So the artist is following through with pressing charges? Instead of just hitting ctrl+p and reprinting his art? Seems like an opportunity to give someone a break who might need one.

In Seattle I believe this is being done to make it less controversial about which locker room trans people use… there’s one.

I have a coworker with a mechanical keyboard, and I find myself irrationally upset at him throughout the day. No one else seems to mind.

Having RW permissions doesn’t mean this kid is different from the other engineers working on the project, or that he can circumvent check-in policies regarding code reviews and signoff.

Thanks for mentioning Lapham’s Quarterly, I’m reading past issues now.
Any other reading recommendations?
Re:Shoplifting and frustrated customers plague self-checkout
on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @10:51PM (#38705260)
My local Home Depot has 3 humans overseeing 6 self-checkout kiosks… I’m guessing they’re there to protect against shoplifting (which certainly leads to accusations of profiling) and assist when the machine inevitable fails at something.
Seems logical, especially for a hardware store that sells so many parts requiring product# lookups, to just have those attendants be cashiers.

Shouldn’t this partly be addressed with rising interest rates? Depress the economy so the consumer is more frugal and unwilling to pay these marked up prices

Same, I prefer to unplug and read the physical magazines. Is there a decent alternative service for managing my physical magazine subscriptions?
I have 3 subscriptions that I only have because Amazon makes them easy to manage/renew/cancel

Damn. This was a really useful tool for me to manage all my magazine subscriptions without dealing with shady auto-renewal practices by publishers.

“ McGirt, 71, has served more than two decades in prison after being convicted in 1997 in Wagoner County in eastern Oklahoma of rape, lewd molestation and forcible sodomy of a 4-year-old girl. McGirt, who did not contest his guilt in the case before the justices, had appealed a 2019 ruling by a state appeals court in favor of Oklahoma.”
