European Court of Human Rights ended up banning all legal efforts to weaken encryption of secure communications in Europe

This being the case, how can they try to reintroduce the legislation?

The problem with renting rather than owning your hardware and software

Why is anyone still buying Nintendo products at all?

I LOL’d at taking the ADL as a credible source. Any group who tried to spin Musk’s Nazi salute has no business speaking publicly ever again. I hope Wikipedia continues to give them the respect they deserve — none at all.

I’ve always liked Murkowski (and Collins and McCain).

Any word on when they plan to cancel access since no one owns anything except Ubisoft?

This is the problem with rented software. The obvious solution is to support indie developers and retailers like GOG.

Actually, he can’t count at all. He’s just discovered that lining up numbers gets a reaction, so he keeps doing it.

I mean, it was always GOG anyway. This just shows that it’s the right decision.

So the founders figured out how to sell the company AND keep control of it. Neat!

I find more and more that I have to check the source to be sure which are Onion articles and which are real headlines. Sadly, the truly outrageous ones tend to be real these days.

Hard to do when our administrations have also drunk the job-certificate koolaid. They forcibly overload our classes with twice as many students as we can effectively teach. Essays are just about the only tools we have.

Maybe the AI was trained on a Pornhub-heavy dataset?

I think Welsh also has the lower teeth-upper lip variant. I think it’s phonemic and not an allophone of /f/, but I’m not certain.

As for why, these seem like good hypotheses. I sure don’t know :)

“Have a beer” was standard advice from upperclassmen when I was a foreign language major in college. Of course, the drinking age then was 19 and only loosely enforced, so we could go to a bar. But it was the best advice for beginners to get over their nerves.

It’s been a few years since Intro to Phonetics, but aren’t labiodentals produceable with either upper teeth-lower lip, as seems the case in this study, or with lower teeth-upper lip, as would be the case in edge-to-edge alignment?

Diet affecting evolution and thus language seems plausible, but this doesn’t seem a strong aregument.

Which contradicts no part of what I said. Critical thinking. It works.

Honestly, if any Truth code were pushed into Mastodon, I’d probably stop using it

Do players celebrate layoffs? Or do they just enjoy the schadenfreude when karma bites executives and managers who disrespect their customers?

Either way, yeah $70 for a game, especially for a bad one, buys me the right to complain.

Thanks for the update
