It looks like only about 20 people walked out, and it isn't clear at all from any sources what it is he supposedly said and how it came to transpire, other than the fact that one of the things he said was in direct response to a question asked of him, and someone in the facebook thread seems to indicate the person they had moderating had a hand in the nonsense. Someone also said that the submissive comment was him talking about how women were treated at the time.

Yes, like refunds it'll probably get sorted the first time someone's estate with a bit of money tries to will it to someone and then they take Valve to court/make a complaint to the EU.

The EU has already taken care of it.

The Court of Justice of the European Union found that a
copyright owner exhausts the right of distribution to a copy of a computer
program once he sells, or authorizes the sale of, the copy. This means that whoever purchased the
computer program can resell it and the copyright holder cannot control the
resale of the copy. The Court found that
this exhaustion principle applies whether the copy is on a tangible medium like
a CD-ROM or DVD or an intangible download from the Internet, and it also
applies to corrected and updated programs that the copyright owner sells. Furthermore, the Court made clear that contract
clauses that deny the customer the right to transfer his copy of the computer
program are void.

The best method I've found for using it is to help you with languages you may have lost familiarity in and to walk it through what you need step by step. This lets you evaluate it's reasoning. When it gets stuck in a loop:

Try A!
Actually A doesn't work because that method doesn't exist.
Oh sorry Try B!
Yeah B doesn't work either.
You're right, so sorry about that, Try A!
Yeah.. we just did this.

at that point it's time to just close it down and try another AI.

The best part is the mods who don't remove posts where people celebrate someone being killed, or suggest someone be killed because they disagree with them. The unfiltered bigotry is really the second best part of the fediverse /s

Yeah, romanizing Asian names is done poorly to be honest. I saw it a lot in Korea. They had this 'official' system that they followed, but to be honest it mostly caused more issues. The common joke at the olympics was the Korean guy named suk, but it was pronounced more like sock than suck. and if they'd just spelled it like that , it would eliminate those jokes entirely. Spelling it pawn or pon would eliminate that connotation completely.

It's a very common part of Thai names. Not sure what the origin is, but you see it all over the place.

Half the time in these stories it comes out the parents/relatives/friends happen to actually be experts in the field and work at some high level place where the teens in question just happened to have access to cutting edge resources and 'guidance'.

There had been one other documented proof of the theorem using trigonometry by mathematician Jason Zimba in 2009

No it doesn't.

 
 

Is anyone watching this? I feel like I missed a prequel or something. The story just seems to start in the middle and then throws around so many flashbacks, but I don't think it does it in a good way. Reminds me a bit of Jupiter's Legacy in how heavy and poorly it uses them.

We're 4 episodes in and there is still no real clarification of the motive of almost anyone in the show.

 

The pinnacle of bureaucracy.. the DVLA insisting on an official translation of an English license from an embassy.

can't even post a thread in this magazine.

So my question: are we going to be defederating instances that don't crack down on users supporting and advocating terrorism?

#kbinMeta

 

Per the title. Just wondering if we're going to see any response if we start seeing users from particular instances spreading terrorist propaganda or supporting them.

 

This has been broken for awhile now, just wondering if there is an alternative method or some indication when it's going to be fixed?

As magazines get larger, they're going to require additional mods to help moderate them. Currently it doesn't seem possible to add anyone as any time you go to the moderator tab on a magazine, it just gives an error. I did once, for 30 seconds get a page to load, but haven't seen it since.

 

How can we add moderators to a magazine? As soon as we click moderators on any magazine we get an error. It's been going on for quite some time now

It looks like a new spamming tactic will be to set up your own instance and then just mass spam to other instances from there. Case in point, vive.im I've been noticing spam in one magazine from a user of this. I banned them, but they can still post for some reason. Decided to visit the instance and it looks like some default front page with '3' active users. If you look at the user's account on there they've made 12k posts already and seem to have a script set up to push their blogspam 3-4 times per minute.

  1. We need a clear process to report and get these kinds of things removed quickly.

  2. Bans need to work properly and stop these users from posting.

 

Why can a banned user from another instance continue to post to my magazine? He's clearly in the ban log but can still post.
