  • ;tldw Rightwing nutjob makes a video about some rich guy’s legal battle with New York bureaucracy. Woman fell on the sidewalk, sued the owner and city, and the city claimed not liable as it is dudes property. Property lines reinforce this so no schenanigans here. Dude builds a fence extending out onto sidewalk and street claiming it is his right as property owner and now the city wants to fine him for the fence (which it probably can due to public sidewalk accessibility laws).

    IMO this is the equivalent of other rich assholes doing shit like fencing to the water line on their property to prevent public access to a community beach.












  • Techies in Europe – who obviously have a vested interest in unsettling Microsoft stronghold on the market as AWS, Microsoft, and Google have upwards of a 70 percent share of the public cloud sector in the region – previously highlighted the potential dangers of US legislation.

    I’ve mentioned this before as a criticism for Canadian boycotts of the US. Every large Canadian website, even Government and News use US cloud services. Every. One.

    Frank Karlitschek, CEO of Nextcloud, told us in March, “The Cloud Act grants US authorities access to cloud data hosted by US companies. It does not matter if that data is located in the US, Europe, or anywhere else.”

    How was this allowed to happen? The minute that law was passed all sites that use them should have discontinued their contracts. JFC.
