The best meta for the attainment of pixel heaven.

1. Be pretty, this feels good already anyway
2. Get a husband obsessed with EQ, "husbands" have the stamina and mindset for the grind
3. Husband forms a guild and "gets gud" in order to seek validation from the pretty being husband is chemically addicted too..
4. Hubby and friends powerlevel wifies character eliminating the hardest part of the grind
5. Show up at raids and look cool being husbands waifu, get preferential treatment for having a pretty avatar irl. Accept DKP for little to no extra effort

This highlights a symbiotic strategy that is mutually beneficial to a pretty person and an EQ addict.

If I didn't PL my wife's toons I'd be grumbly at you, but dammit if you didn't hit the nail on the head.

The only catch is that she refuses to raid and listen to 100 nechbeards growl about CH chains. So no more raiding for us, but this game is plenty big enough to ignore the raid-scene.

Static trio starting with 0 plat / twinking (not SSF, just simulating starting from scratch).

This is the way.

The symbiotic relationship sometimes involves a dog. While all this is going on they get to sleep in the sun. Dogs put us on farm status ages ago.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/reddit-user-uncovers-behind-meta-154717384.html


A Reddit researcher just exposed how Meta funneled over $2 billion through shadowy nonprofits to push age verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build surveillance infrastructure into every device—while conveniently exempting Meta’s own platforms from the same requirements.

...
Proposed laws would embed persistent identity verification directly into operating systems.

...

The European Union’s Digital Identity Wallet takes a radically different approach. Zero-knowledge proofs let you verify age without revealing personal data—like showing you’re over 18 without disclosing your birthdate or identity details. It’s open-source, self-hostable, and only applies to large platforms while exempting FOSS and small entities.

Your device’s trustworthiness hangs in the balance. These laws could force every Linux distribution and privacy-focused Android fork to implement identity verification or face legal liability. The choice between surveillance-free computing and regulatory compliance is coming faster than you think.

The original reddit post from /r/Linux is proper journalism and meta deez

guess talkin about that meta isn't fully a thread derailment, is odd this has happened like three times in the last month with magenetaress threads though.

Ubuntu is exploring optional, D-Bus-based age verification mechanisms to comply with California’s Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043), effective January 2027, which mandates age checks during OS setup. Discussions include storing age brackets, not specific dates, but Canonical has not finalized a plan or committed to a specific implementation

feelin pretty smug as an arch linux user, apparently all the debian based distros will comply

Tails Project is debian from memory so we'll see. (https://agelesslinux.com)

I love how you lay bare the human condition without being overly morose or aggressive. The enmeshment within the EQ paradigm is just bonus toots of the horn. If "helping other people" in this timeline merits one some sort of AA advancement in the next, you may be surprised just how much of a difference you make, Magnetaress. Thank you, truly.

Thank you for your question. Maybe you could try killing summoned Eye of Zomm's until you attain enlightenment and freedom from the cycle of rebirth.

Ok.

I also don't care about the age verification thing.

This isn't a mall. No unattended minors.
