Do it! Let's see if the network will continue to route around damage

He doesn't need Twitter revenue financially, but he needs Twitter to be profitable psychologically. There's no way his ego will let Twitter not be a "business win".

It seems like he's demonitizing accounts who aren't even tweeting him directly, just talking about him. It doesn't matter what he does at this point, he's just identified himself as attacking Trump stans. They won't trust him again.

He will back down, though. Not only does he have the same crippling need to be loved as Trump does, but these lamprays srr probably generating a significant fraction of Twitter's revenue these days.

It's not a community setting or feature. It's a fact of the internet.

If you publish something to someone else's website, you no longer have any control over it. And federation means publishing your content on thousands of websites, many of them not even running the same software. Your comments are out there on mbin sites, Friendica sites, Hubzilla sites, Mastodon sites, Misskey sites, and many others. Someone's pribably got a custom web server they developed, slapped some ActivityPub inside of it, and didn't bother to make it even understand delete requests.

This is the internet. It is public, and it is forever. You really need to treat it as such.

I've been waiting for 3 things: An income that can afford a new car, EVs with 500+km of range (I make regular trips through regions with poor charging infrastructure, and experience winter), and for my current ICE car to kick the bucket.

The first two have come to pass. Just waiting on that last one.

No? Not everyone's doing work on quantum systems. Far from it. Most people do not need to use Dirac notation.

Sure, and all 5 people who were using torrents in 2002 were having a grand old time with them, too, I'm sure.

These are usenet data sales. Usenet is an old network of distributed discussion groups that predates the web by about a decade. It contains a large trove of media and software - particularly older media and software - that is easy to acccess because it's not a P2P network that is reliant others keeping their shares alive.

Many usenet providers offer bulk data plans, rather than continual subscriptions. This means you buy x GB of bandwidth, and you use it on whatever time table you like.These are great if you don't do a lot of downloading, or if you're just trying it out, or if you're using usenet as a secondary or tertiary source for things.

Like the fesiverse, most usenet providers do not provide a full view of the whole network, so it can also be good to have a secondary provider that has different retention policies, so a lot of usenet users will buy these data blocks for that purpose, as well.

I'd rather excise games based on setting, rather than mechanics nuances or narrative structure. Zelda games are about the story of Hyrule. We don't be needing none of them New Hyrule, Termina, or Koholint Island stories in the franchise. They can be something else.

GoG isn't the publisher. Y'all don't read the shit you agree to, and know fuck all about media distribution. You've never owned a video game, a movie, or even a book that isn't in the public domain. You've only ever owned licenses for personal use, and those licenses have always been provisional and revokable. Always. Your ignorance is not change that.

Reference frame matters. Looking at it from the perspectibe of the Sun, the Moon orbits the Sum directly. It never exhibits any kind of retrograde movement , and merely experences minor deviations due to the Earth, just as the Earth's orbit experiences deviations due to the Moon.

The distinction here is incredibly arbitrary, and the incredibly knee-jerk reactions to the question point to an unwillingness to actually consider the question out of emotionally charged, and rigid geocentric thinking.

You really need to look at what you're buying. Whether it's a download, a DVD, or damn floppy disk, you're still just buying a license. A very revokable license. If it's online, the publisher can cut you off.
