Functionally it may be different, but if I’m sat at a table with another user, next to a criminal gun salesman and their customer, the salesman passes me a gun, and I pass the gun to the other user, who then passes it to the customer, am I not just as guilty of facilitating that illegal exchange?

I understand that one could try to make that argument aimed at an ISP or internet infrastructure in general, but in this case the added element is that we are individuals, we know people are often using these services for illicit means, and we still choose to facilitate their use.

Honestly I don’t know if I agree with my own argument 100%, but it’s something someone could argue, and it’s worth some thought before deciding to become a part of that shadowy community. Especially knowing there’s a good chance at some point you’re a willing link in the chain for criminal activity, even if it probably can’t be traced back to you.

Hmm, food for thought I suppose.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the USA will take responsibility for their actions and fully fund the environmental cleanup efforts, as well as apologise for having caused the disaster.

They are, after all, a noble people.

If it has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a removable battery and costs no more than £300, I’m interested! <3

I’d rather it were made in Europe too, but I understand we can’t have everything, supply chains being what they are.

P.S Bonus points if it has an IR blaster, I use the one on my current phone quite a lot, surprisingly enough!

Gambling. Call it gambling.

Trying to whitewash it as “Prediction Markets” so it doesn’t sound scummy, addictive, damaging and horrible is really annoying.

There is a market for predicting outcomes of things and waging money against those predictions, yes. We call it Gambling.

Motorola has been kinda crap for years now, not supporting their android phones with updates, etc.

Hopefully this is a new leaf for them.

Isn’t Lenovo that dodgy company that did the China stuff though? Hopefully they’ve been bought by someone else since then.

Is anybody acting like this is new? Shops relabel stuff with price changes regularly, this just makes it quicker and easier - staff don’t have to run around for a hour with a price gun and a bunch of shelf labels any more.

Improving how we display prices isn’t the issue, that’s a good move, it’s how prices are decided that are the problem.

Ameyyrucahhh FUCK YEAAAA comin again to save the motherfuckin day YEAHH

Every penny given to a US company is bankrolling their government through taxes, and thus funding authoritarianism.

OpenAI has direct government contracts sure, but yeah.

I agree it sucks.

The URL sounded a bit fishy (no pun intended) but they seem legit, so I’ll give it a read, cheers!

So, like, Spain no longer has access to any US trading businesses? No more Microsoft, no more AWS hosted services, no more access to any business trading out of the USA? All US trade with Spain?

Or… is he just lying?

Oof, unsupported walls in holes can kill you extremely fast. I’d never go into a hole deeper than my waist without shoring (even then, ehhhh).

Stay safe!

Ok, and?

Seriously though, who cares? You invade a country for no particular reason, and then put time and effort in to announce that a couple of your soldiers died?

…did they think that wouldn’t happen?

At this point if you’re in the US military, you know you’re eventually going to be sent to steal oil, or other resources, or to blow up a weak country to make your President look good in the polls. You’ve known that crystal clearly for decades now. You’re happy to die for that, and that’s ok, that’s your decision.

They’re happy to die in their pointless war, so why make a big deal out of it when they do?

Why not use the time to report on dying heroes instead, like firefighters, paramedics in danger, or even soldiers fighting for a just cause?

Ah well.

This is a great service to offer free of charge, a properly fitting bra can be a life changer!

Do people use something else to juice citrus fruits now?

I still use one of these, can’t imagine another design that would be better?

Download Accelerator Plus, my beloved 🥰

I’m the smortest! I know how to do things

Which planet do we owe the money to?

Who is this missing person with the pacemaker, and how is covering what’s happening to her helping Nazis?

If it’s the elderly woman in the photo, and if she’s missing (trying to locate her heart makes it seem so), should word not be spread via the news, in case someone might have some information as to her location, etc?

Or is the elderly woman a Nazi and you’d rather she not be found?

Break fast and move things!

Oh my god you can’t use big boy grown up words on the computer what if mother sees, we’ll all be sent to bed without our tea
