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.

Guyyyyssss, the vote was yesterday!

Also how was that mess over 10 years ago and they still are in the “Finding out” portion of FAFO?

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.

It says loved ones I’m afraid, can’t sacrifice one in prison I’m afraid.

“Surely the company that sells a product for $100 will keep selling the product for that price once tariffs mean that it costs a $125 to produce and import!” - crazy people.

Wanna bet that the search trend spikes again when/if they come into affect?

Some folks were a little late to figuring out what tariffs were okay!

Not the part about giving away your riches or loving your neighbor though.

He had no comments on “which” teachings though, I’m sure.

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!

Obama as now, or at the same age as me?

30 YO Obama looked amazing.

Must not be anywhere near to the actual free way entrance then if it’s that cheap! Cheap places always have trash commutes.

Someone posted to the class discussion form with the bit about being an ai bot still included.

I wish it was a joke.

I didn’t do great in that class, but it was me getting 70% for not wanting to try and explain a mathematically concept in 500 words! They won’t take that away from me.

Well now have a new service to use!

I’m so tired of Nordvpn and raid.

Like if you’re playing an indie game that sponsored the video, that is sick.

I in no way wanna hear about man scaped while watching a Pokémon video.

I mean I just think of him as zoomer game show host. So that’s a bit harsh.

Most of his challenges either are straight rips or would feel right at home in survivor/fear factor, then some challenges are just big brother straight up.

But I suppose you can say the same thing about all game shows that have normal folks on it competing for life changing amounts of money.

He’s zoomer game show host.

All you really need to know.
