It’s the go-to strategy for fossil fuel companies to stay in the market as long as possible

They know it’s not possible, they don’t want to build new ones but the discussion alone is slowing down renewables and makes it less likely that the current fossil power plants can be shut down soon.

Also just look how hard it is to find spots for renewables

Surely there will be no NIMBYs preventing atomic power plants and storage spaces for the used material from being built…

What do you think?

Meta also allegedly modified settings “so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur,”

If this wasn’t enough of a wakeupcall to not put all the eggs in one basket then what is? Companies are literally doing this to lock you into their service so it’s harder to switch since you then have to find X new services instead of just one.

Better go with one that’d specialized for each service you need…

I think it’s possible to have her somehow take back that magic in a desperate situation, or to have her go through the trial for some reason, too (she always was kind of interested, but Geralt didn’t allow it)

I mean Geralt died in the books and is somehow alive for the games. A lot of stuff can happen and be explained in a way that fits with the lore good enough to spin a story around it

I bet the people complaining with “what about the lore” have a big overlap with the people that wanted Ciri to be a love interest in W3…

Shiftphone is a good alternative but it’s also on the more pricey site.

You could get lucky and get a used one for cheap? Since the battery can be replaced and is usually the only part needing regular replacements every couple of years you should be fine?

Yeah I’d argue it was the most precisely targeted attack possible on such a scale.

But of course - since it’s Israel people use every angle possible to criticise it.

Or a kgb agent in the hotel room next to someone that just fell out of the window

You can create rules based on the content of the notification to group different notifications together as one, to delay them, to change the ringtone or to dismiss them all together.

You can also automatically click a button inside of a notification if certain requirements you define are met, you can stop the same app to send many notifications within a set amount of time (like when someone is writing a lot in a WhatsApp group then you only get one notification per minute for that group)

It’s way more than just focus mode

Buzzkill! Perfect to remove distracting notifications during work hours or to not see some notifications altogether

I just saw the Uber case and realized that this in definitely way differently in the US. I was not aware that completely getting around the law was such a common practice. I thought that Disney thing was a rarity

How often are you reading about someone suing and then that lawsuit (which is already in court) being dropped because they got a better offer for an arbitration/settlement out of court? For me that’s a very common thing to read for bigger cases.

But I agree that forced arbitration with not even a chance to take it to court if you don’t like the offer is horrible for the consumer

Arbitration doesn’t save money. You still need lawyers.

of course - but usually it’s way faster than getting a proper court-ruling - and since lawyers are paid per hour that makes a big difference

Isn’t it often in both parties to settle things out of court? For the one that’d sue it’s usually more money at less cost and the company gets around possibly having a bad precedent set and the bad publicity to potentially losing in court.

This is probably aimed at people creating issues in the hopes of getting a settlement for something that has a slim (but Nonzero) chance to hold up in court.

It’s a company - I think this aims at people only bringing serious claims and reducing the paperwork for them - but since it’s Valve people will glorify everything they do

That guy legitimately made his hobby into his job.

There’s 0 reasons for him to still keep updating the game with as much content as he’s doing except for his own satisfaction. Truly the best developer a game can have

I mean AMD heavily relies on Taiwan being independent to even be the company they are. If China takes over most people in power and all the shareholders are fucked - so in this instance it actually makes sense even from a company standpoint to do malicious compliance

Illegal immigration surging? The numbers are lower than any of the previous years? I’d consider thinking about which echo-chambers I’m part of in your place if that’s really the main issue you’re worried about right now…

*unless you’re working for public infrastructure, service industry, cultural industry, energy production, some parts of transportation or some parts of manufacturing where you can’t shut down a plant for a single day.

There are so many exceptions to that law I’m really wondering how much difference it would really make it supermarkets and regular shift works would also continue on the weekends - just with the standard 5 days workweek still applying and having to pay a bit bonus for working on Sundays, the same way the other jobs are also getting paid more for Sunday work

And the conservatives attack them on every front because of how much they stir up things - it’s so sad how well that propaganda works…
