I can do most things reliably except for the ankles, but I’ve long since lost my ability to easily do my back and neck

And it’ll happen to you to meme

Ohhh lol, yea, it could be coming from the intro side though since it’s unlikely one would have a perfect balance between them

Ambivert is a hybrid between the 2, I’m perfectly fine being at say a party all night doing small talk and what not without needing to worry about a social battery, but I can also be completely comfortable being at home alone for days/weeks/months at a time without going going crazy like extroverts can get

I once rolled my ankle but in the most perfect way in which instead of pain, it was the most pleasurable “bone popping” I’ve ever had in my life. All those tiny ankle bone just popped like satisfying bubble wrap that you just grabbed and popped a bunch, it was so satisfying I was dazed for like a solid minute or 2.

I have spent 15 years trying to do it again to no success :(

The developers are openly communist

They are openly authoritarian “communists”, you don’t need to simp for China, Russia or NK to be a communist. But they do and they leverage the .ml Instance to do so. This is the point of contention for most (including myself) donating to them, and it was brought up in those threads numerous times. If they put in place a new admin team that was as unbiased and fair as possible, they would massively increase in donations. They won’t though because they know exactly what they’re doing with .ml to further their personal political ideology.

To paraphrase one user on one of those threads “Devs should do dev work and not mod work, admins/mods should do admin/mod work and not dev work”.

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

It was def a positive intent, a “fuck how did I miss that”

I dunno how or why they took it so…wrong I’ve never had that happen before lmao

But this is not the first system package replaced by a rust rewrite (on some distros) - something that has been working well for so long and is so fundamental for so many other softwares - is that wise?

Was there ever a problem wrt memory safety with sudo?

There’s been plenty of cases of a piece of software/library/whatever “working well” for years until one day OOPS there’s actually a gaping vulnerability in it. Hopefully, it’s a researcher that finds it first so it can be patched, but that doesn’t always happen. That’s how there’s a whole market for “0 days”

“Working well” != “Secure”

You would have no problem whatsoever if you had no company and just hosted in europe.

As an individual it would be so much worse, what are you talking about? They’re not going to go “Oh you’re an individual hosting in the EU, guess there’s nothing we can do”

Companies under the cloud act only have the ability to disagree if the country in question has an agreement with the us which currently only great britain has.

That’s only applicable for the other way, e.g. Britain (as an example) requesting data from a US provider. There are 2 parts to the act, part 1 is for the SCA to be amended so that the US can compel US companies to turn over data stored overseas and part 2 authorizes the entering of these agreements with foreign governments so when those governments wants data from a US company for their citizens they can fast track it.

The mechanism is always available if it’s the US wanting the data from a US company with overseas servers

It’s all right there in my link

Actually, having an LLC appears to increase my ability to defend against it

the Act provides a mechanism for a communications provider to challenge the order if disclosing the data would risk violating foreign law. Under the CLOUD Act, the legal protection of an individual’s rights depends on the objection by a provider. There is no direct mechanism for individuals to challenge an order under the CLOUD Act. A court will consider a provider’s challenge of an order for disclosure of data data and review the request under a multi-factor “comity” analysis to assess foreign and other interests at stake. However, U.S. court can require production of that data despite the objection, even where the laws of another nation would be violated.

By running it under an LLC I actually have a lawful mechanism to pull, not fool proof or airtight obviously, but it’s something I wouldn’t have without the LLC

I think you might have been running those LLCs under false information, maybe someone told you that years ago or something.

The IRS can’t “revoke” an LLC because an LLC is a state thing, only the state of incorporation can do that. The IRS really doesn’t care if you intend to make a profit or intend to run a business, only that if you do, you pay taxes on it. An LLC isn’t even required to file a return if they don’t make a profit.

And in most cases, Single-member LLCs (which is what I’d be opening) are dealt with on personal taxes.

Now, there may be a state that has some weird rules on LLCs where they do need to have an intent to turn a profit out there (and maybe you opened an LLC in your home state that does have these weird rules), but not with any of the “common” states (e.g. Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware)

Though, I’d be happy to take a look at a link/source you have of something that is directly related to what I’m doing, but I’ve already done a fair amount of research into this and this is the first I’m hearing of requiring an intention of profit

But that doesn’t say anything about LLCs needing to be run with intent for profit, it’s just a list of factors the IRS put out to help people determine if what they’re doing is considered an actual business or just a hobby. And not a single one said “opening an LLC”.

Lots of people open LLCs for lots of reasons other than a business to make profit, because it’s a cheap and easy way to get some liability protections

I pickup “downvote followers” from time to time because of what I say about .ml lol

Actually, neither is true, an LLC can in fact be run as a non-profit, what you’re thinking of is going public. Then yea, you gotta start making line go up (or promise line will go up really soon) because once you go public then you have shareholders and a board to answer to

A plain private LLC though you can do what ever you want to with it (within legal reason ofc)

It’s even theoretically possible to get 501©3 status on an LLC (though it’s rather tedious and not guaranteed, so its almost always is spun off to another entity for that)

It actually shouldn’t be all that problematic, money I put into its business account, from say my paycheck, is not seen as revenue. As long as the maths maths (e.g. I put 1000$ into it for the year from my paycheck, spent 800$ in infrastructure and still have 200$ in the account = all good (hopefully))

That’s more complicated and more costly, I’m still researching it, but so far from my current understanding when the time comes I should be able to either convert or “transfer” the LLC to a non-profit corporation later

I could still run it on servers outside of the US, and I might if I can find something that beats my current provider

Mostly for an additional degree or 2 of separation from me and maybe some liability protections. The US treats business better than humans after all lol any tax benefits would be a plus if it happens though

Lol I wish

Lol it was a .ml crosspost after all, I have broken the crosspost link to put in the proper comic link

But if we use AI to fight the AI, then what do we use to fight the AI we released to fight the AI‽
