I think there’s a bit of a sea change in business generally where arbitration ended up being worse for corporations if too many customers/employees used that option because it meant paying a bunch of money for each case instead of dealing with one class action suit.
While the arbitration courts themselves are generally biased to corporate interests, it’s not enough of a thumb on the scale to make up for the huge downside.
He backed down when Brazil blocked him. If Apple and Google decided to threaten to delist Twitter, he’ll back down.
Yeah, that was a cash cow for a few years and now everybody has their phone on vibrate.
Maybe to connect to their update servers and validate updated binaries or something like that? Not sure if it supported calling home to get updates.
I mean, it’s the smart thing to do (even from a purely selfish perspective where you want to make sure the project continues to go into the development direction that keeps making you money), but it’s not something that’s actionable in court or anything like that.
There’s no expectation to contribute back when you use FOSS software, that makes no sense. I’m running Linux on like 10 devices and I’ve never merged anything in the kernel.
Yeah, but the trick is to form that crater away from your launchpad.
Maybe Russian hackers got into Boeing’s servers and copied their plans.
It’s just ridiculous the stuff you see that should be easy to catch with basic server checks (even if you were to run them after the fact). Players conjuring money and vehicles out of thin air, moving impossibly fast, vehicles/players with seemingly unlimited hit points, etc. You could easily catch that shit on the server side and ban the cheaters, but instead they go for the most invasive client side shit.
Sure, if you want to stamp out stuff like aim bots and whatever eventually you’ll need to look at the client side of things, but in a decade they didn’t seem to do anything at all.
Eh, I was playing it on steam deck, GTA online was just not worth it with all the cheating anyway.
What I don’t get is why they went with the most invasive kernel level stuff instead of doing even the most basic server side checks to check for users doing physically impossible stuff.
Yeah, I’m actually supportive of some kind of anti cheat on GTA online, because with all the cheating it’s just unplayable. Unfortunately I was playing on steam deck so I haven’t been able to play it since. Presumably it can be supported relatively easy so I hope they fix that issue.
Yeah, I have the same issue with WhatsApp. I have a group with my wife and parents that my parents just called myfirstname/wifefirstname, which makes no sense to us (on our end we’d like to call it ‘jonne’s parents’ or whatever).
Same with any other group chat we’d like to start that includes a tradie or whatever.
I’m sure it’s fun for your average plumber to have 50 different group chats with clients that are all called ‘plumber’.
Steam itself doesn’t run the games, right? Couldn’t they easily build a small 32 bit launcher for the older games that need it?

Not sure if it’s compatible with your particular lock, but I’ve got switchbot stuff integrated into home assistant without issue (using their hub).
They really only care about maintaining the Empire that uses tax payer money to funnel trillions into a handful corporations (Exxon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, …). Trump risks destroying this profitable system through incompetence and because he is easily bribed/blackmailed by some countries that are competitors (while alienating allies).
And this criticism of ‘the greens only show up every 4 years’ is in bad faith. The greens run in other elections as well, you just only hear about the presidential elections because that’s the only time they get some media attention.
This list has a bunch of school board members, city councillors, even a mayor on it. They do run in local elections, and even win sometimes.
I’m assuming they just send you a zip file with an ‘existing codebase’ where somewhere in a hidden dependency a bit of code does something nefarious when you first run the project. You don’t even need root access to do something bad, your whole home directory is interesting enough as it is (emails, SSH keys, saved browser passwords, etc).
Not everyone is going to do a coding test in a separate account or in a VM.
Earnings is different from profits.
Isn’t that basically the point of the extension? Making sure you’re not tricked into watching BS content?
Yeah, seems like all of it was basically already known, so I don’t see why X banned him over this. Especially after Musk making a big deal about Twitter throttling the Hunter Biden laptop story.
