  • In an unprecedented move, the Japan Fair Trade Commission on Tuesday issued a cease-and-desist order against Google for violating the country’s anti-monopoly law by forcing manufacturers to preinstall the company’s apps on their Android smartphones.

    This is the first time that Japan has issued such an order against any of the major U.S. technology companies referred to collectively as GAFAM — Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft.







  • Friday, as in last week in 2025?? I had to check the source since I couldn’t believe there are still court cases being held over 23 years after 9/11.

    The case has been wending towards a resolution since the May 2012 arraignment of a single, fundamental issue: whether the government would be able to introduce “clean” or admissible statements by defendants at a death penalty trial following their years of isolation and abuse.

    This man has been 10 years in custody already and still is not convicted? Aside from what he has or hasn’t done that must truly suck. Or would it help you keep hope? I don’t know but I am very surprised by this to be honest.



  • Heating and cooling buildings both cost immense amounts of energy, but in places where spaces are heated the global rise in temperature generally means less energy is needed for heating because it is less cold. I don’t have the experience that discussions about this favour the ones living in colder climates over the ones living in warmer climates, but if you feel this is personal let me say that you shouldn’t sit in scorching heat just because the world fucked up and shouldn’t feel bad about using an airconditioning. Spending a long time in high temperatures actually kills people. I was not in any way saying the people who right now don’t have airconditioning should not get one, just that it is better for the global temperature a lot of people don’t have one.
