I wouldn’t say he’s getting away cleanly, every article on this heavily mentions Kraft being the one behind the pressure to drop Macklemore from the tour…

But short of another Mangioni, there’s very little anyone can do to hurt Kraft in a meaningful way.

Even if the backlash from this outright irreversibly ended his career and robbed him of every holding he has, which it won’t, he’d still have his generational wealth to tide him over till the day he died.

Ironically it looks like Ed Sheeran will be the one standing alone at this rate

Honestly this:

“Criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace; love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.”

There’s no masking the state that Israel left Gaza, they tore the place to the ground, and the Israeli “defense” force has committed outright war-crimes against Palestinians.

If this were any other group of people, any other religious group, nobody would be questioning what Israel are doing as being a Genocide. But because Israel is a Jewish state, everyone’s afraid to call the spade a spade.

If Pink agrees with calling an anti-genocide movement anti-Israeli propaganda, then I’m afraid that says more about her views on this genocide than her words can for her. Because if she truly wasn’t okay with the Genocide, she’d be joining Macklemore as an ally, not criticising him over how he chose to spread the message for the world to see.

Short answer: No

Long answer: Officially they will, but they’ll continue behind closed doors - as will all their competition.

The chance to stop this globally came and went when we were all laughing about Will Smith eating spaghetti. All these companies are far too invested in this to stop now even if their founders actually wanted them to.

Genuinely. It’s getting to the point where the “reasonable” person is being claimed as a mind-reading super-lawyer who knows exactly when they’re being lied to.

Rather than the actual average person who takes these companies at their word, assuming that they wouldn’t just blatantly lie to their customers.

Which these companies seem to think makes their customers stupid, rather than them being manipulative pieces of shit that take advantage of people who just want to play some videogames in peace.

Sony: No reasonable person would take all those times we explicitly said you own your purchased games to mean they explicitly own all of their purchased games

Literally everyone else:

The words Bacon and Epic can’t be put side by side without mentioning EpicMealTime.

Man singlehandedly kept that fad alive way longer than it ever should have been. I wonder what they’re up to nowadays?

Nevermind the financial cost. He’s literally offering to bribe the public in broad daylight, an impeachable offense under article 2 section 4 of the US constitution:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

There’s no interpretation of this section that can make Trump soliciting votes by way of bribery not an impeachable offense… But he’ll get away with it again because his cronies in Congress will refuse to impeach him.

Who better than

Grand. But unless its enforced, then we’re back to Trump’s little loophole of “who’s gonna stop me?”

The US Supreme Court already went as far as to make him immune to the consequences of anything he does that could have even a pubic hair’s chance of being labeled an official act - so genuinely, what actually stops him defying this order?

Here I thought it was cause you have the luxury of paying rent on them

Twitter, which Musk bought in 2022 and merged with SpaceX earlier in February.

Hold on a second, SpaceX owns X/Twitter??

I thought Elon owned that privately, but the fact that he parasitised his monetary black hole of a purchase onto his most successful company really just shows how fucking stupid Musk actually is.

Though I really shouldn’t be surprised as his other monetary black hole venture, xAI, is also parasitised onto SpaceX.

For the last couple of builds, people have been reporting DISM breaking with error 0x800f0915 (essentially it can’t find a valid repair source). Which they still haven’t fixed despite it being known about.

Yeah true enough. Even if the data they’ve got was 100% accurate and easy to prove in court, they’d still be stuck having to pay out the arse for lawyers just to appear in court.

In today’s episode of “Why I refuse to use Windows 11 on my personal machines” - Microsoft breaks personalisation, again, and still haven’t fixed DISM.

Microsoft are doing a brilliant advertisement against their own operating system by breaking it almost every other update. Maybe if they had actual humans doing the job, or at least the QC, things wouldn’t keep breaking on production.

Yeah, it would be nice to have an actual list so we’re not reliant on their numbers alone. But unfortunately telling only half the story is something Proton seems to do quite a lot.

On the bright side, the actual privacy data for this was by Proton’s own admission from Exodus, so while its probably not feasible for you to skim 65K apps on your own, you can at least see the data for specific VPN apps you might be worried about.

Yeah… As an outsider its odd seeing almost every check and balance on his power get stripped away because those in charge of said checks and balances not only refuse to hold him to account, but seem to even aid in making him unaccountable!

Turns out lack of regulation is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, the quality of pirate sites varies wildly - with some being virus infested hellholes.

On the other hand, there’s no legal bullshit to get in the way of them providing their service. Their competition can’t easily just cut them off from content.

And because they’re operating privately rather than publically, they’re incentivised to operate sustainably rather than chase quarterly profits - which oftentimes benefits their “customers”

I mean it’s nice to have someone who actually knew Zuckerberg say the quiet part out-loud, but anyone who surprised to hear this must’ve been living under a rock for the last decade.

Corporations have never cared about the children. In other countries, the same corps that preach about caring for children have them working as slaves in factories. Don’t think for a second that they care.

In my eyes anyone wearing one of these is a pervert. I simply don’t see who else could be the audience for a purposefully discreet camera built into a pair of glasses. Even Google’s attempt at glasses were more overt that these. I’d say Meta is shameful, but that’s not exactly a shocker to anyone at this point.

Edit: Seen a few suggestions, but my counterpoint to all of them is - you don’t need the camera to discreet fir any of these purposes. You’d only need it to be discreet if you didn’t want people to realise you were filming, which just seems aimed towards perverts in my mind.
