The anti-coercion instrument, known as the “big bazooka” of the EU’s trade arsenal, would give the commission powers to go after US multinational companies, slapping extra taxes on the digital revenues of tech firms.

Unfortunately zero-indexed Mondays are the only sane way to live life…

I don’t know Yvon of the Yukon, but maybe Northern Exposure?

I just use DND - Not sure what you mean by “DND still makes you receive the notifications”

You mean like Critical Alerts? I think they’re rare enough and potentially important enough that I’d like to get them

Then don’t say it.

Just a shower thought…

…not a sermon?

I recently bumped my monthly instance donations by 20%.

I hope to be able to cover as many folks who can’t afford it as I can…

You’re right and Lemmy.ml’s reputation has contributed to my hesitation in donating to development. But I also use Mastodon pretty regularly and I haven’t contributed to its development either. I have no explanation.

You just sent me on a real journey. In high school if you’d asked me or my friends, we would have told you I was a huge Pink Floyd fan.

When I thought about what my favorite album was I realized all I really knew were pretty basic-bitch albums. DSOTM, The Wall, Is there Anybody Out There; and Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Then I started thinking about how I could feel like such a fan and only have so few albums. Then I realized this was before music was pervasively available to listen to for free at any time.

I distinctly remember the day I decided I was splurging on The Wall double CD set. I’d been stalking it at the record store for months, but it was $30 in 1994 (that’s sixty-five inflation adjusted dollars in 2025!) so I’d kept passing on it despite desperately wanting it.

TL;DR: I’m old but now I’m catching up on some good music I’d missed out on

Why is sentry mode the the bar to cross?

Let me ask you a question: how do you feel about frilly toothpicks?

Got it.

I can confirm that was pretty mildly interesting given the potential it had.

Thanks - this is the most definitive thing I’ve seen…
