Difference is that those Egyptian obelisks were not built in modern day Italy by the Egyptians, but the Roman pottery district was built in modern day Germany by the Romans
A lot of the obelisks in European cities were stolen from Egypt
Pretty sure the "right to be forgotten" already exists legally in a couple of places.
Google doesn't provide an easy dashboard to request link deletion, but they do have to comply in places like the EU and UK (if I recall correctly)
They don't care whether you call it Facebook or Meta.
All they care about is that enough people were talking about the name change, so that they were distracted from the real controversy (which is the "Facebook Papers" revalations)
You can plug a USB hub into your phone. That'd give you more ports.
I'm fairly certain there are hubs out there with a pass-through for charging as well
I'm not convinced that running a Kickstarter for a product named Abode, with a (mockup) styling that is designed to look like the Adobe Suite, can somehow be argued not to be selling a product on the back of the Adobe brand.
Even if he changes the branding before release of the final product, that doesn't change that he used branding increadibly similar to Adobe's in order to sell his product which is going to compete with Adobe.
Patents relate to new inventions and/or ideas, and they eventually expire
Trademark relates to the brand image of a company, and that does not expire
The issue I see is not so much that Abode is aiming to make an Adobe Suite competitor, but rather that they are so purposefully mimicking the brand and image of Adobe in doing that. I think it is likely that the courts will rule this to be blatant trademark infringement
Personally, as a member of the community, I just go with LGBT+ or LGBTQ+ (or in my own language LHBTI+)
You can keep specifying further and futher, but the acronym just becomes so unwieldy that noone knows what you are talking about anymore.
Have you tried clearing your browser's cache (if the browser allows it you can just clear the cache for your lemmy instance)
That seemed to solve the issue on my end.
I remember looking into it at the time and deciding against downgrading. I'm not entirely sure why.
I think it was because of the lack of background playback in the mobile app? 🤔
(Bit expensive for such a tiny feature, but I digress..)
That hasn't stopped me from using other Google services like Gmail, Docs, or Drive either.
If I ever decide I want to opt out of Google's ecosystem I'll just serve them a GDPR data deletion request.
That's what I did when I deleted my Twitter account as well.
Have you ever heard of Poe's law?
