~~Ask~~Reddit is over run by bots.
FTFY
Hanes stole tens of thousands from a local church, then a local investor club, and finally his daughter's college fund, NBC News reported. Then when all those wells dried up, he started stealing bank funds
Wow, what a PoS
Lmao, yeah.... You can make a can so secured a bear definitely won't get in; but will people go to the effort to use it then?
Definitely some overlap there.
Some products — like devices powered by combustion engines, medical equipment, farming equipment, HVAC equipment, video game consoles, and energy storage systems — are excluded from Oregon’s rules entirely.
It's interesting to me that Game Consoles get an exception... Not sure whats up there, other than straight up ~~bribery~~ lobbying.
HVAC makes sense when you consider environmental concerns (some refrigerants are really terrible pollutants).
Medical equipment, particularly equipment in public health care should be held to high standards. Authorized, properly trained repair; peoples lives depend on it.
Energy storage when attached to public infrastructure (you back-feeding the grid) can be a saftey concern for workers and the supply/load needs to be balanced to prevent damaging that infrastructure and other private equipment attached to it. Not sure preventing repair is the right move here; you can still buy and install new without oversight. Perhaps it's again a saftey concern (for the person performing repair).
Vehicles, farming or otherwise, I'm on the fence about; there's an argument to be made for public saftey/roadworthness, but I'm not sure that's enough of an argument to prevent home-repair. Again seems more to do with lobbying than anything else.
They do receive takedown notices, however files uploaded to usenet are mirrored across many providers across many jurisdictions while also split into many parts as you noted. Usenets implementation of file sharing is quite robust; being able to rebuild a file that's missing a significant portion of it's data. To successfully take down a file, you need to remove many of these parts across almost all of the usenet backbones which requires cooperation across many nations/jurisdictions that are governed by varying laws. It's not an easy task.
Here's a somewhat limited map of usenet providers:
What do you mean fears are growing??
He's openly and repeatedly said he's going to be a dictator. Literally his plan right from day one.
If anything, fears are growing that America will just lay down and accept this.
Look, I agree his works shouldn't be destroyed, just not monetizable.
But the dude poked a bear with a sharp stick... Suing the creators of the story/characters you've built your content on for copyright infringement? Brilliant move....
So staff requested the board take action, then those same staff threatened to quit because the board took action?
That doesn't add up.
If Lemmy was CCP, this image would be removed in a hurry:
The military doesn't like airspace violations much...
Doesn't really matter which country.
An example (text obfuscated as it's irrelevant):
The entire area of this screenshot except the white text, post time, and space immediately between those two; opens one of the hyperlinks. (ie: all of the empty space to the right of the green links, all the way up to the edge of the screen, as well as the green text itself)
I wouldn't expect or want empty space to open links, particularly if I'm trying to minimize/collapse a comment with questionable links in it.
Well that's mildly horrifying... May as well not even have 2fa. Especially with no failed auth attempt notifications (well, no notifications at all really; I hate this part of lemmy)
Glad I don't have/keep anything private here.
