The issue is what mechanism could be used to force Google to pay, but also prevents Google from saying "yeah, we just won't provide any links to those sites at all".

Are they going to force Google to index those sites against their will? If so, how? Even if they could, would you really want that? Will it be just as cool for Russia to force Google to index whatever it wants, too? Are they just going to take money from Google no matter what, and give it to the news sites, even if Google isn't indexing them?

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't see a notification.

Google is pointing out that the news sites need google more than google needs the news sites.

This sort of thing happens every once in a while; some country's news organizations think that google should have to pay them for the privilege of helping people find their sites. Google responds by blacklisting news sites from that country. The news sites suffer more than google does, and they reverse the decision.

The best we can hope for, under the circumstances, is that Roberts comes to deeply regret that decision, as Trump turns on him.

I don't think you've fully realized what is going on. The message Trump is sending is "if you do my bidding, there will be no consequences". The law is now a tool to protect those people Trump wants protected, and a weapon to hurt those Trump wants hurt.

Classic fascism. Buckle up.

Well, that's a good point but I still think there are better services than Twitter/microblogging for that. Like our old friend RSS

Sure, but you can get that with something more long-form, too; it's not exclusive to Twitter/microblogging .

Keeping in mind that I'm just giving personal opinions, I found Discovery to be too... over acted? Maybe that was just how it was written but the end result, for me, was that I was constantly rolling my eyes while watching.

Picard seemed okay but in the end I didn't like the obvious appeals to nostalgia, for me it felt like it leaned too heavily on it instead of trying to stand on its own as a good show.

I have no idea if my experiences align with the broader community or not, but I found myself forcing myself to watch each respective show so I didn't bother watching when a new season came out.

Please don't take my comment as anything but me sharing my experiences with someone else who is a fan of the franchise.

SNW I'm totally on board for, though. And I was hesitant about Lower Decks at first but it's really a good show, imo. It's so good that it has me questioning my decision to ignore The Orville for being too silly.

I would argue that the format incentivizes short quips and discussions lacking nuance in favor of brevity, and yes, therefore it's "bad" (to use their term) to use Twitter even if musk wasn't turning it into Truth Social.

Well, arguably the microblogging format does have some intrinsic disadvantages.

I have a golden doodle and he will destroy almost any toy in a few minutes. The only exception is those solid rubbery dog toys, which take him several hours to start chipping away at.

They're probably fine but if you are really concerned, call a local veterinarian office and ask.

Well, maybe free time doesn't happen in the first year, but I was a nuke; quals weren't all that bad from what I remember.

There might be a choking hazard depending on how they break up? A vet would be able to tell you more definitely.

 

When viewing a specific comment, there is a link to "show context" that would show the comment one level up. Now, this link does not appear to do anything.

I assume this was introduced by the latest update.

I'm using the default UI (https://lemmy.world). I tried on both desktop and mobile versions of the website.

 

The Supreme Court has blocked President Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for more than 40 million Americans. The court's conservative justices expressed skepticism about Biden's authority to forgive student loan debt without direct authorization from Congress.

 

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a web designer can refuse to create websites for same-sex weddings on religious grounds. The case involved a Colorado web designer named Lorie Smith, who refused to create a website for a same-sex couple's wedding. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, alleging that Smith's refusal violated their civil rights.
