Don't worry folks, if we all stop using plastic straws and take 30 second showers, we'll be able to offset 5% of the carbon emissions this AI has!

It was a manual review conducted by an actual person that in the end admitted they were wrong

Don't these pans last like generations, being passed down? I doubt your grandma and her grandma were bothering to apply 8 coats of flaxseed oil and heating it up to 1000 degrees and the pans would still perform as expected for ages

If every single person that uses adblock decided to move to Firefox because of MV3, it wouldn't make a single dent in Chromium's dominance. We vastly overstate the amount of people that even know what an adblocker is.

In Brazil, the officer just uses their own phone to scan a validation QR on the ID app, at no point your phone leaves your hand and in a few seconds the officer has what they need. Shouldn't this be the case in the EU? AFAIK the officers only take your physical ID to check the number, so if you're using the app they shouldn't need to confirm that as the info is already validated

That is definitely how it works unless IANA creates an exception for the .io TLD and keeps it alive.

If you read this article you would know that these are quotes from the Half Life 20 year anniversary documentary released a few weeks ago.

They're a small indie company and they need the server power to run the AI in Firefox

The xitter lawyers claim that there was no bank account indicated anywhere so they "had to guess" and are demanding xitter to be unlock as they paid the fine.

In other words, either they're grossly incompetent and can't read, or they're playing malicious by trying to abuse some loophole or anything to ultimately not pay the fine

EDIT: For some clarification, there is no information publicly available as to where the lawyers sent the money to, only that it wasn't the account linked to this fine, and that the lawyers are demanding the service to be restored because they claim the fine was paid, but the correct account hasn't received the money, so the fine is not paid. Alexandre de Moraes has asked Caixa Economica Federal (one of the government banks and the only one that deals with this kind of thing) to "fix" this issue so the attorney's general office can analyse the process and decide on restoring xitter's service. Elon Musk, X and the law firm representing them in Brazil are in absolutely no position to contest, much less demand, anything from the supreme court or the attorney's general office. Their actions have shown time and time again that they have no intention to play fair and regularise the issues, and they'll try what they can to create instability, animosity and general distrust against Brazil's judicial system.

The information regarding payment details for fines is ALWAYS clearly detailed on every notice, there is 0 chance that they forgot to include it or they've made a mistake and added a different account.

The more I read into this the more it looks like the law firm is being malicious instead of stupid, they're trying all that they can to not pay this fine (on behalf of X & Co.) and also create instability/animosity against the supreme court, specially considering what Musk has done and been doing for this whole case.

So people in the USA are just now finding out how pretty much every other messaging app behaves

I've been hearing pessimism like this for over 20 years and yet all I can see is that piracy is always increasing and becoming even more accessible

Creating ads that are even more targeted to you so you can forget about everything and buy that electric kitchen knife you just saw scrolling reddit

Man you right wingers are a very annoying bunch, always claiming censorship and loss of democracy while applauding the actual wannabe dictators doing gold medal deserving mental gymnastics to justify antidemocratic actions

!usa for an alternative to !news

This makes me internationally angry

Honestly, at this point, they deserve every single bad thing that happens to them.

Unfortunately those bad things will also trickle down for the rest of the world and I'm so tired of that

For the "just turn it off" folk, you know what's even better than that? Not having ads at all in the first place.

"An overwatch looking moba shooter"

No, it plays like Battleborn and Monday Night Combat, a third person shooter with moba elements. It's not overwatch, it's not Dota.

You pirate games because Steam opens a window?

EDIT: Seems you're starting to resort to cheap attacks on me because you got downvoted

The reason people are mad with this is because Proton's longstanding services are lacking basic features for months and years already with no update in sight, and in less than a month after a (now) controversial poll, Proton introduces AI and crypto wallet in their portfolio.

But there's no way to prevent this, according to the only nation where this frequently happens.
