It’s not genius, that’s how political dynasties work. It’s why having entire families in politics usually leads to terrible outcomes.

It is a war crime as defined by the International Court. You don’t have to be in a formal war to commit a war crime.

Doesn’t matter. It’s a war crime either way.

Abusers always try to hide in plain sight. The type of abuse doesn’t matter. And they try to surround themselves in a cloak of protection from what they are.

It’s the same thing fascists do, wrap themselves in the flag and “protect” from the “others”, projecting power through violence, as a threat.

There’s definitely something else, this is just a convenient reason to point to. Might not even be a legitimate relationship, just something made up to save face for whatever even worse thing is the truth.

If that part of the 14th doesn’t apply, then logically none of the people in the former Confederate states are US Citizens.

Pretty sure they don’t want that.

It still has to be passed before it can make it’s way through the courts to strike it down. And then it depends on the clearly partisan judges in Texas.

This is one of the few games I keep installed and jump back to just as a chill game that requires no intense planning or strategy. The mechanics are simple, well executed, and easy to pick back up after not playing for a while. So many games have tons of complex mechanics that are fine when you’re playing it, but hard to remember if you haven’t touched it in a while.

You mean the censorship law was woefully ill-conceived and won’t do anything they claim it is supposed to do? Leay it’s definitely a joke, just not the type you’re asking about.

Are we finally getting the Musk v. Zuckerberg fight we were promised so long ago?

“It is illegal for us to recommend using services like a VPN to bypass these limits. We do recommend you ask your government why they don’t want you to know about these services or have access to free educational content”.

To put that into perspective, Tucson Electric Power has a generating capacity of 3,101MW. So at 600MW, that facility alone would be nearly 20% of their current capacity.

They’re buying 2 of them. Not exactly bailing anything out.

Easy, replace all the CEOs at every company. Those are the connections. The computers can talk to each other to collaborate much faster than us mere humans. Tll

There’s no possible bad scenario from this whatsoever.

Potentially more effective overall given how so many CEO decisions seem to result in terrible outcomes because they don’t actually understand their product. Usually because they were hired into the company and industry, and have no actual experience with their product or how the company works.

It is intentionally vague, because companies want to be able to weasel out of any and all accountability whenever possible.

But Mastercard isn’t off the hook either way even if we accept the rules as they are currently. Before this incident, Mastercard has been starting to censor adult content in general with rules changes. To the point where there was already a petition on the ACLU site about this exact type of censorship.

Mastercard is trying to weasel their way out of this particular instance because they didn’t directly have a hand in this video game situation, even though they clearly would agree with it based on other recent changes. They’re trying to play both sides by assuming that people didn’t know they were already doing these things.

Like everything else now, they no longer check any of that directly. It’s all handled via Play Integrity API. If the device fails the Play Integrity check it will fail.

What I see is Mastercard hiding behind their generic rules for processors and being fine with the processors taking unilateral action that could damage their brand.

Mastercard should demand they rescind the decision based on a flawed interpretation of their rules since the content IS NOT ILLEGAL where Steam provides it, or drop those processors entirely due to the brand damage their unilateral decision has caused. If Mastercard lets this sit, that signals that they agree with this decision, regardless of what they say, and they should be treated as such.

That’s what I was thinking, but reading the article it’s apparently not related to sending messages. It’s simpler.

Google blocks RCS on rooted devices. And at the moment they don’t tell the user that at all, it just fails to work. So actively the worst way to handle it.
