Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine
  • Another thing not being considered by all the "judge doesn't know anything" crowd is that they're failing to consider that this case isn't really about search engines or Alphabet as a company.

    It's about monopoly laws. In this case, pertaining to Google and Mozilla, but monopolies nonetheless.

  • You'll never believe who Oprah brought into the mainstream.

    I'll give you a hint: literally all 3 of the people being talked about (Dr Phil, Dr. Oz, and Jenny McCarthy)

  • Well this aged like milk.
  • A surprise to everyone except anybody who listened to American intelligence agencies who were broadcasting (very loudly I might add) exactly when and how it would happen.

  • No pets allowed: New Publix signs met with mixed reviews for telling customers to keep pets out of stores
  • Severe anxiety and PTSD can qualify as disabilities, and therefore can have a service animal.

    A service animal is trained to perform a specific task that allows a person with a disability to perform normal daily activities. For PTSD and anxiety this action can be (but isn't limited to) detecting the onset of a panic attack and providing direct physical stimulation/grounding.

    An emotional support animal is one that isn't trained for a task and whose presence makes the person with a disabling condition better (e.g. someone with anxiety is generally less anxious with their cat around).

    ESA's are not protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (or equivalent in most other countries) while service animals are.

    Also, a service animal can be any type of dog. Yes, even a pug can be a service animal if it is trained to do a task. No, training does not have to be done by an expensive service.

  • The only one giving decent controlled responses here was, as I sort of expected, the new CEO. Everyone else I got the fake apology vibe, especially from Yvonne.

    Terran has his work cut out for him, and I don't really blame him for taking 6 weeks to be a fly on the wall (it's generally good to learn the current process before coming in and making massive changes) but this week has not been good for LMG and we will see if he manages to make something good from this experience.

    Especially things like the Madison situation. I could see him being unaware of it until now, but now it's time to address that as well.

  • Madison on why she quit
  • Holy shit.

    So much of what she says is not just horrifying (seriously, feeling the need to hospitalize yourself for a day off), but also straight up illegal.

    Retribution, hostile work environment, straight up harassment, not to mention evidence of "constructive dismissal". (I'm using US terms but I know these have equivalent laws in Canada)

    I've had some pretty bad jobs that have destroyed my mental health, but none of them come close to what Madison is describing here and I am so happy that this is coming out. This is the sort of thing people need to know about LTT and LMG.

  • GN spends the first segment of their GN News to responding to Linus's comments, and reveals that Linus mislead people on the Billet compensation.
  • I mean I completely agree with you in that the semantic bullshit is bullshit, my point was that Linus wasn't even correct in his attempt at BS because GN didn't use the word "sold". GN used the same word that Linus is attempting to say is totally different.

  • The Guardian have quietly added a paywall
  • I start paying local news after about 1 article per day, and usually more like $20/month not the £10 they're asking for.

    Pay up or stop expecting them to give you unlimited service for free.

    Hell, I'm paying my local union paper $25/month to support their strike against their corporation and I hardly read their stuff at all.
