Another side is that you’re also bound to their agreement. If the law firm was too soft on them, tough luck.

In an ideal world, we’d have government agencies prosecuting illegal stuff (and putting huge fines back into the economy) instead of hoping that private law firms will do a class action, but oh well.

Is the odometer not recorded when having yearly inspections? Or do people cheat it before those as well?

Cloudflare doesn’t really have a straightforward way as an end-user to see detailed information about their blocks and such. But I’d recommend checking your IP on Project Honeypot, CF utilizes such lists for some of their WAF stuff.

In many other places with functional healthcare systems, the response might be “let’s get you started on haloperidol”…

Long story short: The test worked. We found out what that system was used for. Rather quickly.

But what was it used for?!?!? What a cliffhanger.

It’s maybe some kind of circular logic, but my brain doesn’t recognize a picture of Satya Nadella = “Microsoft’s CEO” for some reason.

Many think that Windhund/vinthund is referring to wind (sighthounds are fast), but it’s most likely folk etymology. It’s believed the name most likely originated in lower German from the Wends - as sighthounds were mainly known from that region at the time.

they don’t allow VPNs

Most likely to reduce the risk of ban-evading cheaters/griefers. Plus that most people usually avoid using a VPN when playing such games, due to the risk of increased latency.

For some reason, my steam ID wasn’t banned.

All of these plugins initiate only an IP ban, so the person is able to rejoin with their “real” IP address.

But you’ve actually tried asking for your Steam ID to be whitelisted? Shame that their admins don’t know how to/don’t want to do it.

Why not ask the server admin to whitelist your Steam ID? If you’re apparently a “regular” and don’t cause problems, I don’t see why they wouldn’t whitelist you.

It also draws attention and could make you a target. Like, I disdain the whole “what do you have to hide” fallacy, but that’s the impression that’d be broadcast to anyone who sees your place on streetview if you were to blur it out.

I think the lack of profile-wide “karma” is one benefit, so there’s not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.

How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.

I never would have thought that Jim Cramer was a Lemmy user.

Isn’t that just the same pig, just wearing different makeup? I’m not a fan of msedgewebview2.exe allocating 500+ MB RAM just because Teams is open, but maybe that’s Teams fault…

there’s always a reason for why things are the way they are

Of course, no one is saying that the Danes were so drunk that they simply wanted to make their numbering so much different than everyone else. The problem is that they don’t want to change it, probably because “it has always been this way” or something.

Even Norwegian, which was historically more like Danish, changed to using “normal” counting in the 1950s. So it can be done, but Danes seemingly don’t want to change, despite the fact it makes their language harder to learn/use.

You’re joking though, right?

I’d also assume it’s referring to TPE-based toys? All that “jelly” stuff is garbage and shouldn’t be allowed to be sold.

It must be annoying to remove their mobile antennas though? It seems like most new cars have built-in connectivity.

You’re usually not supposed to interact with the screen either when driving, and it’s easier to put your hand back on the wheel when the screen is mounded instead of dropping your phone… but I get what you mean.

Japan to start getting their own militaries strong enough

Thanks in part to the SCAP in post-WW2, they’re not even allowed to do that. But we all know that Trump doesn’t care about agreements.
