Under the terms of the settlement, obtained by Bloomberg Law, Alphabet will spend $500 million over the next 10 years on systematic reforms. The company will have to form a board-level committee devoted to overseeing the company’s regulatory compliance and antitrust risk, a rarity for US firms. This group will report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai. There will also be reforms at other levels of the company that allow employees to identify potential legal pitfalls before they affect the company. Google has also agreed to preserve communications. Google’s propensity to use auto-deleting chats drew condemnation from several judges overseeing its antitrust cases.

My brain autocorrected so hard I didn’t realize it was wrong until this comment.

The closest I’ve seen is those videos where they have to censor it and send you to Patreon for the full version.

Not if they’re the kind of users my parents are. An update moves a button from the bottom-left to the bottom-right and suddenly “the app you gave me is broken again”.

Also, don’t sneak-change things on other people’s phones.

Really? I figured it was the artist who does the top/bottom lesbians with band shirts.

Edit: Found them. I was thinking of @G_R_S_

This is his third term as a senator.

WTF Texas?

Back in 2018, Steam stated its approach to content on its platform was "to allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling".

…

A social media account linked on Steam to the game’s developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine’s refusal to surrender will provide “a lot of content to make more missions in our game”.

I’m pretty sure that qualifies.

Meanwhile, guy who can’t read: that sign can’t stop me!

I don’t think it’s meant to be funny.

It is, however, pretty rad.

Username checks out.

@ZDL is a bot account?

I recognize this artist, but I don’t remember their name.

Set up a global bounty GoFundMe that anyone can contribute to anonymously.

It keeps an up-to-date ranking of everyone worth over 1 billion, and pays out to anyone who removes someone from the list.

Is that how it works? I thought content is only hosted on the original server, and each instance only shows a temporary copy at best.

If every instance is duplicating the content of every other instance, wouldn’t they crumble under the hosting costs in… hours?

Serious: how would you federate something like mangadex?

Slight tangent: Would blocking still work if they tried to send nudes via Snapchat?

I’m not “asking for a friend,” I’m just curious how effective this feature could possibly be.

There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.

I like this in theory. But I know in practice some idiots will always manage to get their hands on the curriculum.

These are the total numbers and includes the at-risk games. Which may not be helpful to some, since the fate of those games is unknown.
