Elon Musk changes X terms to steer lawsuits to his favorite Texas court
  • BrikoX BrikoX 10h ago 100%

    You can ask for the judge to recuse, but they can just say no. And then you have to appeal which can take years.

    > MIT engineers built a solar-powered desalination system that produces large quantities of clean water despite variations in sunlight throughout the day. Because it requires no extra batteries, it offers a much more affordable way to produce drinking water, compared to other solar-driven designs.

    EU considers calculating X fines by including revenue from Musk’s other firms
  • BrikoX BrikoX 2d ago 100%

    I love how you quoted all the parts expect the one that mentions where for this to even apply the person have to misuse corporate assets in the first place. Follow the law, and you are good in the EU, no matter which size business you are.

    If Elon Musk’s rights as a company owner can be violated, who says yours can’t?

    Here you go again. If they decide to go through with it, no Musk rights will be violated, there is extensive legal precedent in the EU that covers this.

  • BrikoX BrikoX 2d ago 100%

    To clarify, in 2016 they adapted definition, but it was still non-binding.

    This year, they are trying to make it official and binding. So far it passed the House, but still needs to pass the Senate and be signed by the president.

  • Labour backtracks on push for genocide ruling on China’s treatment of Uyghurs
  • BrikoX BrikoX 2d ago 100%

    I based my wording on Human Rights Watch report and in context of the article.

    The specific crimes against humanity might not constitute genocide if brought to ICJ as UN report stopped short of calling it genocide.

  • EU considers calculating X fines by including revenue from Musk’s other firms
  • BrikoX BrikoX 3d ago 100%

    It can't be irrelevant as it's the primary factor in deciding if the fine will even be brought. But ignoring that, there are clear limits. This would only apply to cases where corporate assets were used as personal ones. Hence, the limitation to private companies that have sole owners.

    And you talk like this is some novel never heard of approach. Personal liability applies to many actions under the law, just corporations managed to lobby it down for themselves. And your scaremongering of small family business becoming some governments targets are unfounded.

  • ‘It’s the First Amendment, stupid’: Federal judge blasts DeSantis administration for threats against TV stations
  • BrikoX BrikoX 3d ago 100%

    In particular the ones taking the side of the Brazilian government against musk.

    Brazil doesn't have USA's First Amendment. So no matter which stance people have on what it should be, it was legally valid.

    And the whole fight was a political farce as Musk personally is known to comply with government censorship. Again, you can argue that the law is wrong and should be changed, but it's legally valid.

  • EU considers calculating X fines by including revenue from Musk’s other firms
  • BrikoX BrikoX 3d ago 100%

    This is why it makes sense for specifically private companies that are solo owned. It's not uncommon that resources get shifted from one to the other as they are often treated as personal not corporate assets.

    USA has been stepping up their enforcement the last few years, but they got their hands tied after Supreme Court overturned Chevron. So you're probably right.

    Of course they backtracked. Imagine the hypocrisy of condemning China when they happily finance Israel doing genocide on even bigger scale.

    <...> your family's bakery or your neighbor's paralegal office.

    Are not subject to DSA. For the most part DSA only covers companies which have more than 45 million users in the European Union.

  • EU considers calculating X fines by including revenue from Musk’s other firms
  • BrikoX BrikoX 3d ago 100%

    As long as they exclude publically traded companies where there isn't a single controlling party this sounds like a good idea. Scary for those that like to ignore laws, but good for everyone else.

    Elon Musk is going to stump for Trump in Pennsylvania

    <...> is also giving voters in swing states $47 for each registered swing state voter who signs the petition. This is somehow not illegal.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour

    It can work, but it adds a mountain of issues that weren't present on DX11, so it's a lot more situation.

  • [META] Rules update and philosophy behind this community
  • BrikoX BrikoX 6d ago 100%

    I'm not against it, but that person would need to be a good fit and have a similar philosophy in relation to this community. And at current levels of activity, there isn't a particular need for it. If that were to change, I would more actively search for an additional person.

    And in an unlikely case that I ever went MIA unannounced, the instance admins are pretty good at finding replacements during monthly server update posts. And they have a mod bot running at the instance level to generate reports on flagged content.

    Can only speculate. 2020 version worked with Proton layer, but 2024 version only supports DX12, so it might be a bust.
