I think you need to not be a small enterprise to fall under those rules.

You’d need more than 50 employees or EUR 10m in turnover. Each Lemmy server would likely count individually.

If you don’t get jokes it can’t be helped but try not to interrupt the rest of us.

Seems a little conincidental all of this and the story about MS locking the us gov into azure come out as soon as trump wins

There were rumours about one for rimworld but I’m not sure if it was real or on steam.

Kakoune is there for you

I wonder if “code” means pull requests and they have a load of automated ones to update versions of external and internal libraries

If someone sees an Angus steakhouse and actually goes in and buys food they must be blind. It’s the most obvious looking tourist trap of a chain you can imagine.

It perches itself on corners in busy parts of London next to major tube stations and preys on the dimmest and laziest tourists. It’s genuinely worrying so many people fall for it and go in, reviews or not.

Recommending it is more of a joke than a serious attempt to convince anyone it’s good.

Won’t compete or can’t compete?

I’m torn, because this is useless, but also I’d quite like them up high on a platform for everyone to point and laugh at.

Light my arse, from the start they’ve interrupted with adverts for their own crap making it barely tolerable. Even on the adfree tier.

Did it really need quotes?
Please don’t “well actually” this

Jfc Christ Lemmy.

Every single comment misunderstanding the point. The batteries are exploding because there’s explosives in them. This does make them exploding batteries. They explode because they are partially made with explosives. Please don’t “well actually” this.

No this is not a description of something Israel did, it’s a hypothetical way to do a similar attack to show how within reach of idiot terrorists it is.

Raising the idea of doing this so everyone is thinking about it is extremely bad for us all. Thanks Israel.

404 broke this with investigate journalism. Account needed to read, to prevent ai scraping.

Totally worth reading, just great internet creativity

The Facebook code that outputs to fediverse using activity pub can put any posts it likes into that feed, because it’s not mastodon it’s custom and can absolutely inject ads.

If this is the problem spending a lot of effort to also serve ads along with the real video seems like it’d increase costs.

What you’re talking about is a real problem for Google but it’s not the only cause of the new behaviour since Neal took over
