Funny how imaginary numbers were invented to solve cube roots, but the most common give example (& definition) uses square root.

I think you're absolutely correct, but I think the difference between "Home alone today" vs "Save private Ryan today" is, that when thinking about home alone, because the story is essentially time/context agnostic, they might imagine in being today, but in the save private Ryan it is specifically refering to 2nd world war, so noone would think about it being placed in today's world But yeah, I agree with you. I could totally imagine a big movie creator lobbying government(s) to hamper war-ending efforts, so they can film there authentically, if it was easier than to do it in a studio

I think they do (or at least I've seen it mentioned), but this wa apparently caused a by a bad configuration fil for that driver. (A 40-something kB file pf pure zeroes)

Arguably what he is doing is for good, because he is also wasting their time, not being able to scam actual victims.

The worst part is, that the people who voted for them are ashamed of their vote, because they either refused or lied on exit polls. At least now everyone can see how the government is making clowns of themselves (the speaker of the parliament drove into a traffic pole while drunk last week for example), they don't act on their promises, argue with each other and lie. There are constant protests in the two largest cities of Bratislava and Košice, where many people gather to show the disagreement with the coalition and ridicule the politicians. A new meme emerged in the past few days about the fact, that more people signed a petition to remove the new minister of health from the office in a day, than the amount who voted for her in the election. There's also an observable difference between what people in large cities and foreign mail-in voters vote for and what people from villages with worse access to information and who are targeted by the adverts and propaganda by the populist extremist politicians vote for. Also the opposition is theoretically more favoured than the current coalition, but because there are many different parties, the votes get split and many parties don't get through the threshold that is needed for them to be even a part of the parliament and their seats get assigned to the ones who get there. We would probably benefit a lot from some kind of ranked-choice voting. We will see what happens in the upcoming presidential elections. At least it is a 2 round election, so the split opposition can get behind a common favourite.

If someone really wanted to add it, probably the best would be to use unless

I would guess that Samsung pay relies on Knox, which gets disabled by blowing an e-fuse, when you run a custom os. But maybe I'm wrong.

Why can't you restrict usage if you don't comply with local laws? Why can companies like Facebook restrict usage of their new features like Threads in the EU then? Or some US news network restricting access from the EU?

But, like when they would say in their EULA, that people from Texas and Florida are not allowed, then by using the service would be breaking of EULA and the wikipedia foundation could theoretically say that they're not operating there and it's the users fault. Like could someone still sue them then?

What would happen, if they ignored the laws and did not geoblock Texas and Florida, just say they don't operate there, but not restrict the users and still operate the way they operated until now?

What I mean, is that you made me realize what they actually meant, because I've read it as is.

[–] KmlSlmk64@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I actually now understand what was meant, because of your comment! I was like Why do they want to receive socialistic agenda later? Incredible what difference a wrong a/e can make! (I'm a non native english speaker, but I think it bothers me/I see it more than the actual natives)
