Having lived out of the US for two years, returning is a shock to the system with the size and exhaust volume of the vehicles on the road. I am skeptical that these changes can get through the gauntlet of lobbyists, however.
Back in the 1980's they told me it'd trickle down.
...eventually.
coinciding with what would have been Trump’s 78th birthday.
If he isn't dead, it's still his birthday. Come to think of it, even if he's dead.
Making me hope he died...
The joke's on you, malware devs! I never use Discord, and never did on my Linux machines.
Shouldn't have [checks notes] exercised their rights.
Dumb.
"We are too corrupt to draft meaningful privacy legislation, but watch as we pretend CCP is the real problem."
Performative BS
You just haven't met anyone like my partner. She pauses movies and TV to point out how my neck "is sexier" than the actor's. "Yours isn't little and thin like his."
"Thanks!"
She is definitely obsessed. Maybe not a fetish, but certainly a point of interest.
News broke on this a few months ago, and I jumped ship. Their failed music app is another reason I ditched their ecosystem. Kept crashing; music would pause mid-song; couldn't play downloaded music offline without a data connection.
Video service had such poor title coverage and nothing compelling for the price. As many others have said, the value proposition didn't work. Enshittification is in full swing. Sail the high seas.
The music industry welcomed the development, stating that a service that helps infringers evade prosecution through anonymization also acts illegally.
But a service that artificially inflates revenues with shady accounting of song plays while simultaneously withholding payments toward creators, that's totally not criminal.
-Also the music industry
Copyright laws based in the eighteenth century sure are awesome when applying analog scarcity to the digital world! /s

“It’s irresponsible for the Department, and a disservice to its officers and to the people of the city of New York for the NYPD to claim it needs more than 60 days to review every case it receives from CCRB,” said the Rev. Fred Davie, who chaired the oversight board until two years ago. “Simply ignoring substantiated incidents of misconduct is truly untenable and indefensible.”
The CCRB did have a history of handling cases slowly, but that was due in large part to the NYPD withholding evidence from civilian investigators, a 2020 investigation by ProPublica found.
After police shot and killed a Bronx man in his own apartment in 2019, the department refused to share the body-camera footage with the oversight board for more than a year and a half. The delay prevented the CCRB from filing charges against the officers within the statute of limitations. (The department has since pledged to hand over body-camera footage within 90 days of a request from the board.)
This year, Caban announced that he would not impose any discipline in the killing. He approved an NYPD judge’s ruling that the oversight board had acted too late.
“The CCRB is not perfect, but its goal is clearly accountability,” said Chris Dunn, legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. “The NYPD clearly does not have that goal. When a problem arises, the department’s default solution is to kill the case.”
