Well let’s find out: Free Ukraine! Fuck Russia. Fuck China!

Yeah, the “active” sort also seems broken. I change to top with a day time period or hot. Works much better.

Tax all billionaires more?

It’s apparently good at 100% at classifying autism in groups that have already been flagged for high chance of ASD. It is not good at just any old picture.

That’s gonna be a lawsuit…

Lawyer here: this isn’t necessarily correct and in America it’s state dependent. There are absolutely parts of the law you can waive, including negligence of a party which is likely your bungee jumping scenario with the rope snapping.

It is unfortunately such a PITA to self host. Spent hours a few weeks ago trying to set it up and failed.

Lawyer here; it's almost certainly unconstitutional but it's a political tactic used to garner votes from ultra-conservatives. It doesn't have to win in court, it just has to make a splashy headline now, which his base will see, and then the base won't see the court losses months later.

That’s part of the problem; but, increasing tax rates (income, capital gains, depreciation recapture, 1031 exchanges etc) is needed even more than enforcement of existing. You’d be surprised how much of what the rich do to reduce their tax burden is perfectly legal and IRS enforcement would just be an annoyance.

I love this idea. OLD MEME JULY!

What was their reason for defederating? I tried to read their post and it didn’t make sense to me.

It's not that you're charging for API access; it's that you're charging US pharmaceutical industry pricing levels ($12,000 for something that should realistically be $200) and then only giving devs such a short time to implement changes. This was designed to kill 3PApps outright and everyone can see it. What an ass.

Owned by same company does not mean same tool. I own a bunch of m12 fuel and some Ryobi too. My Milwaukee stuff kicks the pants off of Ryobi but it is also a lot more expensive.

Debian.

That’s not a common thing in American contracts. Severability clauses take care of that.

Blizzard sure did fuck around and find out? I bought a new GPU a few months ago. It came with a free OW2 battle pass. Guess what never got redeemed? And I had hundreds of hours in OW1.

No benefits at all really. The smoke contains poison that causes cancer and nicotine causes vascular disease. If you really could quit anytime you should. But you can’t because you’re an addict. You should listen to your GF and quit. Otherwise you’re destroying your health and your relationship.

Just use your web browser on mobile. It works pretty damn well. Eventually we'll get an Apollo-level equivalent, but the web browser works SOOOOOO much better on Lemmy as compared to reddit. The responsiveness and themes work great.

Please excuse my ignorance: what’s a “tanky/tankies”?

One of the best games ever made.

Go read about the nightmare this Angola prison in Louisiana.

One small nitpick: it’s completely legal for a DA decide to charge/not charge for most (all?) crimes. Look up “prosecutorial discretion”.

Reminds me of the good ol IRC days.

This episode was great; a classic Xmas episode. You are all so negative. The season is on an uptick. The Dune episode was fantastic too. Give them a chance. There are so many jokes in these that are great.

Thanks for that. I had so many MP games back in the day. MOO2 is still probably my favorite strategy game of all time.

Like all good lawyer answers: maybe. I don’t know enough about the specific amended terms or their data breach. Courts sometimes enforce adhesion contacts and sometimes don’t. But retroactive in and of itself isn’t illegal; for example, if you could edit NOT retroactively settle a dispute, you’d have no settlement agreements.

Microprose? They survived? Or is this just some company that bought the name?

You’re trolling right?

That's a great shot!

I tried to run it with the docker image. Still a PITA. I’m not a noob when it comes to self hosting services.

Yes. Most of my family / peers have iPhones. So iMessage is the standard for them. We use signal for the rest.

Arrested Development. The Simpsons. Scandal. Scrubs. Friends.

  • Kubo and the Two Strings
  • In Bruges
  • A fish Called Wanda

Exactly! Or was the goal of the aliens to convert all of the earth’s bio mass into more prawns but there was a screw up and no queen caste was present?

What software is that?

Yea it will. Just not at a minute clinic. You need to go to an actual urgent care or primary care doctor.

When the 3PAs are actually gone and when they open Apollo or other app, that user is not going to be ok with the official Reddit app and they’ll look for an alternative. I bet a bunch end up on Lemmy or kbin.

Hell yea! I loved the worldbuilding of that movie. Give me more!

You’re referring to the contract concept of “consideration” which sometimes is the same as compensation but can also do doing/ not doing an action. Sometimes consideration isn’t required either, particularly if the original contract had adequate consideration and says future amendments don’t have to have it. (Depends a lot on which state). That may or may not matter here. It really depends on the specific terms at dispute and you can’t just assume it fixes this issue.
