Since they speak multiple languages, they probably spend quite a lot of time thinking about the subtle differences in meaning between words, so the precise meaning of the word “polyglot” no doubt matters quite a lot to them.

They also said that they were cancelling lifetime contracts that hadn’t been used in 6 months. Hard to see how those could be sinking the company.

It isn’t the case that they have to engage in diplomacy to bring him back. They are paying El Salvador to take these prisoners. El Salvador has no reason not to hand him over.

Well thank goodness that Microsoft isn’t pushing AI on us as hard as it can, via every channel that it can.

I cannot see how they could comply with both that and the GDPR, so the UK is asking Apple to choose between operating in the UK and operating in the 27 countries of the EU. Tough call.

I wasn’t suggesting that they do. I was commenting on the fact that they don’t even have the decency to pretend.

Of course. It’s just that they haven’t even come up with a plausible excuse.

it’s standard for providers to bill for two colonoscopies if they remove two or more polyps in different ways.

Billing for 2 procedures instead of 1 could conceivably explain why the bill was twice as high as the estimate. It could not possibly explain why the bill was three times as high as the estimate.

How clearly can Musk telegraph that if you want safety, you shouldn’t drive a Tesla? More evidence that he is a genius CEO.

Of course it’s a lie. With his money, he could end it overnight.

A reply to the original post, from a lemmy.ml account. I blocked them, so I can’t link you to it.

How about the comment further up - “daily dot world self-soothing thread” ?

OK, but why should this block the sale? The twitter handle is only a small part of the Infowars assets.

What if they put a blue tick on it?

Do commercial/industrial buildings not require power then?

You aren’t wrong, but you are assuming that the grid is required. Solar panels can be installed at the point of use, and then the grid doesn’t come into it at all.

But you say they are coming up with excuses for her. There are no excuses provided there.

You mean like Ukrainians? When Putin just won the election?

They are going to spend those 4 years doing everything they can to fix the next election as well. Gerrymandering, voter intimidation, you name it. By all means hide in bed to get over the shock but, if you stay there, you’ll need to stay there more than 4 years.

So an EU-backed distro could be the same. Yes, they would fund maintainers, but their own maintainers, not maintainers of upstream distros.
