Seems like he's saying they are. If they see something criminal on the phone then it's not an unreasonable seizure.

American culture is still seen as something to emulate in many parts of the world. Hopefully less so after the next four years. We've had the same stupid tipping culture emerge here as well - seems like a sign that taxes aren't high enough at the top end.

Parents, copyrights, and trademarks are grouped together as Intellectual Property. They're all quite distinct however.

The signing ensures the integrity of the data, whether using a public block chain or not.

The signed document can be distributed as widely as you'd like - it doesn't need to be attached to a block chain to do this.

Sure, there's always going to be outliers. Most people live and work in the same metropolitan area though - they're not driving 50,000km+ a year. Besides, having a vehicle with 5 times the effective lifetime is going to be a big win regardless of how much you drive it.

Thanks!

I missed the site wide rules.

Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they're probably violating it themselves with their moderation.

Perhaps I don't really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn't this the mods doing their jobs correctly?

The OP's situation seems completely different to this and it's definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?

I've always heard them described as seagull managers. Screams loudly, shits everywhere, leaves.

Me observing that it's cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn't extortion.

Me threatening to break your legs if you don't buy something is.

Hope that helps.

Sometimes taking what seems like the right stand on an issue can deepen the harm - be careful about getting too extreme.

For example when the whole "gamergate" thing was going on and people were like "Why can't I just enjoy Tomb Raider?" - one side was standing up for diversity and inclusion by denouncing them as basement-dwelling incels who should self-terminate. So that naturally drove some to those right-wing assholes.

Sometimes it takes a bit of work to change someone's context so they can get closer to your perspective.

They're just a consultancy service - hardly worth investigating. Seems that they purport to offer expertise on how a developer can improve diversity and inclusion in their products.

Like any consultancy, whether they can actually do this and whether their clients will actually implement it effectively are another matter entirely.

The Steam group creator seems to think either they're garbage or that their clients' approach to diversity and inclusion is garbage. (Or maybe they're just some alt-right incel Nazi )

This particular take that's going around seems to be almost as stupid as Sweet Baby Inc's attempted takedown of the Steam group.

They're just pointing out reality - gaming media is "woke", if your product doesn't check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, "hire us to help". They're basically a PR firm.

This isn't them threatening to cause the damage, they're not The Mob - "Say, that's a nice game you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it."
