And how do they make their money?

Because hosting shit yourself isn’t free, and most people aren’t up for taking financial losses for their projects.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace.

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.

Yeah but they’re called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.

Well in the unlikely event that he did turn up at Nuremberg, he’d be hanged just like the top ranking Nazi officials were.

But if Hitler was captured, there’s a slim-to-none chance he’s living to even see that trial, much less attend it.

It’s not though. The question makes the assumption that he would have been handed over for the Nuremberg trials.

But the Soviets were fucking ruthless against Nazi Germany. They were REALLY driven by hatred for them. If a Nazi soldier surrendered to Russians, a summary bullet to the head was often the more merciful outcome.

And it was the Russians that would have found Hitler first, so it’s far more likely that they would:

1. execute him on-the-spot
2. torture him until death
3. have their own trial for him in Russia before torture/execution.

Android’s Do Not Disturb feature is also like this. You only get notifications from calls, alarms and apps you specifically allow.

This is generally how IPOs work out. Same happened with ARM.

You could build a mobile/watch app that communicates to a self hosted server when the device gets unlocked. if you don’t get that signal at least once over a week, trigger the switch.

There is no confirmation that this came from Nintendo, nor does it list the actual infringing parts like a normal takedown request should.

PC games. Too much of a worry about malware for that nonsense.

And other countries are relevant to Mango Mussolini being responsible for the pandemic related economic damage in America how precisely? Surely you are not attempting to move the goal posts?

No, more like you are once again failing to read and understand.

My entire point, which I have already literally spelled out, is that while Trump was indeed an utter failure in leadership for pretty much all of his presidency, never mind during COVID, GDP is a shit metric to prove Trump’s ineffectiveness in the COVID pandemic, precisely because other countries that did prepare also had their GDP tank, albeit as a direct result of those measures. You can literally see that much on the graph in the thumbnail of this fucking post.

That is why I suggested using the number of dead from COVID, which is something the US had in alarming fucking numbers for a first world country, directly because of Trump’s fuckery.

When you learn to accept your blatant attempt to excuse the utter disaster that 45 was is in fact obvious, perhaps you’ll get mocked less.

I am literally fucking agreeing with you that Trump’s presidency was an utter disaster. I have literally spelled that much out. Time and time again. You are picking a fight where none exists.

Fucking. Read. Before. Responding

The US had virtually no one staying home. That is a myth.

I wasn’t talking about the US. I was talking about other countries. I literally said as much:

The main preventative measure for most countries was stay at home orders for all except essential workers.

The spread was the result of failed 45 policy, period.

Never argued against this.

When you quite carrying water for the failed response, perhaps you can be taken seriously on other points.

When you learn to actually read the posts you respond to, perhaps you can be taken seriously at all.

Then give them a URL link to a good instance.

Do you really expect Threads to provide a fair, uncompromised experience of the Fediverse when it’s actively against their interests to do so?

And most of those were the result of not having any prevention.

Not true. The main preventative measure for most countries was stay at home orders for all except essential workers. Working from home wasn’t much of a thing back then, so most places were absolutely caught with their pants down. Stay at home orders were unprecedented and completely unplanned for, most managers considered them unthinkable.

This is NOT me saying those orders were anything except the right thing to do, but it did completely zero the productivity of entire industries.

Those orders saved lives. And that is the metric we should be using. But since those particular numbers aren’t really knowable, we can instead use number of dead instead.

Human life is more important than the economy, and I will always lambast Trump for his decision making during this critical time.

Right now, sure. Will that always be the case?
