You got it.

Sadly, catchy slogans don’t hold up in court. Better to buy from distributors who don’t try to make that claim, like GOG - even if they won’t put Nine Sols on the store to avoid offending many gamers.

Pretty much sounds like it. Microsoft also made them pull back their shenanigans, if I remember correctly.

An experimental plane to help develop a future hybrid still another experimental phase away that will still be limited to regional travel due to autonomy issues. Still pretty awesome, but still some time away.

Ninja running with bomb vests, what devil has been unleashed.

Begs the question why a lot of your society idealizes the mechanisms that give rise to those Sociopathic Oligarchs. They didn’t spring out of nowhere. Elon Musk is not anyone special. Trump isn’t anyone special. It’s not a just switch the dial problem, it’s a deeply rooted institutional one that will either churn out mild oligarchs at best or wannabe fascists at worst. Trump thrives on an exaggeration of an identity that does exist for a lot of Americans.

Your current system will never do that, and you’ve trained yourself to believe the only viable solution that is widely accepted throughout the world, secession, makes you a slave supporter. There are some states that would start putting them in prison for their crimes, but which ironically enough will never be allowed to by the same gaslighters that want to praise the original secessionists.

So what was it, was the war against secession a war against slavery, or was it a war to maintain American Hegemony for the oligarchs that could see beyond their slave farms and who ended up coining the modern day corporation? Because if it was to fight slavery, gotta tell you, the EU allowed the UK to leave without a problem and without weakening their regulations for private interests.

The problem is the corruption at the level where accepting or not matters. There’s always corruption, but competing interests can help dissipate organized attempts at it.

It’s following more of an OAuth model in the EU rather than give private-company-selling-your-data-off-to-Palantir model.

It boggles my mind why Americans and the UK would accept this.

Wait, no it doesn’t.

Don’t just saw down flock surveillance cameras. Repurpose those solar panels so they can do some good.

They basically block off Cloudflare while there is a game going on.

It’s basically at the thought-crime level of threatening, although a bit more real. More importantly, it’s an excuse industries that are threatened can lock on to so they don’t have to worry about low cost alternatives. A metal rod and some gunpowder = ghoster gun.

A1, where it’s always April Fools’.

The only thing that makes the EU bureaucracy seem like it’s functional are competing national interests. When all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments to allow this sort of bull, it doesn’t even matter that the US is directly issuing threats against the EU, only just what corrupt long time career politicians can get out of it.

Where’s Lavos when you need it.

I’m sorry, I cannot understand your comment.

Does a good parent place restrictions on what their child can and can’t do? Yes. The thing about bad parents is that they are notoriously irresponsible. They would be the least likely to utilize such a feature.

You are talking about going against a cartel of oligopolies that have locked down the technology sector with the IP they control and who have cutthroat control over where the latest technology is deployed. What we at home can do is playact “It’s back to the 90s!” and go back to the technology we had several decades ago, which is more viable than it sounds.

If they want to act like cartels with the greatest and latest, nothing is forcing people to use it. Unfortunately, the technological divide will still be there. Tech minimalism, go human, recycle old tech, we have a lot of crap we’ve disposed off over the years that would otherwise still run fine. To create competition, there needs to be the breeding grounds for it, and if that means having to do with what the lunar lander did, then do so and exercise that brain in the process too.

Devil’s advocate, is it really that bad for someone who is a parent to be able to easily zone of their Linux distro for their children? And yeah, I get there are a number of methods to do this like locking down accounts, but something like this would have the potential of automating whom the rules apply to.

The data set and the algorithm are still there, it’s just not available to the public anymore. I wonder who will still get access to it. This just seems to follow the general trend of oligarchs encouraging startups to do anything and everything to disrupt an industry, go as far as they can, and then pull them out through any pressure, government or corporate, as they try to scavenge what they want.

Besides that, there’s still alternatives alive, local or otherwise, and I doubt the people who were using Sora are suddenly going to stop without trying to search for alternatives first. People are celebrating after just chopping off the first head of the hydra.
