As far as I understand, they were offering free hosting and bad actors took advantage. They didn't want to start charging so they closed down. Like giving out candies on Halloween and one asshole takes the whole bowl. No candies for you kid, sorry.

If it's anything like my house, they probably carpeted it because they were too lazy to plaster and paint

Could it be hiding pipes? Is there a sink or bath behind this closet?

I'm assuming the increased data usage comes from fetching the content directly from the source where large images or videos might be allowed, whereas on Reddit this stuff was compressed and had limited sizes

Not piracy but I appreciate the meme. It's like someone handing you a book with a sticker on it that says "don't read!". You rip the sticker off and read it anyway. If you didn't want me to read it, then why did you hand me the book!

Même si on avait une grosse barre rouge sur la page disant FAUSSE SOURCE, ALLEZ SUR LE VRAI SITE! L'utilisateur normal ignorerait ça de toute façon. C'est une question de manque de bon sens. Les gens ne comprennent pas ce qui est objectivement vrai de ce qui est faux et conçu pour manipuler. Ils croient à tout ce qu'ils voient. Combien de gens sont pris dans une boucle de mésinformation sur qanon ou peu importe et croient que c'est vrai parce que "tous les vidéos en parlent". Oui! C'est parce que tu les regardes que tu continues à en voir.

As a user of a small TKL keyboard, I can say from my own experience having a small keyboard makes it easy and less strenuous to switch between the mouse and keyboard since they are so close together. I also find I don't really miss the extra keys, I can do my job just fine if not better without them, because of the added benefit of moving fast.

This makes me so sad. The movie was really great, I loved every part of it and am even looking forward to watching it again when it comes out at home. It's unfortunate that marketing dropped the ball so badly.

It's kind of obvious focusing on the love story is the wrong angle here, what really resonated with me is the city, the amazing animation and the underlying message about finding yourself, the sacrifices of immigrant families and the love of a parent towards their child over their own dreams.

What a shame that execs had to ruin what was a really good work of art with a misguided and confused marketing campaign.

Comment fera-t-on pour savoir que ce n’est pas un vrai reportage? Ce sera difficile, souligne François Charron.

C'est bien simple. Est-ce que tu es en train de regarder Radio Canada ou bien un vidéo sur Facebook? Les gens prennent trop au sérieux ce qu'ils voient en ligne. Il faut assumer que tout est faux et se fier sur une source de confiance pour les vraies nouvelles. Où sinon il faut apprendre à rationaliser et faire ses propres recherches.

Oh cool, I'm too lazy to read but what would that mean in terms of resources? Is it going to take an insane amount of memory or just take a long time to process longer chains?

Maybe that was their game with the federation stuff. "Hey we didn't start this, we were just following suit on this open source project". Anyway this logic wouldn't fly in any court, they can't have a copyright on text-based social media. They can only own their branding. Musk is just throwing a hissy fit again
