"The name “Zoox” is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“

Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, “hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up.”

Everything everyone today says or thinks is plagiarized… Move along already, it don’t matter none. What does matter is how it, whatever it is, either benefits society or hurts it.

Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.

Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

Either way, nobody was hurt.

But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

I don’t know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.

Certainly comparable… Less instances of murder, less direct impact on accused social justice offenders, more impact on fellow victims of accused social justice offender.

Likely not as well thought out action, more emotional reaction.

Certainly comparable.

I have DuckDuckGo set as default everywhere (with all the AI n such turned off), and I only revert back to Google sometimes when shopping or doing deep research. It still just does some things better, but it’s worth avoiding if you don’t need it.

99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers…

Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.

And so so much more.

It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.

I use a battery pump too, but have a manual in my trunk for backup. Never had any luck pouring a gas can–at least not since the 90s. The new fancy spouts make things worse! Plus those large cans are a bit heavy and awkward, especially when you have a wrist or back injury.

Fund tranfering should be a gov service provided at cost and maintained as a partnership between nations to make commerce easy for their citizens.

Profit shouldn’t even be a concern.

She should just donate all the profits going forward, and focus on making sure anything on the platform is legit consensual sex work and not people being forced into it. Not that I think that happens a lot, but she sounds like she’d be up for improving the system to better know for sure, and provide better support and resources for sex workers in general.

No.

I’ve only ever read a forums rules when adding a post, in order to ensure it gets accepted.

My comments on posts are responses to the post being seen by me. Any and all post seen by me are responded to as I see fit, ad hoc.

If you don’t like em, you can feel free to do your job and moderate whatever content you can as you see fit, but I am in no way ever going to read and study and memorize the combined thousands of rules for every community that pops up in my feed on any social platform before commenting.

Your demand is so far from reasonable, or rational, that my immediate conclusion is that you should be banned from ever moderating a public community.

So, please take your head, and remove it from your ass: BTW, you sound like a hardcore fascist POS!

Cheers.

Ran into this on newpipe last week, just loaded a webpage in mobile Firefox then went back to newpipe and refreshed the page.

Not sure about your situation, but there are definitely work arounds for some situations.

If you hit up some sources for the wattage details for something in your size, you’ll notice that the energy star annual use matches, so you can just grab one around whatever energy star energy use rating that fits your needs.

It’s just a basic general conversion, but not all manufacturers are up front about wattages.

Also, remember they pull more power when the compressor kicks on, so make sure what power source you have can hit that max easy enough.

I’d double tap it: add a lot of bait and trap stations too, and set it up and run it a good long while without food in it. Sealed beverage bottles/cans are fine.

Just set a reminder for a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and a month, to check traps and refresh if necessary. Then add food if it’s all clear.

Well, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings… And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!

I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!

I don’t want to have or need health insurance… I want my taxes to fund Universal Healthcare, not wars.

I want my Gov to service my needs, and my neighbors needs, not to function as an entity that taxes the many and profits the already rich few.
