This is stupid. I will dig further into the real impact to Graphene.

I thought about experimenting with this (Guess it is a good thing I didn't). There are so many low effort "Lo Fi" types of streams and tracklists on Spotify and elsewhere. Who is to say my software generated garbage would be any worse than those?

There are also YouTubers who generate low effort music and ask their normal content subscribers to stream their shit on Spotify even if they aren't legitimately listening. So are those streams fraudulent as well?

It sounds like the thing he is getting popped for is the volume of automated streams.

Ramen was sold out at the ol' warehouse club store. That is my low-tech economic signal that recession is inbound.

Also, when buying bulk ramen, the number of ramen packs you get is approximately half of what they used to include, for the same price.

An earlier story said the door was propped open, as if for airflow or something.

WTF is wrong with people.

If you are paranoid you can literally just take one of those Ring indoor cameras and put it on top of your safe. The app includes custom notifications on detected motion.

Now, the kid could still go out of their way to disable the home WiFi or something but that level of premeditation is a different problem entirely.

First preference would be educating your kids on the safe handling of guns from an early age and inculcating in them a set of values that shows guns are for defensive purposes and not for interpersonal conflict resolution.

The secondary strategy is storing your firearms in a locked safe the kids do not know the combination to, in a locked room to which they don't have a key.

I haven't seen polls on this exact scenario (doubt there are any) but I sincerely doubt there were that many people waiting on bated breath to see which candidate Liz Cheney was going to endorse before voting lockstep with that choice.

This is a vibe

If that's your preference that's fine. The ridiculous part was them stopping it as a default. It resulted in scenarios like people paying $800 per night to stay in a Disney hotel and having an undersized room that doesn't even get cleaned during the week they are there.

It always irritated me that the most prolific benchy design was a boat that isn't useful for anything (besides being a benchmark itself) and doesn't even float.
