Apparently the government is using the excuse of the current emergency situation to ban a much larger protest scheduled in Utrecht against cuts to university funding. I think the fascist hooligans were too macho to get their asses beat intentionally, but stirring shit up sure was convenient.

Thought about this exact video as well.

No. As a rule of thumb whenever the EU does something half decent it's either by necessity or accident.

Tech companies are already lobbying hard at both the European and national levels. The recent AI Act looks like it's written more by policy wonks who drank the AI industry's Kool-Aid than by actual experts in the field. On one side they want to cut funding to NGI0, one of the few genuinely good things the EU did in recent memory, which - among other things - funds Lemmy development, and costs pennies at the scale of the EU budgets. On the other they're planning to pump ungodly amounts of money into "the AI industry" - whatever the fuck that is - because they got sold on GenAI being the next big thing and they don't want to be left behind.

In EU policy for every half decent thing like the GDPR the are many ChatControls and similarly terrible ideas.

I see your Toum and I raise Yemen's Zhug: another absolutely banging middle eastern condiment. It's easy af to make, you can decide how spicy you want it, and it rips. I put it on basically anything.

It's barely the start of his long list of crimes. I just wanted to share this specifically since I'm currently in Laos and it seems like a part of the Vietnam War's horrors that people know less about.

I should be, yes. It shows up as "pending" but AFAIK that's a known bug, I should be subscribed anyway.

Does an instance stop receiving comm updates when there are no more users subscribed to it? I know as soon as one user subs updates start coming in, but it seems we were receiving slop (at least for CTH) until about a week ago when it stopped. Me subbing didn't make the slop start flowing again.
