GN also literally said "auction" not "sold" in his first video, so Linus's response was doubly stupid.

It was doubling every day. They were scared of day 15 where it would've been 780mil for the day and over 1.562billion total.
Every day doubling is a really good consequence, the fact that it only took twitter 3 days to comply once the penalty started actually hitting should confirm that
Handing over data from one account with 6+ months warning is usually pretty easy actually.
The fact that it took a fine doubling every day to get them to comply is the more interesting fact.
It isn't 3 days, as you imply. It's multiple quarters.
You wouldn't download ~~a car~~ more RAM would you?
Same, pittsburgh.
Between lemmy.world and sync having issues I almost went on reddit. Then I remembered this is the fediverse, jerboa and lemm.ee exist and I'm back and more active than ever.
I start paying local news after about 1 article per day, and usually more like $20/month not the £10 they're asking for.
Pay up or stop expecting them to give you unlimited service for free.
Hell, I'm paying my local union paper $25/month to support their strike against their corporation and I hardly read their stuff at all.
That's pretty much been the entire conservative movement's MO for 30 years now.
I mean I completely agree with you in that the semantic bullshit is bullshit, my point was that Linus wasn't even correct in his attempt at BS because GN didn't use the word "sold". GN used the same word that Linus is attempting to say is totally different.
