This story is a rollercoaster of emotions for me. For one it makes me feel icky to agree with either of these vile sites, but I also think the UK should have some power over cesspools on the Internet. The problem is the whole concept was never built with the idea of needing to moderate people around the globe that may have conflicting laws/regulations. And typically jurisdiction would decide whose laws take precedent, but a site can be hosted anywhere around the world and reach everyone. And without a physical presence in the UK, I don’t think we have a great way to deal with things like this law.

A great example against the UK here is copyright law. If the US doesn’t like someone anywhere else downloading US works, they can’t just enforce US law by going and getting those individuals, they need to work with that country and either have some sort of agreement or go pound salt.

Which is wild when they are working on a new very ambitious game right now.

Why do they always respond by shooting a disproportionately obscene ballistic at things like this camera, instead of just disabling/taking the camera? The target is at a hospital, why are they shooting at a single camera with a tank? And two shells?? For a camera?

I know why, but could some country that gives at least 1 fuck just put troops at the hospitals/aid camps? Offer to run security at these facilities and let the IDF worry about finding Hamas, instead of scary cameras.

I’d love to see our troops do that rather than harassing houseless individuals, or just walking around like Stormtroopers. I know it’s a pipe dream anyone does anything though. 😩

Your probability of remaining anonymous with Google is already slim, but trying to remain anonymous while also using their services has to be near impossible. They are one of the largest advertisers on the Internet, and they have the reach and tech to fingerprint almost everyone.

And it’s also hard for a company to protect profits (remember in the US – capitalism > civil liberties) and comply with all these new regulations if your users are all hiding their locations via VPN.

Social media platforms face huge fines under UK’s new digital safety laws

Also have the ruling of their antitrust case coming up:

Alphabet’s Google (GOOGL) Likely to Avoid Breakup, But Antitrust Remedies Could Hit Core Revenue

I wonder if all these new “protect the kids” age verification laws play a part in this. Not sure what YouTube’s/Google’s liability would be in allowing, for instance, UK users to just VPN around there “Online Safety Act” requirement(s). I’m sure they could play dumb for a bit, but eventually some jackass is going to hear about what people are doing and get Google to explain why VPN traffic is way UP and UK traffic is way DOWN, and “think of the children!”.

Have you tried anything from System76 troubleshooting?

And why would one terrorist (or even a bunch) warrant leveling a hospital full of civilians anyway? You know where they are (supposedly), why not gas them out or something, unless they aren’t the real target …

And if they do see it, he forces them to sign an NDA so he can threaten to sue the shit out of them to keep them silent.

Well, they also have them harassing houseless individuals. Trump has been using the poor as a way to desensitize people to armed troops in the streets, because I’m sure Miller is rock hard just thinking about rounding up everyone that:

1. didn’t vote Trump

2. non-white

Saw video of him and Vance getting boo’d and you could just see his lust for bloodshed. And Trump is completely checked out at this point, because he just doesn’t have enough neurons firing to do anything but cheat at golf.

Not a boomer, but was in Uni in '99. The '99/00 new year was a wild time because everyone waited to see if something had its update missed that would cause mass chaos.

In the end nothing of consequence happened.

Double check that math. 😜 It feels like only a few years ago, and it being a quarter century seems impossible.

Yeah, Trump has no spine, but he is used to dunking on people less fortunate/in need/having morals. When you give zero shits about anyone in this world besides yourself and your daughter you want to fuck, it makes it really easy to just declare yourself tough while beating up the little guys. He has used daddy’s money, lawsuits, and NDAs to carry him through his whole life.

And Trump only cares because he campaigned on ending the war in a day, and has been made to look a fool over and over again by Putin. It’s why him and Vance are so into shitting on Zelensky, Ukraine needs/wants US weapons/help, and Putin doesn’t, giving them no leverage of any kind with Russia. And the Right feels that toxic masculinity when they can shit on people in need.

It would have to throw out something racist about the Irish and potatoes also.

If suffering from CTE it doesn’t seem that wild that his plan did not go according to plan, the guy essentially had dementia.

Ubuntu (and also Debian that it derives from) are always behind on the software release cycles and contain “stale” packages. This is desirable if you’re running a server, but if you’re wanting a modem day desktop experience a non-rolling release distro is just leaving performance/usability of your hardware on the table.

Think of Ubuntu/Debian and all their derivatives as the Jitterbug of the phone industry. They work perfectly fine, but if you want a real phone you’re probably going to be happier with an iPhone or Android phone just because they make use of newer technology and get updates constantly.

That title is very “right friendly”, with a not so subtle blame shift to the doctors.

With all these domains they are continuing to seize and then need to continue to renew, at what point does a bean counter tell them it’s unsustainable? I also wonder how many sites just don’t get renewed because they slipped through the cracks like certs sometimes do. I guess if you’re a domain register this seems like a crazy inflated sales bubble that at some point is going to pop, and hopefully they have saved some of that revenue to ride out that lull.

Edit - a word

No problem and 100% agreed. I think the judge also felt the same way.

U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, in sentencing Hankison, said no prison time “is not appropriate” and would minimize the jury’s verdict from November. Jennings said she was “startled” there weren’t more people injured in the raid from Hankison’s blind shots.

This isn’t the officer that shot/killed her, but the guy that fired 10x threw a window and glass door blindly into her apartment. Several of his rounds went through her walls and into the apartment next door.

Trump’s DOJ was trying to give him a day (time served).
