I don’t want to hear what Epic has to say about my dog’s shit.

^Low key the changes do seem pretty shit if the reporting is accurate^

This is a really interesting train of thought!

I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”

Bro! What if consciousness isn’t real, and we’re just faking it

Well the VLC one was free, and I’m guessing theirs won’t be.

Other folks in this thread are speculating that they want to put their own video player in the store.

I get asked to prove I’m making a legit login attempt all the time because it’s from a new IP address. 23andMe could have implemented something similar, and given the sensitive nature of the data they host and given how we all know that people can’t be trusted to have good password hygiene, I think they should have been required to do so.

IMO this whole thing is just more proof that we need better regulation around how companies treat users’ private information.

Wait. If a company breaks the law, you can punish the people in charge instead of just fining the company an insignificant sum? Are you sure?

Was the payout actually from campaign funds? I thought the problem was that it wasnt and that the money needed to be reported as a campaign contribution because keeping it quiet was obviously for the benefit of the campaign.

Sorry for ranting towards you, and for any I'll feelings I bestowed upon you.

Not at all! I’ve enjoyed the conversation!

I couldn’t find anywhere within an hour’s commute of me that sold what I needed at reasonable prices.

As I understand it, this case isn’t about websites tracking you, but about Google themselves tracking you despite being in “incognito” mode.
