Still a pretty big hurdle for most bots that just aimlessly flow through the webs trying to sign up for things. I don't think anyone will bother tailoring their bot for europe.pub.

Putting the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy between the question and the answer field might further confuse LLM outputs. :)

Well, duh.

Oh yeah, it seems like half the posts I made on reddit in the end were shadow deleted, and I'm not even sure what I did wrong. Just automatic and instant action from Reddit. At least here when your shit is deleted you know about it.

I'm not here to suffer fools.

And bans come cheap because they're on an instance level. Go out and find yourself a place where you belong. If it turns out the people you'd like to talk to don't like you back, maybe recalibrate.

The Commission has no law-making power on its own. They can open proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union to verify compliance with existing laws, or they propose legislation that will have to go through other EU institutions (the Parliament, which is elected, and the Council, which consists of representatives from Member State governments).

The job of the Commission is to propose laws. The job of the other institutions is to reject these laws if they are stupid. The Commission opening an investigation does not mean that the EU is "adopting similar regulations" - it is an extremely long way away from that.

And even the Commission itself is likely to contain a wide spectrum of opinions within it - it tends to be a strange political constellation. So until there's a Commission proposal (as happened with chat control) there's really nothing. After the Commission proposal, we need to make sure it's stopped by pressuring national governments (Council) and elected MEPs (Parliament).

Are you talking about chat control?

It was rejected once, and will be rejected again. At least if people mobilize a bit against it. There's a long way from Commission proposal to law.

Equating the proposal of a law with the adaptation of it is highly misleading. The EU is a complex institution where different bodies are pulling in different directions.

I think it reveals that the antagonist is more used to hunting humans than animals, and that referring to the target as an "it" takes a bit of getting used to.

For the movie it might help make the stakes seem a bit higher, underlining that this is no ordinary hunt.

But also of course it hints that he know the identity. Especially so maybe when he feels the need to correct himself - the vicar gets the feeling something is off.

Is there a pretty list of federated NodeBB forums anywhere? I like to check out which ones are listed on fedidb every now and then, but it's not the most convenient list as the topic of the forum is often obscure based on its name.

(I really enjoy being able to follow and participate in communities in forums around the web - thanks for making it possible!)

Shouldn't we try to gift them our technology so they are better equipped to survive?

Looking at the state of affairs right now, I'm not entirely sure this is the effect the "gift of technology" has had. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they end up outliving all of us.

group of people who don't want to compromise on any of their values

Of course I don't want to compromise my values in order to see growth of a platform that I use precisely because it aligns with my values.

Immigration officials on Tuesday morning arrested 25-year-old union farmworker activist Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez in Sedro-Woolley, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement records and Juarez’s fellow organizers.

Juarez, who is a member of the Indigenous Mexican Mixteco community, has organized on behalf of farmworker rights in Washington state since he was 14 years old and worked as a berry picker, according to Rosalinda Guillen, a longtime activist leader and founder of social justice group Community to Community Development.

Guillen says Juarez called her shortly before 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday and she heard Juarez’s partner screaming and crying before the call abruptly ended.

“(It was) Lelo’s voice saying, ‘Leave her alone. She has nothing to do with this. I was just taking her to work,'” Guillen said.

An ICE spokesperson said Juarez is a citizen of Mexico and was ordered by an immigration judge to return there in 2018. Juarez “refused to comply with lawful commands to exit the vehicle he was occupying at the time of the arrest,” according to the spokesperson, and will remain in ICE detention during deportation proceedings.

Juarez was driving his partner to her job at a tulip bulb company in Mount Vernon, said Edgar Franks, political director for Indigenous farmworkers union Familias Unidas por la Justicia. Franks said officials broke Juarez’s window and forced him out of the vehicle. Juarez later called from an ICE facility in Ferndale, Whatcom County, and said he had been detained.

Protests were held in Tacoma yesterday.

🚨 🇺🇸 The 50501 movement has set up its own forum! 🇺🇸 🚨

It's hard to know where to organize the resistance, as corporate platforms seem to be increasingly susceptible to censorship. In response to this, #50501 / #fivefiftyone has set up their own forum at https://50501.chat/ - completely off reach from any influence by the #US government.

The forum, which is an instance of Lemmy and therefore on the Fediverse, has State-specific communities. Users of #Mastodon can participate in the discussion directly by tagging for example @New_York@50501.chat or @California@50501.chat.

Use it to organize and spread the words of protests in your State!

Users of Lemmy or similar platforms can find the State-specific communities at, for example, !Georgia@50501.chat.

Feel free to spread the word!

 

It's almost as if American tabloids have learned they can generate clicks by refusing to recognize the reality of the situation.

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.
