Right, but .ml doesn't stand for Marxist-Leninist is the thrust of what I'm saying.

.ml is actually Mali's TLD. That it happens to also be an initialism for Marxism-Leninism is a coincidence.

You need to stop thinking laws are inviolable writ handed down from God. We're all playing a game of shared make believe where the rules are only strong as the collective will to enforce them. That will doesn't appear to be sufficient so he can likely do what he wants.

The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It's worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

The mistake was thinking that paid, proprietary software fundamentally = more functionality.

I gave up on finishing those books years ago. It's been long enough I hardly remember what happened in the last one and the next one isn't even on the horizon as far as I can tell. It's not happening.

Now if they could just take this lesson and apply it to the rest of the 'information' that is supplied by the media environment they have immersed themselves in.

The nightshade family also gives us a lot of important vegetables. Potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers being the most common but others as well.

One reason why Musk bought Twitter this week is because he had little choice. The world’s richest man spent months trying to back out of the $44 billion purchase agreement he originally signed in April. But the uncertainty was so disruptive to Twitter’s business that it sued him in the Delaware Court of Chancery to force the deal’s completion, and a judge gave a Friday deadline to complete the deal or face a November trial that Musk was likely to lose.

This is all bullshit. Self-aggrandizing lies to give the appearance that this massive failure was all in the plan. The guy was trying to play games with stocks and got caught. He's a dumbass with no idea how the business he didn't want to own but was forced to buy in the end works. It's not deeper than that.

I'm sure his daughter hating him is very upsetting but it's not why he set 40 billion dollars on fire.

Oh no! Businesses whose 'innovation' is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.

It feels like a threshold has been crossed. Reddit related content is there but not so dominating as before. People are memeing other things, news and politics discussion is popping up, particularly popular posts from more niche communities as well, it feels like a much more healthy mix of content now compared to the beginning of July and especially compared to when I joined during the reddit blackout.
