Too late for what? All those tipping points mean is that society will need to adapt to a new normal:
Droughts in places that normally have water. Floods in places that have droughts. Worse fire/storm seasons, etc.

I think too many people jump straight to the conclusion of those tipping points meaning "the end of the world" rather than addressing what will actually happen. Yes, the world will change, but it will go on. Humans will adapt, and hopefully we learn from our mistakes.

    If you're just trying to figure out which account was initially banned:

    Open up your browser in incognito/private mode. Go to the user profile page for each account:
    https://www.reddit.com/user/<username_here>/

    When attempting to create a new account to appeal

    From what I'm reading, you should be logging into the reddit appeal page with the banned account. Don't try with a different account, and don't use the reddit app. You'll need to open the appeal page in a browser tab. If you're on mobile and clicking on any link automatically opens the reddit app, try long pressing the link and then select "open in new tab":

    Being on a construction site "does not open the floodgates to warrantless government intrusion," a federal judge ruled in a lawsuit filed by a construction worker who has been detained three times by ICE.

    From the article it sounds like the ruling is limited to construction sites, but according to the Institute for Justice (the law firm taking on this case) the judge has ordered a stay on the broader policies that led to this:

    • Warrantless Entry Policy (which permitted immigration officers to raid private construction sites without a warrant or consent),
    • Preemptive Detention Policy (which permitted immigration officers to preemptively detain employees without a particularized suspicion that persons are illegal immigrants), and
    • Continued Detention Policy (which permitted immigration officers to continue detaining workers even after they show evidence of citizenship or lawful presence).

    Edit: Note that this is a temporary stay while the case proceeds.

     

    MegaLag has an update on the Honey situation. A judge has allowed the case to proceed to be heard on all 7 counts. Discovery will begin soon where we should get some very useful information.

    Thanks to his previous video, the attorneys on the case were able to amend their case in time to include the additional evidence that MegaLag had discovered. Note - Of the many law firms who filed on behalf of content creators, only 3 firms were chosen. Legal Eagle's law firm was not one of them.

    Some additional information. Honey tracked enough information from their plugin that they should be able to figure out exactly how much money was unjustly stolen from content creators.

    Honey has since updated their plugin so that even if no coupons are available, they can at least save you 1% on your purchase allowing them to poach the affiliate link without running afoul of Chrome's revised plugin guidelines.
