Not just French companies, companies in multiple EU countries (from the article). And it's only applicable if they want to do business with the US. This behaviour is pretty normal for them - they used to have policies about not buying from companies that used child labour, or didn't enforce DEI etc. They're just enforcing a different set of standards for their suppliers now.
I'm not saying it's not messed up, just that it's not unusual and shouldn't surprise anyone.
I'm very early Gen X and take issue with being excluded from that - we were in our early 20s as computing really started to develop. Maybe I'm biased because I worked in IT.
Yeah, I can accept that. I guess what really meant was fuck the current Dems that are so clearly complicit in whatever the GOP is doing and maybe even more Zionist. If they can be overhauled to the point they can, and do, get big money out (repeal citizens united), repair all the gerymandered districts etc. then sure - go Dems. I know that's a huge ask, but it's what's needed.
Fuck the Dems - I'm hoping it's a great sign for whatever party comes out of Bernie and AOC's current tour. (I know I don't really understand how things work there and I'm being optimistic talking about future elections.)
I thought it was a bit weird for him to be suggesting bombing Russia now.
When I go to mastodon and lookup OP, I can see their profile and it says they have 231 posts, but I can't see any of them - so I have no idea how this thread is displayed there.
Yep - my mother is one of them - she won't admit it directly, but it's clear from some of the stuff she says.
It's scary shit - I think there are three different "accelerationist" groups trying to destroy society as we know it. The christians waiting for the rapture, Curtis Yarvin's tech bros that want to build their techno feudal cities and the extreme preppers that want to see some return on their investment. Have I missed anyone?
It doesn't work for me either. Just reading the text on the page linked here was uncomfortable. It's not like you describe though - for me it's like there's too much white space and there's this mass of words almost floating around the page and it's hard to keep track of where I'm up to. I am a bad/slow reader and all reading is like that for me - that font just seems to make it worse.
They steal from everyone. My wife was stuck in a hotel with no room service about a year ago and didn't feel up to walking for food. She found that she could get a free year doodash subscription through her Amazon Prime. She joined, got her food and promptly cancelled the subscription. We've just been through the joy of getting a refund for two months of doordash that hit our credit card.
Must depend on your client and/or instance settings - I see raw up/down vote counts.
Or accept that God sent the scientists that developed the vaccine. The whole "will of God" argument is always so full of holes - logic doesn't come into it.
I think Lemmy has an issue with the same community existing on multiple servers and the "big stories" tend to get posted to all of them. So you'll mark a post as read on (for example) [email protected] only to see it again a minute later on [email protected]. If this is what you're experiencing, I don't think there's a solution yet, but I think some options are being worked on.
