Don't worry, there's the insurrection and riots next.

It's just twitter and a zoom clone right?

Zero sympathy. If they wanted to reduce the amount of illegal streamers, all they've got to do is make their content more accessible.

Release it on multiple streaming platforms, not just their own. Ensure its released globally at the same time. And get rid of the geo-blocking.

The lack of reasonable legal alternatives is what drives piracy.

This an American thing? This is exactly what happens in the UK.

"I will always love you..."

Literal stalkers. Fucking creepy.

Because since 2016 they've learnt there is zero consequences for such actions. In fact, even when there is bad publicity, their fan base is more like a cult following and supports them more.

All the social media engineering they did REALLY dug deep with the impressionables.

This, among other shitty behaviour, is why I avoid Amazon now. It's just a horrible shopping experience.

IPv4 isn't depreciated, it's exhausted. It's still a key cornerstone of our current internet today.

We still have "modern" hardware being deployed with piss-poor IPv6 support (if any at all). Until that gets fixed, adoption rates will continue to be low. Adding warnings will only result in annoying people, not driving for improvement.

“Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.”

Says the man who's making this political...

This had nothing to do with Biden or the Republican Party... He's been tried & found guilty of defaming E. Jean Carroll.

Why is a private entity able to use facial recognition software in the first place. I know doesn't have the equivilant of GDPR, but surely it has some level of privacy laws?

Why did the police think that was sufficient evidence to jail someone, especially when there wasn't any further collaborating evidence.

Considering they dismantled every control they had to prevent disinformation, and it was already a cesspool to begin with... Why are people still using Twitter?

Would be interesting in seeing the thermal and fan noise results.

Whilst I have no plans on buying the OLED edition, it did make me question that decision a couple of times watching these reviews come in. The LCD edition, with its quirks, is serving me just fine.

I'm also impressed with how candid Valve is bring with both their system & repairability improvements. Just wish other corporations did the same.

Perhaps the racist chanting and the nazi salutes have something to do with it. Who knows!

As much as I'd like to see another attempt... Good on the FAA.

That launch was dangerous. Huge chunks of concrete were projected up to 6.5 miles away from the launch site.

They either significantly miscalculated the expected damage to the launch pad, or knew and did it anyway. Both are pretty bad.

I'm legitimately interested in getting the bank account & sort code details of Elon, Bezos, Arnault, Zuckerberg, Gates, Ballmer, Buffet, Ellison, Page, and Brin.

Honestly surprised Sable was able to get settlements from Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, SonicWall, and Juniper Networks. They're not small names in the industry.

It was only Cloudflare's legal strategy which managed to invalidate the patents.

It's such a stupid name! Everytime it's mentioned, it has to be prepend or suffixed with something so people actually understand the "X" context.

And more importantly - If you visit x.com, it redirects to twitter.com! So what's the fucking point of the rebrand?

The healthy food options are also usually twice the cost too.

You're in an abusive relationship with Duolingo. Support is available.

Whilst technically immune now, assassinating them is still extremely polarising and likely to make martyrs, forever. And they won't be able to justify the consequences of their decisions.

Re-arresting them constantly however, from the oval office, interfering with their civil liberties... They themselves would have to describe how it's not an official act, and why the president shouldn't be immune.

The moment they make a ruling... destroy their property, seize their assets, etc... Make their lives a living hell.

It's still polarising, but makes them feel the consequences of their actions. And they'll have to justify it in the public court of opinion for everyone to see to why this is a good thing.

Wasn't even aware it was still a thing, apart from on mobile (where it somewhat makes sense-ish)

Much like naming a company "X"

Whilst I agree in the spirit of the petition, the wording isn't great.

Server infrastructure has significant opex costs to run & maintain - it's impractical to demand publishers to keep them alive, especially if the running cost far exceeds the player demand & potential revenues. What happens if that publisher goes bust? What happens if a significant security vulnerability is found?

Might be better to have legislation for software publishers (not just games) to both plan & implement a sunsetting strategies when they intend to retire software.

Eg. If the online component was just performing license checks, make software publishers remove the DRM. If it's to host a DLC store, release all DLC items for free & remove the store. If its for multi-player mechanics, release both the client & server software as limited open-source license so the community can maintain those assets going forward.

Don't give him ideas! He's not smart enough to understand its meant to be satire.

I never had an issue with YT's 1-2 skipable ads at the beginning, or even the banner ad. But they got greedy.

The midrolls and the unskipable ads was the trigger point for me.

During the UK lockdowns, I tipped all the front line workers where I could. That's it.

I'm not tipping someone as compensation for doing their job, that's what their employer is for.

So maybe the answer is to just partially complete it?

If it was a human agent, surely they would still liable?

They're an agent of the company. They're acting on behalf of the company, in accordance to their policy and procedures. It then becomes a training issue if they were providing incorrect information?

Surprised she didn't freak out with the line below. It's already gone on a killing spree...

It stopped being comical years ago. Their behavior is jarring.

Considering he knew exactly how many votes he needed to win Georgia, couldn't this be used against him in court?

They don't care. It's about control and real estate.

It's as though they took "The Handmaid's Tale" as a blueprint.

Go further... If men reported every "deposit" too

The only way my spermy brethren could have become a millionaire is if they teleported to a different wealth class. That was never fucking happening.
