I'd go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It's wrong when the U.S. do it, it's wrong when Canada does, it's wrong when China does it.
I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.
Someone in the dorm I lived in had a Ford Ranger. Even though it's one of Ford's smaller pickups, it looked very oversized compared to everything else in the parking garage.
Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.
I wouldn't even say that. Even if they had a truly unique LLM that ran partially locally with a custom co-processor, Android might still have been a good choice. It's just hard to beat an open source base that's already compatible with most mobile hardware, and relatively easy to find Devs for.
June 22 (Reuters) - Reuters denied on Saturday that it had reported that Israel would attack Lebanon within 48 hours, after reports circulated on social media citing the news agency as saying this....
I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they're certainly a pillar of it.
Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.
I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn't really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.
I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don't have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won't happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up....
I've seen what a splintered carbon arrow can do, and for a very short moment I thought the image was actually showing something like that. Still sucks, though.
In December 2019, astronomers were surprised to observe a long-quiet galaxy, 300 million light-years away, suddenly come alive, emitting ultraviolet, optical, and infrared light into space. Far from quieting down again, by February of this year, the galaxy had begun emitting X-ray light; it is becoming more active. Astronomers...

What Stream support have sent that person is probably an accurate representation of what happens when you apply their policies as written. Write another article if they are seen enforcing it.
Luckily, SteamDRM is usually easy to bypass, so if that happens one could prepare accordingly.
Yeah, my point was, if they do try to enforce their policies, we could probably find a way to work around it. It's probably cheaper and easier than for your heirs to test those digital inheritance laws in court.
I personally don't value them differently, but I see your point.
The wonky ownership of these games is actually the reason I've been pretty much exclusively buying stuff on GoG for a few years. I don't know their stance on inheritance, but at least the hypothetical grandchild won't need perpetual access to the account to keep playing the games.
In the end, clear legislation is kinda the only thing that can resolve this mess.

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...
That does make sense, I guess. I forget that most people aren't hardcore privacy nuts sometimes. I'm currently on a OnePlus with a custom rom, which'll probably be good for a few more years, but the only new phone I'd consider at the moment would be a pixel with Graphene.
but I don't see why a one plus should be any better than Xiaomi
It likely isn't. I just got it very cheap some years back, and don't see a good reason to replace it while it still works.
a random ROM with possible unknown interference should be safer/better regarding privacy
You could always have bad actors, of course, but these Roms tend to be mostly open source community projects, so the incentive structure leading to bad behaviour seems less clear to me, and such behaviour would theoretically be more detectable (how much anyone actually audits the code in practice is another question, of course.) In the end, running any Software you haven't written yourself involves a certain amount of trust.

I don't really see the harm in that, if someone wants to erp an ai, they'll find a way. If I remember correctly, OpenAI already isn't all that rigorous with banning people who break the ToS in that way.
737-300, so not a new plane. Don't think this has much to do with the current Boeing problems. Probably maintenance issues at the charter firm, or pilot error.
Well, Telegram seems to be giving user data to the German Federal Criminal Police Office, and if they're cooperating with the German authorities, I don't see why I'd presume they aren't cooperating with others as well.
All this is actually documented, compared to those nebulous "important people".
Well, it kinda does. If you choose to print your keys, you can use print to file and safe them to the encrypted drive, if you really want to for some reason.
It has been many years since I've used an OS without full disk encryption, so I can't really compare, but I have a Windows Partition for some proprietary software that doesn't like Wine on my PC, and it is really smooth. Might be because it's on a NVME SSD, though.
Reuters has something like that too, called Reuters Plus. It's less blatant, and isn't pushed in with their proper content, but I find paid articles by purportedly quality outlets extremely questionable in anyway.
