Unfortunately DuckDuckGo sucks ass at search, even compared to how much the Google search results have degraded over time. I use the no-AI version as my primary search engine, but I have to resort to using Google to find the thing I’m looking for about 1 in 5 times.

For future reference: “throwing hands” means initiating a fight, it’s a piece of slang that is very distinct from throwing your hands (up/in the air.)

Your behaviour is indistinguishable from that of someone who is defending them, since you’re arguing their side of the lawsuit. The magazine is legally required to publish a reply which is “suc­cinct and con­fine[s] it­self to the sub­ject mat­ter of the con­ten­tious rep­res­ent­a­tion,” not any given reply that Palantir wants to make. As quoted at several removes, “Republik’s managing director Katharina Hemmer said Palantir had wanted the magazine to publish a very lengthy counterstatement to each article. Republik believed the proposed statements did not fairly address or rebut the reporting”

Strictly speaking I think they’re being sued for not forcing it on their customers. If it had been genuinely a change in service offerings that everyone was forced to accept I think they would have been in the clear, but resorting to trickery instead of force is a no-no.

And Vaxry’s defense of the community was “actually, we harassed a transphobe a few months later.” Yes, great, you’re shitty to everyone. Yay.
