That’s not the bet. It’s a frivolous lawsuit with no chance at succeeding.
They’re either betting that defending it would cost more than $25M, that a bribe will bring them favor, or, more likely, accepting that the cost of doing business in Mein Dönald’s America is to periodically pay large baseless “fines” at the whim of a dementia patient.
It’s not a legal issue. They’d just shut down any accounts doing this. They already detect and shut down account sharing and this is just a variant of that. No law or government intervention necessary.

It’s certainly breaking TOS, so the country you’re in doesn’t matter.

Every company starts out privately owned. Being publically owned means you are legally required to put shareholders’ interests first and thus essentially be purely profit and growth driven, leanding to an unsustainable cycle of infinite growth which is a major cause of the enshitification of everything as we know it today.
Private companies can at least set their own goals and do things other than chase profit. Typically, that’s either “chase profit so the owners can cash out” or “focus on providing an actually good service/product so that profit/growth will follow”.
Private Equity is probably what you’re thinking about, where a PE firm purchases a company that’s either already private or they make it private again. There are many PE firms with many different management styles and goals, but the overwhelming majority have a goal of squeezing every last penny out of a company using any means necessary and fucking over the employees as much as possible before divesting it and moving to the next one.
That’s the beauty of it! The stupid overreaching big-government law says real doctors need to review appeals and review notes and consider circumstances. But that’s fuxkings stupud when a single line of code can deny claims and appeals at 1000x the speed and send EVEN MORE money to daddy’s dragon den which will then trickle down directly into MY POCKETS.
I took the liberty of writing my own hyper-advance AI to handle the task. It should only need 10 racks of GPUs to run.
public static void reviewClaim(Claim wasteOfMoney) {
if (wasteOfMoney.isNotCovered()) {
wasteOfMoney.deny();
} else {
wasteOfMoney.deny();
}
}
Erhm, gubbermint unhealthcare has DEATH PANELS where they KILL YOU!!! I much prefer my profit-driven health utopia. It’s much more simpler, no panels required!
Fuck yes, bleed my dry insurance-senpai. Take my father’s heart and buy a chair for your 100th yacht. CEO shinigami-san I wuv you owo. 🤤
If you’re fine with self hosting, you can just self host it and backup your local drives to a remote location. That’s what I do.
For backup software, I use Duplicacy. But Veeam, Borg, etc… would work just fine. For images, since they’re just static files and you don’t really need a version history, you could get away with a scheduled rsync job. Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.
For remote storage, I’d first consider a Hetzner storage box since they are flat-rate pricing and pretty dang cheap at $13/mo for 5TB. You might also consider StorJ, B2, S3, etc… I’d just stay away from any lesser known ultra-cheap storage providers.
The first browser on this list is Brave lmao
I hate this move and love my sideloaded apps. However, there are plenty of self hosted apps on the play store. It’s just putting in a unique address at setup, not compiling a whole unique app for each server.
No, you’re wrong. Every wishlist is a guaranteed sale on launch day. When people see that number tick from 0.5937.5 to 1.0, they can’t help themselves. It doesn’t matter if they wishlisted it 10 years ago and forgot the game exists. The trick is, they have to see it on launch day in an automated email. Otherwise the sale is lost for good. Literally every true gamer knows this.
You’re surprised that Trump isn’t paying his debts?
Which is exactly what H1Bs are supposed to be for.
Very true, but that will fade as platforms mature
Other people have mentioned it, but I’ll mention it too because it’s such an awesome feature. Piefed idebtifies duplicate posts across the fediverse and presents a combined comment section for them. It’s amazing at tackling the duplicate content and endless cross-posts issue.
Piefed has some great features for discoverability, like feeds, but afaik every fedi reddit clone still suffers from the problem that someone from your instance has to subscribe to a remote community before it shows up at all. So if everyone just picks an instance and sticks with it, the federation never happens. It also promotes a more centralized fediverse because more populated instances will both be more likely to have a local community for a topic and to have at least one user subscribe to any given remote community.
As an individual, it’s difficult/impossible to keep up with everything or to discover new things because there is no true r/all equivalent. You’d need to browse multile instances or use external tools regularly to check on fediverse activity.
Now if only Sync for Lemmy would get updates 😭
No OS protects you from this. If you are carrying a device that communicates with cell towers, your location is being triangulated and logged. I’m not sure about the daily location signals they’re referring to, but cell tower triangulation has been a thing for a long while.
Only way to avoid it would be to only carry devices that cannot transmit data. Internetingly enough, pagers fit the bill as receive-only devices. Messages are broadcast on the entire network instead of routed to a single device.
