The fact that you have to say “in a sense” alludes to it being clickbait. In a sense every NDA ever has some sort of value attached to it. It would also be $15k difference in Trump’s legal team offers and after negotiations were final a $7.5k actual difference. Compared to the 600k already owed hardly a move of the needle. It’s really just standard lawyer negotiations.
The title makes one think Trump did the same thing he did the first time again which is not the case
Damn clickbaity headlines. It’s not like he offered her more money to shut up. Stormy Daniels was ordered to pay Trump’s legal fees due to a failed defamation suit and Trump’s lawyers tried to get an NDA in addition to the amount that Stormy’s legal team offered. The headline makes it sound like he was randomly offering her money just to shut up which is not the case. When we promote these sort of headlines it just gives the MAGA cult stuff to point at as to why all news is “fake news” and nothing should be trusted.
That is not what the Budapest Memorandum says. It’s really short so you can just read it but it only requires the US to bring the matter to the UN security counsel which they have. Russia has violated most provisions but the US hasn’t violated any.
We have, she wasn’t into it. She didn’t grow up gaming so she has a couple mobile time waster games and then just overcooked is the one we replay all the time…I’m worn out on overcooked but she loves it.
Well deserved. My wife doesn’t game but still had fun with it. This and overcooked are the only ones that have really worked for her.
I have no idea why he went back. I get that it takes balls to become a martyr but this one just felt like he could have made more of a difference being a vocal dissident living abroad. Maybe he had more faith that his imprisonment would start a movement for change in Russia but it went exactly how everyone expected it would.
A company “accusing” someone of piracy isn’t proof. Access to the internet is almost essential these days. If you can prove a person is pirating prosecute them under the law with fines or even incarceration if warranted. But stripping internet access from someone shouldn’t be seen as an acceptable punishment for a free citizen anyway.
Whoever owns the network attached to the IP address also shouldn’t be responsible for actions of every user. Let’s ban an entire company, college, or government institution from the internet because an IP showed up on a list… dumb ruling.
He won’t or he’ll release some fake bs. Nobody voting for Trump will care either way. It’s still a good move because it’s something that gets a headline and coverage that highlights a positive aspect of Harris.
Not really a difficult system to game. Sign up Dems and take his money.
Poor LGR, first the Sims 4 and now this.
Cool. I force a no-psn-requirement for games that I buy.
Again I’m in favor of choosing browsers on install, but lots of Chrome installs on Windows is not the same as being the default.
So much so that you even get this annoying popup from Edge when you try to download Chrome with Edge - which should be against the rules imo.
I agree with going after the Edge Lords and making things more fair…but I’m guessing Chrome is the most used we browser by a long shot even on windows so the “No platform independent browser can aspire to match Edge’s unparalleled distribution advantage on Windows." part feels like users are comfortable stepping over Edge’s corpse to download chrome anyway.
I said that after the 2020 election to my wife…it did not age well.
This is an older story. The narrative that it failed because it was too good is false. It was a private equity leveraged buyout that doomed it. The company got saddled with like 8x debt with a lot of that money going to dividends for the PE firm.
The product and the brand were strong enough that they’ve been sold to a different firm in the bankruptcy. If they are competently managed they should be fine.
Am I the only one who doesn’t care that much? People should be putting as much of the text/image directly into the body of their lemmy posts anyway to save clicks, a link to reddit when attribution feels necessary seems more appropriate in most cases because if I click the link I probably want to go to the actual source of info not an archive.
I’ll passively watch reddit kill itself with bad decisions I just don’t see the point in going out of my way to avoid linking reddit.
Antiques Meme Show. This one is worth a lot to the right collector.
People think emulator protections in the law are stronger than they really are. Sony vs Connectix made emulation legal, but it wasn’t heard by the supreme court. PS1 games weren’t encrypted and relied on other methods like disc wobble to prevent piracy…so without proactively violating any measures you could just not include that check in your competing emulator and play retail discs without breaking any laws.
In steps the DMCA anti-circumvention laws for bypassing video game / console encryption measures, which is an even bigger untested minefield without precedent in favor of emulation. And since games are default encrypted on new consoles and arguably not subject to exemption (at least while still supported) it really might be a disaster to fight it.
Nintendo is a dick but it’s not in our interest or theirs to really push the boundary on the status quo. The get to slap suit whatever they want taken down, we get to play the emulation hydra game where it’s still legally grey.
Let’s just watch none of them work on movements for ranked choice voting or other alternative voting systems and then tell me to throw my vote out again in four years.
