"Flex Is In Spec, Buckling Is Not" - Commodore Addresses Quality Control Concerns With Its C64 Ultimate

Ouch that's a lot of flex. Worried it won't hold up to long term use by heavy handed typists.

I need video of this in action!

I think that's up to device vendors giving parents decent controls and parents monitoring their kids devices. Which is admittedly not great, but still better than the honor system and more reasonable than submitting your license.

The idea isn't to let sites restrict adults, just let them restrict kids. So there wouldn't be a child internet.

Where should I put diskette images?

The Internet Archive would be the usual place.

Huh, I didn't know you could do that. Where do you go to get to the downloads?

Are they ending the ability to upload files to Kindle too?

By litigate I mean, if a person is creating something and says they don't plan to distribute it, do we take their word for it?

If it ends up getting distributed anyway, should we take their word that it was an accident?

We consider people's private data important enough that if you leak it even by mistake you are on the hook for that. You have a responsibility.

I think that rather than framing this as something harmless unless distributed and therefore intent to distribute matters, we should treat it as something you have a responsibility not to create because it will be harmful when it is inevitably distributed.

How do you litigate 'intention' in this way?
