Saying "technically incorrect" is downplaying what is really totally incorrect from any reasonable interpretation. There is nothing in that fact check that it's close to what was said. Let's just call it wrong and not try to excuse it
You are not very familiar with this Internet we are on, are you? There are geoblocks everywhere for so many things. For reasons from fraud prevention to politics to every reason in between (e g. do you think that middle east governments didn't scan all emails for objectionable content in early Internet days? Do you think anyone realistically suggested cutting off the links they paid for because of this?)
Ok, are you ascribing a motive of extortion here? You seem to be repeating an awfully simple principle but not making clear what you think the context is. Could you explain what your perspective is here?
If I'm reading that correctly, the court is taking this action after requesting that rumble respond to their requests and rumble has not responded. It's not censorship from the get-go, it's brinkmanship from rumble to get this response, it seems
What makes you think I specifically would think differently about apple? I don't think I've said anything here that would indicate that, so it seems like you're projecting.
The idea of a free Internet is an ideal that is subject to the sovereign laws of the country the packets travel to, and that is playing out here. All I know is that it's important to learn the lessons being taught now in the 2020s where control of the data transmitted to populations is how politics is won
Regarding this answer being posted twice, I guess my edit to the response in the wrong thread wasn't accepted, not much anyone but the mods can do about that now.
Cookie banners are not mandated by law, disclosure of and consent to tracking and capturing private user data and its sharing to third parties is. Cookie banners are just the easiest UX pattern to slap on to an existing website, and lends itself to dark patterns so users blindly click "accept all". There's multiple browser extensions that exist that will automatically opt you out and you never have to see those cookie banners again.
You have too black and white a view of this. It's not about accepting censorship, it's about refining the governing laws. Shouting "Fire" in the theater has always been a good line to draw, and a way to discuss what is healthy vs. not us important.

I don't think you are arguing against the parents position, but for it, while your answers' odd contrarian positioning also exhibits how critical context and caring are to answering questions. Good job, you.
There's also a technical hurdle of the telco can't know where you're coming from over the Internet. The terminate your end of the vowifi call and from there they only charge for the connection as though it originated in their network, which is all they know for sure (that is their SIM and your account that's authenticated from somewhere in the world)
Well, I know at least one provider that looks at your IP's country registration and will block you if they believe it's not domestic: Vodafone Germany. I wouldn't wish their service upon my worst enemies.
Yeah, pinha in the northeast where they're pretty common. In the south, a native seed/nut is called pinha (it's a "pine" nut that is entirely different from the Mediterranean type of pine nut).
IIRC pinha the fruit is not native to Brasil, but to the Indian sub-continent like so many other amazing tropical fruits.
I would suggest for anyone looking for novel fruits in the northeast of Brasil, check out "Ingá", the variety that has the nickname "ice cream bean"[1]
Yep packaging was a nightmare. The fix for a bug in cron could require you to apply a kernel patch and reboot. But not if you had already applied a different kernel patch beforehand for some specific hardware, but which wasn't available except for particular hardware. But if you just install the patch it may succeed! But it didn't really apply, because the solver that figures out your patches ran separately and doesn't run fast enough to be part of the patch process but the patch has its own script that checks whatever separately to determine that. Oh and if you wait a week your process may break because the -20 version of the patch doesn't fix your problem anymore but it superceded the -12 version you were using anyway. But whichever one you apply, you'll have to reboot.
Like, to update cron. Even though through 3 versions of the same patch id, it does and does not fix cron.
Pure insanity with no product focus on user experience.
Why would you want to restrict contributions from people with relevant experience and willingness to share, just because the author ran a spelling and grammar check?
Unless the spelling and grammar is HORRENDOUS people won't really care. Bad English is the words most used language, we all deal with it every day.
Just using your browser's built-in proofreader is enough in 99.9% of the cases.
Using ChatGPT to rewrite your ideas will make them feel formulaic (LLMs have a style and people exposed to them will spot it instantly, like a code smell) and usually needlessly verbose.
You can tell it's AI when it refuses to take a side and equivocally considers issues first on one hand and then the other hand, but can't get the number of fingers right.
Or as ChatGPT would put it:
Precise grammar and spelling are undeniably important, but minor imperfections in English rarely obstruct communication. As the most widely used language in the world, English is highly flexible, and most people navigate small errors without issue. For the majority of cases, a browser’s built-in proofreader is entirely sufficient.
On one hand, tools like ChatGPT can be valuable for refining text and ensuring clarity. On the other hand, frequent reliance on such tools can result in writing that feels formulaic, especially to those familiar with AI-generated styles. Balancing the benefits of polished phrasing with the authenticity of your own voice is often the most effective approach.
I could actually hear the different voices in my head as I read the second and third paragraphs, distinct from the first. Your assessment of the unable-to-take-a-side is spot on for OpenAI, possibly Gemini too, but not for all LLMs.
It’s overkill for this audience. HN is pretty forgiving of spelling and grammar mistakes, so long as the main information is clear. I’d encourage anyone that wants to share a comment here to not use an LLM to help, but just try your best to write it out yourself.
Really - your comment on its own is good enough without the LLM. (And if you find an error, you can always edit!)
If we really wanted ChatGPT’s input on a topic (or a rewording of your comment), we can always ask ChatGPT ourselves.
Everyone claims it’s a spelling and grammar check, but it’s the OP trying to spread “we tried running self-managed clusters on Hetzner and it only saved us 20% while being a chore in terms of upkeep” into a full essay that causes all that annoying filler.
You’d assume people would use tools to deliver a better and well composed message; whereas most people try to use LLMs to decompress their text into an inefficient representation. Why this is I have no idea, but I’d rather have the raw unfiltered thought from a fellow human rather than someone trying to sound fancy and important.
Not to say I still find the 20% claim a little suspect.
