I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it's just about soon moving the clock

“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”

I hope no one indeed will be "off limits" in the criminal investigation, let's see...

I agree. I love Mastodon's calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I'm in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

I finally got around to installing OpenMW - it looks much better! Thanks again

I agree with you, I'm also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the "you are walking a line" comment, but without knowing all the details, I'm reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions. I really hope this story gets picked up by media so we at least get that side as well, however imperfect it might be.

Agreed, no big deal. But YouTubers who knew about it before this controversy will typically use the intended pronouncing, and it's easy to spot those who didn't care much about it until this all started.

It sounds like G-DOUGH.

This never crossed my mind, but you are right. Online interactions do lack a lot of context, and it must have been hard (or practically impossible) to discern genuine from malicious calls to remain apolitical in a situation of intense online harassment.

This is evident in a few ways:

  • How they subtly or glaringly misunderstand what it is and what it does
  • How they call it "a company"
  • How they pronounce it as GO-DOT

20% by 20%, the progress bar of me agreeing with this assessment went to a 100% as I was reading it.

“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,”

Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I'll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂

 

U pravu je Vučić kad kaže da nisu sve zemlje uvek bile bogate i sve uvek siromašne. Samo što su na čelu zemalja koje su „proklete“ resursima obično autoritarne i korumpirane vlasti u službi transnacionalnih korporacija.

 

"Our hearts are heavy for our friends and colleagues at Open Collective Foundation with whom we shared dreams, efforts, admiration, and inspiration as we each worked to build a community of care and support."

 

"Fenwick invested $3.5 million into buying the $7.4-million property in 2007, making him the largest shareholder. He alleges that after more than a decade of minimal activity, Rice suddenly called a meeting in June 2021. He says Rice urged him and the other investors to take advantage of a “spike” in demand for industrial property by selling the land, adding that it could take another decade for the municipality to build sewer and water services, and developing the property privately would yield a low return on their investment."

 

Canadian authorities are investigating a prolonged data security breach following the 'detection of malicious cyber activity' affecting the internal network used by Global Affairs Canada staff, according to internal department emails viewed by CBC News.

 

An internal email related to the Greenbelt scandal suggests Ford's office "was far more involved" in the land swap than the premier has maintained.

 

Hackers who compromised Okta’s customer support system stole data from all of the cybersecurity firm’s customer support users, Okta said in a letter to clients obtained by CNBC Tuesday, a far greater incursion than the company initially believed.

 

... Finally, this isn’t exactly a “problem” with the lawsuit, but I’ll just note the conflict in two separate statements:

X Corp. and Elon Musk are a critical Media Matters target because X is the most prominent online platform that permits users to share all viewpoints, whether liberal or conservative, and Mr. Musk is the most prominent voice on the platform and a passionate supporter of free speech.

That’s in paragraph 41 on pages 11 and 12. On Page 14 in the prayer for relief we get this:

A preliminary and permanent injunction ordering Defendants to immediately delete, take down, or otherwise remove the article entitled “As Musk Endorses Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory, X Has Been Placing Ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity Next to Pro-Nazi Content From Its Web” from all websites and social media accounts owned, controlled, or operated, directly or indirectly, by Defendants;

So… within the span of about 2 to 3 pages we are told that Elon Musk and exTwitter are passionate supporters of free speech that allow “all viewpoints” to be shared and that Musk is filing this lawsuit to force Media Matters to take down speech that he admits is absolutely true, but where he doesn’t like how they portrayed things.

Anyway, kudos to Elon. This really takes stupid SLAPP suits to incredible new levels. I didn’t think you’d be able to find a lawyer who would file a lawsuit so stupid, that makes you look this ridiculous, but you did it. Just like people doubted your ability to shoot rockets into space or make popular electric vehicles, I should not have doubted your ability to file absolutely nonsense SLAPP suits that are this laughable.

 

Google and the federal government have reached an agreement in their dispute over the Online News Act, sources tell Radio-Canada and CBC News.
