  • Council’s £51m car park can’t be used … because there’s no road in

    Jump

  • I know this is fuckcars, but park-and-ride schemes are to remove cars from city centers.Park out of town, get a bus in for the day, bus back, and drive home.They are fairly popular and fairly effective around the UK.

    Yeh, it would be great if everyone had excellent bus/train service, but this is a decent stop gap

  • What OS is best for a beginner to degoogle?

  • Nano is useful because it is everywhere.There are better editors, but being familiar with nano and it's shortcuts means you can edit files pretty much anywhere.Same with knowing the basics of vim (like being able to edit, exit and save)

  • Brazil’s supreme court upholds ban on Elon Musk’s X over ‘illegal conduct’

    Jump

  • The judge that banned X also stated a fine of 10k for anyone using a VPN to circumvent the ban.Difficult to police and enforce, but it's been made clear that accessing X is considered illegal

  • This is what "eat the rich" and "if a punishment is a fee, it's an operating cost" mean. You get your company banned and personal assets seized. It's delicious.

    Anyway, I'm not going to take your outrage seriously.First it was hell bent that no legal process had been done, which took me all of 2 seconds of googling to disprove.Now it's that only uncivilised places would dare seize personal assets. And somehow still that no legal process has been done.

    This has been going on for months, with musk acting like the man-baby he is.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brazil-elon-musk-x-twitter-free-speech-disinformation-obstruction/

  • Sure, but the fines have gone unpaid.The private owner of the private company X has enough money to cover the fines.Brazil is now seizing assets to try and recover the amount due.

    X isn't declaring bankruptcy. X is flaunting legal rulings and dodging fines.If that scares away "investors" that are going to skirt or flaunt laws, rulings and legality then it seems like a decent result for Brazil.

    Additionally, the judge froze the financial assets of Starlink, Musk's satellite internet company, to cover unpaid fines amounting to 18.5 million reais ($3.28 million) imposed on X for non-compliance.

    So, exactly what Brazil has done?

    Edit:Some more detail on the daily fines imposed, and total fines due.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/aug/30/elon-musk-x-could-face-ban-in-brazil-after-failure-to-appoint-legal-representative

  • What is your home page that you need access to it so conveniently?Besides, new tab can be set to a webpage instead of a blank tab

  • Police use Taser to subdue man who stormed media area of Trump rally in Pennsylvania

    Jump

  • Have the whole "trump incited Jan 6th" legal cases been resolved?Seems like more evidence of trump inciting followers to violence.

    I'd also hate to be a freelance media person. On one hand, the danger-money will be good for a while. On the other hand... Trump and Trumpers.

  • I used Graphene for a month. It was absolutely amazing, except from not having contactless payment.The sooner they win their lawsuit against Google to get 3rd party OS attestation the better. I'll jump back in a heartbeat

  • Military contractors advertise on the London underground because MPs, MI5 and MI6 have plenty of staff who commute.Plenty of public servants use social media.In Scotland, Scottish Water (a publicly owned nationalised company) has to advertise.

    It's not necessarily about selling new products, but maintaining awareness and keeping up opinion.

  • Trump Calls For Gun Confiscation In Fox News Rant: Cops Should ‘Stop And Frisk And Take Their Gun Away’

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the whole "the police know who they are, they know where they live, they know their middle name" bit means not-white-male.So, it's a 3-way tug-of-war between gun fanaticism, their reincarnated jesus, and racism

  • Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results

    Jump

  • AI is hype.They've recently signed a deal with Reddit for AI parsable data. Reddit reciprocated by allowing Google to be the only indexable search engine.Google now thinks it can do the same to literally everyone else.Googling is pretty damn mainstream.Don't give Google your data, then don't be included in googles search results. It's like a flip of their previous trade with reddit, except it's not a trade. It's extortion.

    Reddit never gave Google traffic. They gave them content and data.And Google thinks it can withdraw traffic from other sites unless they get data in return.Google is a monopoly.Literally extortion
