I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.
We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.
Haven't they done it twice before? Something like 2006 and 2014?
They refused to respond to an Australian government investigation. (Because Elon fired the two people who interfaced with Australia.)
The fine is not directly because they haven't cracked down*, but because they couldn't competently answer if they're handling it at all.
(* and they've probably fired enough trust and safety people that they're also having trouble there, but that's not exactly what the fine is for.)

As a software dev, I don't think there really is a better way. One thing you could do to avoid this is to install a second drive and boot to completely different OSes. You could boot to a Linux drive for personal stuff, and only use Windows for gaming.
These gaming companies are pretty aware that they go bankrupt if they either get a reputation for abusing anti-chrst data OR are full of cheaters. They have some incentive to use data ethically. But it's still a good thing to keep an eye on.
John Oliver just did a great episode on what a scam prison healthcare is.
On the Fediverse, you can go to a different instance.
She was the one who insisted. Nobody, other than maybe her staff, was encouraging her to keep that job.
The Democratic governor appoints her replacement. Why would they encourage her to stay?
It's something like

My 7.6.0.3 won't auto update. Says there are no updates available. I'm trying a manual install.
Grand Jury issues indictments, can put you in jail until trial, and there's generally no defense or judge present. They only need probable cause.
If you can open it, they can open it. There's not much of a point if it's something you can undo.
Anti-corruption should be bipartisan.
Fucking dump him as fast as we're allowed to. We don't circle the wagons the way the GOP does.
You don't have to officially change parties to change votes.
I'm excited for the push this is gonna give Godot. Wouldn't mind it becoming the mainstream engine.
I want to argue that W’s damage was more immediate, but I keep finding arguments against that.
W might the the president most to blame for climate change. When Dems win it tends to be with a 50% + 1 majority, or close enough to it, while including senators from places like West fucking Virginia.
Republicans at any time can do bipartisan things about climate. Dems don’t have that power.
I’d say any time between 1990 and 2010 was the time where there should have absolutely been enough consensus, and close enough to last minute to actually do something. Shut down all the coal plants in the West. Embargo countries that don’t cooperate on climate. That could have been done. (And yeah, we could have absolutely shut down every coal plant in the West if we were willing.)
Then I was going to add another caveat about reading the 9/11 report. I don’t fully blame W for that. It’s a thing that would have been possible for any president to miss. But he’s the one who missed it. I don’t fully absolve him of it, either.
W’s intentions behind the Iraq war may have been for the good of us all, but the results absolutely weren’t.
The war in Afghanistan can be shared mostly between Obama and Trump. We were there for 20 years and couldn’t manage to make a safe haven. Could have built fucking walls around Kabul, built up the government only there, and let them work on expanding that control outward for the next 50 years.
I still believe Trump’s damage will be longer term. I don’t know if he’ll be able to outdo W, and he’ll never reach Reagan levels of damage. But I don’t think we’ve seen most of Trump’s damage yet.
Anything labeled “money” or “finance” or “CNBC” is like this.
Sure, there’s that. Also, sometimes I just write bad.
If there’s one issue, ever, that you should be at least a little “both sides” on, it’s this one.
There’s no way you can honestly argue only one side of this.
