Maybe a call centre operated by map producers, intended more for questions about routes and conditions rather than "take the third left" kind of navigation.

One is online.

Just remember the c in disc is shaped like a magnet.

Sure mate.

You're suggesting that showing videos in a town square is the same as posting in Twitter? They're not the same, obviously.

It's complex and I don't have the answers. My comment is merely hilighting the conflict between these 2 ideals... governments shouldn't whether or not specific content is ok, but companies shouldn't provide content which is clearly unacceptable.

If xitter didn't provide that content the government wouldn't have to intervene.

If the government does intervene it reduces the barrier for them to intervene in future.

You're conflating "disk" with "drive".

An SSD is not a disk.

This is correct in most cases but I don't think it's the underlying principle.

This wiki talks about the etymology, with a lot of examples. Most conform to this rule, but there are exceptions in astrophysics like an accretion disk.

Even in info tech, "hard disk" doesn't really conform to this rule. Like is a hard disk a square hard drive or is it the round thing inside? If it's the square hard drive, that's not thin enough to be a "disk". I'd it's the round thing inside that would be hard disc, but also creates problems for floppy disk because why refer to the housing in one instance but not another.

Sadly, I think the correct answer is that either refers to a thin flat thing, some spellings are preferred for some uses.

I'm quite conflicted about this.

I hate musk. Hate twitter. Hate that people were sharing videos of a terrorist attack.

That said, I suspect that this was something of a test case, with the regulator flexing their censorship muscle, and I'm glad it didn't work out.

It's also disappointing that her kids were doxxed, I don't condone that at all... but "just doing my job" is not a reasonable defence when you have a shitty job strategising how to corrode privacy.

My partner, myself, and our 9 month old twins all have a cold.

Me too.

This kinda looks like a skeleton, just made from a different material.

I think maybe I assumed it was more like a sheet, like a squid's "feather", but that doesn't make much sense either.

One, day... some adult is going to think "that fucking cunt ass bitch lied to me about the rice".

Surely they wouldn't do that...
