Thanks, that definitely made it very simple to understand.
Still not 100% convinced on the applicability under various conditions^[and if I want to be, perhaps I should stop being lazy and go read the law], but I understand it from the Government POV. Kinda similar to the country-country hostage exchange we see in stories, which makes sure the other would have a reason not to renege on some agreement, even if they don't have a reason for mutual trust.

err... I'm finding it hard to understand the meaning of the sentence using the dictionary meaning of this word. Did you mean to use some other word?
Fun to see how this thread stemmed from "no shit".
Students first need to learn to:
The student in question probably didn't develop the mental faculties required to think, "Hmm... what the 'f'?"
A similar thingy happened to me having to teach a BTech grad with 2 years of prior exp. At first, I found it hard to believe how someone couldn't ask such questions from themselves, by themselves. I am repeatedly dumbfounded at how someone manages to be so ignorant of something they are typing and recently realising (after interaction with multiple such people) that this is actually the norm^[and that I am the weirdo for trying hard and visualising the C++ abstract machine in my mind].
oooo but you set the selected text setting to exchange FG/BG colour and noww you have white on yellow ooooo
I too, just disable the ambient sensor, but if I had to have one,
I'd rather have one that sends the sensor data to the PC, via an Open Protocol over DDC and let the KDE brightness setting handle the Brightness value decision (which would be easily configurable, of course).
What I find difficult to understand, is that they require said chap to be physically in the country.
Unless said law only works in case the company has a physical presence in the country (which it does, in this case), I feel it hard to get the logic to apply it to an internet service.
It most probably can work directly with satellites, but I don't think some user is going to put the effort into setting up a direct system (∵ high cost), just to use the bloated site, X is (∵ low throughput internet).
your company must have a legal representative to be within our borders
Interesting. Yeah, I was too lazy to look it up and instead cracked a joke.
But, isn't that law kinda expensive? Or does it only apply in certain conditions (like company size or sth)?
And what's stopping Musk from just putting an underpaid intern for compliance?
Well, you have that choice on Lemmy. Even if a mod deletes a comment, you still get to see it in the Mod Log.
And this is how their^[implying X, Reddit etc.] empires fall.
I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies
I won't get that either.
But unlike the Government, which is at least, supposed to care about us when making their policies,
the companies don't. Whatever gets them more money^[No idea about X though, it seems to love losing everything] is what wins.
Well, said companies will realise in time^[once the Federation evens (or at least smooths down a bit) the playing field] when it hurts them where they care about and will have to consider changing stances.
oooooooo
