I worked for an online casino for a few months. Our first major meeting was a brainstorming session to take advantage of the gaming fad to get those kids into betting.
The allegation in the indictment claims otherwise, hence the indictment and extradition request. Then there’s the rape issue in Sweden, although I really have no idea how that will stand up if it’s reopened. Still, answering those questions f fact are why courts exist.
However, these allegations have come up before in Manning's trial, and they do not amount to much more than him trying (not succeeding) to help Manning cover her tracks, i.e., protecting his source as a journalist. He did NOT help Manning access more data. This article by Glenn Greenwald is a good read on the subject:
> This and the parent vendor-lock in comment are so over-played out it's tiresome.
It's also tiresome that I'm losing access to my preferred music streaming platform that I pay $20/month for. No other platform lets me seamlessly put up a playlist with music from their streaming library and my own uploaded music[0].
People aren't dredging up the past here and being needlessly cynical. It continues to come up in discussions because it continues to happen.
[0]: Any streaming service that doesn't let me listen to Neil Cicierega is inherently flawed.

No, people here are more predisposed to understand the business needs behind a given service. You're more likely to find people who understand why a service is being shut down here than picking out of a crowd.
However, they're also apt to perform a deeper risk evaluation than the average person. And a glance at Google's track record shows that their services are pretty likely to be axed, and so should not be relied upon.
It's not entitlement to be upset that a paid service is being shuttered in favor of another paid service with fewer (or at least very different) features by the same company. I'm paying for it. If it wasn't profitable, they wouldn't be actively developing a clone of their own product.

Interesting how I did not notice any issues with the library until I came to the comments and there were several mentions of implicit racism. There is some projection going on here.
Upon reviewing the site again, there are some lighter skin tones that I would identify with as a pale white man, if I really cared.
The commenters jumping all over the "I'm not represented" angle are likely the same people who would opine "identity politics is killing this country" if the situation were reversed.
Either way, these are SVG files and can be edited to switch out colors. That's the whole point of a library like this.

I looked through it and I have to disagree, the skin tones are all dark. There is no reason to call that racist though, maybe the author just doesn't see a lot of white people in whatever country they live in.
Edit: ouch, I guess my optimism was misplaced. Given that he's from California, it really does look like the author was making a political statement.
