Wow it’s really cool someone from a military background went into the field of cybersecurity!

Is this common at all in cybersecurity?

This can’t possibly be unintentional right?

Remember an aircraft carrier is not just an airport on a ship, it’s also the intelligence center and CIC of the entire battle group, so an aircraft carrier is equipped with literally the best radar and sensor suites of any vessel in the entire navy, that combined with the sheer number of people that will be on watch duty on such a massive ship, there is simply no possibility it could somehow “accidentally miss” a cargo ship to a point where a collision could happen.

While on the other side, Suez canal is some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so all cargo vessels follow strictly prescribed paths when leaving the canal, there’s no reason for one single exiting ship among a swarm of them to have gone out its way to have a chance to collide with an incoming vessel, one that’s has the best sensor suite as well as some of the most powerful propulsion capabilities.

Am I missing something here???

Counter argument: there is always government funds used inefficiently, there is always accounting practices that can be improved upon, a government system with perfect efficiency or is completely free from economic corruption does not exist. This simple matter of fact is NOT a justification of giving an individual, who’s not an elected governmental official and does not represent the interest of the nation and its people, the authority and power above the entire government, against the constitution.

It’s quite encouraging how these states are all from different parts of the US, with different overall cultural values and political stances, yet they are all united on the same side in this.

I hope this is a good sign something might actually work out here, I really hope

Same!!! Or niche fields of studies, although there’s a lot less serious ones of that kind lol

I think what matters more, or perhaps at least in Valve’s perspective, is that microtransactions are inherently binding between the game’s developer/publisher and the player, so the game’s developer/publisher is the sole party held accountable here (by Valve), while ads inherently involve and invite a 3rd party advertiser, muddying the situation for everybody. While on the other hand, microtransactions can only be done for content already a part of the game, while ads serve content outside the scope of the game.

So this is much much more enforceable for Valve, while DLC and microtransactions marketing is already subject to the established rules on Steam.

Could make for one hell of a redemption arc lol /s

Wow today I learned that’s actually a thing!

Thanks for this package of info! XD

Unfortunately law enforcement is one of the many specific “exceptions” in the new EU bill, the bill is criticized for having many such loopholes for law enforcement and immigration control.

The new EU bill is definitely really important because having such a bill is wayyyy better than having no bill until much later, but I feel like this is going to backfire so much in the near future.

Yes

I’m sorry but if I’ve already paid $60 for a video game, I shouldn’t also be required to make a friend just to be able to experience the entirety of the content this game offers, in the manner it was originally intended to be experienced.

a mess

Is that supposed to be a British way of spelling “disaster”?

He IS the gestapo!

What did you think they meant by “Department of Government Efficiency”?

And a lot of people’s reactions to Trump/Elon getting power were also remarkably similar to a lot of people’s reactions to Hitler getting power back then, especially people who were already in positions of power

That’s the problem actually, they are NOT fools. They are VERY smart and VERY determined adversaries who are determined to destroy the US economy and everything everybody would want to stand for, in order to maximize their own short term gains. They are making highly calculated moves specifically for that goal of theirs.

They are straight up adversaries to American people, they need to be treated as adversaries, and you do NOT ever attempt to underestimate your adversaries.

Right, and your solution to this is to scream and yell and curse around to everyone exactly like that oversized orange colored baby who got elected?

You do understand this affects you in every way possible too even if you are not an American, especially with Russian forces literally right on the door front of the Western Europe, don’t you?

And on top of that, when a bully is punching you, you can’t do nothing and expect them to stop punching you more. That will NEVER work for a bully, instead you have to punch them back sufficiently hard in order to immediately stop them from punching you more or do something even worse, if you could stop them at all. So an immediate retaliatory response is in fact absolutely necessary, and a retaliatory tariff is pretty much the only practical option for an immediate response.

But then again, it’s entirely possible this is exactly what Trump plotted. Damn he really is an adversary to American people and everybody except himself and maybe Putin, so you really have to analyze him accordingly, what a fucked up world we are in now :(
