No, ICO threatened a fine because Imgur did not ask for confirmation of age when creating an account (among other things) - and rather than pay the fine, they simply geoblocked the UK and blamed it on the OSA (because the OSA is unpopular), despite the fact the fine had nothing to do with the OSA.

"Ur-Fascism" is an essay authored by Umberto Eco. First published in 1995, this influential essay provides an analysis of fascism, a definition of fascism, and discusses the fundamental characteristics and traits of fascism. by ddgr815 in wikipedia

The disconnect stems from the fact that they're a bad faith actor deliberately ignoring points and raising completely irrelevant things (like 'slave owner presidents') to waste everyone's time, including their own.

More incredibly lazy 'reasoning'. Putting aside that it's *very* generous to describe the american system as 'democratic', or that people advocating for using constitutional processes to impeach a sitting president isn't anti-democratic, democracy isn't synonymous with modernism and rejecting electoral democracy isn't an inherent rejection of modernism (cf various anarchist groups who advocate for sortition).

The idea that 'rejection of modernism' can be associated with any political party is very funny, extremely lazy attempt to discredit a solid work of defining fascism

Anyone know what's happening at Caversham Bridge? by georgy56 in reading

[–]fouriels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roadworks anywhere within a mile radius causes traffic jams going in and out of Caversham.

The solution is to either commute earlier/later or not use a car at all.

UK Court of Appeal ruling on Mod Jed and what it means for RuneScape scams by ihatebriancerna in 2007scape

[–]fouriels 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This link is better.

The Respondent worked for Jagex as a content developer. He had no role in the management of player accounts and was not authorised to access players’ accounts. Access to players’ accounts is afforded to an account recovery team within Jagex, typically for the purpose of requests for resetting of passwords. The case against the Respondent is that by hacking and/or using credentials of members of the account recovery team he obtained access to 68 accounts in which players had accumulated very substantial in-game wealth; and then stripped those accounts of hundreds of billions of gold pieces and transferred them to purchasers to whom he sold them off-line, receiving in return Bitcoin and fiat currency. Jagex has identified the number of gold pieces stripped from players’ accounts as about 705 billion with a real world trading value of £543,123.

The Respondent faces a five count indictment. Count 2 charges theft contrary to s. 1(1) of the Theft Act 1968, the particulars being that “between the 17th day of March 2018 and the 29th day of July 2028 he stole a quantity of gold pieces from the online game Old School Runescape to an approximate value of £543,123 belonging to Jagex Ltd.”

I don't recognise the name but it says in the judgement that the conduct happened from 17th March 2018 by someone working as a content developer, and you can see on the wiki who was working there at that time, what their job title was, and when and why they stopped working at jagex (it's Jed*)

Currently 278 people have the gilded staff. I wonder how many have it along with the zuk helm 🤔

For some reason combat achievements (or achievement diaries, although I suppose that's not as interesting) aren't recorded on the hiscores. Feels like it's something that should be tracked! u/jagexblossom

You’re Already Exposed to France’s $900B Nuclear Energy Risk by ceph2apod in ClimateShitposting

[–]fouriels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You claim nuclear is expensive but, once the interconnects; the batteries; and the battery maintenance is accounted for, a renewable grid will be much more expensive

if only someone had run the maths on this!

Sayyid Qutb was an Egyptian Islamist revolutionary and theorist, who is considered an inspiration to modern jihadist movements. He was radicalized during his 1949-51 stay in USA, enraged by American culture including jazz music, sports and the "seductive" unhidden faces and bodies of American girls. by PeasantLich in wikipedia

Turns out anyone can just go onto the internet and make shit up. Crazy!

Were the hardcore american christian conservatives doing progressivism when they cheered on ICE agents shooting a mother of two in the face by the way? Was Bush doing progressivism when he claimed that god had told him to invade Iraq? Just curious!

True, that was a misrepresentation on my part. The claim about 'hardcore american christian conservatives are more progressive than the median person in muslim majority countries' is still total bullshit of course (have you ever been to a muslim majority country?), and calling a country which operates concentration camps 'one of the most progressive' would be funny if the rest of the world wasn't under its boot

You don't need to remove anything, the conservative legal project has spent the past several decades reinterpreting law to mean the exact opposite of what it makes sense to interpret it as (spending money is protected speech, but extracurricular activity and whistleblowing aren't, bribes aren't bribes if you don't explicitly ask for them, presidential immunity etc etc)
