That's Twitter/X you're describing. This person was asking about Bluesky. You could at least try to stay on topic.

He's a bad dude, who's currently trying to screw the Sandy Hook families out of the money they were awarded. Seems perfectly reasonable to not want to share a platform, where he's welcomed with open arms.

I mean, Brazil banned Twitter/X and Elon caved to their requirements within a week. The European market is much larger, so I expect it'll be a matter of days before he changed his mind over any demands made of him.

There is no meaningful case for arguing that the use of copyright material materially undermines the protection it provides to creatives. All their resistance is is an attempt to gouge tech companies. Whilst this may appear an attractive option, ultimately such gouging merely prevents the advance of the technology.
The US constitution is clear: copyrights are granted to 'to promote the Progress of Science and useful Art' Article 1 Section 8. This is doing the opposite.
This is a report from the UK. I don't know why you're wittering on about US stuff.

I believe it it something like:
Menu Bar -> Applications -> System Settings -> Menu Bar Options
This brings up a little box with 2 radio buttons giving the option to make the screen corner the activation for the menu.

You are entierly correct, apart from the fact that FOX 8 is affiliated with the Fox network. It is also a small clue that the station ident is almost identical to the parent logo.

You should have a look at Mr. Brooks. That one kinda took me by surprise. Very good film, plus it's got William Hurt, who's always good value.

You don't need an ID card to prove your age for things like purchasing alcohol. There is a Validate UK card, which is endorsed by the government. It has the added benefits of not requiring the collection of biometric data and your inclusion on a database (we have all seen how secure they can be).
