Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn’t care less about two brothers sharing an account. They’re more worried about large groups sharing an account.
It’s something people don’t realize. We may be a scourge on the Earth, but we’re still nowhere even near the top of the list of worst things to happen to this planet.
As the other reply brought up, Theia crashing into Earth. Flood basalt events. The Chicxulub impact.
We may be able to cause some real awful shit, but we still are nothing compared to what the forces of nature can produce. And just to clarify, I’m not saying this to in any way downplay the seriousness of climate change, or that we should do nothing about it.
The answer to the ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians is not more ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians
Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.
But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they’re always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.
It’s a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.
Everyone in general
Emulation when I was younger (and to a lesser extent now. I own the vast majority of old consoles/games I have any interest in playing these days). These days it’s near exclusively TV/Movies and pretty much entirely because of convenience. Between myself and the others in my household, we have near every streaming service, I just can’t be fucked to figure out which one what I want to watch is on.
I really need to get around to turning my old pc into a media server.
Ah yep, you’re right that’s the one I was thinking of. Both are pretty interesting, forget how young this country is sometimes.
So I went to double check, and I got a fair bit of it wrong.

She was actually the daughter of the woman I thought I was talking about. Her mother married her father at ages 29 and 78 respectively, and she was born one of five children in 1930, living until the age of 90 before passing in 2020.
Not at all an answer to your question, but a very semi-related tangent.
The last receipt of a US Civil War pension passed away relatively recently. She was a young woman who would regularly help out a local older man, a civil war vet with no kids or family otherwise. Towards the end of his days, he married her so she’d get the benefits of his pension, as things were really really tough.
Some of the detail might be off, going off of memory, but that’s the general gist.
EDIT:

It’s a feedback loop. A fairly small jump can get you trending, which makes people watch it, which makes it even more visible, rinse and repeat.
If we had the same size, I could be wearing my grandfather’s steeltoes that are probably a solid 40 years old. People really underestimate how long good footwear lasts when you take care of it.
Right? I remember being absolutely mind blown away by a 2gb SD card. Nowadays I pickup a 32gb microSD for $3 every time I got to Micro Center
Hey we’re actually ahead of the EU in something!
Already happens in a very round a bout tangential way. At least in America, most homes have far more heating capacity than they will ever actually use.
I think that’s just mead
I generally prefer people don’t spread misinformstion through laziness, yes.
Shame it wasn’t sooner
They are separate bills. You’d know that if you bothered to read the first sentence of the second paragraph that OP copy/pasted. You didn’t even have to click on the article.
Oh I never said it was good
