In the US economy, they were lying the other way around, companies wanted to force mass layoffs after the great resignation.

After it happened, Biden was lying that it was not happening tho. Also, the US is not at war right now.

Worst I did was a few dozen radiology departments

I’ll be saving this next time I need to give myself a pep talk.

“At least you haven’t taken down an entire cloud provider today!”

Network Solutions is just took down DigitalOcean

Lol what?

JS is system agnostic, doesn’t require compilation or multiple dependency binaries, as opposed to say Python.

Can you expand on that? How does JS have less requirements than Python?

Obvious advertisement is obvious advertisement.

I looked it up, might try it, it gives off the faintest Morrowind vibes.

I was thinking of getting it, what’s up with Stalker 2?

I don’t know about the GoTY thing, this year has not been that great with games.

I’d go with either Satisfactory or Slay the Princess, despite neither of them being real 2024 releases, they both got their most recent actually complete edition released this year, and they are better than anything else I’ve seen that was actually released this year.

Maybe MSFS 2024, but it’s niche and also, fuck MSFT.

Best game I bought myself this year is Hearts of Iron 4.

I know it’s insidious. This shit sandwich has so many layers by design that it’s easy to misinform even courts, much less people with limited time or willingness to talk about these things.

Google has agreements with the manufacturers that prevent or heavily disincentivize the manufacturers from doing that, otherwise they essentially can’t use Android.

It’s all Google.

Looks like around 130000 HUF to me, so around 320 EUR and falling steadily.

Straight out of Unauthorized Bread from Doctorow

I don’t doubt something shitty is going to happen, but that would still be better, since Google would have to pay for fucking up the internet instead of doing it for free like now. And on the other hand, wouldn’t Google have to pay more than its competition combined for exclusivity?

Imagine Google pays Chrome 1 million schmeckles for exclusivity, if Microsoft and Amazon would show up saying they would also pay 1-1 million just for access, then Google would realistically need to pay at least 2 million for it to still make sense for Chrome. Something that used to be free for Google now is something that they need to outbid their whole competition for.

I’d imagine if Chrome was split, all the integrations would either have to be opened to other companies, imagine “log in to Chrome with your Microsoft account”, or would have to go away.

At least Google wouldn’t be able to treat web standards as their own playground any more, so other browsers could compete better.

Could you expand on that? Why couldn’t Chrome exist like Firefox does?

Oh, it’s not just gaming

The DMA has no bearing on disinfo, it’s about access, like mandating a public API to federate with or banning self-preferencing with other products.

The disinfo thing is regulated by the DSA - Digital Services Act, and it very much applies to Twitter.

There’s like 5 governments doing full dragnet surveillance in the world, wonder if one can send an interesting enough dickpic to warrant a UNSC joint session

It’s very dry and boring legalese, but look up the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

TL;DR: Biden signed a law last year letting EU courts enforce GDPR fines in US courts. It never happens because companies are not stupid and defend themselves in the EU courts.

It’s a recent edition of a string of increasingly privacy-favouring legislation attempts by the US to placate the EU about the rights of its citizens being respected abroad. The gist of it is that it is a US federal law signed into force by Biden last year, which makes it so that EU citizens have legal standing in US courts to enforce EU GDPR court decisions. There is not a lot of precedent yet, but that’s part of the point.

It precludes companies from using the loophole of not having any EU presence to evade fines and rules. Companies can and almost always exempt themselves from this by having an EU entity and subjecting themselves to GDPR directly, since if they get you through this, the EU court will already have tried and found against you, and the US federal court has little room to get you off the hook, because if they do, they risk Big Tech bottom lines by endangering EU-US data transfers.

You are right. I should not comment on stuff after driving for a day straight. Thanks for correcting the record.

You should also know that hosting a service in the US without explicitly denying service to Europeans, and not abiding by the GDPR makes you liable to criminal prosecution in the US. US federal law has a version of GDPR that does not protect US citizens, just EU ones.
