This is very nice. I wish they had shown more footages of the actual launch than this info graphic though.

Their legitimacy have always been found in being the absolute sellout to empires and willing enforcers of colonists against their own people though. Anything else is just pandering to the sold out victims so they stop fighting back and make the sub pressor job a little bit easier. Normalize relationships with Israel will absolutely be fine with the Saudi as long as the US want it.

Well, you just need to read between the lines there.

uncertainty over China's economic trajectory

Read: uncertainty over ability to continue exploiting labors using your accumulated surplus

geopolitical tensions...

Read: closing window of opportunities to freely move your accumulated surplus elsewhere

This is just like those immigrated nobles running from liberal revolutions in the past.

Doesn't seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.

At this point a case need to be hundred of "b" to be more than cost of doing business for Apple. The 'm' fine are just rounding errors

Cars. Or at least infrastructure systems that's entirely built just for cars.

Do DeDRM, and yet they host their code on GitHub and have a link directly to PayPal in the README for funding? Are these guys trying to get sued?

The IP and character designs are probably the only thing that's worth saving. Everything else from writing, world building to even power systems have been a complete mess.

I kinda understand the pain of those fanfic writers who sent time to write those stories. But book printing and binding for small numbers of print is really expensive. And I'm sure a lot of book lovers would love to have physical versions of their favorite works. So I am sure the situation will continue until things change in the publishing industry.

The reporter probably considered nothing less than a nuclear first strike a"loud" announcement 🤣

Pretty sure killing wounded combatants who have no means of resistance is a war crime. It's even worse since it happened inside a hospital which should be shield from any fighting. Most moral army is acting as a bunch of war criminals as usual.

Whatever already existed won't be thrown away regardless of the ruling. It's like throwing all the gold already dug up just because it was done by slave labor. The law and legal actions are mostly just a moat around the pile of gold already dug up. Sure AI companies will have to pay more for the new data from other sources. However that would be peanut compared to how much they will have to pay starting from zero.
