Or they could keep reading the notice(s) and check out all the clearly stated details on who, where and how to send the fine payment

[–] Virkkunen@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah but here's the thing, the details for payment of such things is always clearly disclosed on whichever notice they've received, and probably this was sent multiple times. Also the lawyers appointed by xitter are Brazilian, in a Brazilian firm, so they are familiar with how this works and the system is not dubious or misleading or confusing at all.

Like I've said, they're either grossly incompetent to a point that they can't read anything, or they're trying their "best" to avoid paying the fine but their best is comically pathetic at most.

The xitter lawyers claim that there was no bank account indicated anywhere so they "had to guess" and are demanding xitter to be unlock as they paid the fine.

In other words, either they're grossly incompetent and can't read, or they're playing malicious by trying to abuse some loophole or anything to ultimately not pay the fine

EDIT: For some clarification, there is no information publicly available as to where the lawyers sent the money to, only that it wasn't the account linked to this fine, and that the lawyers are demanding the service to be restored because they claim the fine was paid, but the correct account hasn't received the money, so the fine is not paid. Alexandre de Moraes has asked Caixa Economica Federal (one of the government banks and the only one that deals with this kind of thing) to "fix" this issue so the attorney's general office can analyse the process and decide on restoring xitter's service. Elon Musk, X and the law firm representing them in Brazil are in absolutely no position to contest, much less demand, anything from the supreme court or the attorney's general office. Their actions have shown time and time again that they have no intention to play fair and regularise the issues, and they'll try what they can to create instability, animosity and general distrust against Brazil's judicial system.

The information regarding payment details for fines is ALWAYS clearly detailed on every notice, there is 0 chance that they forgot to include it or they've made a mistake and added a different account.

The more I read into this the more it looks like the law firm is being malicious instead of stupid, they're trying all that they can to not pay this fine (on behalf of X & Co.) and also create instability/animosity against the supreme court, specially considering what Musk has done and been doing for this whole case.

Don't these pans last like generations, being passed down? I doubt your grandma and her grandma were bothering to apply 8 coats of flaxseed oil and heating it up to 1000 degrees and the pans would still perform as expected for ages

It was a manual review conducted by an actual person that in the end admitted they were wrong

GitHub has nothing to do with this. All the information we have is that the dev himself took everything down after an agreement with Nintendo.

C&D in Brazil stands for Comedy & Despair, where you're the one laughing at the company desperate to get you to do what they want without having any actual legal leverage

The problem is that people tend to mistake being private to being above the law. You can argue against what law enforcement decides is a crime, but that matters little to service and providers and it's a another type of discussion

Brazil? I do miss being able to leave home bringing only my phone because my ID and cards are all there

Topgrade handles most distros package managers, things like npm, brew and cargo, can pull git repositories and cleanup cache as well

You either come up with something like frog-protocols to try and actually get things done, or you can wait for Wayland devs to endlessly bikeshed. Getting some amount of harmless fragmentation on an open source project seems much better than waiting 4 years (and counting) for them to start actually working on implementing HDR.

Considering that they "block sideloading Android apps", then I so believe it's yet another AOSP fork that blocks apps from the Play Store to be installed
