TikTok took in $39 billion in 2024. So this is like, what, five minutes worth of revenue?

Nothing will change. That fine isn't even big enough to be a rounding error.

Man-made climate change, of course. Quick! Someone raise my taxes!

Well, that'd be one way to increase IPv6 adoption!

Is this real?!?

Like, really really for real?

For once, IT WASN'T DNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disney needs to feel the pain and stop gouging folks.

Oh wait, $4.3 million a day? That's like, what, two or three Disney World tickets, right?

It's not DNS!

It's not DNS!

I promise it's not DNS!

Dammit, it's DNS...

As in, these multi $billion companies have only themselves to blame. All the penny-pinching to placate shareholders does no good when the company dries up because all the customers gave them the middle finger.

BNSF Railway laid off a couple hundred mechanical folks on Monday. They dumped about 450 mechanical folks a year and a half ago too.

It's not just white collar.

I mean, like the shareholders. Are all Boeing's shareholders OK? Obviously the passengers/crew and some people on the ground are dead, but won't someone think of the shareholders?!?

So the merchant, in what used to be called a "free" country, cannot sneak in any fees whatsoever.

But the GOVERNMENT can!

If you're going to mandate honest pricing, it should absolutely include every government fee and tax as well. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

THERE's the problem.

I freaking HATE those things.

Give me actual physical cash, or at least an actual physical gift card/Visa card and the results will be different.

Wow.

That is absolutely provably demonstrably FALSE.

Reddit is by far the deepest and most expansive leftist cesspool on the planet. It makes a DNC convention look like a Sunday morning Catholic mass.

So, what you are saying is also...

The CNN/MSNBC/CNBC/etc propaganda machine is paid for by every American who buys a cable package.

We watch a decent amount of OTA TV, partly because it is free. Local news, regular broadcast shows, that sort of thing.

But I've already invested in tuners and infrastructure for watching it. I'm not going to re-invest in stuff yet again only to be ridiculously saddled with DRM.

OTA DRM can go to hell and never come back.

That's actually not true.

They have data showing it will be a net loss for them in revenue. But the exec who provided that data to the board was summarily fired.
