Under the terms of the settlement, obtained by Bloomberg Law, Alphabet will spend $500 million over the next 10 years on systematic reforms. The company will have to form a board-level committee devoted to overseeing the company’s regulatory compliance and antitrust risk, a rarity for US firms. This group will report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai. There will also be reforms at other levels of the company that allow employees to identify potential legal pitfalls before they affect the company. Google has also agreed to preserve communications. Google’s propensity to use auto-deleting chats drew condemnation from several judges overseeing its antitrust cases.

My brain autocorrected so hard I didn’t realize it was wrong until this comment.

The closest I’ve seen is those videos where they have to censor it and send you to Patreon for the full version.

Not if they’re the kind of users my parents are. An update moves a button from the bottom-left to the bottom-right and suddenly “the app you gave me is broken again”.

Also, don’t sneak-change things on other people’s phones.

This is his third term as a senator.

WTF Texas?

Back in 2018, Steam stated its approach to content on its platform was "to allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling".

…

A social media account linked on Steam to the game’s developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine’s refusal to surrender will provide “a lot of content to make more missions in our game”.

I’m pretty sure that qualifies.

Meanwhile, guy who can’t read: that sign can’t stop me!

I don’t think it’s meant to be funny.

It is, however, pretty rad.

@ZDL is a bot account?

Set up a global bounty GoFundMe that anyone can contribute to anonymously.

It keeps an up-to-date ranking of everyone worth over 1 billion, and pays out to anyone who removes someone from the list.

Slight tangent: Would blocking still work if they tried to send nudes via Snapchat?

I’m not “asking for a friend,” I’m just curious how effective this feature could possibly be.

There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.

I like this in theory. But I know in practice some idiots will always manage to get their hands on the curriculum.

These are the total numbers and includes the at-risk games. Which may not be helpful to some, since the fate of those games is unknown.

Starting to sound like you do think there’s a stringent definition of what a meme is.

…Dead games, which means no one on Earth can currently play the game. It’s not possible…

…At-risk games, which means these games are currently working, but they’re designed in such a way that the second the publisher ends support, they will become dead games without some sort of intervention…

…Dev Preserved, which means the game would have died, but the publisher or developer implemented some sort of endof life plan, so now the game is safe…

…Fan Preserved, where the publisher did nothing or practically nothing to save the game, but fans managed to either hack it to remove dependencies or reverse engineer a server emulator so that the game was saved in spite of the publisher actions.

There is no stringent definition of what a meme is or can be

Then by my personal definition (not Merriam whatever), it doesn’t feel like a meme.

If it’s a meme to you, that’s fine, too.

Which is fine.

I just don’t think it’s a meme.
