If they admitted it, they get away with it because money changed hands, and he signed the contract.

For me, it's worse than that. I've yet to see (or hear) a podcast that I had any interest in the point of.

If the listeners can't tell the difference between AI slop and live podcasters, there are only two possibilitie:

Either the AI is really good, or

The live podcasters are as bad as the AI slop.

I know which way I'd bet.

Given how low their birth rate is, well below replacement level, it's a pointless law that will have zero effect. With a birth rate of 1.29, their population would be dropping nearly 50% per generation without immigration.

No effect at all. Just more virtue signaling.

Won't be relevant if the birth rate in Switzerland stays at 1.3, just over half the replacement rate.

In other words, if the cap is a fixed total population of 10 million, they can still allow immigration to the tune of tens of thousands a yearindefinitely to keep their population from declining rapdily, and will eventually end up being a majority immigrant population.

Not sure the right-wing nutballs behind this really understand that, since their proposal actually enforces it.

It's easy to get a copy of a Kindle book with the desktop app. Currently, there's no way I know of to strip out the DRM, though, so it's of limited use.

The general consensus among people who aren't obsessed with The Orange Dragon is that serifed fonts are easier to read on written documents, sans serifed easier on screen. Since the State Department has to have printed copies of many, many things, the change back to a serifed font makes sense.

And isn't a big deal.

In the end, though, it's just another example of how Trump is THE MASTER TROLL of all time, playing his usual game of "go chase the stick, good doggie, isn't that a nice stick, go chase the stick" with irrelevant shit that TDS sufferers will obsess over, and not notice what he's actually up to (that they could actually generate support over if they noticed), like the half million deportations (plus 2-3 times as many "self deportations").

It's hilarious, the way he plays the news media like a fucking Stradivarius, with their enthusiastic cooperation.

"This move may actually incentivize authors to apply DRM to their ebooks."

Those who actually advocate that should go first, yes, in a show of true leadership and commitment to their cause.

Not my cause, however, no matter how stupid you are when the truth bites you in the ass.

You ignore the possibility that 3) Calibri is actively bad, and therefore is worth the time and money to change back (both of which are minimal).

I wonder why you ignore that.

I'm sure someone already committed multiple felonies would be deterred by that possibility.

Yes.". It is increasingly apparent that is exactly the goal.

Soldiers who take their oaths seriously, and remember their (mandatory, annual) training on disobeying illegal orders.

Given the boom and bust cycle of fads like this, you also might not want to best they will, since they would then be stuck with some very expensive printing capacity they have no use for, but have to pay for anyway.

It's a delicate business, and their obligation is shareholder value.

This is the sound of the other shoe dropping.
