Judge formally says Trump owes $454 million in civil fraud case, countdown starts for him to put up the money for appeal (www.cnn.com)

A New York judge on Friday formally ordered Donald Trump to pay $454 million, including interest, a move that will give the former president one month to post nearly half a billion dollars to appeal the fraud verdict....

Maybe to avoid having the defendant spend all their money appealing the judgment, which in case of a negative result could impact their ability to pay the fine.

“Cox ring” sounds like “cock ring”, which is a sex toy.

That’s developed by GameFreak, not Nintendo.

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

“ente Verification Code” also looks like a misspelling of “Enter Verification Code”. Might also be tripping something up.

Spotify just changed their TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks (storyfair.net)

They frame it as though it’s for user content, more likely it’s to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.

IIRC this is because Spotify wants to generate translations for these audiobooks in the original voices. At least, that’s what I think I remember from a long time ago.

Then they’re choosing which parts of the book to follow based on their own morality, disproving that the Bible is the source of their morality.

Protesting for the right of Palestine to exist and not have thousands of their children bombed to death can hardly equate to support for Hamas.

Palestinian support for Hamas rises as Israel bombs them, their houses and their families. This suggests that supporting Hamas is an act of desperation for the Palestinians, as to them Hamas are simply the only group that actually do something against what they perceive as the Israeli oppressors.

Regardless, the vast majority of protestors would like to see a two-state solution that brings lasting peace to the region, with Hamas as well as Israeli warhawks removed from power. That doesn’t really equate to support for Hamas at all.

Strange, it’s the exact opposite for me. Moon in dark mode, sun in light mode.

Aren’t religion checks more about straight facts about various religions?

In theory yes, but as there are many different video recorders, going with a super high refresh rate could be a better catch-all so to speak.

If your code takes up so much horizontal space with 4-space tabs, you’re putting too much on one line or indenting too deep. 4-space tabs keeps your line length manageable.

Lovecraft’s racism is very much a product of fear, not racial superiority. Dude was extraordinarily terrified of everything remotely foreign. It’s why “strange creatures that are vaguely human but completely incomprehensible” is the generic terror in his stories.

In that sense, I find the motivations for his racism far less terrible than the motivations a racial supremacist has.

Enormous Elizabeth could also work I guess.

They put money in Bitcoin, but not the tech behind it. To them it’s just stocks to be manipulated in order to get a profit.

Findroid does lack Chromecast support and theme music in the library it seems. Other than that it does look good!

Chromecast support is on hold because F-droid doesn’t allow gms proprietary libraries: github.com/jarnedemeulemeester/findroid/pull/139

The creator deems theme music to be “annoying” so they won’t add it: github.com/jarnedemeulemeester/findroid/…/105

So no dice, it seems.

Kik, as in “kickstart”. Makes sense for templating.

Still, Kik could have easily named their package “kik-messenger” or something. Would have been much clearer.

Minority rights should be protected by a strong constitution, which is what is lacking in Israel.

The Netherlands also has proportional representation but with a strong constitution, and minority rights are perfectly protected.

It’s a different mod just like Pixelmon, but imo a lot better and a lot more charming than Pixelmon ever was.
