Because the media uncritically parrots the companies PR talking points and then it’s suddenly the accepted terminology.

Sir, this is a retirement home congress. They might break a hip.

This seems like satire, but it also sounds true.

It is vital that the peasants consumers use our AI to keep the Lords’ Shareholders’ happy.

The way I read it you don’'t have to be out for more than 48 hours. It’s really not phrased very clearly though.

If you cannot claim other exemptions because you have not been out of the country for at least 48 hours, you may still bring back $200 worth of items free of duty and tax.

Ah yes, the coloring on protestors’ signs, this is worse than a president wearing a tan suit. I’m so triggered.

Lots of these streams don’t show the commercials and instead just have blank airspace when the commercials are airing. But I don’t know if that applies to the superbowl streams though since some people like to watch those commercials.

Just speculating, but maybe it does something like where it checks the image against a CSAM database or something similar, so only images flagged in some government database get blurred.

Edit: or more likely it’s still in the testing stage and has to be enabled either by google or through some obscure setting.

It works that way for electric cars. You won’t find many BYD electric cars in the US, yet they are the top-selling battery electric vehicle manufacturer worldwide. Only thing stopping them from doing the same with this, is that it’s a tensy bit tougher to gatekeep information than a car.

I’d guess it’s because of the shape of the car structure. In a pickup bed the blast goes up. But if it was in a car or suv all the energy would go horizontally out the windows since there’s a roof stopping it from going up.

Discourse is a forum software. Maybe you are mixing it up with something else like disqus?

what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

Discourse is a clean open source forum software that is commonly used for application support and well suited for it.

Or if your a real die hard for the fediverse, you could set up a lemmy instance for application support. There’s even a phpBB frontend for an oldschool forum look and feel for it.

Usually everyday people don’t setup forums, that’s the responsibility of the application owner(s) or provider. In this case, the easy option is also the shitty option if measured by discoverability of the content.

Uh … Yes. Everyone has an innate survival instinct. Sure in what seems like a shitty situation, life might feel hopeless temporarily, but I’d bet you’ll eventually adapt and get over the initial shock. I’m not sure what you mean by proper, but to me it seems like proper is just shorthand for what is profitable, useful, or easy to people with power.

IMO trying to make execution humane is kinda pointless. It is really just done to ease the guilt of those who participate and watch in it. If you participate in killing someone, you should feel guilty. That applies equally no matter if your carrying out a state-sanctioned murder or a street murder.

Reminder that FBI was behind COINTELPRO, the organized attack on basically any left wing org in the country. And they continue to use very similar tactics to this day.

I did just for you. Hope that makes you feel better.

Relevant Section under Gift economies:

The expansion of the Internet has witnessed a resurgence of the gift economy, especially in the technology sector. Engineers, scientists, and software developers create open-source software projects. The Linux kernel and the GNU operating system are prototypical examples of the gift economy’s prominence in the technology sector and its active role in using permissive free software and copyleft licenses, which allow free reuse of software and knowledge.

Essentially the line of thought is that open source software is an example of mutual aid and the gift economy.

Gulp. … Can yu ear nw?

I struggle to see how spock is the source of catboys. Anyone care to explain?

Look up the Oracle cloud free tier. Combine that with an desec.io for DNS service and you are good to go.
