They know how to attract players. If they choose not to, that’s on them

Perhaps you should look up the definition of “censorship”. You literally just described it

This is a ruling about content according to the quoted passage. That’s censorship of ideas by definition

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 points 1 day ago

Any ideas that the EU doesn’t want discussed. Support for Russia or criticism of Ukraine, for example.

NOTE that I do not support Russia or think Ukraine is wrong in the current environment. And I understand that any government wants to prevent opposing propaganda from spreading within its borders.

Is there a credible source for this? Netanyahu mouthpieces don’t impress me

There is some evidence that the environment always wins in the long term

Also not a legal expert, but

any natural or legal person directly or indirectly responsible for making available or transmitting that content to the public

would seem to catch personal social media posts as well. Otherwise, there’s still an exploitable loophole.

Aren’t EU sanctions economic? In that case, limiting RT seems reasonable. This ruling, though, seems aimed at enforcing a ban on discussing certain ideas. It’s censorship. Perhaps it’s justified, although censorship has never really worked; it’s only driven speakers underground and into dark corners where authorities can’t monitor them so easily.

Digital ID? Hold on.... (www.youtube.com)

EU's age verification scheme was illegal before it was even announced.

Private Security Camera (literature.cafe)

I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

Student Mental Health Webinars (hawkeslearning.lpages.co)

Is anyone else genuinely not interested in knowing what should be private details of another adult's health? I'm happy to point students to helpful resources that I know about, but treating them is not my job, nor am I interested in the liability of being seen as some sort of first responder. This is well and truly out of my wheelhouse, and I work to keep it that way.

Now that the end is in sight, how's it going?

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?

Interesting read. Since he likely knows a lot of these teams, nothing is stopping him emailing them gift cards.

Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.

The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

In another thread, @flooppoolf@lemmy.world made a post leading to the question "How long until we need to include a lesson on crafting appropriate AI prompts in order to help students use them as tools and not as unpaid ghost writers?" Are we already doing this?

I definitely discuss acceptable use and try to keep the guidelines brief and familiar (Treat it like a not-too-bright friend who's a patient sounding board). But how far do you all think we'll eventually have to wade into the weeds on this?

Who the hell thinks beta software is appropriate for real-world applications in something as dangerous as vehicle control at highway speeds?

I've come to believe that all Teslas should be recalled until they get their act together. They're getting people hurt and killed by field testing their experiments on roadways that we paid for.

People don’t like offices and are more productive when they’re happy. Who knew?
