It sounds like this ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?

Another reason to avoid Google. Try Startpage, Duckduckgo or another search engine.

Depending on the context, this may or may not be a false dichotomy.

If considering the act of voting in an election in a country with a two party system, each with a different shade of neoliberalism, then there are two choices realistically, and picking the lesser evil is a decent moral choice.

If considering other countries or primaries where there are more than two options polling above 2%, then it’d be a false dichotomy.

Fossil fuel are getting progressively harder to produce, since easily accessible oil and gas fields were the first to be exploited, and are (soon to be) depleted, leaving hard to reach ones. So they’re getting more expensive even without taxing them.

Renewable sources are getting progressively cheaper.

The EU is planning to enforce CBAM soon, and other may follow and tax import from country that have 0 carbon tax.

So even if they’re not motivated for dumb political reasons, they’re going to feel more and more financial pressure.

The years is 2025, and the USA is betting on early 20th century energy sources.

Guess what happens next.

I setup brave on my relative’s iOS device because it has anti-tracking builtin. But would welcome suggestions of iOS browsers that preserve privacy.

If Apple didn’t effectively prevent browser extensions I would setup Firefox with privacy badger, and uBlock origin with an anti-malware list.

A non-zero number of employees scripted random daily prompts to maintain LLM usage stars.

Doomscrolling can decrease the motivation to act, contribute to anxiety and analysis paralysis.

Banning communities can be helpful to avoid those that fuel doomscrolling rather than action.

They’re not assholes. If this is the work of the federal gouvernment then they’re just following the law.

A work of the United States government is defined by the United States copyright law, as “a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties”.[1] Under section 105 of the Copyright Act of 1976,[2] such works are not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law and are therefore in the public domain.

Looking forward to read an article announcing the actual release with verified information.

Publishing rumors when the actual annnouncement is hours away seems pointless. It’s not something time sensitive.

Creating a temp folder does not allow to read aloud articles using TTS. That’s the only reason why I use Pocket. I don’t use it to manage bookmarrks.

10 to 100 Times less reliable than WiFi

The Android app has a decent read-aloud feature. Hope it will still works after the service closes. I don’t use it for article discovery, nor for sync.

It’s sad.

Adoption rate does matter. HEIC currently has a 13.99% adoption, and WebP has a 95.92% adoption rate in web browsers.

So when considering support in softwate, it’s more reasonable to pick WebP as default, rather than HEIC.

There are of course other considerations, like compression efficiency, format features, patents, …

Seached and found that the European Union published an explanation for its vote on a similar draft submitted by 2022 by Russia.

EU Explanation of Vote – UN General Assembly: Draft Resolution on Combating glorification of Nazism

This both explain the EU’s rationale for not voting Russia’s draft, and explicitly condemn Niazism

The European Union is unequivocal in its commitment to the global fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, anti-semitism and related intolerance. Our joint fight against contemporary forms of all extremist and totalitarian ideologies, including neo-Nazism, must be a joint priority for the whole international community.

Thanks for the context.

Given Russia submitted the text, and given how european countries voted, I suspect this is mostly about Russia looking for justifications for attacking a neighbour and grabbing land.

Defending Nazism or showing Nazi symbols is illegal in Germany. Holocaust denial is illegal in several european countries. Yet they abstained.

They’d probably vote for such a text if it came from another country that doesn’t “undermine genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism”

I’m carefully spending my money by buying less games, mostly DRM-free indie games.

It’s an objective improvement over EMV which doesn’t protect privacy at all.

Taler protect payer privacy while exposing income information. Meaning it can help collect taxes to pay for infrastructure, education, public service, …

That’s a fine compromise. I hope Taler become a practical alternative to EMV and other shitty payment systems being pushed by banks.
