Same in Japan. I remember a case where a convicted pedophile successfully sued Google into blocking news articles saying he had been convicted of pedophilia.

You’ve never done this?

Dude in the back is looking at the result with the same intensity as a teenager seeing boobs for the first time.

I think it’s more likely that he’ll demand to settle or simply drop the lawsuit. Typical SLAPP behaviour.

CNN will likely try to have it dismissed because the legal fees will surely be astronomical.

distinction between claiming a report is defamatory versus claiming it is false.

A statement is not defamatory if it’s not false. It might be embarrassing and potentially damaging, but not defamation.

“There are five essential elements to defamation: (1) The accusation is false; and (2) it impeaches the subject’s character; and (3) it is published to a third person; and (4) it damages the reputation of the subject; and (5) that the accusation is done intentionally or with fault such as wanton disregard of facts.” - Ron Hankin, Navigating the Legal Minefield of Private Investigations: A Career-Saving Guide for Private Investigators, Detectives, And Security Police, Looseleaf Law Publications, 2008, p. 59.

Actually he is. Calling something defamatory implies that the statement is false. The inverse is also true: if a statement is true, then it’s not defamation.

Enjoy it while you can. Recall is going to be a hard dependency of the new file explorer because of… reasons.

I never watch TV anymore, but commercials still find a way to get at me. If I want to watch an older series, I have to consciously avoid certain regional releases because they might have scenes removed to cram in an extra five minutes of ads. The fade-outs and immediate recaps that would’ve surrounded the commercial blocks are also annoying.

I’d love to have a simple solution for you that is fault-proof, pleases everyone, and can be explained in a ten-minutes-past-midnight comment. Believe me, I’d love to fix every wrong with society, but I can’t. Evacuation of the workers and letting the situation calm down is probably the best immediate action that results in the fewest lost lives. Again, the situation is fucked because of way too many stupid, aggressive people in the same place, and that’s a problem that can’t be fixed by force.

We’re talking about armed militia members hunting federal workers. I don’t think they’d take kindly to the presence of a blue uniform. I’d sooner send in the army and let the good god Darwin sort it out.

The area is a powder keg and you’re offering a matchstick.

Because that’s how you get reactionary keyboad warriors going “OMG ACAB WHY ARE THEY ARRESTING THEM THIS IS LITERALLY 1984” on every website and media outlet. Also, probably firefights, officer-involved shootings, and further inflammation of a situation that was fucked from the start.

People don’t tend to use their best judgement when blues are involved, especially in America.

(edit) I assume you’re mounting the NTFS volume using fstab, which is how you should mount internal drives. If you’re trying to use the file manager to mount it dynamically, you really should look into how to use the fstab file.

I’d like to see your mount options.

As others have said, it’s best to explicitly mount it with the rw option.

Second, because NTFS doesn’t understand the Unix-like file ownership of users and groups, you have to specify the UID and GID of the mounted filesystem using the uid= and gid= mount options. If you don’t specify these, all files within the NTFS volume will appear as being owned by root. Use the uid=1000,gid=1000 options to mount the volume as owned by your user.

Third, use the windows_names option as well. Otherwise the filesystem will allow you to create files with illegal names, and that will completely fuck up the volume when mounted on Windows. For example, the : character is permitted by NTFS, but not by Windows.

Although, in general, just avoid using NTFS on Linux if you can. The driver is good, but there are too many basic conceptual differences between NTFS and most Linux filesystems.

Rapidly reusable orbital launch vehicles were unheard-of until Falcon 9. The Space Shuttle was supposed to fill that role, but NASA, ULA, and government elements have made it a horrid overbuilt pile of feature creep that was, at the same time, the crowning achievement of American aeronautical engineering, which was impossible to refurbish quickly. The same thing that is currently happening to SLS.

Propulsive landing of a first stage booster was an insane idea. Even massive space nerds like Everyday Astronaut were skeptical, and I watched him cream his jeans live when the first booster landed. That alone, the ability to reuse both the structure and the engines of the booster, as opposed to ditching them in the ocean (or in China’s case, on top of villages), has made access to low Earth orbit significantly cheaper, and affordable to underfunded scientific organizations.

That being said, competition is closing in. Rocket Lab (New Zealand) is targetin the same industry with the Neutron rocket (CEO Peter Beck literally ate his hat when the announcement was made) and is experimenting with recovering its smaller Electron rocket using mid-air capture by a helicopter. Astra (USA) is developing a rapidly deployable small orbital launch rocket that can fit inside a standard shipping container. There’s also Jeff Bezos and his massive overcompensation of a dick rocket that can also land propulsively, but not worth discussing.

It’s wandered into Half-Life 3 territory. Being both iconic for how long the fans have waited for it, and a product that’s meant to be the climax of a high-profile series, there’s no way it can live up to the hype.

If you can’t find the motivation to start doing a lengthy task (like cleaning the house, gardening, or working on a project), force yourself to do it only for 30 minutes. It’s not an unreasonably long time. By the end, you’ll either have gained enough momentum to keep going and finish it, or if not, you’ve still made 30 minutes of progress.

I think you would love 4chan.

Probably to avoid linking to kid diddler instances.
