I mean, if it's because of legal reasons, wouldn't they request KYC paperwork before depositing the first bet instead of after? You know, since handling dirty money is still a crime even if the money is locked in the casino

Japan has one of the most draconian copyright laws in the world. You can't even rent your own books or disks unless the copyright holder allows for it. I've been puzzled at the fact that they have allowed Let's Plays (and memes and remixes and doujin works for that matter) for such a long time.

I was using OG SearX for the longest time, it was only until very recently that I discovered that:

  • SearXNG was a thing
  • SearX had not been updated in years
  • and most importantly, that I had been stuck with the unmaintained edition without me even noticing

Considering that AliExpress and Wish have the bad fame of being both dirt-cheap and dirt-quality, I was surprised that Temu actually managed to snatch a slice of the budget pie. Temu being a privacy trojan to fetch as much personal data from gullible customers as possible makes a lot of sense in retrospect

Pretty much every web-app wrapped into a desktop environment uses Electron, which is based in Chromium.

Unless the developers of other browsers take specific steps, the ad engine will get pulled on the next update of their Chromium engine, that's the problem.

Opera has unfortunately given up and switched to Chromium as its backend.

Curiously enough, the "start" button is now more of a "pause" button. Sometimes also a "skip cutscene" and "open menu" button. Microsoft was into something by actually renaming it to "menu" in the Xbox, since that's what it's used for nowadays. Sony probably chose to call it "options" on the PS4 onwards solely to avoid being sued for plagiarism.

And that's why I have a weekly cronjob in my server to call BleachBit, remove cycled logs, and compress the images on my storage. Having to make do with a rather limited VPS for years taught me to be resourceful with what I had

It's sad to have the rushed ramblings of a bigot become the fundamental block of the modern world wide web. Why couldn't it be at least made by a more competent bigot like Carmack?
