Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call “innovation” and “smart”.

But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.

We invent the memory of choosing, about a quarter of a second after we’ve primed our muscles to carry out the choice.

Where can I read more about this?

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

This is the correct answer.

Edit /etc/hosts and add

127.0.0.1 example.com

so when you type example.com into the address bar it goes to 127.0.0.1.

I’m kinda dense, what’s the “only one reason for appointing an NSA director to your board”?

Ah yes, the old “laws don’t work so let’s get rid of them” argument.

And there were people on here saying that licensing your comments CC was stupid…

Crypto is a growing concern for a lot of people

What do you mean?

It kind of is:

Usually The Onion is prescient but…

What’s funny is that that’s a description of MEV.

gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victim

I skipped “fraudulent” because neither MEV bots nor this attack can be called fraudulent imo, although MEV is definitely taking value one didn’t help create.

Let them eat MEV bot operators.

So it’s a justified genocide then?

This is a good question but I would just like to point out that 15 years ago nobody would have predicted that the questions we were asking and answering on stackoverflow would be used to train models (and that open source would have it’s license violated so brazenly) and that if you tried to delete your contributions because you didn’t want them to be used to train models you would get banned from the site, so even though adding a license to your comments might be meaningless, it might also be a powerful tool down the line. You never know how it’ll go.

allowing the scraping and evading X’s own anti-scraping technology.

I wonder why evading anti-scraping technology is not treated like bypassing DRM or the DMCAs anti-circumvention rules.

Lol yea, but do you see the contradiction between

In those 75 years, many Israeli people were born on this land, and it really is their home.

and a state being established through the ethnic cleansing of Palestine? Israel spends a lot of money on PR to whitewash that.

So you’re saying that Israel has no right to exist?

Since the offer for a free personal subscription to Ubuntu Pro when doing apt update. That’s the terminal equivalent of going to a microbrewery and seeing they only sell $8 IPAs.

“Israel has not shared complete information to verify whether U.S. defense articles covered under NSM-20 were specifically used in actions that have been alleged as violations of IHL or IHRL in Gaza, or in the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the period of the report,” it said.

Because of that, the administration said it still finds credible Israel’s assurances that it is using U.S. weapons in accordance with international law.

The perpetrator didn’t tell us what happened so we find their written assurance of innocence still valid.

That’s the UN charter, not the UN partition plan for mandatory Palestine. Israel was established through military aggression, which is what Russia is currently trying to do in Ukraine.
