Libre doesn’t support IDM, nor provide email, nor MFA, nor CAM, nor MDM, nor storage.

M365 Business Premium is a LOT more than Office Documents.

It’s not a TERF thing. Nearly no one cares about who goes into a “Men’s” Restroom and it’s always been that way.

Cargo ships don’t really use diesel, they run on bunker fuel.

It’s point to point delivery. The cargo isn’t in orbit.

requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities

The actual law isn’t about confessions nor is it solely about CSAM. What Washington State has done is amend their mandatory report law by removing the exemption for Clergy.

“…has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department as provided in RCW 26.44.040.”

So yes, if a Priest (Catholic or not) hears a confession about CSAM they will be required to report. However if they hear about child *neglect *in a confession they have to report that as well.

Likely more meaningfully they ALSO now have to report those same things even if it isn’t during a Confession. For example if they witness a parent smacking their kid around in the parking lot.

It’s a necessary and correct change but it reaches a lot further than just the confessional.

I haven’t read the law, but it would be interesting if it explicitly allowed a “mandatory reporter” to satisfy the requirement by facilitating the transgressor to turn themselves in.

Here’s a link to the law as passed.

It doesn’t seem to explicitly allow what you are suggesting but I supposed the “or cause a report to be made” clause could be interpreted that way.

We also need a law that requires news sources to provide links to law(s) being discussed in their articles!

If anyone would like to read this law here you go.

This is strange.

Let me know when you figure it out. I’m happy to revisit.

You may be correct on MB though. I pulled that number from a news article that I can’t get into again because I exceeded my daily threshold of free ones. I’ll just concede that I’m incorrect on the case count in MB specifically, at least until I can get into the dang article again.

Western Europe has way less cases…

Fair enough, so lets move those goalposts to the west a bit.

Here’s the EU data from April 2024 to 31 March 2025, which seems to be the latest available. You’ll note that in that time period there were 26,222 cases. Romania, Italy, Germany, France, and Belgium reported the most.

…and nearly all of them in Romania.

True but Romania is part of the EU and so they count against the numbers. Just like Texas does for the US.

Looking at the data we can plainly see that in 2025 the EU has reported more cases of measles every month than the US has in all months combined. The EU had 4482 cases by the end of March while the US is still under a thousand partway into May.

For funsies though let’s remove Romania from the data completely and see what it looks like.

Of 26,222 cases Romania accounted for 21,620 which leaves a remainder of 4,602. On the United States side there has been 935 cases YTD and there were 285 in 2024 for a total of 1,219 in the past 16+ months.

I’ve linked and quoted Official Sources from both the EU and the US and the data clear; the EU is having a worse measles outbreak than the US.

Lest you feel I’m picking on the EU I’m also going after Canada because they too have had more cases of measles since just last October than the US has had in the past 16+ months. You can find that data linked in my post here.

Where are you getting your info from?

The OP’s article.

"One in Ontario, Canada, has resulted in 1,243 cases from mid-October through April 29. "

It’s literally the 2nd sentence of the 3rd paragraph.

Additionally Canada’s Health Minister has updated the total to 1,384 as of today, May7th.

If your own Health Minister being quoted in a Canadian News Source isn’t good enough then I guess this conversation is over.

I always roll my eyes when I read hyperbolic comments like this; both the incident rate and the absolute case count is higher in Manitoba Canada than the entirety of the United States and if that isn’t enough the European Region has a skyrocketing case count with over 120,000 cases reported to the W.H.O. in 2024 which is more than 10 times the cases in the United States.

So the numbers say that the Europeans should ban themselves first, then the Canadians, and then the Americans.

“Starting” is somewhat of an understatement; since October of 2024 Manitoba has had over 1,200 measles cases. In that same time frame the United States has had 951.

With less than 1% of the US population Manitoba has nearly 30% more cases between 10/1/24 and 5/1/25.

I honestly had no idea there was even a problem in Manitoba until I read your comment. Now I’m wondering why the US is headline news for this.

Got a link to an article or something discussing that?

That isn’t exactly true with Steam. Valve does allow a dev to offer a discount at a different store as long as that same discount comes to Steam in a reasonable amount of time.

Straight from the docs:“It’s OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.”

Samsung Dex already does this with Android.

Good.

Very odd comparison…

Not really. There are more people using Steam than own a PS5 or Xbox X. So in what reality does Steam “not work for most people”?

you just need to sign up and you’re considered a user.

You’ll note that I used Steam’s ACTIVE user statistic. That’s not people who just “signed up”, those are people playing games on Steam.

Steam works just fine for most people.

Steam doesn’t work for most people? You sure about that? It has 132 Million active users, that’s nearly double the number of PS 5s that have been sold!

I’ll have to try the UET mod but the author’s changelog doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Yeah, no shit it’s hostile. This Administration is being hostile to their business! What in the fuck did they expect to happen?
