Amorally, probably. Ilegally? No, they are not.

Great article. Thank you for sharing.

As deaths mounted, anti-car activists sought to slow them down. In 1920, Illustrated World wrote, "Every car should be equipped with a device that would hold the speed down to whatever number of miles stipulated for the city in which its owner lived."

We have GPS maps with speed limits built in. They should definitely bring this back.

I think @Fake4000@lemmy.world made a solid point here.

Nintendo goes after those that make money. That includes ROM sites too. For example, Nintendo didn't sue Dolphin developers, they told Valve to take down their software. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am not saying that Nintendo goes only after those that make money but maybe a money papertrail takes away the anonymousness of the internet. Bank accounts makes finding people a whole lot easier.

You are correct, about the legal stuff. These companies are being sued all the time.

Doing this deal also makes processing the data a lot easier. Being handed a big ass database would be a lot easier than crawling for content.

What I posted was about how they operate. These companies showed time and time again that they don't really care what data they are taking or from whom. They will even take their own AI or machine learning content and put it in their own system.

All these AI and machine learning companies are taking content directly from websites and ignoring robot.txt files.

If your content is able to be crawled, even without being listed on search engines, I don't think it really matters.

I want to know what happens when something is only a criminal activity in a state.

Is an Alabama resident moving eggs and IVF clinics to a different state considered criminal activity?

How about a Texas resident talking about getting an abortion in a different state?

I'm not sure if state governments can even requests this but it does interest me what Proton's response would be. What if it was countries instead of states?

That only happens if you have 4 Democratic presidents consecutively. Get out and vote!

Why did you wait? You only have the cash now?

If that's the case, you probably should build up more of an emergency before you buy anyway.

With the influence of the Federal Reserve, mortgage rates were at it's lowest in the last 50 years in 2021.

Mortgage rates drops when there is a Democratic president and rises again when there is a Republican president.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to post these facts.

What they mean is that I’m not senile, or hysterical, or a rube. But these stereotypes are actually false. Younger adults — Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X — are 34 percent more likely to report losing money to fraud compared with those over 60, according to a recent report from the Federal Trade Commission. Another study found that well-educated people or those with good jobs were just as vulnerable to scams as everyone else.

Well Charlotte, you can tell yourself whatever you'd like to make yourself feel better but that's not the complete story.

The median individual reported fraud loss by people 18-59 was $500 in 2021. ...older adults were less likely to report losing money to fraud... The median reported loss was $800 for people 70-79, and a whopping $1,500 for those 80 and over.

Also younger people are more likely to get scammed where credit card protection are more likely to happen like buying goods online with a credit card.

And both old and young are no where near the $50,000 you lost.

Wyze cameras have spotlights and sirens on them. Those should be enough to deter most burglers.

How Meta said Threads was going to support ActivityPub?

Or Oracle buying Java just to sue companies like Google for using it maybe?

I'm sure Oracle has a ton of examples that I cannot remember at the moment.
