You can tell how they own an american restaurant instead of an italian one because they serve fettuccine alfredo and garlic bread.

Actually, let's hope it does! I wouldn't like to see lemmy become a maga assholes haven like reddit!

If well stored and with undamaged packaging, it can go for years without trouble. With bff products i generally go to groceries stores and look for a section dedicated to these products. They sell them cheaper and are completely safe. Good way to save money and fight food waste.

In Europe we use expiration and best before dates.

With exp. dates, don't push it: they mean after that date, the food could spoil and there's biological risk on eating it. One day? Ok. 3 days... only if you have to and after looking closely for signs of spoiling. Cook it thoroughly.

With BBF dates, there is no risk unless evident contamination, meaning that after that date, the food will be edible but might have a different taste. Obviously, look for mold if the product was open, bwt it's generally safe to eat even after years. Except fresh uncooked food, almost everything else falls in this category here.

At this point I can't even blame twitter. If after everything they are doing, you still stay on twitter, the only one to blame for whatever happens to your data, is you.

I love how they gave a TL;DR right at the beginning of the article, it made me stay and read the rest out of respect for the author.

Google lives of the ads (among the things), of course a browser they develop is going to screw the add-ons that block ads. Solution: avoid google if you want an ad-free internet.

The amount of creativity in the indie world is insane. It's been a lot of years since I last played a AAA game because of this.

Have you ever played as a crow? There's an indie game for that.

Have you ever played a shooter in which you literally shoot people trendy clothes instead of bullets?

The creativity is there, you just won't find it in your typical AAA, because that game's only goal is to milk your wallet.

There's no collapse of creativity. There's just a collapse of the industry that now is in the hands of shareholders whose only goal is profit.

As soon as your company gets controlled by those, your creativity becomes a need to make another soulless "blockbuster".

Look at the indie world instead. There is creativity, it's just incompatible with the AAA business model.

Funny. I was in a group of people (was, in past tense) that made fun of me because I was the first one to change minds if new evidence showed that I was wrong. They saw it as a weakness, as if my ideas were wrong because I was able to change them if I was proved wrong.

I guess this helps explain why I "was" and not "am" a part of that group anymore.

To sum it up: twitter's business is so irrelevant that they don't qualify to be subject to the DMA.

Ketamine Karen must be hurting after such a burn.

Important note: We are talking about the Digital Markets Act, not to be confused with the Digital Services Act.

Honestly, I am not very talkative. I am bad at small talk so I rarely speak unless asked directly about something specific.

Because of this, I believe that if someone asks me about something, it's because they are interested in what I have to say about it.

To answer your question, I will not go to tell someone about my last trip unless they ask me about it because I consider that it's not that interesting to the others if (like I do) they are not asking about it.

 

The new "Omnibus" law in italy tries to block piracy by basically creating a situation in which you will face jail time if you get caught watching an illegal streaming (or your IP does) and ISP and IP providers (they name VPN and DNS services) will face jail time too if they don't notify the authorities of "illegal activity" done by their users.

E.g. if I watch a soccer streaming from a pirate site, apparently, my VPN provider (in this case, Proton) will have to notify the authorities that I am watching that pirated content.

This is madness in so many ways, starting by the fact that the law implies that both my ISP and my VPN provider must spy my traffic to see if I am watching any illegal content.

I wanted to know if Proton has anything to say about all of this for their Italian customers. How are you guys going to face this? Will you simply stop providing the service? Will you ignore the law because you are not an italian company? Or will you spy our traffic to see if we are watching a soccer game?

I'm quite worried right now about the implications of this law to my privacy. Not because I pirate content but because the punishement for those who don't notify the authorities means that to avoid legal problems, services like Proton will have to actually read our traffic.
