Doesn’t look like the actual letters were ever released. But let’s be real here, all they had to do was ask, just like the admins that came before them.

administrative subpoenas do not require approval from a judge before they are issued
WTF is the point of warrants if we just don’t need them?

The current administration didn’t tell anyone they had to remove anything either, AFAIK. But it can be considered curtailing freedom of speech to ask.

I don’t think you understand. Planetary gears have nothing to do with how the vehicle shifts.
- Comment on Correlating Electric Cars With Better Air Quality 1 day ago:
Planetary gears have been used in automatic transmissions for as long as they have existed. I think you’re thinking of CVTs.

Pretty sure the weight has a significant impact on tire wear…
- Comment on Correlating Electric Cars With Better Air Quality 1 day ago:
I’m sure it’s true for the 9k+ lb. Hummer EV and Silverados but my sedan is as light or lighter than ICE vehicles in it’s class.

You want trust? Maybe stop pushing all your first party products and subscriptions and stop lying about imperative security features for the next 10 years and I’ll think about it.

- Comment on Major European Payment Processor Can't Send Email to Google Workspace Users 2 days ago:
TL;DR: Viva.com, one of Europe’s largest payment processors, sends verification emails without a Message-ID header — a recommendation of RFC 5322 since 2008. Google Workspace rejects them outright. Viva’s support team’s response to my detailed bug report: “your account has a verified email, so there’s no problem.”

That’s very clearly not what I said or insinuated in any way.

That’s a nice idea. In reality most people have to take whatever they can get, and all 3 are using AI screening, because all the applicants are using AI submissions to spam the entire job market with their lazy applications.

I have the life experience and mental development that enables me to control myself
That’s good for you but most adults clearly don’t have that either. And as you know we all reap the benefits of others’ poor choices. So fuck them? And fuck us all as a society? Fuck anyone over the age of 17?
If you start applying these kinds of restrictions to all adults you end up like the UK and Republican states where you have to pass a job-interview-style screening to open pornhub.com.
I am implying they should be applied unilaterally, not only to adults, and not only to children.

So YouTube Kids and Facebook Discovery are the only platforms in question then?

Why does everyone talk about children as if adults aren’t susceptible to the same mechanisms?

It passed the test in a simulated environment. Put it back where it was in reality and prove it to me there.

- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 4 days ago:
Okay so they know what Discord is, but they don’t know what IRC is, despite it being 20 years older. What does that tell you?
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 4 days ago:
You didn’t provide any evidence that it wasn’t misleading. Discord was clearly intended to replace communities like IRC, Ventrilo and TeamSpeak so they used language that was familiar to them, even though it was completely incorrect.

Yeah, clearly everyone loves IRC, that’s why no one uses Discord /s
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 4 days ago:
I love that Discourse is open. I hate that it’s just horrendous from a usability perspective. Flarum is much better than that, in my opinion, while being way more flexible. Examples:
