The general consensus is that this lawsuit was fake and started by anti-Trump members of the GOP in 2016.

Defendant has engaged in “crowdsourcing” schemes, such as a scheme where he solicits members of the public to “donate” to his online community

Ah OK then, money was involved.

It’s getting worse either way it seems, frankly it’s getting to the point that drastic action now could prevent worse harm in future.

How is a screenshot of a twitter post a meme?

Yes but the reddit mod James Williams aka Archbox didn’t do any of that. He ran a subreddit and also apparently some “stores” where you download games for free directly to your Switch. This is a major outlier, all the previous cases have only been triggered when money got involved.

Nintendo are trying to push for further precedent here and make things worse for consumers.

Why bother with impeachment? Biden should just exploit their most recent verdict and round them up as part of an emergency official act.

I have a drying rack that doesn’t open wide enough to slot plates in it. I did manage to fit a chopping board in it, just… Then I heard a crash a few minutes later as it had popped out and jumped out the window.

Fortunately there was scaffolding outside, which I could get onto from a window on the other side. Going up and over the roof to fetch the chopping board gave me the chance to check out the new apartments they’re building up there.

I have made water quality and protecting Florida’s natural resources a priority and my administration will continue to do so

If he was doing that there wouldn’t be a need for this bill in the first place.

Erm, WhatsApp would suggest otherwise.

WhatsApp was the vector for zero click access to a target’s phone from Israel’s weapons grade hacking Pegasus toolkit. They would send a video call, typically in the middle of the night, and with no input from the used they’d get full access. My personal belief is that they used functionality WhatsApp itself uses to access user data.

There was also an encrypted phone called ANOM, which had this trick calculator app with a hidden encrypted messager. “Made for criminals, by criminals”. Except, when the guy started his business he got investment from the FBI and Australian Federal Police to pay for the servers and some of the phones themselves. Basically every time it sent an encrypted message it sent a separate encrypted message to the ANOM servers. It’s entirely possible (perhaps even likely) that WhatsApp would do this also.

As for Google, they’re truly insidious. Lots of banks now require you to connect to Google captcha servers - they don’t give you the pictures, it’s just the back end, basically the tracking parts. Then there’s the controversy about them collecting location data when users have said no. They absolutely do collect data they shouldn’t.

I viewed it on a work connection, can’t wait to see what happens.
