I bet Apple has an arbitration clause in your ToS on that as well. Pretty much every company where you agree to a ToS does.

With whom did CNET maintain a top tier reputation until 2020? It's been a shell of itself for well over a decade at this point. That they've gone to full throated AI content seems to me the corpse standing up and shuffling around as a zombie.

Yes I'm aware that the history of this entire conflict began on October 7, 2023. Absolutely nothing bad had ever happened there before that. It was sunshine and rainbows and the Israelis and Palestinians lived in peace as brothers.

Spending millions of dollars of relief aid for the millions billions of dollars of genocidal actions they funded that caused for a need for relief aid in the first place.

Supposedly this isn't doing any warning or asking to fall back. The messages just fail silently. I'd root and use the play integrity hider magisk module.

Google also won't roll out RCS to Google Voice. They're just as shit as everyone else.

I have a feeling they're going to find that there is immunity for acts taken as part of official duties. Which will get this kicked back down to the district court where the judge would rule these accusations have nothing to do with acts taken in his official capacity.

The issue is that this all takes time and the schedule was tight enough beforehand. I doubt there's a chance any trial is settled before the election, especially if the Supreme Court waits until the end of the term to rule on this.

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a service where people can do simple tasks for small amounts of money. Usually things you would expect to be automated, especially in this day and age. I did it for a bit about a decade or so ago. Things like small amounts of proofreading, transcription, etc.

The name is a reference to a hoax device made in the late 1700s that was supposedly a chess playing automaton. In actuality it was operated by a person hiding within. It was nicknamed the Mechanical Turk because it had a model of the head and torso of a person dressed in Ottoman robes, etc.

The machine consisted of a life-sized model of a human head and torso, with a black beard and grey eyes,[6] and dressed in Ottoman robes and a turban—"the traditional costume", according to journalist and author Tom Standage, "of an oriental sorcerer". Its left arm held a long Ottoman smoking pipe while at rest, while its right lay on the top of a large cabinet

So, I mean, as a reference to the historical device perhaps not racist but the origin of the name is probably kinda racist.

Actually I think there's a substantial chance that the court will allow immunity for only official acts. That's really the only question before them, because the trial judge didn't rule on whether or not these were official acts, only that there's no immunity whatsoever.

If they do it'll get kicked back down to the district court where the judge will quite obviously say these were not official acts. Then that will be appealed. It'll go nowhere but will waste time. Unless SCOTUS rules immediately after the oral arguments it'll be pushed past the election for sure. It likely will anyway tbh.

I don't think she will do either of those things. She's shown time and time again she's for every horrible GOP position that Trump is for. The only problems she seems to have are that he's a vindictive loudmouth.

The argument is over official acts because of the ruling of the District Court. The judge very specifically didn't rule on whether or not these were official acts but ruled that there's no immunity even for official acts. So in this case right now before the Supreme Court that's all they're going to evaluate. They spell it out in the grant of the writ of certiorari.

I think there's a substantial chance that there will be immunity for official acts. But that's also why I think it's fairly obvious that once it gets back to the District Court the judge will find these aren't official acts. It's just unfortunately going to burn up more time to get there.

So technically the only question before the court is if a President has immunity for official acts.

So I have a feeling what's going to happen is SCOTUS is going to wait until June/July and rule Presidents have immunity for only official acts and kick this back to the District Court. The District Court will then most likely rule these weren't official acts so there's no immunity. This is a question of law so Trump will immediately appeal buying more delay. At this point it's absolutely not going to make it to trial before election day.

So it all comes down to A) Biden wins and the cases go on to trial -- most likely Trump is convicted of something at least. B) Trump wins and either pardons himself or otherwise ends the prosecutions and it's never decided one way or the other whether these were unofficial acts.

So this gets complicated but essentially the question before them is whether he has immunity for official acts, as the trial judge decided he did not.

My guess is the court will wait until the last day of their term, in July, to decide that he does have immunity for official acts. Then it'll get sent back to the trial judge who will fairly obviously rule that these were not official acts. Then Trump's attorneys get a couple more months of delay while they appeal it up the chain losing. This easily pushes his federal cases beyond the election.

After the election, depending on the results, this will 1) all be settled and he will face trial or 2) he becomes President and self pardons or otherwise kills the prosecutions.

Oral arguments for this aren't scheduled until late April.

No oral arguments until late April. This looks like cover for a delay that will push trial past the election.

If you're one of these affected authors you should register the copyright for your work if you can afford to and try to find a copyright attorney. Copyright infringement carries statutory damages per infringement so you could get a substantial judgement.

I follow a lot of copyright law stuff and general law stuff on YouTube. So he comes up in that kind of news every so often. It helps that a friend of mine was a party that was shaken down by those Prenda Law attorneys. Basically, you torrented porn, settle for $3-5k now or we drag your name through the mud. Only it turns out they were doing a lot of fraud as well as the extortion.

But anyway he's a Federal District Court judge so he's appointed though. And my state is one where the judges aren't elected either so I don't really follow that or have any resources.
