@npub1lrv…tth9 Actually you'll be shocked, but in some places (e.g. the EU) social media is regulated, so no, seizing people's accounts is not something the owner of a very large platform is allowed to do just because, he has to follow his own, well reasoned rules.
And impersonating the user afterwards is still frowned upon.

Just because the #FPO has half hidden #Kickl and made him eat like a human with knife, fork and spoon, does not change the fact that his is the party of the repeated isolated cases. Just yesterday I think some of his politicians happened to be at a funeral of a fraternity brother, where good old SS songs were sung. Sadly, the available videos are not clear enough to see if the FPÖ guys have also been actively singing.

Exactly.
The point is, the current net worth estimate is around 2500m. He has over 500m in rulings against him already.
500m that's 20% of his net worth estimate.
These 500m will get court collectible in a week or so.

@npub1jnh…lfd7 @npub1lrv…tth9 Yeah.
According to the Forbes estimates, he's worth $2.6b. Much of that in real estate, which is challenging to sell.
With a fire sale, that might liquidate to $500m or not.
(E.g. Benko bankruptcy that is heavy on "premium" commercial estate is estimated in an absolute best case at a 30% payout after 5 years slow sellout. Or below 10% for a fire sale.)
Basically, this fine, wipes out the Trump wealth.

@npub1sly…t8j7 f%ck you.
Do you want the theoretically correct answer (you know the one that gets you 100% in uni), the one that is practical and works (but assumes certain constrains and might thus not be overly portable, but at least you can show it in polite company with embarrassment) or do you want the line up of horror freaks that I've seen in real life, where you need psychological therapy after dealing with them?

@npub1lrv…tth9 You are not exactly correct.
Even Fuhrer Trump will keep a number of pet “court journalists”.

@npub15zu…s7lx Putin doesn't need mothers nor wifes either, so if they end up in a gulag or dead, 🤷

Well, let's be honest.
Rape is a highly woke invented crime by feminists.
Problem solved.

Why?
It's not in their interest.
As cynically as it sounds, the news linking toll actually raises the entry costs for any potential agile startup competitor.
100m is peanuts for Google. But it will keep a number of irritating disruptors from even getting under way.
Mission accomplished.

@npub1j8m…v5r7 Absolutely.
It's a fucked up situation, and Hamas is certainly a huge problem. They literally teach the "protocols of Zion" as real & true in school. Which is a joke considering that even the Nazis didn't take more than 2 years or so to prove them as fake (didn't keep them from using them for propaganda, btw).
OTOH, the Israeli government has not really helped either, some current ministers have called the Hamas literally Israel's biggest asset (admittedly before being in gov)

@npub1lrv…tth9 Interesting is also that some pro-Putin journalists (so-called Putin & Russia experts) turned out to be sponsored Russian oligarchs.
A little conflict of interest that is usually not mentioned.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Sorry, higher education, especially in countries with the US/UK tradition, is a trillion-dollar business. (US alone is slightly below $900b)
Arguably they have been a business for a long time, BUT in the past decades it's rather clear.

@npub1sqf…5skr 🤷 So they will now sell it to a private party first, that resells it to the Feds? “The American Way” of getting around the constitution?

@npub15x4…3p3l You don't say.
The UK Tories' more crazy policy proposals were cheered on Twitter by crowds that used statistically unlikely uniform language.
Yeah, ordering 5000 reply tweets. Easy. Coming up with 5000 different, positive sounding replies to an utterly stupid idea? Not that easy.
And 5 different texts, each 1000 times (or similar numbers) often had to do.

@npub1sly…t8j7 Und die Erfahrung vom letzten Zenbook (mit eben "nur" 16GB verlötet) war so prägend, dasx 32GB halb-verlötet in schnöden schwarz jetzt 32GB voll verlötet in eleganten beige beim nächsten Laptop schlägt.
(Kannst du dir DAS vorstellen, meine Frau hat keine 24h Bedenkzeit gebraucht, und interessanterweise waren in dem Falle Aspekte wie minimal höherer Preis, bessere Grafikkarte im PRO Modell etc irrelevant. Laptop nicht nach Farbe und Marke gekauft, 🤷 Wo soll das noch enden???)

@npub1sly…t8j7 Räusper, meine Frau ist die Dame die aus ökologischen Gründen (keine unnötigen CO2 Belastung dadurch dass sie einen neues Gerät einrichten muss) jammert wenn ich ihr versuche ein neues Zenbook nach nur 5 Jahren anzudrehen.
Und genau da ist der Hacken, man kann mit 16GB (wenn man nicht gerade yacc143 als Spitznamen hat) heute leben. Nicht jeder muss mit mehreren Usern und x Browsern etc gleichzeitig eingeloggt sein.
Aber in 5 Jahren? Wie wird dann dein Mac mit 16GB schwitzen?

@npub1sly…t8j7 16GB? Das ist doch ein Scherz?
Meine Frau weigert sich ein Zenbook mit nur 32GB fix verschweißt zu akzeptieren, sogar bei den "Normalbenutzern" ist es angekommen, dass der nicht aufrüstbare Speicher (insbesondere wenn er knapp gewählt ist, und 16GB ist für das Jahr des Herrn 2023 doch arg ein knappes Minimum) die Lebensdauer eines Schlepptops begrenzt.
