If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don't trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.

In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.

"The two models, the 30TB ... and the 32TB ..., each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk". Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?

In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don't have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

looking at the junction points on that diagram only one side of the axle would change track if the switch was pulled resulting in a derailment so you could ignore the possibility of hitting the people in the middle thereby reducing this example to two parallel but unconnected trolley problems

i choose to kill whoever calls them trolleys and not trams

That 2012 one looks like I've focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.

According to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn't need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn't violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.

You can't misgender a brand. You can't deadname a brand. You can't befriend a brand.

I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn't sound half bad.

100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn't asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.
