My guess is that the patient has permanent brain damage but things stopped getting worse.
Sounds like she might be the next Presidential candidate. I know she's in Australia but is she an American citizen?

No, it's not extortion.
But it absolutely is.
Using the power of government to compel someone to pay money is extortion.
If we really want to break it down, it's more like this.
Facebook/Meta was telling people "Hey, there's an article over there about this subject. If you want to know more, you can go read it.", people go to the original source (the website) to read the article, the website gets ad revenue from the visitor and everybody gets something.
Now, Facebook/Meta is like "What newspaper? I don't know about any newspapers." People aren't being referred, the website isn't generating the ad revenue and Trudeau is bitching because the reaction to his policy wasn't what he thought it would be.

Canada attempted to extort money from Facebook.
Facebook denied it.
Canada is crying because in the course of avoiding their extortion attempt, Facebook cut off important news to Canadian users.
Get fucked Trudeau. You caused this!

Company makes stupid UI choice and fixes it, story at 11... wait you already have the whole story.
Perhaps it's news because the company was willing to fix it. Microsoft and Google never do.

Last month, the CEO gave a speech where he dropped some heavy hints about wanting us back in the office. That day, I updated my CV and started applying to new jobs.

Current remote workers do not want to waste time with orgs that even think about forcing people back to the office.
My employer is giving indications that they're about to force us back into the office. I have been applying for new jobs.
I will not go back to the old way.

You give them too much credit. The other 20% are probably too stupid to realize they made a mistake.

And when the body goes into ketosis, it breaks down fat into ketone bodies to use for energy. What cannot be used is excreted in the urine. It cannot save the excess as fat.
This is why Atkins and Keto show results.

Not really. For a long time, nutcases have taken guns and shot innocent people with them. Media coverage has certainly changed in recent years but I'm not convinced that the incidents have increased.

You know Google sold Motorola to Lenovo almost a decade ago, right?
Amazing, the right-wing that always cherry-picks incidents and data to "prove" their point can't handle it when they perceive others doing the same?
You're correct but the left-wing does it as well.
Ask one if men can get pregnant and listen to what they say, especially if there's a camera around.

And Hitler loved to paint; therefore, painting is bad, right? That's your argument.
If EVERY tyrant loved to paint, it would be worth asking why.
Hitler being a failed painter is a one off. Hitler was also a vegetarian. Their evangelists may well be annoying but they're otherwise harmless.

I had forgotten all about that font.
