People complain about the evil of landlords, but it's nothing compared to companies like this.
Landlords at least nominally provide some sort of ongoing services. There are no necessary services a font company could possibly provide - there's no maintenance, no upkeep, no ongoing costs at all. This is just pure, and purely evil, rent-seeking.
Working as intended.
Age verification laws aren't about porn and never were. They're about instituting systems by which governments can restrict individuals' access to internet content that is not in itself illegal, and that they just don't want people to be able to see.
For some reason, he seems extra butthurt about getting caught lying this time.
Setting aside the veritable TITAN-loads of shady shit Palsntir is up to, it's also worth noting that Reddit's policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model, so I'd assume that not only is Palantir using it for that purpose, but that they are far from alone.
I'd love to play poker against him.
Reminder that Trump isn't carrying out an autocratic coup d'etat in the US by himself.
He has the active support and assistance of the Republican party and their politicians at every step of the way.
Trump is Pol Pot. The Republican party is the Khmer Rouge.
No surprise there - Republicans have hated Wikipedia pretty much from the start, since they require valid attribution and constantly fact check, which means the Republicans can't spin their lies.
Fatima Hassouna died with nine members of her family in a direct strike on their home in Gaza City on Wednesday.
She didn't just "die" - she was murdered.
There's only one word fit to describe this and the people responsible for it - they are evil. It really is just that simple.
I think it says everything that needs to be said that the left's reaction to disputes is to protest and maybe set some cars on fire, and the right's reaction is to (try to) kill people.
Ah... this is such a perfectly Trump story. The Onion couldn't have done a better job of it.
The fate of the western world has been placed in the hands of a man who's the emotional equivalent of a four-year-old competing for daddy's attention.
So... Trump voters?
There's a shit event horizon.
There's always a certain amount of shit-quality posting, but when the conmunity is relatively small, the shitty posters are on their own against a group that doesn't like them, so they can't make a really strong or long-lasting inpression.
But as the community grows, the number of shitty posters also grows, and it reaches a point at which there are enough of them encouraging each other that the opposition no longer matters. And then fairly quickly, the quality posters will say "Fuck this - this forum sucks," and go somewhere else.
And the shitty posters are all rhati left.
