This is not really a story, is it.

I worked for an Australian company, that was bought by an American company. Instantly we were required to do business as per American law, such as embargo's. We lost many customers (businesses) that honestly had nothing to do with the actual reason for the embargos. For example Iran has an American embargo because of nuclear refinement, but we just wanted to sell "knives and forks" to them. Nope - they might use those forks in their refinement centrifuges... This is what happens (but also why embargos work).

Kaspersky is Russian owned, so the hacks were discovered by Russian [whitehat] hackers. I'll bet that Apple had no ability to do "business" with the company, even if it wanted to, since Russia is currently under embargo due to the Ukraine conflict.

Now if Kaspersky spent time undermining it's own failure of a government, and putting an end to its dictatorship, things would probably work out better for everyone in Russia.

Nothing that some Self Adhesive Vinyl can't fix. They'll have to deal with getting it off the screen afterwards too. Want to fine me for it? Then tell me where you got the data, because I didn't consent to you having my data.

Catholics yes, Protestant no. Both are Christianity. You need to read more, or at least watch some Monty Python.

asymmetric?

Like you've ever trusted a woman that has said "It's okay, I'm on the pill" first time you hit the sheets?

If altar boys could get pregnant, the church would have approved birth control long ago.

I probably should say "IMO".

They played it on a local radio station here yesterday, and even they were mocking it as "not close".

I've listened to it, and it sounds nothing like Scarlett does. I had to find a movie with Scarlett in it to compare with, and I can honestly tell you ChatGPT sounds nothing like Natasha in Black Widow.

(Joke aside, ChatGPT doesn't sound like Scarlett at all).

Meanwhile, many Australians would like to cut WA off with a chainsaw, and push it back to South Africa with all the S.Africans on it.

I'm no html type code expert, but I do code a lot in other languages. I used f12 on a browser to look at what was going on, on the reddit sites and I have never seen such spaghetti code and layers upon layers of adjustments. I have no idea what they are using behind the scenes (php/js etc, again not my expertise) but it has to be an absolute shitshow.

On old old, and old new, I used to use an element picker in uBlock origin etc, to just remove all the bullshit that annoyed me. This actually sped things up! But its not perfect.

Oh this reminds me, if you are trying to get to new.reddit, for the old-new page, I had to delete all those elements as well, then goto new.reddit fresh and sign in. Then do the element pick again.
