I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.
For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had “null” as the receiver in the system.
Everything else was fine, address and tracking numbers sent to me etc - but I did have a few interesting discussions at pickup locations that wanted to see identification matching the name in the system …
nycjournals.com seems to be an influence operation. The domain is a month old and the about section contains nothing that actually tells you anything about what’s behind the site.
edit: That means this is likely a false story unless corroborated by another source.
That’s mostly a US thing though I think? Over here in Europe the concept of suing your company is practically non-existent. Your recourse is through the legal system regardless of any HR actions.
Apple would lose such a case in an instant. EU consumer protections applies to the consumer for products bought from a seller within the EU. The laws do not care the slightest whether you’re using your devices on vacation or not.
No. That EU-citizen is fully protected by EU consumer laws. Has nothing to do with where that citizen make use of their product.
While a meme, yes. I’m an ex-boss and I’ll happily verify that HR works for the company. The function is, “within what the company needs, keep employees happy and content”, sure - but at the slightest conflict between company needs and HR needs it’s the company needs that matter.
This isn’t really supposed to be a secret, but I think we don’t talk about it openly enough since every time a discussion like this pops up I see people who have misunderstood the function of HR.
… now what might be a bit more of a secret is how closely companies work together with the unions. Let’s just say I’ve never seen any real union pushback.
I’ve linked to two different instances of people talking about it, there are of course many more. Thus why I asked you how big this conspiracy of yours would be for all of them to be lying.
What do you see when reading this?

That’s … not how it works. If they did brick the consoles Europeans own they’d likely be breaking EU wide laws, which at the end would end up with the highest court in Europe - the EUCJ.
There’s nothing arbitrarily about this. Our consumer protection laws are quite strong.
Sure, I can’t really understand myself why I wrote Pedro Pascal instead of Diego Luna - but it doesn’t change the point of the post whatsoever tbh.
“litigation” is not really how we usually talk about consumer’s rights in Europe though. As the article clearly states:
the legal framework in Europe is much more protective of users. The corresponding laws understand that disabling a device for unauthorized access to software is an excessive and illegal measure.

(afaik Pedro Pascal isn’t a black woman but maybe I’m out of the loop)
Yes.
Fifty to 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (HSV-1), which causes cold sores or fever blisters in or around the mouth. Genital herpes, caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, affects one out of every six people in the U.S. age 14 to 49.

It’s very important to you that the claims about racism and misogyni aren’t true, correct? Why?
How big is this conspiracy of yours?

“Herpes on the genitalia” still doesn’t mean type 2. We have no idea what type she has from the included information. Based on the number of infections of the different types simple statistics would say type 1 is more likely.
AFAIK that’s not the same thing as “herpes on their genitalia” though. There are two kinds of the virus, type 1 and type 2. However, type 1 can infect the genital area and type 2 can (although it’s not as common) infect the throat.
Receiving oral sex from someone with type 1 (“cold sores”) can give you herpes on your genitalia. It’s still type 1 though, and is thus not referred to as “genital herpes” since that’s the name given to type 2. Since many herpes infections are asymptomatic a lot of people don’t even know they’re infected.
Confusing, yes.
This is one of those viral diseases that you’re unable to avoid if you’re going to have any kind of active sex life. Regular oral sex always carries the risk of transfer of “cold sores” (which pretty much everyone has, although some never really show any symptoms) to the genitals.
Why is it important for you to claim that the well documented racism and misogyni that started well before the show premiered didn’t exist?
Yeah I think in this case the few noisy ones managed to create an atmosphere online early on where people assumed the series was bad and gave up on it - causing low numbers for the episodes that followed.
This is why Bitcoin was invented.
No, really. We’re discussing this on a decentralized technology because we know that centralized control is bad - and that applies to the technology of monetary transfers as well.
Too bad it was then mostly used for speculation instead of actually building up an internal economy where we wouldn’t now have to care what itch.io’s payment processors think.
