Bill Maher is pretty damn conservative tbh

If the government slaps a 25% increase on the price of your imports then you expect a 25% increase on the price (assuming you’re selling imports directly - like PC parts).

It’s not rocket surgery.

I’m convinced he doesn’t need any of that, and if he decides to publish another game he can damn well take his time doing so.

He doesn’t owe you shit - he doesn’t need the money - he’s doing this because he loves to make games.

Why the fuck would you impose bureaucracy onto free creative expression? Just for your own selfish enjoyment?

Shame on you

The proactive part is when they shut your account down and report it to the cops but yeah, the cooperating with interpol by providing data that they claimed they didn’t keep is damning.

They’ve been cooperating with law enforcement and handing data to the cops proactively since 2021.

Pay attention.

The writing was on the wall for proton for a while now

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

I mean the arguments themselves were fairly cogent, all things considered. The prosecution got grilled pretty damn hard too.

Good thing they had the budget

When the two sides did reach an agreement in November, that money was moved over to the fire department’s pot, according to Mr. Blumenfield’s office, meaning this year’s fire budget is actually $53 million more than last year.

Weird way to cut a budget

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

Because it wasn’t defunded you fell for bullshit.

Even more funnily it’s bullshit. People lie on the Internet

It’s not true - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/la-fire-department-budget-bass.html

The budget was increased by 53 million.

Unwashed eggs have a much shorter shelf life before the salmonella gets through the porous shell.

The EU sells unrefrigerated eggs because they’re fresher - they spoil significantly faster than American eggs.

EU health and obesity rates have way more to do with urbanism than diet and health outcomes compared to the USA is such a useless comparison. America’s trying to kill you off the moment you get sick. Pay or die: yeah no wonder it’s such a shit show.

And the EU allows food that we don’t in ours, like Cyclamate. Raw milk and unwashed eggs are all perfectly legal too.

They’re not perfect.
