I have a drying rack that doesn't open wide enough to slot plates in it. I did manage to fit a chopping board in it, just... Then I heard a crash a few minutes later as it had popped out and jumped out the window.
Fortunately there was scaffolding outside, which I could get onto from a window on the other side. Going up and over the roof to fetch the chopping board gave me the chance to check out the new apartments they're building up there.
All software from torrent sites should be treated with a wary eye.
Excluding all the ancillary services, including the lasers that maintained the plasma, which was the principle part of this latest test.
Factoring everything in, they're at about 15% return.
This is still very good for this stage, but the publications are grossly misleading.
It seems so strange to me that everyone buys the bullshit that personal data is worth very little.
The data brokerage industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry. Yet, there are only ~8 billion people in the world, many of whom don't have internet access or have very little data being traded. Thus it's reasonably safe to assume that an average regular internet user's data is worth somewhere in the region of $1,000 per year.
These companies don't do anything with the data. We create the data, they collect it and sell it, then whoever buys it is the one that actually makes something from it. If we allow the brokers a very generous profit margin, they are still stealing $500-700 from every one of us, every year.
The best bit was at the end:
“I welcome Hunter Biden finally agreeing to testify,” Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) wrote on Tuesday. “It’s long overdue for him to come clean in front of the American people.”
Smith deleted the tweet shortly after he posted it.
To be clear: apple removed an emulator that was a blatant rip off of an open source emulator but full of ads and tracking. The original emulator is still up.
Very strongly worded, but yes.
Brave have had a history of controversy since their inception. Every time something happens, the CEO went on a marketing campaign across social media and drummed up enough new users to drown it out. However the attitude of the business is clear: it would take a very small sack of money for Brave to sell out its users.
If you're going to use a Chromium web browser, there are non-commercial open source projects that don't have a history of shady shit. However Firefox forks are better.
Exactly this. And how can an AI which "doesn't have the source material" in its database be able to recall such information?
The mods have been removed, but in spite of what the admin said they haven't been replaced. The sub is in restricted mode, effectively read only.
Reddit is slowly turning into a graveyard.
At 8:30 p.m. Thursday, after signing off from a live report on Gaza's soaring death toll, Abu Hatab headed to his nearby home in Khan Younis where he lived with his wife, six children, brother and brother's family, his colleagues said.
On his way, he spoke to the Palestine TV bureau chief, Rafat Tidra.
“He was so professional, as always,” Tidra said. “In that conversation, he was focused on what he was going to report the next day, how we were going to work.”
At around 9:30, an Israeli airstrike hit his house, wiping out the Abu Hatab family. No one survived. His neighbor's houses only sustained limited damage from the blast.
So was there a Hamas base under this journalist's private residence or something?!
The first part of your comment contradicts the second.
They attempted to censor him, by removing part of his speech from the teleprompter. He got his phone out and read it from there instead.
“A lot of it is bred from misunderstanding and how the word is smeared,”
The same could be said about "communism" and "socialism". The words have been turned dirty, such that people shy away from what is objectively a good thing when done honestly and to the letter of the principle.
“No amendment can overturn the God-given rights with which we were born,”
But then, that implies that you don't have rights until you're born...
"At first it was called Ehfir," Putin said. "And at one of my public speeches I was talking and said it was Sfera. I arrived at the Kremlin, and the former Roscosmos head greeted me and said, 'Vladimirovich, you said it was project Sfera, Sfera you said. That's what it is, project Sfera.'"
Rogozin, who was listening to these remarks, acted immediately—presumably to save his boss from embarrassment. After Rogozin said the constellation was named Sphere, Putin recalled that he asked how's that? Rogozin replied that it had already been renamed Sfera and not to worry.
Laughing, Putin added, "So I didn't even make it back and it's already renamed to Sfera. So I said, well, OK then."
That's almost cute.
One is unconstitutional to ban, while the other is treason.
Probably a good time to go and download copies of everything I have on there..
Trump had asked to deliver part of the closing arguments himself, but Engoron rejected the request Wednesday in a contentious email exchange with Trump's lawyers after the former president refused to commit to only speaking about the facts of the case and not engage in any attacks.
The judge didn't really reject their request, they simply ghosted him when he told them the terms under which he would accept their request, and after 2 or 3 deadline extensions their opportunity lapsed.
Shortly after they introduced reddit gold, they made enough money to cover the server costs for decades. A few years later, with continued revenue from this (until they scrapped it last year), all the money was gone.
The reason reddit loses money is because it's poorly managed.
According to an archived version of his campaign website, Cassidy pushed for a 10-year prison sentence for anyone who destroys a statue in his own state.
I'm sure he expects exactly the same punishment for himself.
Piracy explicitly is not stealing. Theft requires denying the owner of the ability to use the thing that is stolen. Copyright infringement does not meet this bar, and is not a crime in the vast majority of cases. Commercial copyright infringement is the only offense classed as a crime, which in a nutshell is piracy for profit ie selling pirated material.
So he's going to jail right? Held in jail until his next trial date, like what normally happens to people held in contempt?
How long until the Louis Rossmann video that tells us it's all rubbish?
including stealing money from his campaign, deceiving donors about how contributions would be used
I bet this was the real reason he was expelled. Congressmen rely on donations for their grift, and their donors were no doubt asking if they supported his practice.
Musk's lawyers argued that their client was "one of the busiest people on the planet," and that any disclosure failure was "inadvertent."
So we're pretty much already at the point of admitting that there was a failure of disclosure. There must be some pretty strong evidence against him.
Lemmy.ml is somewhat more neutral. In Lemmygrad you can sometimes have a discussion, but you will probably be downvoted. Hexbear is just toxic, it's like Lemmygrad but for 14 year olds.
So they're making $150-300k per year, with more for severance. That is indeed relatively low compared to major tech companies.
The article's examples were Docusign (CEO made $85M) and Google (CEO made $225M).
Laura Passaglia, the Sonoma County Superior Court judge who presided over the trial, barred Hsiung from showing most evidence of animal cruelty, depriving him of the ability to show his motives for entering the farms.
What a bitch.
the app maxed out at 3,000 daily active users, out of 20,000 registered users.
This is smaller than many mastadon instances.
Sounds like the internet in the 90s.
He still succeeded in removing a liberal college.
Lmao the Guardian source article made me double take on the first paragraph:
That big B looks as if it doesn't just apply to the first line.
Bernie Sanders sweeps into his state office in Burlington, Vermont, Bitching to get on with our interview. When I try to break the ice by Basking the US senator how he is, he replies gruffly, “Good,”
Haven't we had oil at $100 a barrel before, and not that many years ago? And yet fuel and energy prices were lower.
It's almost as if the price the consumer pays has absolutely nothing to do with cost.
In other words, don't fucking give up that you're the source, and journalists mustn't give up their sources either.
Or, you could flee to another country. Is Edward Snowden still alive?
Now the clause is completely absent in any of the new ToS, which means that users are obligated to any changes Unity made to their services regardless of version numbers including pricing updates such as the recent fee that will charge developers per game install.
No, it doesn't. Just because Unity decide to update the terms and conditions does not mean that users are obligated to accept new terms.
Even if he did have a right to take secret documents from the White House, he has a clear duty to protect their secrecy. This is an admission of guilt.
The President is not god, he has a duty to serve the people and the nation.
Empress is pretty much the only person who cracks Denuvo DRM - the only other person who publicly releases cracks only does it for Football Manager games. However, Empress is just a little unhinged, as this post demonstrates.
There was an r/HobbyDrama reddit post that covers much of the history: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/rowk83/digital_piracy_the_rise_of_empress_how_one_woman/
While other companies around the world are constantly in search of new ways to screw their own consumers
You bastard, take that upvote.
Erm, WhatsApp would suggest otherwise.
WhatsApp was the vector for zero click access to a target's phone from Israel's weapons grade hacking Pegasus toolkit. They would send a video call, typically in the middle of the night, and with no input from the used they'd get full access. My personal belief is that they used functionality WhatsApp itself uses to access user data.
There was also an encrypted phone called ANOM, which had this trick calculator app with a hidden encrypted messager. "Made for criminals, by criminals". Except, when the guy started his business he got investment from the FBI and Australian Federal Police to pay for the servers and some of the phones themselves. Basically every time it sent an encrypted message it sent a separate encrypted message to the ANOM servers. It's entirely possible (perhaps even likely) that WhatsApp would do this also.
As for Google, they're truly insidious. Lots of banks now require you to connect to Google captcha servers - they don't give you the pictures, it's just the back end, basically the tracking parts. Then there's the controversy about them collecting location data when users have said no. They absolutely do collect data they shouldn't.
