It’s a warning, with the aim of getting them to comply with EU rules. Not a punishment to put them out of business. But repeat offenders can get repeat fines, up to 10% of global revenue (not profits) which is not a cost of business most companies can ignore.

Actually no, I haven’t seen any media coverage of protests in the US.

Trump does not have the cards to force a peace deal, or the skills to negotiate one. Ukraine and Putin are simply too far apart to meet in the middle.

Nah. You’re just blocked now.

Marine radar tends to have a collision alert. Even on autopilot, someone on the bridge should hear alarm bells. Assuming their equipment works. So gross negligence most likely.

Reddit links are ‘data’ now???

All we can get on that topic is wild speculations. Nobody who has inside knowledge of the exact capabilities of each of these countries is going to share that here.

And not using Tesla tech. Great!

That’s not entirely true. University assignments are scanned for signs of LLM use, and even with several thousand words per assignment, a not insignificant proportion comes back with an ‘undecided’ verdict.

The further get down this thread, the more you sound like a person I don’t want to deal with. And looking at the downvotes, I’m not the only one.

If you want people blocking you, perhaps followed by communities and instances blocking you as well, carry on.

You’re just being pedantic now. Merriam-Webster among others say chomping is acceptable now. Language changes, keep up or shut up

We already have, the French rafale is pretty good. They just aren’t made in sufficient numbers and you can’t ramp that up in a week

The USA is finished as a world power. It may descend into a fascist developing nation, there may be a civil war, they may trigger ww3. Who knows.

Cordless kettles manage to connect mains power with a round, freely turning connector, so it can be done safely

G6 it is then. After NATOTWO is set up

Same as uk, many UK citizens would probably fail the UK tests.

WW2 about to repeat itself.

I doubt Egypt will be destroyed without US aid. EU aid alone is twice the US figure and some Arab countries also provide significant amounts. It will hurt a bit, sure. But accepting 2 million palestinian refugees would also hurt.

I wish the EU was in a position to make a better offer.

There is no such thing as ‘free speech friendly’. Free speech is not absolute, and is defined / restricted differently across countries. So different instances will have to comply with their different local laws.

Also: an instance allowing comments doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. For example: you can criticise the Thai royal family all you want on a US based instance, but don’t ever show your face in Thailand after doing that if you value your freedom.
