the word “Global” in “Global Domain Takedown” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

The only domains taken down are going to be registrars that either fall in US juristiction, or voluntarily take it down. A US court order has no teeth outside of the US. I expect they are right in their response “we’re chill, we’re used to it.”. The operators are clearly not concerned about it, because at the end of the day it holds no bearing outside of the US and there are always going to be domains that don’t care about a US court order.

This court order is going to have an uphill battle in getting non-us juristictions to want to comply as well. I expect that they will be forced to go through local courts for it, but even then it’s hit or miss whether a non-us court is going to care about a us companies damages.

This is a whole different argument that I never really mentioned, but that is correct. This is a federal tax, meaning it would stack on top of any type of state tax.

As much of a pain in the ass, that would be to implement, I agree. I do believe that vehicle weight has some contributing factors.

Plus, moving it to the odometer system would remove the necessity of having a privatized company manage it(hence lowering complexity and cost from that company) and it would then be run by a government service

I don’t think it would be all that much more effort, to be honest.

All states require vehicle registration and it would just be supplying the current odometer reading at point of annual registration, and comparing it to a list of mileages to determine cost.

Now don’t take me wrong, that list can be as simple a base amount divided by how many miles it did, or it could be as complicated as breaking down every model vehicle and having a different fee for every model.

Data storage wise, it’s just checking the previous odometer reading to the current odometer reading, both are still there. The difference is how much mileage you had.

human effort wise it’s just an extra box for the registration form

Honestly, there’s an argument that it would be easier to have that system than the current system that we have for gas tax. Since the gas tax system is required at every single pump out there every time you fill where the mile-based odometer reading would only be town offices/bmv as a yearly thing

Yeah, unfortunately most states don’t have a yearly inspection. There’s registration, but outside of the New England area and select western states, there’s no real inspection requirements.

It was really surreal going to Florida for the first time and seeing people driving around with bumpers hanging off their vehicle and seeing my aunt driving around with tires so bald that I was surprised it could grip the road

I didn’t realize there was states out there that didn’t require mileage on their registration. I’ve never been in one that didn’t. I know there was some that don’t require mileage if the vehicle’s older than 10 years old, but I didn’t realize there was some that just straight out didn’t.

regardless it’s a nuisance, if you’re still doing an annual registration, that system still works. You just supply your mileage when you register.

The proposed EV tax would require almost 20k miles a year in order to break even if you compared a 24 mile/g ICE vehicle. That’s what is stupid about the entire thing. there is a super obvious vendetta and it isn’t to supplement the tax system. How many people put 20k miles on their vehicle a year? I know I’m on the lower end, but I barely got 3k miles over the last 2 years because my car doesn’t have to leave my house much. Back when I had to commute 30 minutes 5 days a week for work, I would do maybe 10k per year. The 24m/g is a the low end as well. Most consumer ICE vehicles are even more fuel efficient than that, with the US national average according to the EPA being 27.1 miles per gallon across all manufacturers in 2023 and that raising to 28.1 by 2025.

With the national annual mileage average being at 13,474 miles (per the federal highway administration). Why should an EV be forced to pay a flat rate that is the equivalent of 22,907.6 miles for an ICE vehicle(assuming national averages). That’s nearly double the price of it’s ice counterpart which doesn’t use a flat rate.

If they were serious about this supplementing the system, it would be based off mileage, since all vehicles require yearly registration with mileage anyway. In my eyes this is clearly intended to push people away from EV’s.

depending what is on it, and your risk factor, theoretically an attacker can check known resource paths to confirm or deny whats on the server. That’s my main complaint currently on it is that the jellyfin team is aware of the fact that it doesn’t need authentication, but are looking for some miracle solution that won’t toss legacy clients out in order to fix, so therefore the issues are just perpetually open.

edit: it looks like some of these issues may be being worked on now that they moved the problemic protocal into a plugin. I hope that that means they will close them in the next few releases!

I’m waiting for plex to announce that lifetime subscriptions don’t cover certain features like secure connect, and that those features will require an addon if enabled. The writing is on the wall.

I have to agree with this, I think they bet on more people subscribing as a result of their external connection subscription requirement, didn’t and are panicing because they don’t want to downscale enough to be able to be maintained.

the plex lifetime pass is a solid “stop beating him he’s already dead” scenario for me because I lost any interest in it like 4 price ups ago now.

Some people are here because they don’t want to be on reddit, either due to issues with the platform or otherwise. But that doesn’t mean the content posted is bad, nor does it mean that it shouldn’t be shared. By that logic any external links or content shouldn’t be allowed on lemmy either. At the end of the day, lemmy is a federated link aggregator. That is it’s purpose to allow for aggregation of content. You can take that entire argument and apply any other external website and it would be equally valid

Even moreso with this community to be honest, where most content is opinionated, its hard to argue that someones opinion isn’t valid, so if they share the same opinion? I don’t see why that is a bad thing to share it.

I think that the OP(the article author) is not looking at this the right way. Like yea it sucks another exploit is found, but it’s not like if it wasn’t found it doesn’t exist.

I think its much better to have them published and fixed then to live in blissful ignorance when someone could be exploiting it in the wild.

Well yea, but Luffy asks for it constantly like the dude’s entire stitche is “what is the most absurd way of trying to brute force my way” with little to no thinking involved at all. Most other shonens at least have the main protag make a battle plan or actually stop two seconds to think.

I mean… For this to actually matter Sony would have to release a decent game for the exclustivity. The last decent one in my eyes was Ragnarok, and I never even finished it.

I have a PS5. It hasen’t been turned on in almost 2 years. I have no reason to. I won’t lose any sleep over this decision.

In some cases DD will refuse to cancel it, or makes it so complicated that the customer has to go through their bank instead for it. So it could be cases where the customer attempted it and was told to screw off, so therefore they just went through their bank for a chargeback instead.

DD would still attempt delivery on those orders, and then likely try to protest the chargeback as well saying the service was “eventually” rendered as food quality is on the food place and DD is just the transport.

Luffy- One Piece. He(and honestly a few of his crew) should have died SO LONG AGO. Hands down. There is zero reason he should have made it to the time skip, and it only gets worse plot armor wise from there.

Not in my life span thats for sure.

We lack the tech for it.

People can claim they can do it all they want but, even under the assumption we can get there properly, we lack the life support capabilities and the terraforming capabilities to actually make it habitable on a larger scale.

realistically, we need to do baby steps. I think getting someone landed and returned from mars is a much more reasonable milestone then getting someone there and then colonizing/terraforming. This will also give the chance for tech to catch up to the required capabilities we would need. Like we haven’t even colonized the moon and people want to go to mars?

how this relates to the question is: Middle class won’t be going to any celestial object until it’s cost effect to do so, which won’t be until there’s a economical reason for it, which will require a colonization & an economy driver there.

I agree with you that he isn’t all he’s cracked up to be, but the post was meant to state facts given, and I don’t see how it effects or relates to what I said.

edit: to reiterate I don’t disagree with your comment, it’s just me pointing out if he’s a fraudster or not does nothing to the original claim, and adds a bias take to the comment where I’m attempting to remain impartial.

Yea, I intentionally restricted my post to the base tiers as gamepass has a similar schema since they both show similar featuresets at higher tiers.

I made a basic breakdown:

1. Basic
   • ps essentials: 11$/m
     • multiplayer
     • shareplay
     • save backups
     • discounts on store
     • monthly games selection valid for duration of subscription
   • gamepass essential: 10$/m
     • multiplayer
     • free game catalog: 123 [81 of which supported on Windows as well]
     • cloud gaming: 87
     • in game benefits in select first party games
     • rewards program
2. Mid Tier
   • PS Extra: 15$/m
     • previous tier
     • free game catalog: 409
     • ubisoft classics program: 59
   • Gamepass Premium: 15$/m
     • previous tier
     • free game catalog: 572 [395 of which is supported on windows]
     • cloud gaming: 412
     • First party games promised to be on game catalog within 1 year of release (Call of Duty Excluded)
     • semi-priority cloud play queue
     • 2x reward points
3. Best Tier
   • PS Premium: 18$/m
     • previous tier
     • classics catalog: 163
     • game trial catalog: 260
     • sony pictures catalog (a movie/media streaming service)
     • cloud streaming
   • Gamepass Ultimate: 23$/m
     • previous tier
     • free game catalog: 909 [587 of which are supported on windows]
     • cloud gaming: 555
     • day 1 first party releases on free game catalog (Call of Duty excluded)
     • Free EA Play: 182 games + select DLC
     • ubisoft classics: 120
     • fortnite crew
     • priority cloud gaming
     • 4x reward points

This was just a somewhat quick list of info found online when comparing the two. I can see each tier being useful to someone, but I personally find that Sonys offerings for PS+ don’t stack to Gamepass, and that’s from someone who has been loyal sony fan since the PS1.
