The auto industry already had a 30-day exemption from tariffs.

More than 120! I couldn’t make it through 5. No idea how people can listen to him talk.

Many actions are targeted at red states. But sometimes the weapons you have are the weapons you have.

And, really, whatever US internal politics are, this is an act of war by the US against Canada. I think few will lose sleep about making any American bleed right now. Hopefully it wakes those blue states up to start really taking action.

Sorry for messing around with this post. Lemmy.world has a weird bug(?) where posts with CBC articles won’t federate. Had to trick it.

Most frozen assets, by far, reside in Europe ($217 billion (€201 billion) to $230 billion (€210 billion)), with the United States holding just a small portion ($5 billion (€4.5 billion)) and Japan also holding some.

This is just initial reaction to an announcement. The tariffs aren’t even implemented yet.

I wonder how close we are to Trump declaring that “no one knew” how complicated the economy is…

For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix

Economic death to America!

Strategic retreat… Cajun style.

The services are Firefox but also optional services you can opt-in to (like account sync). It’s about giving feedback to them under the subheading “Your Feedback and Suggestions.” Generalizing from that to “all your ideas anywhere on the internet” is bananas. They also explicitly say in the previous clause that they don’t own that content:

It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

Oh man, I can’t wait for these unhinged takes to run their course.

I’m not a lawyer, but my naive reading of the clause

Well there’s your problem.

Mozilla (in legalese): if you submit feedback, we don’t owe you money or authorship credit

100%! It’s definitely a great thing given the current circumstances.

Qu’est ce que fuck!

Yes, I would want a source saying that Ukraine chose to cancel the other events and leave the White House.

But it seems like you misinterpreted the article to mean they were ordered to leave on-camera. It happened well after the media availability.

That’s kind of mixed news. Seized Russian assets were supposed to fund Ukrainian reconstruction. It’s sort of robbing future-Ukraine to pay present day-Ukraine. Overall though, still way better than no weapons, obviously.

I haven’t seen that reported anywhere. Source?

My original claim was that, in addition to gedaliyah’s points, the TOS gives them permission to perform basic browser tasks. My last comment was about the same thing. The TOS is relevant because 1) it’s the basis of this entire discussion and 2) the changes in the TOS conclusively prove my original claim.

As to “data collection” in this context, those words do not appear in the TOS and are not rights Mozilla is asserting for use of their software. It’s a fiction you invented. That was the point of me pointing out the use of the word “use” – describing that term and distinguishing its meaning from the thing you made up.
