They used to be pretty strict about posting links. If that's still the case, it's literally just a discussion forum discussing and promoting something illegal and not necessarily doing anything illegal. I'll wager that the judge would only sign off on information from users that Nintendo already has enough evidence against. But I guess we'll see.
That's wild that insults are a crime there, I never knew that. Quite funny back and forth, though. I laughed at how the writing got more and more chaotic haha
As for your other comment, the US also requires a judge to sign off on a warrant for raiding/searching someone's home. Some judges are more strict about it than others, and the more high profile you are, the more the judges tend to be stricter with approving them.
However, if you're in a poorer area and you're not rich, it's not unheard of for home raids to occur quite liberally. Hell, one of my old coworkers got raided a few years ago due to the police going to the wrong address (the intended house was across the street). And no, the police didn't give shit for compensation and his family couldn't afford to take it to court. He also just didn't want to deal with potential repercussions of the police harassing him afterwards since he's an immigrant (here legally, but yeah, lots of people here don't care about that...).
I don't know what to tell you, then. I've never had Firefox or chrome be that stubborn on a consistent basis. Are you using extensions? Some extensions are very poorly optimized, especially so when combined with certain websites (gotta love badly implemented JS in some places). Even if the extension is well made, they can still get overwhelmed sometimes, e.g. ublock origin on sites with very aggressive ads.
That being said, browsers are very complicated and the fact they all heavily use sandboxing now (as they rightfully should be), I guess I'm not surprised where they don't function as intended in various use cases.
Man, that might happen for a high profile family/person. For average people in many places in the US, they'll be lucky if the police even pay out to cover damages to property, nevermind anything else.
Edit: and yes, I know this is just a green text and not a real story.
It does release it back to the system. It only doesn't if you actively have a ton of windows/tabs open, in my experience. Even then, it'll cache stuff to disk after awhile. Like on my phone, I've easily had over 20 tabs open in Firefox (Android) and it doesn't suck up all of my phone's ram (which only has 12GB). If your system is running less than 16GB, then that's another matter and you really should add more, as 16GB is pretty much the baseline on computers these days.
It's only a problem if it doesn't give it up when other apps need it and there's not enough. Browsers just cache a bunch of shit in memory for speed and convenience, but they should unallocate it back to the pool if something else calls for it. The internet complaining about this for years and years are mostly doing so from a place of ignorance.
Damn, I've had so many friends and coworkers joke about selling feet pics and here she is actually doing it and making bank! That's utterly crazy that she makes more from OF than Spotify. I'm surprised Spotify/streaming subscriptions hasn't just been killed off by artists/studios if the revenue stream is that awful.
Yeah, that headline is quite misleading. For a brief moment, I thought, "Well better late than never, again, I guess..." But like you said, I should have known better than to hope for these imbeciles to have come out of their indoctrinated stupor.
Your example is too damn spot-on, haha, man I haven't seen one so brazenly fake in a couple months. Then again, I only stick to the smaller subs on Reddit whenever I do use it, so bot activity is a lot less frequent on those.
This is their government acting purely out of self-preservation. These algorithms are extremely vulnerable to state actors sowing discord within a country. China, Russia, Iran, US, Israel, etc. all conduct psyops. Shutting this tech down is a major first step in protecting your country from internal and external cyber psyops. China has been dealing with a ton of domestic problems for the last couple of years, and it's only been getting worse. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/22/china-deals-with-violence-amid-revenge-against-society-attacks
Quasi-enemies like the US can exploit social unrest and stoke the fires, making problems exponentially worse. Other countries do the same thing to the US, which is why it's blown my mind why the intelligence agencies here or even in Europe haven't pushed for similar legislation.
Anyway, regardless of the reasoning behind it, it'd be nice to see these predatory algorithms banned everywhere. I just felt the need to point out that this is very unlikely to be motivated out of some progressive idealism by the Chinese government.
Man, that movie is such a trip. I really need to rewatch it.
They might be referring to people who have it occur due to a technical problem (needing to clear their cache or something). Other than that, tons of my friends and coworkers have Premium and they've never complained of ads, so I don't think it's a normal thing that occurs frequently.
Part of the psyops to polarize our country further also includes radicalizing liberals. Thankfully, we've just been much, much slower at adopting extremist, violent views than the magats.
To be fair, they controlled both the House and the Senate in 2016, too. They didn't have the courts, yet, but they soon did. And they still barely agreed on anything.
TIL the etymology of goodbye is a contraction of "god be with you."
If kids are dumb today, millennials are on the hook for it, boomers didn't do this one.
The bulk of older teenagers/college kids are from Gen X, not so much from millennials.
We're just now doing phased roll outs of 23H2 at work, so haven't paid any attention to 24H2. What issues is it having that you've noticed?
Oh I don't mind it as much; but, for an animated movie that's somewhat geared towards a wider age demographic range, it felt a bit too long for younger viewers.
Yeah, lithium mining and processing is extremely toxic and destructive to the environment. On one hand, it's primarily limited to a smaller area, but on the other hand, is it sustainable long-term unless a highly efficient lithium recycling technology emerges? And yes, I know there are some startups that are trying to solve the recycling problem, some that are promising.
