This should be some sort of award for getting a patent denied in Japan. They grant patents on vague ill defined concepts all the time, so if it's been rejected it's really been rejected.

Japan once granted a patent on the concept of "doing something while the game loads", Which is why we had all those tips screens for years, they weren't allowed to do anything interactive. I think this all came tumbling down when assassin's creed allowed you to wander around a blank empty void during loading. Such innovation.

Why does Google even care? They should make Microsoft file takedown notices for each of these installs while at the same time promoting Linux after all their own OS runs on Linux (I know it's a piece of junk that can't compare to a typewriter but still)

I think I only ever had a chequebook with one account and I never used it, then the following bank didn't even ask me if I wanted one. I never really liked the fact that I have to write something on a piece of paper, I felt convinced I was going to screw it up and forget how to spell "twenty" or something.

We now get to experience what it would have been like if the Nazis had a negative IQ. Which is impressive to say, because some of them were totally deranged.

All they're doing here is ensuring that all of the really intelligent people leave and go live somewhere else.

The python foundation should have asked them to define the terms of the contract in a document. At least that way we would have had a legal definition of what woke means in their eyes. Because I'm reasonably confident that even they don't know.

It baffles me that any business is prepared to get into bed with him. It's practically a meme at this point that he screws everyone over and doesn't pay his debts and with him now being president of the United States, there is zero chance you'll be able to put a lien on him.

It's not a rock, it's a giant glass of flavoured water

Which under the current administration means not annoying the great all-powerful orange one. It certainly has no relation to the actual law.

Jesus the current US administration are cartoonishly evil. History is not going to be kind to the United States. In 30 Years there is going to be a museum with a little plaque on the wall and it'll say "did you know the United States used to be a relevant world power?".

I have never bought a fridge in my life. When I bought this house the owner just left the current fridge behind it has no branding at all and is basically a white box. The only smart feature it has is that it beeps if you leave the door open (although honestly it's not really much use since it only starts beeping after 10 minutes which I feel like is too long).

Do you think even knows Argentina exists?

Anybody saying "I would take a bullet for x" and never going anywhere near x in order to be able to intervene, is just talking out of their arse.
