That statement doesn't really make sense. Especially in this case, the website is a business and a store. A government definitely has the right to take legal action against a physical store operating within it's jurisdiction, so why would the same not hold true for an electronic one?

I wasn't talking about good AdSense in this case, just the page you are redirected to if you are coming from one of their marked VPN IP addresses. Unless this has changed since the last time I attempted to go to Reddit with a VPN on. But that's the behavior I've witnessed.

Not a code change at all, just a filtering of the traffic from particular ip's and forwarding it to a different page which is all that reddit is doing as well.

When Chrome came out it was fairly light on resource usage and speedy because of that. Firefox was a resource hog at this time. Chrome now is a show resource hog and Firefox is much peppier overall in my opinion.

I think he's just asking for a properly documented Pull Request in order to process your thoughts.

Ah man good times there. I just had classic wow running on my steam deck, hooked up to a custom server. So much fun and surprisingly playable and good since the deck has enough buttons to map everything to.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Most new Linux users if not all, are unable to make an educated decision on package management. The UI that they think they will like better would be more important.

Federated doesn't mean open.

Yes I would say that the brain bleeding is probably a physical installation issue, not frying the brain.

I think though you're reading more into my comments than are there. I've not said I'm for getting a chip in my brain nor anyone else's, including the primates. My comment was around the point that if you are going to argue or fight something, you need to be honest on how you do it. Your clear emotional response to this is keeping you from seeing that. Over sensationalizing or misrepresenting the facts doesn't help your stance. The truth here is that they really messed up at least a couple of times with the physical installation of the chips, that led to a degradation in the quality of life of the test subjects and eventually death. But not anything that would be like "frying" someone's brain. And that, those facts alone should give one pause before signing up for anything like this. Especially when you consider, no matter who or what company pursues this, this is bound to happen. Any new hardware or software fails during at least development let alone post release so it's not surprising at all these results occurred, considering what they are doing. I'd imagine if this chip functions as it should, the only people that would consider it, currently at least, would be those without any other option and their quality of life is already dismal due to their health issues.

No your misuse of the phrase does. If a person suffers a physical brain injury, as dramatic for instance as a metal rod getting shot into their brain leaving them disabled, you don't say their brain was fried. It's used primarily to describe chemical issues with the brain, such as a person who used a bit too many drugs and their brain is now impaired because of it. The primates in the article suffered issues caused by the physical installation of the chip, not from the functioning of the chip. Therefore not fried.

I don't think it's about nitpicking it's about being honest.

Oh haha, yeah that makes more sense

Nobody wants to do that

HOL?

Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn't make it a charitable organization that doesn't get taxed.
