  • Muskrats: "Why would anyone think they can drive in the rain?"

  • I actually am not super familiar with the case

    And yet you're happy to lecture us on the appropriateness of the outcome. Interesting.

  • North Koreans are using fake IDs and learning IT skills to sneak their way into remote American jobs, according to the FBI and Justice departments.

    CEOs on Monday be like: "Okay we need everyone to return to the office full time... It's for national security."

  • After listening to all of the Knowledge Fight podcast's 70+ hours worth of coverage of both cases (including multiple interviews with the plaintiffs lawyers)... I don't believe for a minute that Alex Jones' lawyers are competent enough to attempt a devious strategy.

  • and suggested he may sue the law school for unspecified reasons.

    "Yeah but you bet your ass if I went to law school I'd be able to think of a reason!!!1!" - Brandon Prichard pretend Esq.

  • "The Democrats have gone too far! If we introduced term limits for the Supreme Court then Clarence Thomas might have to pay for his own vacations one day!" - Fox News

  • Gaetz is a fucking drunk that had his daddy make his DUI problems go away. I can't say I'm surprised he relates everything to beer.

  • Update: Brave plans to address the issue in a future release. The VPN service will only be installed after a user purchases the VPN.

    "Oh gee whiz did we do that?! Woopsie doodle! We'll fix it someday!"

    Furthermore, no data is sent to Brave from the VPN services. End

    This might be true but the bigger problem is I have exactly zero reason to believe anything Brave says about the things they're installing on people's machines without consent. If you're still using Brave at this point you're a fool.

  • I mean. Supposedly.

    But then again, cable is dead for a reason.

    Yes, and the reason cable is dead is specifically because streaming offered a more affordable, convenient, and ad-free option. Now that it's pretty much the only legal game in town and every greedy fuck out there is trying to start their own streaming service the cablefication is well underway. You think the c-suite types give a single fuck about the long-term viability of their services? lol no. They're here for short term profits. They'll be carried off into the sunset by their golden parachute while you're paying $45/mo to watch commericals on Netflix.

  • but I have to wonder how much of this is ultimately tax payers paying for the stuff power companies should have been doing for decades.

    The answer is $3.5 billion.

  • Spot on. I expect within five or six years most streaming services will have priced ad-free plans out of the average person's budget and then they'll drop them entirely, citing a lack of consumer demand. There's way more money to be made through cablefication.

  • Oooh yeah that'd explain it. I had 'user instance' labeling disabled in my app. It's cool that mastodon users can explore and interact with lemmy and all but jeez does the implementation suck.

  • "A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution," Clooney told Hollywood publication Deadline

    Look, this is a super swell offer but George Clooney shouldn't be bailing major studios out of their obligations. They can afford to settle the strike all on their own they just choose not to. Frankly, I think George should stop trying to score points for his generosity and grab a picket sign and make himself useful. He isn't the problem but he's not the fucking solution either.

  • I didn't say there weren't alternatives. I said Elon and the Saudi's achieved their goal of crippling the biggest. I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, eh?
