Malware’s definition:

Malicious computer software that interferes with normal computer functions or sends personal data about the user to unauthorized parties over the Internet.

Any forced update that increases data collection without consent or intentionally breaks previous functionality being pushed out to millions of people should result in multi-decade prison sentences for cybercrimes.

Oh, so mobile-only.

How did you do that?

I hate that YouTube Music keeps trying to make me waste my bandwidth on videos that have worse audio quality than when it just plays the song. 0/10 smoothbrain design, probably just to sell more video ads.

My point was that using the Sun, Earth, or really any object as a reference is arbitrary and the “same position” at two different points in time is completely undefined.

Actually 🤓, position and velocity are relative, so that’s a nonsensical statement without defining a reference object for the Earth’s position. If we’re not assuming you end up safely on dry land, you could just as easily end up light-years away as wherever you were relative to the sun.

It doesn’t sound like they typically check for most items, just the expensive ones and the date on the receipt. That makes it even more theater and less practical.

Of course, it’s perfectly reasonable that if you know someone stole something, you can stop them. Under the prerequisite conditions section, it is stated that:

The shopkeeper has reasonable grounds to suspect the particular person detained is shoplifting.

Wouldn’t that mean that someone who has done nothing suspicious other than refusing the check would not be giving anyone reasonable grounds to stop them? Or does just refusing count as reasonable grounds and make the check effectively legally mandatory?

someone who can is waiting(and the salarymen can, shopkeeper’s privilege apparently in the US)

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve never heard of it.

Captchas are actually a great tool for reducing spam and botting. Depending on the platform, they can directly benefit you. Captchas and manual approval for Lemmy account signups are directly responsible for the lack of spambots on this platform. The problem is that captchas got co-opted to force people to give companies free AI training data.

It should be illegal to revoke or modify people’s purchases. All games should be able to be kept and played using the version you bought it at except maybe MMOs due to technical reasons. Forced updates and DRM need to be outlawed.

Could a state order all businesses operating in that state to stop paying taxes?

That would mean that the corporations basically paid people’s taxes for them, right? Wouldn’t that just get factored into salaries?

I guess it would, at most, only work with people who get paid from the same state.

This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks! A simple “no” wasn’t very informative.

I don’t mean legally. I mean “just doing it” regardless of the law.

Too many people think that everyone in the US deserves to suffer just because 23% of us voted for the Orange Shitstain, and that’s if you believe nobody “found” him some extra votes.

The real problem with AI is that you have to be so damn skeptical even of real posts.

Why does the flag have no stars?

Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
