Or maybe, just maybe, fine companies that commit criminal acts.
There really is a fine line between turning into an authoritarian regime and doing basic police work, right?

Twitter is not the sole, or even the biggest social media company in Europe. It’s not even in the top 3.
The advertisement sector will be fine.
- Comment on Would there be any merit in the idea of NATO waging a "benevolent war" (for lack of a better term) against Ukraine? 4 days ago:
or, if I’m mistaken, replace NATO with any other military alliance Ukraine would want to join
This is essentially what the Ukraine EU accession talks are about. The EU is the military alliance they want to join, and it is actually even more protective than the NATO.
So the question isn’t stupid, Ukraine actually wants this, the EU is of two minds about it so far.
- Comment on Would there be any merit in the idea of NATO waging a "benevolent war" (for lack of a better term) against Ukraine? 4 days ago:
even then calling it an organization is not really that accurate
It is an organization, you can go work for the NATO directly. They are headquartered in Brussels.
That said, military intervention on behalf of NATO works as you described, but there would be an obligation to help Canada in your example if the war would spread to its home soil. That said, the help obligation is literally worded “as they deem necessary”, so they could pretend that no large-scale intervention is necessary.

So that means that since bacteria and the like outnumber us by orders of magnitude, statistically speaking, multicellular life would be wiped out completely.

So if Nintendo wins, could Google buy the PUBG IP and use it to sue for Fortnite and destroy Epic?
There can be only one game of every genre made! \s

- Comment on Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era 3 weeks ago:
I’m running Fedora KDE on a Framework laptop and a custom built machine, but they are all AMD so IDK about Nvidia cards.
As I’ve heard Nvidia nowadays releases Linux drivers.
TBH I haven’t had any problems installing and using Linux for years now, I think just go for it and see what happens.
- Comment on Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era 3 weeks ago:
My current Linux machine needed exactly zero config post install, and even stuff like the fingerprint reader is working, I’m using it instead of passwords in a terminal.
I can also play games pretty well, it’s usually smoother and less buggy than on Windows.
I feel Linux is not a compromise for me anymore, Windows is fast becoming one though.

Making it super simple, it runs with full access on your machine, always. It can fuck anything up, and see everything. It can get your browser history, banking details or private messages you enter, activate your webcam or mic without you knowing, or brick your computer even.
And you can’t even check what it’s really doing on your computer because it’s a crime under US law.

- Comment on I hate that that happens 3 weeks ago:
It’s basically a mishmash of Ancient Ugric, Turkish, German, Slavic and Romani words with grammar that is an eldritch monstrosity, nobody really knows where it came from, and it is seriously weird.
There are only two real tenses, but nineteen cases and two different ways of doing imperative, which are kind of equivalent but carry cultural and tonal differences in certain contexts.

Some Hungarian prefixes can be piled on without limit, while still creating meaning.
The word “úszni” means “to swim”.
Úsztatni - to make someone or someone swim
Úsztattatni - to make someone make someone swim
Úsztattattattattattattattattattni - to make someone make someone make someone … make someone swimCan be done with any verb, and maybe some other suffixes as well.

- Comment on Who all wants a silent spring? 4 weeks ago:
It’s literally just that the language uses compound words constructed on the spot, as opposed to compound phrases. When you say “insect death”, German grammar just dictates that if it’s written without prepositions as “insect death” and not “the death of insects”, you have to write it in one word.
The same works in Hungarian as well. “The death of insects” would be “a rovarok halálozása”, while “insect death” has to be written as “rovarhalálozás”. Every compound phrase without a preposition to clarify the relationship of the words becomes a compound word.
Actually, Hungarian is even worse, because prepositions and some other stuff also become suffixes, and are thus attached to the word. So the phrase “happening at the time when insect death is caused” can be translated word for word as “a rovarok halálának okozásának idejében történő”, but it is equally right, and more succinct to use the adjective “rovarhaláloztatáskori”.
