  • What do you think of homeschooling?

    Jump

  • There’s plenty of opportunity to socialize as a homeschooler. The stereotype exists because many (most?) homeschooled kids are so because the isolation and rejection of social norms is the point. But there’s also a demographic of them that exist because they live in bad school districts and don’t have the money for private school.

    Neighborhood kids form bonds with other neighborhood kids regardless of the school they go to. Homeschool kids are more often than not allowed to join their local school sports teams as well. I think you’d be surprised how many people you’ve met who were homeschooled that you’d never guess.

  • Self-Host Weekly (17 April 2026)

  • You can access the RAS feed for the newsletter for free, but if you want to be able to read it in your RSS client without having to visit the site directly you have to become a member.

  • MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam

    Jump

  • I read the reviews too, 95% of which indicate the opposite. Perhaps you should learn to read.

  • You’d be surprised at how many games run on Mac natively. RE2 Remake on a MacBook Air is surprisingly good.

    That being said you can’t expect every indie game to run natively in every OS.

  • MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam

    Jump

  • it's a shallow game covered in style.

    That’s not a preference, and there doesn’t appear to be any evidence that it’s even true. I don’t like or dislike the game, you’ve just made a determination about the game based on literally nothing while all available evidence we do have (the reviews) indicate the opposite.

  • MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam

    Jump

  • The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Out of nearly 2,000 reviews less than 100 are negative at all.

  • Federal Bill Would Bring OS-Level Age Verification to the Entire U.S.

    Jump

  • It’s sponsored by one Republican and one Democrat.

  • Struggling shoe retailer Allbirds makes bizarre pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes more than 400%

    Jump

  • Back in what day? 25 years ago this is exactly what happened with the dotcom bubble and it was just as silly.

  • Verify your ID to protect the kids

    Jump

  • Buying profiling data from Google is not nearly as effective at tracking and controlling your online activity as integrating facial scans and government ID checks into every website or even directly into your operating system.

    Frankly a brand new account pushing the “The government is already tracking you, there’s nothing you can do about it, don’t worry about all the new ways they can track you, just give in” narrative is a little suspicious.

  • Verify your ID to protect the kids

    Jump

  • It is in fact a government conspiracy to track you. Not necessarily to gather data on you, which can be purchased from brokers, but so that they can also control what you can access.

    There’s no mechanism that the government currently has that can track you as effectively as these age verification laws can.

  • FCC just handed Netgear a de facto router monopoly in the US

    Jump

  • It's a clumsy attempt to strongarm tech companies into setting up factories in the USA

    Evidently not since Netgear has zero factories in the USA and plans to bring zero factories to the USA in the future.

    It may also be an attempt to create an environment in which it's easier to install US government backdoors on every home router.

    It’s this one.

  • it's a matter of motivation

    Jump

  • Then they’re not volunteers. They’re PRN employees. What you have in your town is a paid, professional fire department.

    Volunteers on the other hand not paid. They don’t make a dime at any fire call. The law generally allows small, nominal cash rewards as incentives while still being considered volunteer, like awarding a couple hundred bucks at the end of the year for top responders, or a small dispensation of cash per call, but that’s it.

    More than 80% of the fire departments in the United States operate this way, with over 65% of firefighters in the country being unpaid volunteers. The firefighters in your town are not included in these numbers.

  • Huge Group of Experts Warns Meta That Its Pervert Glasses Will Enable Terrible Crimes

    Jump

  • The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?

    A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.

  • What movies are your "absolute must" in 4K+

    Jump

  • Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

    More accurate colors, and they fixed the longstanding issue with the bluray 1080p release where the frame wasn’t cropped correctly, which made it so you couldn’t see certain things you were supposed to see, and saw other things you weren’t, like empty parts of sets or camera shadows, things like that.

    You can see what I mean here in this review with comparison shots: https://highdefdiscnews.com/2021/06/24/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-4k-uhd-blu-ray-review/

  • it's a matter of motivation

    Jump

  • Most firefighters in the U.S. are volunteer, and make no money at all. Being paid per call is not the norm.

  • it's a matter of motivation

    Jump

  • Volunteer firefighters are unpaid. That is what volunteer means in this context. They make $0.

    There are some places where they get tossed a few bucks per call, but most of them don’t make a cent.

  • What decade had the best cartoons?

    Jump

  • I don’t think there’s a whole lot going on right now and I don’t think we’ll have another great decade of cartoons unfortunately.

    Adventures Time and the new Avatar show are just continuations of shows spawned in the 2000’s. I can almost guarantee that the new Avatar show will not be good. Steven Universe another existing IP. Lowe Decks is great but has been cancelled.

    Even if you counted all of these cartoons as new, fresh, and greats, they pale in comparison to that 98-2010 run with literally dozens of new and iconic shows. Kinda seems like the era of cartoons is coming to a close. With these last vestiges just milking what nostalgia there is left.

  • What decade had the best cartoons?

    Jump

  • It was also the period of time where Cartoon Network started making new TV shows instead of just airing Hannah Barbera reruns. This led to what was essentially a third golden age for children’s cartoons, and subsequently spawned Adult Swim and Toonami.

    We haven’t had anything like that since and due to the downfall of network TV likely never will again.

  • Do people get progressively less happy as they age?

    Jump

  • This is a difficult question to answer in a generic sense because right now there are a lot of external factors that are progressively making people unhappier and it’s not really to do with age.
