I think the only adobe product I use is acrobat just to esign documents
I keep saying i'll download all adobe stuff just to have but never do
the interesting thing about when the US government opens a suit like this, they aren't going to settle, and they usually warn adobe months in advance to negotiate pre-emptively
My dad started talking to me about adobe literally yesterday
so they had ample warning this was coming, and think they'll prevail ig?
I hope they get more than just a slap on the wrist, they’re really shitty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it's uncapped, but the fine will probably be 3x revenue made from subscriptions since this was implemented
well, probably limited to revenue from non-commercial customers
which is still probably a huge number
so I'll guess it comes out to a $10B fine
Since general chat is occupied
Rekieta got convicted on 4 traffic violation things
so, I'm going to assume the way that works is that he didn't pre-pay the ticket prior to the court date (you shouldn't) so after the court date you then pay it
I assume so
I also assume thats June 4th and not April 6th
for the date the offense was commited
no, it's April
that's about the right time
2-3 months
Oh you're right
the other dates are MM/DD/YYYY

https://old.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/comments/1dl79e3/legal_trespass_notice_issued_to_encampment/ my university is kicking the israel protesters out
it's been over a month
who's still out there protesting?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
its been fenced off and its just some tents in the middle of some green space
they were not really doing anything which is why they were not kicked out sooner
felt more like a homeless camp then a protest

Russia shot down a US drone today
Look forward to that being a question at the debate

France made a big deal about not including air conditioning for the olympics to make a statement about global warming
so the US and Canada have said they're bringing their own AC units and will install them and the necessary generators
and France isn't too happy
Officials aim to keep the rooms at between 73 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit, and will also provide fans.
sleeping in an 80F (27C) bedroom sounds miserable
Hidalgo, who is against countries bringing their own units, stressed earlier this year that Paris organizers would not change course.
“I think we have to trust science on two counts,” she said. “The first is what scientists are telling us about the fact that we are on the brink of a precipice. Everyone, including the athletes, must be aware of this. And secondly, we have to trust the scientists when they help us to construct buildings in a sober way that allows us to make do without air conditioning.”
Also this is their mascot Phryge
I agree global warming is a thing
I also believe that it is laughable to try and force normal people to give a shit when the main culprites do not give a shit
ban private jets and audit factories if you care so much
You know what uses a lot of energy and is not needed 99% of the time? Huge office buildings
but we can't not have those, real estate needs their money
invest in technology and aim to teraform the earth however you want
that's the solution
"oh hey, we think there are benefits to humans to lower the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere"
ok, remove the CO2 then
