Some of those are absurdly strong. I have wild grapes in my yard that got ahold of an old clothesline with 6 lines across it. Now I didn’t use said line so figured just let it be to feed the birds and such. Turns out it got thick enough that one winter when a particularly heavy snow came through the weight of the snow on the vine mat was enough to bend in the poles that are a good 3 inches thick.

For those willing to do a bit of CLI work there are even tools to pull your whole library automagically. Just make sure you got the space for it. Sitting at just over 1.5 TB here.

The whole concept of corporations as distinct eternal entities could use a reworking. From copyright, to liability, to corporate ‘speech’, it all shields to interests of the well heeled from responsibility for their actions. Some level of separation from an individual is needed or no small business would ever date take the risk of starting up, but at a certain point somebody needs to own the actions of it. How we define that is beyond me, but for now I’d take removing non-breathing entities from the voting pool and political funding as a start.

They as a candidate don’t, the campaign as a whole is important to support though. Particularly if it can be shown that the funds come from small doners it shows popular support. I would rather see a crowd funded candidate with millions of $5 donations than a handful of super-pacs funneling dark money into it. It’s exactly the kind of problem that citizens United caused that we need to revert to show the popular will of the people.

There are some use cases other than web page compatibility. One for me is in dealing with firewall and proxy policy, if the agent is a browser and comes in on specified explicit ports then force authentication, things of that nature.

Or one could view it as regardless of efforts at future prevention, we still need to pick up from the past. If we stopped every scrap of plastic in production today that pile of junk would still be floating about for the next millennia.

Then when the 5th largest economy in the world decides they don’t feel like playing with you anymore you get to find out what a budget deficit really means.

He knows just how badly she was able to pull his strings and play him like a puppet. Time and time again. The bit with poking at his rallys was priceless to see.

People have done that for ages. Pic taken of the screen with another device, try and block that now. Basic rule, if you send it out assume it’s no longer private.

One of the few places it could be posted on Lemmy without being down voted to the abyss, but only because it can’t be.

Not to say anything against leaking it, but if it got traced back that someone internal did so then it’s possible the gov takes away their deduction.

Now if someone happened to haxor in to leak it well, that’s hardly the studio’s problem…

Probably the biggest factor compared to something like Tile chips is that it’s embedded into the OS rather than an app. You can turn it off, but you can bet that a letter from the right person can compel Google to turn it back on.

Oh come on, you think some would do that? Go in the internet and tell lies?

I mean it is or at least should be a policy on most sites already, it’ll be nice to have some teeth beyond banning their accounts though.

Zuckerberg wrote that the censored content included humor and satire, and that administration officials “expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”

It does, but given what it is they’re griping about being censored you can bet it was a lot of anti-vax/covid is a joke stuff. People trying to promote vaccination don’t tend to make jokes about it.

The only one of those I do is for the grocery shop, and frankly I’m not even sure why since it doesn’t do much. They give me a couple bucks off and a gas discount but only at one shop I’m pretty sure inflates the standard price to accommodate it. Never sent an email or a text bugging to come buy anything though and it’s only based on my phone number and could even be an anonymous paper card with no sign up, but no gas discount for the card since it uses the phone number to activate that at the pump.

A nickle off a soda is far from the cost to get your app on my phone.

Dammit, I was stuck thinking of the stuff in a petri dish.

Also a nice tool, but not nearly as convenient if you want to just pull a quick test from a phone for example.

A lovely tool to have on the home net to help confirm things are working as expected.

Anything specific to say they forced others not to run? The whole bit of others dropping out and endorsing happens regularly. Happened on the R side too. Bernie didn’t get nominated because not enough people showed up to vote at the end of the day. Having dedicated fans and lots of youth energy means nothing unless the vote count says what you want when it’s over.
