Haha, they have been trying to tell Twitter to do things, with some law suits out.
Which is why members of the US government are now threatening to leave NATO if they continue to bully twitter, since Elon is in charge of a quarter of our government.
I mean, how would you like them to monetize?
What they are planning sounds similar to discord nitro, which I think is fine.
Also in the article: " Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added. "
Like this is so nonsensical. Talking to press about a company having broken a rule even though they are not under your jurisdiction, but you haven’t bothered to contact yet, is just wild.
If they reached out and said “Hey, before you reach these metrics you need to fulfill these requirements” and bluesky told them to pound sand, that’d be good to know.
But “Company who doesn’t have to follow a rule is not following the rule, and we’d like them to, but haven’t told them we’d like them to” is not news.
From the article (different paragrpahs) " “All platforms in the EU . . . have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established,” said commission spokesman Thomas Regnier. “This is not the case for Bluesky as of today. This is not followed.”
Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added.
“The commission cannot regulate Bluesky directly as it does not yet reach the threshold of more than 45mn monthly users in the EU to be designated a very large online platform. But Regnier said that if member states could identify a EU-based representative for the company, Brussels would “reach out to Bluesky”.” "
The head line is nonsense. They are not in the EU and they don’t have over 45 million users in the EU. So the rules in no way apply to them.
You’re not wrong! Alas I am an admin, not the host. Also we wanted it to be very obvious that it’s a game jam about blind accessibility. Could he have picked a different name? Probably, but at this point we’re kinda committed!
If you end up working in the medical/insurance field in the USA, you don’t even need basic math! The numbers the programs output are just all made up!
I had the audacity the other day to ask in what order we apply deductibles. (YOU want a deductible applied to something covered at 10%, not 100%. The insurance wants it applied to something covered at a100%) I was told it just picks some at random and hopes for the best, so we use the word “best effort” when it comes to estimating what insurance will pay, since they’ll make that up anyway.
So yeah, just another throwing in that it super matters where you work. At my job we plug in what is industry standard for medical accounting, and say it’s just an estimate on everything else.
So would you say my description is accurate? Due to lack of documentation I’m mostly hoping to make sure I’m not completely misunderstanding
An article with actual examples instead of an endless string of jargon! Thank you!
But this is SOO tedious. The annoying bit is it could just be one person who set it up over a weekend, has a script that they plug into when wanting to be a troll, and now all admins/mods have to do more work.
You’re fighting the good fight! So annoying that folks are doing it on freaking lemmy.
I was going to say “Oh you can potty train any mammal!”
Then I remembered Pandas exist… sooo I’ll just say “Most mammals have had examples of them being potty trained”
So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my “guess” is it’s to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don’t wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he’ll probably stay on the rug most of the time.
Just a guess though.
I mean at the risk of being “whooshed”
The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.
The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.
I’m dying to know what AI model he has that can maintain code XD
Jokes on you, the Fed has been running that bottom program for years.
The VP having control over the platform they announce things?
What a novel idea /s
So dumb how much power twitter got for politics. Fediverse for life!
I mean I thought the use of instant mashed potatoes were pretty interesting! I made the black bean patties and they came out good, but I put them on a home made bun so it wasn’t such a small meal. and I’ll probably try the pie but with more veggies!
I mean… if you’re on a super tight budget, like $1 a day, you will be getting most of your calories from:
Beans
Wheat
Rice
Potatoes
Oils
Then a couple cents a meal for flavor.
So yeah, on a super tight budget if your only source of food is that $1, probably not. Instead of getting that dinky little can of veggies I would probably go for split peas personally, since they are pretty cheap and calorie dense. But mostly sharing cause I thought they were interesting vegan recipe bases that can be added too. The patties tasted good to me and the pie will be good with more veggies I think!
Hopefully anyone who is on such a low budget will have access to a food pantry or some other resources to assist though.
Let’s do some math then!
The box of mashed potatoes has 2,720 calories dry lentils 1430 2 cans black beans 770 1 can mixed veggies 100 1 can tomatoes 100
… yeah you’re right, you’re gonna lose some weight that week, but the high fiber beans/lentils may keep yourself from feeling it. The mashed potato’s are yummy, but take up way too much of the budget for the calories.
Oooh mushroom gravy is a great idea. Just a little can of blended mushroom with flour/oil/almond milk.
I mean that’s a fair thought.
But even by USA capitalist standards, this specific man was a monster who in a just world wouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything. The world is slightly better off without such a greedy and heartless man in it.
