I hope everyone you know is doing okay but I don’t think Google is really flexing that the alert system didn’t work. Tech isn’t perfect but the system has worked with other earthquakes. If anything we can hope the tech gets better because this event will highlight gaps.

Oh okay, I didn’t see any mention of HHI in the article but I’m glad smaller companies can still do what’s necessary (including merging) in order to compete

Sounds like they have no intention to:

And to all the armchair lawyers out there, the letter to Valve did not make any claims that we were violating a US copyright by including the Wii Common Key, as a short string of entirely random letters and numbers generated by a machine is not copyrightable under current US copyright law. If that ever changes, the world will be far too busy to think about emulation.

These guidelines are written in a way that seem like mergers shouldn’t be allowed at all. Mergers should be examined but it sometimes benefits both the public and the companies involved when two smaller companies are combined to go against a market dominator.

If you don’t want to trust Wagner (and I don’t blame you) this part of the article has another relevant fact:

U.S. intelligence said in February that Wagner had at that point suffered 30,000 casualties in Ukraine, including 9,000 deaths.

Money is one thing. The speed of production is another

Glad to see Lemmy is responding quick to exploits. Does Lemmy have a plan to prevent any other exploits that may be lying around such as a routine security audit?

I’m not saying I agree with using these either but I heard on TV that the reason cluster munitions were being provided is because those are readily available and the weapons needed by Ukraine can’t be met without them at this time.

So this article is from 2021. Does anyone know what actually happened? I’m assuming the source code was never made public and nothing bad happened to truth social but I’d love to be proven wrong.
