  • Kim Dotcom to be extradited from New Zealand to US

    Jump

  • People can get injured on my land by actions they take, and I get sued. I’m not saying it makes sense.

    But the dude knew full well what he was doing and profited off of piracy. The US has some things to say about that. But apparently no one can read that I said I don’t condone the US here. Maybe the word “condone” confuses people, I don’t know.

  • Not that I condone anything the US government does or may do, but the guy literally profited off of people using his site for piracy. Not sure what defense he can muster that will succeed in the US court system.

    Edit> I guess people don’t understand the words I’ve written. Downvote me, please! Fake internet points are meaningless :)

    Edit 2> So many attempts at completely illogical analogies. Wow. And the funny thing is all I said is the US sees what he has done as illegal and therefore will pursue him, and that he would probably have little defense of it since he profited by doing so. It’s impressive how people go from that to inferring that I am on the US’s side with this pursuit. I honestly couldn’t care less what Kim did or what the US does to him…but it sure as hell would be nice if people stopped assuming more than what was actually fucking typed. It’s impressive the sheer lack of comprehension that exists on this Lemmy instance.

  • Well that looks like pure garbage. Glad I no longer have to deal with it.

  • TIL that a high school in Pennsylvania issued an Apple MacBook to each of its 2,306 students, then remotely activated the webcams to spy on the students at home.

  • Not all kids can afford that.

  • And in context of this post…Mac laptops do not. So the scotch tape (or black tape) idea is sound.

  • No worries! Happens to me all the time in real life.

    I appreciate the information you provided. Helps me learn some things I didn’t know and get my facts straight.

  • You’re mistaken. That’s the SEC. FTC is commerce and trade.

  • I think you mean FTC, but I'll research to learn more. Thanks!

  • Thanks! That's definitely more than I found. I didn't know it goes back to March. Much appreciated.

  • Many businesses in the US still cling to that trope, yes. We all understood that it was to a be a temporary issue in 2020 and 2021, but businesses took that to mean they could just never drop their prices now that people were willing, at the time, to pay for it. I'm not talking luxury goods either, I'm talking about staples to maintain life, such as meat, vegetables, and even water prices have risen. This is untenable for many, many people.

  • Thing is…there is no real free market with proper competition, anyway. If there was such a thing, my groceries wouldn’t cost double now from what they were a mere five years ago (or quadruple, if looking at soda like Coke and Pepsi products). There is rampant collusion and price-fixing going on and not a damn government official seems to be doing anything about it. And yeah, the “but but the pandemic” excuse runs pretty thin as the years of this gouging continues.

  • I suspect there’s a quite-overlapping Venn diagram of people who rely on LLMs for their “facts” with people who believe the earth is flat and people who believe ancient aliens are real.

  • 13.6km is 44,619ft.

    So nearly every time one flies commercial, yes, since cruising altitude is between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. I think a large triple-star system would be quite visible at that point.
