That sank into a crater. So we built a third one. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into a crater. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest spacecraft on all of the Moon.

Yeah, I definitely misread the article, my bad! I doubt the EU will let it stand when it’s enacted.

Shit like that is in EVERY ToS ever created. Steam can shut you off for any reason. PlayStation can shut you out. Meta can wave a hand and you day goodbye to your accounts. If you don’t want to update then disconnect from the internet and use dev mode. Which they have provided. Problem solved.

It does not brick anything, you can still use dev mode and so everything you are used to, except using their cloud.

It isn’t law yet though, and it is the current iteration that Google won’t follow. We have yet to see how they will react if it actually becomes law. My guess is that they will, begrudgingly, bend the knee.

I suppose search engines should ask you which maps provider you want and then show results based on that.

Google could have done that, but they chose to go this router to inconvenience users, so that they then could blame the EU for this.

To be fair, the same argument can be applied both ways.

Yes

Depends, he might not be a giver!

That it is, and it’s not looking like it’s getting better any time soon 🙃

For us it does, since bigger kids are easier to take care of than babies.

Jesus fucking christ! I’m so happy I live in a sane country, we pay $250 for two children, and it’s only going down the older they get.

It left?

Heh, I do have link previews on, and I’ll never forget XcQ. But the joke is on you, I’ll always listen to that banger!

Not really related, but I believe this is the first time I’ve seen an emoji as a link 🤯

I assume so, but I’m not sure where. I’ll have to Google it later

Also based in the EU, and mine were turned on

Found that site at around chapter 30 or so. It’s a damn good (and horrifying) read.

I don’t know much about the technology, so I can’t comment on that. But I don’t really see politicians pushing for this, at least not succesfully. There are too many rightwing obstructionists in most Western governments right now…

It’s way less than that. 2.39x10^20 is around 4% of 5.8x10^21. Not even close to “almost as much”. Looks like the authors don’t know their powers of 10. So if we dedicate 5% of the total energy for one year it could theoretically be done.
