According to Susan Wojcickis statement YouTube/Google can't enforce policies because there would be "too much content to take down".


"I can't possibly clean my room because there are way too many beer cans, TV dinner trays and fast food wrappers to pick up."


You don't need to have played or know anything about Maniac Mansion to enjoy Day of the Tentacle. I would not even recommend to play MM first, because MM is stupendously hard and frustrating compared to DotT. Play it after.

BTW: In the version of DotT I played in the 90s there was a funny easter egg: A computer in the game was running a playable version of Maniac Mansion. I don't know if this is part of the remastered version though.


Remastered has it too. Steam version even has achievements for doing things that require you to get a small way through the original.

Agree on not needing to play Maniac Mansion first, too. I came to the original having no idea that MM even existed. The characters and story are great even if you don't know the references.


It is! At least on the version I played from Steam :)


It is


It's not servers. It's who will have the best submarine cables. A game in which Apple is not participating btw. Not even with an Elon style moon, err, low earth orbit shot.

Apple has no need for undersea cables.

It doesn't matter if iCloud is slow or not since most of the interactions with it are in the background. And all of it's content e.g. App Store or Apple Music are cached by CDNs which are hosted in pretty much every country.


A bit simplistic, no? There is more than one important factor.

Have you read the blog post? I think it gives a much needed context to whats going on with Russia at the moment.


I think it gives a sort of jr. high school spat / just gathering of info bits context that is not the least bit insightful or accurate.

Sure. https://foreignpolicy.com/author/cheryl-rofer/


Doesn't really change the content, and I'm not sure that link really lends much credibility on the topic.... do you feel it does?



Periodic reminder: "Operators, where are your MANRS?"

It seems like one of the hit ISPs (KPN) actually is part of MANRS. Shouldn't that have protected them and their customers?


I don't think so. When you're in the middle and neither the source nor the destination of a route implements MANRS, there is not much to protect/verify. MANRS does protect you from becoming a leak, among other things. (I am not a total expert on routing, so please take this with a grain of salt)



That's what I was looking for! Thanks :).


From the Youtube blog post:

"To be clear, using racial, homophobic, or sexist epithets on their own would not necessarily violate either of these policies. For example, as noted above, lewd or offensive language is often used in songs and comedic routines. It's when the primary purpose of the video is hate or harassment. And when videos violate these policies, we remove them."

I don't see how Google/Youtube can view Crowders videos as non-harassment, non-hate speech and still keep a straight face with their pride month campaign. You can't support homophobic creators and claim to be supportive to LGBTI issues at the same time.


I understand this is an important topic to you, but is this copy & paste frequent resubmission really the best way to tackle the issue when it already has been to the front page and discussed exhaustively?


Because they perfected the exploitation of Googles search algorithm? Have a look at the site. It is literally a clickbait content farm.
