It’s definitely X. They left X because they were prevented from engaging in hate speech and held responsible for their actions. Musk created a right-wing hate safe space, and the audience for these users is much larger on X. There’s also a handy way to identify your right-wing brethren with a blue check while they harass perceived liberals.
All in all, no need for Truth Social anymore.
When did The Verge start paywalling? Ugh.
Hi Ukraine, we understand you didn’t want to immediately surrender your lands and rights. That’s very difficult, we realize. To address your concerns, we’re now offering an installment plan.
Yeah, I’m sure Finamp and the rest of the Jellyfin options people are recommending do the trick for most people, but I’m really happy with PlexAmp.
It also has Chromecast capability and is to my knowledge the only self-hosted option that does so. Really handy for casting to speaker systems, though I’m guessing many people just use Bluetooth for most off-device playback.
At this point, does anyone except Trump not know when he’s bluffing? I mean, just think of the discovery this news publication could get if he did sue.
If he filed a suit, he’d be guaranteeing not just access, but court-enforced access, to the most relevant, secret documents proving his witness tampering.
I need to see it. I enjoyed the book as well, while we’re at it. Really really good.
Honestly, I really enjoyed Solaris.
Yes, very strange. Normally “Hot” sorting is good but doesn’t cycle quite that fast for me. Sorting by comments (because a LOT of them had comments) would have returned them, and toggling different sorting methods didn’t return most of them, just the occasional one. Top-Day was the sorting that returned them.
What happened to all of the posts reporting on this? Two hours ago the frontpage was top to bottom guilty verdict posts and now this is the only one in any sorting method (including by comments). It suggests they were removed.
Am I the only one seeing this? Did individual instances manually remove them?
Well, the phrase is, “the plural of anecdote is not statistic.” In this case, we only have a single case, so it doesn’t even escape “anecdote.” I think at that point, there isn’t yet a scientific basis to call it a “cure.”
Even the premise of a ceasefire is so insulting. It would be agreeing that the invasion-pushed borders are valid enough to accept for a day, and by that, Ukraine would take the first step to agreeing they could accept them for a hundred days, a thousand… Every additional day strengthening the appearance of legitimacy. Russia needs to be broken to understand, there’s no negotiation that would work.
Like all of Putin’s games, if you agree to play, you’ve already lost.
It’s whether the OS has hardware to make the platform “trusted.” Android does by default with Widevine, Windows does by default with TPM and Widevine, Linux does not by default.
“Trusted” here of course means, trusted by the company, not by the user. If it’s a trusted platform, it has a cryptographic key exchange space that the user does not have access to. This prevents a spoofed DRM certificate or other interception of the HD stream, which in theory prevents a stream from leaking.
“In theory” of course, because every piece of content is ripped and available DRM-free as soon as it’s released.
Just curious, what the heck does your good friend say to justify the Russian invasion? (Edit: apparent stroke when I first wrote this)
Yeah, but not ceding the expectation is important.
The headline is misleading, but the article reports it correctly.
In copyright law in the US, there is a 3-year statute of limitations. However, some jurisdictions follow the “discovery rule.” This is a court-made doctrine that allows a lawsuit to be filed beyond 3 years if the plaintiff can show they only discovered the infringement after the statute of limitations ran out, with some other extenuating factors. However, there is also the issue of damages. Under a sister legal doctrine, damages that are more than 3 years old have been barred regardless of whether the discovery rule allows a lawsuit. Effectively negating the discovery rule.
The Supreme Court in this situation held that damages follow the discovery rule. Meaning, if the discovery rule applies, then damages can be sought. The Court explicitly said it wasn’t ruling on whether the discovery rule applied.
The decision doesn’t expand or create the discovery rule that allows lawsuits beyond 3 years. That already existed.
Interestingly, this is a rare time when I agree with Gorsuch on the dissent. He basically said, “The damages is moot because the discovery rule is made up and shouldn’t even apply, so the majority is wasting its time even entertaining that damages can be sought.”
Old is a state of mind, and these execs are OLD.
The people who want to oppress LGBTQ people literally can’t fathom that they wouldn’t oppress them right back if they had power.
People are not good at critically evaluating options and don’t have the time or attention to do so. Not a knock on young people, pretty much everyone in 2024 has divided attention 24/7.
So we turn to heuristics, ways to short-circuit decision making. Like looking at what arguments experts make, how often we hear arguments, who is the most confident, etc. Those are easily exploited by right-wing populists.
This is such a good observation. We all assumed the “digital natives” generation was going to be able to just be hacker-level familiar with technology. And for those who grew up with just PCs, it’s probably true. But the “smartphone native” generation followed so quickly it changed the learning patterns. They understand tech generally and specific apps, but get lost with troubleshooting general problems because computers became appliances.
Scary to think but…Are the same young people who a decade ago were tech support for their parents and grandparents going to have to also do it for their adult children and grandchildren?
Honest question: What should democrats do to reverse the Supreme Court?
