Given that audio was going through changes from using physical denominators to using db as a standard, this might have confused them
Microw@piefed.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines.English34·14 days agoI was confused there for a second but apparently the BBC has introduced a paywall only for US users. Site is still completely free to read anywhere else, which is why I didnt even realize that there is a paywall.
Which of course means that US Americans could simply VPN their way around it…
HLL let’s you play both sides, so I expect this to also do

Microw@piefed.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Democrats Unveil Map Targeting California GOP House MembersEnglish151·21 days agoArnie definitely has a personal problem with things like Trump’s climate policy, his anti-immigrant policy and some other stuff. He has no problem with gerrymandering to favour the GOP though apparently, and still won’t go on record against the GOP - only against Trump personally.
People need to understand that water usage, plastic pollution, Co2 generation and power usage are all different things and just saying “tHe EnViRoNmEnT” isn’t helpful. Some of these things matter more than others.
Microw@piefed.zipto Games@lemmy.world•[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' GamesEnglish9·1 month agoI mean, PayPal has not denied responsibility so far. Which is pretty interesting
Microw@piefed.zipto Games@lemmy.world•[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' GamesEnglish1·1 month agoA lawyer for a processor like PayPal or Stripe could easily have gone “uh, the Mastercard contract clause prohibits this”.
And PayPal is well known for doing shitty things, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Yeah and those stories are wrong
Processors = Stripe, PayPal, and offline the companies that install card terminals in shops
Networks = Mastercard, Visa
The processors told itch and Steam to deindex those games. The processors claim that they have to do this due to contracts with the networks, but Mastercard currently denies this
Microw@piefed.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brandEnglish5·1 month agoSounds like Visa and Mastercard have clauses in their contracts that they don’t even care about themselves, but payment processors like Stripe are bound to then

Microw@piefed.zipto News@lemmy.world•Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell survivor testified she met Donald Trump at age 14English2·1 month agoIt was not all reported prior to 2016 since it was the Miami Heralds reporting in 2018 that brought a lot of things into public eye. It was however all reported prior to the 2024 election.

Microw@piefed.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some events in history that most people would be surprised happened in parallel or at least within the same time period?English7·1 month agoBoth of these points are common denominators for the end of the european middle ages, so it’s not surprising they are close to each other
Microw@piefed.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein because 'he stole people who worked for me'English21·1 month agoHe’s not actually saying that though, that’s CNBCs spin on it.
The quote is:
“He hired help, and I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that work for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again,” Trump said.
Epstein then became “persona non grata,” Trump said.
“I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth,” he said.
If you run across a link with a regular “?utm_source=…” , that can not tell people anything about you. It simply tells the website “register one click onto this article coming from this specific newsletter we sent out”. It does not tie this information to you.
With other tracking things, what is described here is absolutely possible though.
