Nope. I don't talk about myself like that.

You should stop lemmying while in the shower. Bad for your electronic device.

My dad just had surgery to clear a massive DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)... and it seems to be semi-hereditary for my family so I listened to the doctor pretty closely. If he had exerted himself in any way that broke off even a little bit of the clot, he would have died... Would it be the injuries fault or the clots fault?

Anyone who solely blames an injury that dislodges the clot is missing the forest for the trees. In my dad's case, it was a ticking time bomb for literally anything to dislodge it. Could have been as simple as walking that could have done it. They immobilized his leg immediately. In this case, for an injury the day prior... to be the dislodge event is a bit odd. It would have been pretty immediate from my understanding, it's likely the injury loosened it, and some other inane event dislodged it completely. The clot already existed... and many other events could have triggered it to dislodge.

If this is the only individual that can be used as the example... I'm not onboard personally.

Off-topic is not a rule of the community

Uhh you sure about that chief?

Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.

It's right there... first rule. My sidebar of my instance has nothing to do with this post, or mods, or admins, or any sanctions you would receive.

You got but hurt that I (and somebody else) downvoted you and then started asking questions about my instance, without even tagging me to ask me... That's literally the definition of off topic. That is the reason it was removed. What more discussion would tagging db0 net you?

BTW... I downvoted you because I didn’t think the comment actually further discussion and specifically shuts down any meaningful discussion. Not sure what the verbiage in my sidebar has to do with any of that.

You can read the mod log. No reason to harass anyone when the reason is already spelled out.

But since you want to take screenshots and question my instance.

It's effectively a single user instance. That is what I mean by private lemmy instance. I have a handful of users on my instance that are all people I directly know. The implication is that I will not accept general people signing up to my instance, thus "private".

No idea what they're implying either. I downvoted them because I didn't think the comment actually further discussion and specifically shuts down any meaningful discussion. Apparently that is "some interesting attention".

That's not up to the Joe.

And no they haven't. They're under northcom. Northcoms primary duty/role is to respond to these events. My unit was trained for a rotation under for this exact duty back in 2010.

Nothing illegal about sitting around and doing nothing... or riot defense against a building though... Which is the only things I've seen thus far.

Nah, just about any rifle round can. It's a matter of hitting it somewhere important though. Most people can't hit anything at any meaningful distance. So now you're going to shoot into the air, miss the helicopter and take out someone a couple miles away as collateral.

They don’t have enough people to get to us all unless we are compliant.

This is incorrect. They absolutely have enough people to monitor the feeds for detected people and collect people up individually after the fact, which is exactly what the speakers/statements are alluding to.

This is why "AI" bullshit is bullshit. This is why cameras on literally every traffic light is bad. This is what a lot of people have been screaming since 9/11. With the TSA and other organizations collecting information all willy nilly.

Top xx% may get "with distinction". I held a 4.13 (capped at 4.0). I went on to teach at the institution for a few years after graduating as well. So I've spent a significant amount of time in academia.

But because of the higher standard for grad schools, typically requiring a 3.0+ to stay active (rather than the typical undergrad 2.0), latin honors dont make sense if the whole grad year is basically getting them. So they're not commonly issued.

graduated Summa Cum Laude in [...] her Master’s degrees

Graduate programs generally do not do Latin honors...

Nothing special about it. It's just an aggregate/repack of the smaller torrents that broke them out by letter groupings. They're the same exact files otherwise.

There's been a lot of posts that say "azaz" or "aazaz" or some other variant lately. I ignore them all at this point... but I'm surprised that admins haven't started banning them from their instances on sight... This post has been up way too long. Mods are clearly sleeping.

Yes... it's only been 1.1 months since they've first issued fines under the DMA... What a long and litigated history! Definitely shows what you claim it does over it checks notes 2 issued fines ever.

Funny part is, DMA has been law since MAY 2023. So in 2 years... it issued 2 fines ever... less than 2 months ago.

But right! NO COMPANY EVER DARES IGNORE IT!

LMFAO. Right.

The Financial Times reported in January that the EU was planning to soften its regulatory practices around Big Tech following an increase in pressure from the US, with the new EU Commission that took office in December reportedly being more focused on enforcing compliance than issuing hefty fines.

Weird... Doesn't sound like the commission even wants to issue fines at all!

I don’t think you understand the fact that the DMA allows fines of up to 20% of a company’s global total turnover for repeated infractions.

And how many times has that happened?

None? Great, we're on the same page now.

The only mechanism of "enforcement" that the EU is levying is fees/fines. M$ can absorb a large amount of fees/fines pretty readily if it means complete market capture.

There is no "force" here when it's just the "cost of doing business".

The EU isn't raiding M$'s headquarters and capturing board members/C-suites. There is no "force".

I mean they kind of are? It's not like M$ couldn't just pay the fines and keep things as is.

There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.

Your in self hosting community... You can't build in Wix and selfhost. Wix relies on their infrastructure always being present.

Their understanding of math is the gore.

Just so happens that I'm the god of gluttony.
