Yandex has the best image search, and others are years behind it. Further more Nebius has sold all group’s businesses in Russia and certain international market. They are completely divested from Russia for a 1.5 years already: https://nebius.com/newsroom/ynv-announces-successful-complet...

The post you linked was posted when the divestment was already going underway, so it is at least dishonest if not malicious.

> Second, even if I installed a VPN on my main machine, what about my phone? My laptop? My desktop?

Also, Imgur blocks many VPN IPs. I use Mullvad and I have not yet found a single Mullvad IP that can access Imgur.

Yes, they were only not taken down because french LE did not properly follow the legal process (which was set by the EU btw), and didn't send their requests to the correct email. Of course Telegram is ignoring informal requests.

I am currently trying to sell a brand new DDR5 6000 64GB CL 28-36-36-96 kit for 100€ below market prices with warranty (I purchased it 3 months ago, and never opened it as I figured I don't need 128GB in my PC.)

But it's just not selling. I guess most people don't even check ebay, and go straight to hardware online retailers.

It feels like Valve's management changed a few years (decade?) ago. I remember when they were still shipping SDKs and proper mod support, even for their multiplayer games. Today they are just killing everything that could divert revenue from their cash cow CS2 and shipping a half baked js-based scripting engine for their maps. (And in the meanwhile they kill fan projects like CS:Legacy, which is a whole game and not even a mod, with their army of lawyers. I don't think stuff like this would have happened 13+ years ago).

The author is completely ignoring that you didn't have to BUY these hats. For example, you could (and still can) craft the Milkman hat with 1 refined metal + 1 special delivery weapon.

That is simply not true. Hats have always been cosmetics only.

Some unusual hats even give you a disadvantage as they broadcast your position through sounds.

Can you share the projects? In most cases it is very, very easy to comply with the *"random laws" (not that GDPR is much different from California's CPRA. Are you blocking Californian users too?)

None. I don't use the DM feature at all.

Yes, it's unfortunately a trend to throw e-scooters into rivers. Unfortunately the government is still not collecting stats about this vandalism. Throwing e-scooters with batteries into rivers is dangerous, because the batteries contain poisonous metals. Unfortunately many people appreciate it when people throw these scooters into the river, because they are "annoyed be them when they are standing in their way on the sidewalk".

Some links:

The author sounds exactly like I expect a non-profit director to be asking the community of their opinion. I wish Wikimedia would act like this. I find the author's behavior excellent.

Don't worry. While we don't have the shopping card issue in Germany, we do have the escooter-in-river issue!

Here its mostly teens who throw rental escooters into rivers.

They locked my account for "being inauthentic" (code word for bot?), and aren't replying to my ban appeals either. I think their support is dead.

At that age I couldn't even code. Keep it up, young man :)

I just read the MDN article of WS and you are right: WT is indeed treated as the successor of WS (in many use cases), which I did not expect at all: 'Additionally, the WebTransport API is expected to replace the WebSocket API for many applications. WebTransport is a versatile, low-level API that provides backpressure and many other features not supported by either WebSocket or WebSocketStream, such as unidirectional streams, out-of-order delivery, and unreliable data transmission via datagrams.'

The ID card allows age verification without disclosing the identity to the service which needs the age verified.

I hope they can differentiate between social media and social networks.

Microsoft has been strong in Bavaria since Ballmer visited them to sell them Office after his vacation in Switzerland in the 2000s.

I don't think the UK is interested in a ballroom. The UK blocked that deal, not the US.

Nvidia is already doing that under MGX. They also offer their Grace CPUs on that platform.

Really? I find the font very nice on my Pixel XL. It doesn't take too much space unlike all other modern websites.

I think reading the comments on this HN post will give you a different perspective: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45453586

The main buyers of gold in recent months have been Asian Central banjs, as China is building its own Fort Knox. China alone bought 5t gold this quarter.

Missed opportunity for "Pi thon 3.14 is here. How fast is it?"

That's not the Telegram Token.

At least some transparency would be nice. It feels like they are serving less intelligent models labelled as more intelligent ones during peak times.

I understood Powell in Jackson Hole that the FED is dropping the 2% inflation target.

I was always a fan of not per stream but of percentage based minutes listened. I spend 15€ every month, take off taxes and Spotify operating expenses, which would be like 10€ left: - I listen to X 90% of my total listening minutes this month, so they get 9€.

- I listen to Y 10% of my total listening minutes this month, so they get 1€

I think this would be fair, because I kinda listen the same minutes every month, and most people with a fixed daily schedule probably do it too.

Telegram has recently proven that there is still demand for this stuff.

I use crypto often. I can pay my server with it, I can pay my domains with it, I support my torrent ALT with it, I buy my drugs with it.

People use it for selling accounts, usernames, cheats and probably much more for it. Many of these also use Stripe (major cheat providers offer payments via Stripe and crypto, so why shouldn't Stripe also try to capture the value of Crypto payments?).
