Americans won’t be saved by the Democrats.

The CPC Network, coordinated by the European Commission, is publishing a set of guidelines today to promote transparency and fairness in the online gaming industry’s use of virtual currencies.

That doesn’t seem binding.

Amazing, make annexation dependent on a criminal organisation cooperating after you’ve spent decades funding that criminal org.

It’s still a bit hit or miss at the time I’m posting stuff. If I submit news for archival I’m getting an archive of a paywall very often. It happens with archive.is too but not that frequently.

I’m putting this for everyone’s convenience but I also don’t want to make a job for myself out of this.

If you know of a different archival service that’s popular enough to carry this kind of content then I’m open to suggestions. By the time I post this stuff archive.is already has a copy but other ones I check don’t.

I think that ceasefire ended when they bombed/killed ~1000 Palestinians in a day.

This or either Iran or Turkey intervenes because both are regional powers. Turkey will most likely stay away because Erdogan decided to seize a different opportunity (and conflict with Israel is a conflict with US). Iran on the other hand though… it really looks like they’re purposefully pushed into war.

There’s plethora of content on X like politicians, celebrities, media workers, quips, commentary on quips and commentary on commentary. They’re there because for those who made it that means money and influence. People enable it because they confuse politics with entertainment.

They’re trying to put a price tag on ability to influence societies. It does have value but I’m pretty sure everyone is guesstimating.

I’ve never heard of flywheel energy storage before. This is so cool, thanks!

I have no idea how the Chinese grid holds up but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did well because they’re not allergic to central planning.

The sole fact that people looking for long term relationships resort to Tinder is an example of how underserved that market is, and that’s because there’s too little money to make there. It’s more profitable to string people along with subscriptions and buy competition just to turn them into more Tinder clones.

People still make families even if they don’t have children anymore. People are also more likely to have kids when their life is safe and stable and having a partner definitely helps.

Mine was 2018 and I’m still with that girl I met on Tinder. Most of my age group met their partners there but there’s also no denying those apps are losing relevance. They worked for a time (although they always sucked for men), that is until inevitable enshittification.

I agree in regards to priority obviously but imagine that you have a dating app that doesn’t exist to extract every last cent out of you and is ran by people who are graded by amount of successful matches. There’s a huge crisis of solitude among younger people and technology is not the only reason for it. It can help a bit though.

Taxes keep schools and hospitals running and unless special tax is applied to fortune tellers I don’t see anything wrong with taxing them same way as everyone else.

My now long standing belief is that dating apps should be nationalised. It makes so much sense from the point of running a state that it’s hard to argue against. Give people free Tinder and get free votes lol.

I didn’t mean Nebula would be the answer but many Nebulas that would do better or worse based on their own decisions rather than everyone being beholden to a single corporate overlord.

I tried it some time ago. No algorithm behind it so if someone wasn’t already watching random Wikipedia pages this won’t make them do it.

A mixed bag. Yay for arresting human traffickers, nay for arresting sex workers?

Agreed, but I also wouldn’t mind if someone tried to work on an algorithm that would be entertaining while also being more beneficial to society. I don’t think it’s impossible to do and maybe people would be more okay with that as a replacement rather than having them quit cold turkey.
