My perspective is that people in the USA are more likely to THREATEN to sue, which a lot of the time is an empty threat, and a lot harder to quantify

I don’t know if they still do, but Facebook used to count viewing a web page with a Facebook “like” button as being an active user

Twitter has always been “small” but popular with people who work in the media, so you hear it mentioned on the same level as Facebook by those people, even though it’s never been any where near the same size

No, no, this is why I walk around naked. If they’re going to be spying on me, I want to make them suffer

Agreed, the biggest issue with the WiiU was the marketing

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.

I used to work in a supermarket in the UK about 20 years ago. The store is not legally required to sell anything to anyone (as long as it’s not because they are discriminating against a protected characteristic), so the workaround for the store was to say that the item was no longer for sale and to remove it from the shop floor (presumably fixing the labeling, then putting the stock back out)

The only person who has true freedom of speech on Twitter is Elon Musk. If he doesn’t like something you say (for example apparently he doesn’t like the term ‘Cisgender’), he can ban you

I have owned this for many years, thanks to Humble Bundle, but have never played it. I should give it a go

Damn. As a long time Gmail user, I used to be very happy with the spam protection and would never have an issue with it. In the past couple of years though I’ve started receiving multiple spam messages in my inbox per week (and occasionally legit emails in spam)

With this, the rate limiting and privacy implications, it’s driving me away from a service I used to love

Disney finally lost something to the public domain.

I’m not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)

On the other hand you have insecure humans who make stuff up to pretend that they know what you are talking about

I’m currently on Lineage on a Pixel 7, I’m tempted to give Graphene a go though.

As I had issues with one banking app on Lineage, I expect I’ll have problems with that one and possibly more if I make the change

I’m currently using Feedly. I subscribe to news outlets that I trust, and just read what I’m interested in there
