I guess there is a difference between "it's known to happen" and "a nation state accuses another nation state"

The US is preparing to accuse Russia of disinformation campaigns targeting the presidential election
I know this is fuckcars, but park-and-ride schemes are to remove cars from city centers.
Park out of town, get a bus in for the day, bus back, and drive home.
They are fairly popular and fairly effective around the UK.
Yeh, it would be great if everyone had excellent bus/train service, but this is a decent stop gap
Nano is useful because it is everywhere.
There are better editors, but being familiar with nano and it's shortcuts means you can edit files pretty much anywhere.
Same with knowing the basics of vim (like being able to edit, exit and save)
I'm using android jerboa, and I don't see a heart.
Dunno if there has been an update recently, tho
Buy the 2nd last tool you will ever need.
When you are replacing it, then you upgrade to the last tool you'll ever need
The first round of tools for any hobby or DIY project.
If you don't know what you want from a screwdriver, snips, circular saw etc. then there is no point in buying the super primo bells & whistles expensive stuff.
Once you've used a tool and learned what you don't like about it, or what you actually use it for, or how often you actually use it... Then you can make the informed decision to just buy another cheap one, or splash out on something that's actually fun to use.
Buy the 2nd last tool you will ever need.
There are rare occasions where "buy once cry once" apply. But it's rare
The judge that banned X also stated a fine of 10k for anyone using a VPN to circumvent the ban.
Difficult to police and enforce, but it's been made clear that accessing X is considered illegal
This is what "eat the rich" and "if a punishment is a fee, it's an operating cost" mean. You get your company banned and personal assets seized. It's delicious.
Anyway, I'm not going to take your outrage seriously.
First it was hell bent that no legal process had been done, which took me all of 2 seconds of googling to disprove.
Now it's that only uncivilised places would dare seize personal assets. And somehow still that no legal process has been done.
This has been going on for months, with musk acting like the man-baby he is.

Sure, but the fines have gone unpaid.
The private owner of the private company X has enough money to cover the fines.
Brazil is now seizing assets to try and recover the amount due.
X isn't declaring bankruptcy. X is flaunting legal rulings and dodging fines.
If that scares away "investors" that are going to skirt or flaunt laws, rulings and legality then it seems like a decent result for Brazil.
Additionally, the judge froze the financial assets of Starlink, Musk's satellite internet company, to cover unpaid fines amounting to 18.5 million reais ($3.28 million) imposed on X for non-compliance.
So, exactly what Brazil has done?
Edit:
Some more detail on the daily fines imposed, and total fines due.
