It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.

Meta will face daily fines of €89,500 if it doesn’t comply with the order.

Bet they can write it off as expenses.

We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.

They do feel their existence is threatened since NATO expended to the east in 1999.

I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.

Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.

What’s illegal information?

He’s very unthreatening at least.

Reducing economical disparities will solve the so-called “racial” inequalities.
Affordable education, housing and care for all don’t necessitate discrimination, even positive.
When an university degree costs hundreds of thousands, the problem isn’t the ethnic makeup of the happy few who can afford it, it’s scarcity itself.
European state manage to fund a higher education for pretty much all of those that care to try it, it is not an impossible dream.

You do you of course.

In my mind, the main reason to avoid edulcorants (including stevia and acesulfame), is that they taste like shit.

Yesteryear’s conspiracies are today’s common truth. Getting slowly used to that one.

I say allow it if it can be opted out. Having a ‘repost’ or ‘bot’ tag, and a filter would solve it for me.

For a non meme answer. my bet would be on endocrine disruption of the thyroid, by pollutants.
Along with a change in feeding habits in former third world population (sudden access to an abundance of sugar when you’re not genetically ready for it).
And maybe compound it with unhealthy lifestyles (increasing sedentary lifestyles).

10 years limit, absolutely non transferable, limited to human beings (not abstract legal entities) .
Eventually extendable to lifetime of the creator if the work is still being developed, to prevent being usurped by copycats.

I also believe that facilitating voluntary sponsorship (a la patreon, but without letting 10% get siphoned by leeches) is preferable to selling works. Especially since distribution is now pretty much free.
