74·17 days agoIn the comments, it’s mentioned that the police claim that he picked up the grenade, but there is an investigation into whether that is the case or it was launched at him directly.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How hard is it for an American citizen to become a Canadian citizen? Or get dual citizenship?
5·1 month agoYou can apply for permanent residency after a certain number of years living in Canada legally, but citizenship is more difficult to obtain. You get extra points if you studied there, and it’s definitely easier if you marry a local.

Technology@lemmy.world•US government sides with OpenAI on issue of training LLMs on copyrighted material: »it is critical for the United States to ‘retain global leadership in artificial intelligence.«English
8·2 months agoTo clarify, this is the government’s position, not the law. This hasn’t been officially ruled on yet.
In a lawsuit that The New York Times filed against OpenAI, the Trump administration has contributed a 20-page brief in defense of the ChatGPT maker’s unlicensed use of copyrighted material to train its LLMs.
However, it’s not looking promising in legal terms either.

politics @lemmy.world•'Organized People Won': Aisha Wahab Defeats Millions in AIPAC Spending to Win US House Race
23·2 months agoIt’s American money, given to Israel, funding AIPAC to spend on influencing American politics. It’s a waste of taxpayer money, sadly.

Technology@lemmy.world•Best Buy 'repairs' customer's gaming laptop by simply removing half the RAM— claims unit in question only accepts 32 GB of RAM despite listing a 64GB configurationEnglish
3·2 months agoMy understanding is that it was a marketplace seller, not Best Buy themselves, who sold the laptop to the customer.
At least the techs actually made an effort to diagnose the issue and figured out that removing the stick of RAM fixed it. They’re not responsible for the sale of a laptop with more memory than the motherboard can handle.
All these marketplaces are a disaster. So many shady sellers posting the same items on every site they can, and nobody takes responsibility when an issue inevitably pops up.

19·2 months agoIf their bank has dealings in the USA, they can be de-banked. If they use American credit cards, those can be shut down. Accounts for companies based in the USA can be disabled/deleted or otherwise flagged. They can be blocked from flying on American and allied airlines, or from flying through those countries.
Basically the US government will convince whoever they can to stop dealing with that person, or just to fuck with them in any way they can.
It’s ok though, pistachios aren’t nuts.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged outEnglish
3·2 months agoIt sounds dumb, but Google’s directions handle traffic very well for the most part. If there’s a lot of demand for a certain route, it will automatically send you through alternatives so as to not cause traffic jams. That perfectly fine 5 mile stretch of highway probably has a lot of people already being routed through it.
Sometimes it also just sends you to the wrong place or tries to tell you to make illegal maneuvers though.
