About the claims that X and Starlink are separate entities and one shouldn't be affected by the other: it has since been revealed that it was Starlink who paid the salaries of X's employees.

Last presidential election here in Brazil some churches were asking their people to swap children with other couples so that those children could keep watch to ensure everybody is voting for the right candidate (children are the only ones allowed to join you in the voting booth).

My mother in law has no problem with M/M but complains about lesbians (says it's disgusting) - I then assumed homophobes are bothered more about gays of their own gender in general.

We've had enough of artificial intelligence so they're switching to artificial stupidity?

I bought the game but still played it in Yuzu instead.

From my own experience with hardware and real life in general, I imagine they probably had some equipment who they already knew was not working 100% and it was the only one to detect such missiles. I can't imagine any other reason why they wouldn't report it without risk of being labeled a traitor afterwards.

Because nobody knows for sure how much a show will be worth in the future and everyone is afraid of losing or wasting potential money.

Damn, América really is crazy. I wouldn't accept such tests and I've never even tried drugs.

I'll never forget the day I went out to the grocery store a couple blocks down and thought it was a good idea to also take the trash out.

I took the trash to the grocery store.

It'll only run on cloud. Their employer would probably block that too.

Meta was also recently ordered to pay a thousand dollars to every brazilian who can prove they were using Facebook in a specific year. Though they are still fighting back on that decision and no payment was made yet.

This will probably be changed into some fixed payment to the government instead, if not overturned completely, but it would be fun to see the whole country getting some extra paychecks for using Facebook.

On the subject of remote working being more productive or not, my anedoctal experience is that when remote working is fully embraced, the productivity skyrockets, but when it is embraced half-way it may have a negative effect.

When 2/3 of the employees are in an office, they tend to reach out to one another to discuss things and remote workers often get out of the loop. When everyone is working remotely, these discussions happen on slack channels for everyone to see. And if they are written down in a channel, folks can read it as many times as they need to ensure nothing was missed.

This may seem not to be too important, but it makes a massive difference at the end of the day. And you could try to make that happen without remote working but people will not stop walking out to someone else's cubicle for small questions when they have that option.
