Do you keep the game if you get the "Deluxe Upgrade" on GamePass? Or do you have to keep paying the subscription if you want to play?

They're just voting for the only party who pretends to care about them.

Democrats have spent almost no energy on making rural voters feel included.

If you saw everything you've ever known decay into the shambles of globalization, then some orange guy comes and starts yelling about how he's going to fight for your way of life, while the other guy is talking to the people who have been shaming you for decades, who do you think you'd vote for?

If we want a better future, we're going to have to get over all this hatred towards our neighbors. Waving your hands around a map and saying "fuck allll these (rural) people" isn't going to work anymore, because China/Russia know exactly how to exploit that hate.

If they used SMS those records are still around.

Or did they use something else?

I mean, illegal online transactions are like the one place where crypto really shines.

Eh, I would support blocks on that. [Porn]

Okay, so lets build all the infrastructure and technology to block porn in the most effective way possible.

And I pinky winky promise to never use that technology to silence my political opponents.

Just think of the children.

That is legitimately a problem.

For some reason, YouTube's algorithm heavily favors extremist content if you show even a casual interest in related material.

It's probably as simple as "shocking content gets more clicks", but still, it's not good for our society to have entertainment platforms recommending extremist views.

In the old days, you'd have to seek out this kind of fringe content on your own. And you'd get pushback from your community if you started talking nonsense.

Nowadays, my aunt is getting blasted with reptilian democrat stuff after showing an interest in typical conservative lady content years ago. And there is not much of a community left to help her out. The algorithms just amplify all the worst shit.

I don’t remember details but essentially it was decided (in some court, somewhere, i guess) that linking to illegally copied material was also illegal.

This proposed change has been discussed in congress, but big tech is fighting it hard, as it would make moderation of social media very expensive and/or restrictive. Basically, certain parties want to hold platforms legally responsible for the content they host, even if that content was posted by users.

It would make it nearly impossible to legally operate a FOSS platform like Lemmy. Fortunately for us, it's one of the few areas where the interests align for both big tech and the common man.

IRC the new loophole became encoding the link to what ever you wanted to copy, for example as base64.

Base64 encoding is not a legal loophole, it's a method to avoid automated content filters on platforms like Reddit and Discord. Encoding a link in base64 offers no legal protections.

Woah, those go from expensive to absurd.

I could see charging like 1000 rupees to deter frivolous complaints, but up to $500,000 is absurd.

Seems like the system is only meant for B2B complaints. B2B antitrust complaints where the offended party still has enough money to drop half a million USD on an antitrust complaint.

I'm honestly surprised that people are so partisan, instead of saying "fuck them all, we want change!"

It's 2023 and people are rooting their entire identity based on their political party. It's madness.

I get your analogy.

But are there situations where ABS is less effective than a standard braking system?

The revenue calculations likely take gold into account.

At least the real rev/user would.
