Use boost. It’s awesome.

Are they just hiring Cuban physicians for pennies?

Communism is incredibly helpful if you are a capitalist and want to pay slave wages to its refugees.

You aren’t supporting them by accepting free games and then not using them. It costs them money to give them to you.

I think the lemmy community is great as it is!

It’s certain that of the 120 million that remain, a huge number are bots or spam accounts of some kind. They will be there last “users” to quit the platform. And Elon will be happy to collect ad money to show those bots your ads until the very end.

From the article:

The problem of Excel software (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, USA) inadvertently converting gene symbols to dates and floating-point numbers was originally described in 2004 [1]. For example, gene symbols such as SEPT2 (Septin 2) and MARCH1 [Membrane-Associated Ring Finger (C3HC4) 1, E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase] are converted by default to ‘2-Sep’ and ‘1-Mar’, respectively. Furthermore, RIKEN identifiers were described to be automatically converted to floating point numbers (i.e. from accession ‘2310009E13’ to ‘2.31E+13’). Since that report, we have uncovered further instances where gene symbols were converted to dates in supplementary data of recently published papers (e.g. ‘SEPT2’ converted to ‘2006/09/02’). This suggests that gene name errors continue to be a problem in supplementary files accompanying articles.

Same thing happened to me, initially, when 404 media created their site.

The name is clever, but it has to hurt them in exactly this way.

Genocide

Windows 11 isn’t a particularly bad version of Windows by any stretch of the imagination. Some elements of the user interface might grate a little, and there will always be users for whom one design choice or another will be loudly rejected – there were those, after all, who raged at the imposition of the Start Menu over the Program Manager of old. But the operating system itself is… fine.

The enshitification of Windows has been going on a long time.

I don’t want the latest flavor in my devices.

How is this not a criminal civil rights violation?

Like the MCU, I’m just tired of star wars.

I never want to hear about the universe again.

Your point is not unique: all websites require your trust.

So if that’s your threat model you can’t use any search engine.

But if we want to put that aside and discuss their stated policy, then the link I provided addressed the parent statement that

In some cases they must retain the information. Like your ISP in the USA had to retain data for le purposes.

Which directly refutes that there is any such requirement.

Your statement contradicts their stated policy, and I’m not aware of any such requirement in the US.

IP retention is addressed in the first paragraph under “privacy policy”, and it stated they don’t save or log it.

Putative: pyoo͞′tə-tĭv adjective Generally regarded as such; supposed. Commonly thought or deemed; supposed; reputed. Commonly believed or deemed to be the case; accepted by supposition rather than as a result of proof.

Right, they must respond to a subpoena. But they don’t retain search records, do they?

Duck duck go protects you from this, correct?

Why would anyone use Google after this precedent?
