I hope everyone you know is doing okay but I don’t think Google is really flexing that the alert system didn’t work. Tech isn’t perfect but the system has worked with other earthquakes. If anything we can hope the tech gets better because this event will highlight gaps.

This. I see a lot of talk about Firefox forks on Lemmy but at the end of the day we need Mozilla to to survive for other Firefox and their forks to continue

Oh okay, I didn’t see any mention of HHI in the article but I’m glad smaller companies can still do what’s necessary (including merging) in order to compete

Sounds like they have no intention to:

And to all the armchair lawyers out there, the letter to Valve did not make any claims that we were violating a US copyright by including the Wii Common Key, as a short string of entirely random letters and numbers generated by a machine is not copyrightable under current US copyright law. If that ever changes, the world will be far too busy to think about emulation.

These guidelines are written in a way that seem like mergers shouldn’t be allowed at all. Mergers should be examined but it sometimes benefits both the public and the companies involved when two smaller companies are combined to go against a market dominator.

If you don’t want to trust Wagner (and I don’t blame you) this part of the article has another relevant fact:

U.S. intelligence said in February that Wagner had at that point suffered 30,000 casualties in Ukraine, including 9,000 deaths.

The general consensus is ublock origin. It’s best on Firefox and I’ve had no issues with it

Does anyone know what exactly happens next if they pass this map? The supreme court wrote that at least two districts need to be majority black but if Alabama ignores this what next steps can be taken considering the Supreme Court is supposed to be…you know supreme

Money is one thing. The speed of production is another

I hope you know the small population of people doing this are considered scum by the rest of India and even if you meant it as a joke it sucks to categorize a country filled with many kinds of people as scammers.

I’m not saying I agree with using these either but I heard on TV that the reason cluster munitions were being provided is because those are readily available and the weapons needed by Ukraine can’t be met without them at this time.

Also an unpopular opinion but I actually don’t mind paying for YouTube Premium to avoid the ads. Content creators get a bigger cut from my watching habits and it comes with a music streaming platform.

We are in piracy community though so it makes sense people are against paying for content that once upon a time was completely free.
