  • Russian court fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

  • According to the Article:

    Google in Russia has been inactive since 2022 after the search giant effectively pulled out of the country following Putin's special military operation.

  • They didn't start with that fine, it was just compounding interest

    The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

    And regardless, Russia can't block Google's operations in Russia because Google isn't operating in Russia since the war. Russia is trying to fire Google when Google quit 2 years ago.

  • If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?

  • I do think Harris will win, but the fact that it's this close is disconcerting.

  • The most popular games will likely continue to get pirated, all this will do is guarantee that some small vintage games are lost to time.

  • Even worse. I've checked out digital eBooks and digital audiobooks from my local library. And I listened to those audiobooks for FUN. The AUDACITY!

    Audacity is what I used to record those audiobooks so I could listen at my own pace, btw.

  • May I could check out a paper copy of those bits, would that be okay? Then it's not a digital copy

  • I answered your question on another thread of the same topic, but I'll answer it here too for anyone else who has the same question: The law is just about digital backups. Vintage stores are still legal, and if anything this would boost sales at a vintage stores. If the game you'd like to play is unavailable at a vintage store or on eBay (or wherever else) then it will be entirely inaccessible for you to play legally.

  • As someone who may or may not have stripped DRM from library books, they certainly never seemed to care about that. And it was never even to share, but rather to store for myself so I could read it at my own pace. And the worst part... I read it for RECREATIONAL USE

  • You'd better not also be reading books for fun. By their logic, any recreational use of books from a library should also be considered illegal.

  • You asked for feedback, so here is my feedback:

    The article is okay. I read most of it, but not all of it, because it seemed overly worded for the sentiment. It could have been condensed quite a bit. I would argue the focus should be more on the fact that there should be a standard in technical documentation, OS's, specification sheets, etc. That's the part that impacts most people, and the reason they should care. But that kind of gets lost in all the text.

    Your replies here come off as pretty condescending. You should anticipate most people not reading the article before commenting. Just pay them no attention, or reiterate what you already stated in the article. You shouldn't just say "did you read the article" and then "it's in this section of the article". Just like how people comment on youtube before watching the video, people will comment on the topic without reading the article.

    Maybe they didn't realize it was an article, maybe they knew it was an article and chose not to read it, or maybe they read it and disagree with some of the things you said. It's okay for people to disagree with something you said, even if you sincerely believe something you said isn't a matter of opinion (even though it probably is). You can agree to disagree and move on with your life.

  • You know you can be a liberal and still own a gun, right? And sure, most liberals don't want Joe from off the street to walk in and buy a gun with no further investigation, but most don't want to ban weapons outright. Guns should be in the right hands, in the right circumstances. You talk as if believing the the 2nd amendment immediately makes you conservative.
