That's such a weird take, I'm not sure it's not an attempt at rage baiting.

They are both remarkably similar in that regard.

Whatever little overlap there is in that Venn diagram, is entirely encompassed by being a PoS.

Certain types of advertising is illegal where I'm from. In particular: political adverts of any kind, and ads that target children.

I never considered it all that much of a paradox. If anything, it's a linguistic contradiction. It's a question of whether we should tolerate someone (in-)directly causing/wishing harm onto others. It also doesn't matter whether they understand it themselves.

A lot of aspects that are considered "political", are arguably just "harm onto A that benefits B". I think it is right to call these out. Universal health care, education, affordable housing, etc. Take off the capitalistic monocle, and certain "rights" and "wrongs" are painfully obvious.

If it reaches that point, just be glad you made it out in time.

Relevant section on Wikipedia:

The government may not criminally punish immigrants based on speech that would be protected if said by a citizen.[83] On entry across borders, the government may bar non-citizens from the United States based on their speech, even if that speech would have been protected if said by a citizen.[84] Speech rules as to deportation, on the other hand, are unclear.[85] Lower courts are divided on the question, while the leading cases on the subject are from the Red Scare.

Regarding the protections against illegal searches, I think all bets are off, even for US citizens.

That's what I'm trying to do understand as well. What's the explanation for these kinds of things? What's the actual sequence of events and how conditions that lead to these things? Why would the board approve of this kind of compensation?

Hm, if it spawns some external process, would it be possible to wrap that in a shell script of the same name (and have its dir earlier in PATH), which in turn calls the other one, but through trickle?

If you're on Linux, you have a lot more options to affect the system. You could try running Heroic Launcher through trickle: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34116/how-can-i-limit-the-bandwidth-used-by-a-process

Ideally this would be implemented on the client side, i.e. Heroic Launcher, but there seems to some challenges in making that happen: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/597

What do you mean by natively?

That's when it became obvious that he was a terrible human. The odds weren't exactly good, since only a deeply flawed human can actually amass that much wealth.

However, the "oh my, is... is he... an idiot?" came some time later for me. Aka, the "Elon moment". The point in time when you hear Elon reveal how clueless he is, by talking about a topic you know something about. I think it was watching the absurdly cringy teams meeting with twitter engineers

He is clearly shit at engineering, has no idea about software development ... sooo, it stands to reason that he also doesn't know much about rocket science.

He sure seems to be gifted at making governments subsidise his ventures tho. So, that's something... I guess.
