#question about the whole "#identify yourself in order to Internet"... Let's say that someone is known under a nickname, let's say Billy, and hasn't officially changed their name from William (because nobody but an angry Mum, and the IRS, uses that form of the name anyways). Let's say that a website suddenly demands that Billy proves who he is, so he cusses under his breath and uploads a government issued ID. "Denied". Well, the uploaded ID did say "William" and the account claims to be called "Billy" and how is the entity tasked with checking IDs be able to know that William and Billy be the same person rather than brothers... Okay, less of a question and more of a rant, and an admittance that I hadn't even thought of this problem until I saw it in action last night.

#Question for the #Android crowd: I know that Google is removing the ability to sideload come September on the Google version of Android. If one were to place #LineageOS or similar on their device, I'm certain the sideload thing wont be a problem. However, getting apps from say Aurora Store, will there be any issues since they will require signing? I'm sure I'll need microG services, so I'm confused if that will end up causing some sort of issue with the required signing or not. I used to be able to work through these things, but my meds have me all messed up nowadays. Thanks in advance!

Hey, can anyone trace the origin of this miniature? I don't actually own one, it's not my photo, a friend in a Discord server posted this image earlier today, and another friend wants to know who made it; the initial friend who shared it didn't know who made it, and considering it was posted in a #meme channel according to the said friend, I expect the person they got it from doesn't know either. It looks too big to be actually playable on a #BattleTech hex map even as a proxy, but maybe it's fine as a desk ornament or something. (Also, this is gonna be one of the strangest combinations of hashtags I've ever come up with for a post since my introductory posts.) #PeanutsComic #BattleMech #Snoopy #Miniatures #Question #WhoMadeThis
