One could use the context in the OP to infer that the jurisdiction is the USA.

Yes, the law professors and Meta are both based in the USA.

I was more commenting on the fact that it's an incomplete sentence. What does it have to do with Lemmy?

Lemmy instances with *key instances!

Huh?

Phanpy is phenomenal and fixes a lot of the problems Mastodon and all microblogging platforms have.

It's not a scam. The retailers don't care where the money comes from.

It's just a terrible terrible idea.

I've had several stitches and broken bones but it beats having hypertension and diabetes or whatever else.

I don't usually train through injuries, just take a little break and find some other exercises to keep my body moving and my heart pumping, if I can.

It goes unpunished because it's not illegal.

If you have evidence otherwise, feel free to share.

I didn't say "unpunished or hard to enforce".

Well, we'd have to be more specific about what parts of the "user experience" we're talking about here in order to make that assessment.

I'm mostly talking about discoverability, the default algorithms, the lack of federation, and a way to actually filter content by language.

I really don't think it is.

 

This seems like a super useful app with almost no community around it. I can't seem to find very much information at all anywhere. Someone add me: briar://acqllat453fdlhu6vgmjeslxuize2ms55iswqqkt4s7qi2pyhuwt6

A few days ago I noticed a marketing email sent to my Zima alias. Apparently lots of other people also noticed this and were not happy. Attached is the IceWhale response.

 

Android has a greatly overhauled desktop mode on the way to replace the current primitive proof of concept in developer options. 6th gen Pixels added hardware-based virtualization support and 8th gen Pixels added USB-C DisplayPort alternate mode. It will all come together soon.

Overhauled desktop mode is already partially shipped as a disabled-by-default feature. Android enables some of it for the Pixel Tablet already but not Pixel phones. We plan to enable the same feature flags for phones too. Either way, it's an experimental developer option for now.

 

Playtron has made some waves in Linux gaming. They have lots of big names in Linux working on the project. Recently they were featured by Framework today in their presentation. However, I think it's abundantly clear that anyone who cares about FOSS should stay far away from this.

I was intrigued by this as well some months ago. I even ignored when they blatantly lied about Valve/Steam locking down their OS to only play Steam games. So I gave it a try and installed it. On setup they wanted me to agree to a EULA. That was red flag #2. Never seen that before. Then they wanted me to agree to their privacy policy. It is a very typical corporate user-hostile privacy policy. Some highlights
