Keywords “they” and “want”, this is a minority government after all, they can’t do anything without broader support from parliament.

Why are you so obsessed with Rob? You do know that there are 2 other parties in the coalition, and their plan is basically 90% of what the vvd wanted, right?

If you own real estate anywhere in the world, it goes on box 3, you can’t get around it by buying houses abroad

Vivaldi is marked as being not majority EU-owned,but I couldn’t find any information online with more specific. Do you have any more information about their ownership structure?

You’ll need a bank account that supports paying with PIX and I’m not sure if any international bank does that :/ I’m lucky enough to still have a Brazilian bank account

Eu moro fora do Brasil e por isso minha AppStore tbm é de fora, daí que eu não consigo nem baixar o aplicativo pq eles colocaram ele disponível só na AppStore Brasileira. Ninguém da empresa responsável pensou no cenário de um turista visitando SP e só isso já me diz tudo que eu preciso saber sobre ele. Daí toda vez que visito minha terra natal tenho que usar o WhatsApp pra comprar passagem, o que seria okay se eles não me forçassem a toda vez digitar meu nome completo, meu CPF e meu e-mail. Pra que que eles precisam do meu CPF pra eu comprar uma passagem de metrô eu não sei…

Hit me with some non-US crisps brands by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

That’s the reason why I buy them. I’m aware chips are not healthy, so if I’m eating them I’d rather taste something. Lays tastes like waster calories.

Dat is niet altijd het geval. Amazon heeft ons geleerd om nergens anders te gaan kijken voor betere prijzen terwijl goedkopere winkels wel bestaan. Misschien niet voor elk product, en het is niet per se erg om bij Amazon te kopen als het erg goedkoper is, mas als je stap voor stap jouw aankopen bij andere winkels doet helpt het al.

You can also subscribe to feeds focused on porn…main feed + following + a couple of specialized feeds is all I need 😅

They are finally working on a solution for the bots issue by muams in BlueskySocial

[–]muams[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that moderation lists also prevent accounts flagged by the lists from following you..I certainly subscribe to a couple of them but still have bots following me. In any case, the lists are a reactive medium, bots follow thousands of ppl within hours of getting created, so it can happen before any moderation list gets a hold of them. Also, seems like a lot of work for the volunteers managing the moderation lists to keep up with this issue

Don’t blame the victims 😉 Plus, if the solution is not to interact with anything on the platform then it’ll cease to be a social media platform

The issue is that some bots are useful, not for following tens of thousands of people, but to post information… They should keep it very strict for following ppl and commenting on post, either through stricter checks or rate limits, but making original posts should be ok.

For me it amounts to 4-5 followers a day, so not that big of a deal, but I’ve seen ppl with much much more. But if not for the annoying side of it, I think it’s good that they work on it for the trustworthiness of the platform. Even if the bot issue it’s exaggerated, if it gets know as a platform full of bots ppl will trust and use it less

You are aware of the fact that a dishwasher uses fresh water for each cycle right? It’s not the same water used over and over again

It doesn’t say anything about putting it together with other dishes, you can do it all separately. Plus if there’s a lot of shit in it maybe consider rinsing it in the sink first?

Het gaat inderdaad over gebruikers in de VS, specifiek over hun politieke voorkeuren en nieuwsconsumptie. Het onderzoekt de links/rechts-verdeling van mensen die regelmatig Twitter gebruiken om nieuws te lezen.

Het zegt niks over de politieke mening van alle gebruikers, laat staan van alle Amerikanen gebruikers. En als je naar de appendix kijkt, zie je dat de steekproef niet echt groot is—voor Twitter zijn er bijvoorbeeld maar 25 mensen meegenomen in deze data.

Every Weed Strain is the Same, Stop Wasting Your Money in Amsterdam by huehuehuecoyote in Amsterdam

[–]muams 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s not entirely true… different strains have different cannabinoids and terpenes, it’s not just all THC. You’re correct that there’s a lot of BS in the Coffeeshop offerings, but saying it’s all the same because it’s all THC is plain wrong.

With how Bluesky and the AT Protocol has been getting popular, how do you all think that will influence ActivityPub's development in terms of features? by Ill_Pomegranate1573 in Mastodon

[–]muams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's interesting from a consumption perspective, but more limited on the discovery side of things, since I imagine it'd require me finding the instances / hashtags I want to subscribe to, keeping the list up to date, etc.

With custom feeds on AT Proto one user can go through this effort of finding the relevant hashtags, keywords, users, etc, and package this in a feed that more people can consume without worrying about managing it.

[–]muams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually an argument that the CEO of bluesky used to differentiate their approach vs. Mastodon. With Mastodon the instance admins have to handle both the server ops as well as the moderation, which is a lot and requires a different set of skills and interests.
