Ukraine is attacking military targets. That’s the big difference here.

I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.

They’re both violations of the conditions of release. Two separate violations, unrelated except for being prohibited behavior.

My guess is they’re cartel, and their boss didn’t like the idea of someone shutting down their trade routes.

It’s totally different from wow. Wow is a real-time mmo. BG3 is a turn-based fantasy RPG (think Divinity:Original Sin or Wasteland 3).

He organized an event without getting a permit.

The permitting process ensures that there’s adequate security, traffic control, etc.

He didn’t do any of that legally required stuff, and the result was an angry mob. We’ve been through this. This is why you need a permit for large public gatherings, and why he’s legally liable for what happened.

Makes sense to me; I’ve seen how it happens.

1. Recognize the US govt’s imperialim

2. Notice that US mainstream media generally downplays US imperialism

3. Discover that RT gleefully covers and condemns US imperialism

4. Conclude that mainstream news are corporate war apologists, while RT “tells it like it is”

5. Walk around telling people that Ukraine is full of Nazis trying to genocide Russian-speaking Ukrainians, and Putin is just trying to stop the purge.

Mr Struk … actively pursued a ‘pro-Russian position’ in the last week by 'communicating with the Russian Federation

Actively supporting an invading force during war isn’t “having a different opinion,” it’s treason.

It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.

To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.

I remember hearing an interview with him many years ago, and he shared a story about the shenanigans he got up to as a kid… he was into phone phreaking (used to be you could control the entire phone system by playing specific tones into any phone) and reprogrammed the phone system to think his friend’s home phone was a pay phone. His friend’s mom would try to call someone and the phone would ask her to deposit 20c. She was furious, and sent her son over to demand he fix it immediately.

I always thought that was one of the best pranks ever. RIP to a legend.

it’s possible that he was offered some kind of deal

It’s been reported that Lukashenko (of Belarus) brokered a deal. I haven’t seen any further details.

They’re clearly not witches, as evidenced by the fact that they don’t float.

It also said Amazon put customers seeking to cancel through a cumbersome “four-page, six-click, fifteen option” process, which the FTC said was known internally as “Iliad” in a nod to the Greek epic about the “long, arduous Trojan War”.

At least we get to live in a dystopian hellscape that respects the classics.

This is an ad masquerading as news.

He’s been pretty open about what he was doing. Here’s a lawyer going over the publicly available evidence back when Tate was first arrested. Presumably the cops found more evidence in the 5 months since then and will show it in court.

Tl;dw Tate publicly admitted to sex trafficking, kidnapping (through fraud), defrauding his girls, and tax evasion.

It is a 4th amendment violation, but some shit judge ruled otherwise at some point so they get to pretend it isn’t.
