@AryehDubois @sporadica no but we can arrest people responsible and nationalize the company if they want to betray us like that
They don't deserve to make any profit at all over this

@sporadica If one machine is enough for a catastrophe, this is already over. You cannot control individual items like that, they will always be smuggled in one way or another.

correct me if i'm wrong, but China getting their hands on an ASML euv machine is a WAAAAAYYYY bigger deal than like some Nvidia chips finding their way over there, fuck
Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told ASML tonight that the US government believes that one of its ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines may have somehow made its way into China. Senior administration officials said they have evidence that ASML is not acting in good faith.

@wsleysnipes @graysonguinn_ @shiningbower @jakozloski @GBBranstetter But why not take the least restrictive route possible? I think that is a good principle in general for any government action
So require health and saftey standards for the horses, and severely fine companies that dont comply. I would rather see that than jumping straight to bans
English
@graysonguinn_ @shiningbower @jakozloski @GBBranstetter Freedom to what? Watch horses die? Acquiring a horse and carriage isn’t the same as a food truck it’s not some easily accessible dream any aspiring entrepreneur can get in on the ground floor of

I was wondering why the Central Park horse carriages haven't been banned yet and jokingly said "is there some all powerful horse and buggy lobby 😅" and every New Yorker just looked at me like this
English
@LukaBoiLmao @Showori_ @Azalakhir1 Because they see its an easy way to get attention and be popular, even if that type of attention is bad or dangerous.
But that is not new either, these kinds always existed. Its more that twitter is just super lax on banning. These ppl wouldn't last long on other sites.
English
@Showori_ @Azalakhir1 Internet safety isn't taught anymore as far as I'm aware. And yeah the whole situation is fucked.
Personally, I told her anonymously on straw page to stay safe then blocked her.

It's interesting how minors get told to fuck off from adult spaces like BAtwt for just being there. But when they post suggestive cosplay? Suddenly it's fine and they get full support. Big difference between quietly existing in a space vs actively posting provocative content

@milliemeows_ the US government is absolute fucking cancer and everyone involved needs to die
that doesn't mean the public and the culture is horrible too, the left should be using this positive perception to help unify their position

@kastellerose @VioletGrimoire_ @creepdimensions @SocksAgency Interesting, if you don't mind me asking what determines that ratio? Where would the security typically be deployed and what would they be doing?
English
@Popingheads @VioletGrimoire_ @creepdimensions @SocksAgency for an event that size, 30 minimum. So at least double the max they were looking at.
English
To clear speculation:
We approached onkey a month ago with items that need to be addressed to ensure a safe and functional convention. We gave them ample time to show us they are prepared to host an event with proper security, labor and event management and we were not confident they would be able to secure these key measures before it was critically necessary with what was provided. Our primary concern is always safety when sponsoring or participating in an event.
To anyone deciding to go to onkey, we hope you have a fun and safe time, however we will not be attending as these answers did not measure to our standards

@Janarab6 @Gasten95 That is a view someone can hold... shota stuff is pure fiction but this is based on a real person who doesn't want this kind of art.
Not to mention the legal angle. I wouldn't draw nsfw because it leaves me open to a copyright strike from the IP holder (the vtuber in question).
English
@VioletGrimoire_ @creepdimensions @kastellerose @SocksAgency What is enough then? That ratio doesn't sound bad, that is higher than many events I've attended before.
English
@creepdimensions @kastellerose @SocksAgency They were anticipating 500-1000. So yeah not enough for that scope

@max_moefoez @vibingleaf @Tontada223 Professional studios wouldnt (shouldnt) be buying robux... they would be talking directly to the roblox support/devs and be paying an invoice or doing some other money transfer
Making a professional studio use something as insecure as robux is just ridiculous. So whats this for?
English
@vibingleaf @Tontada223 yeah duh, smartass
no one is actually gonna spend 1,000$ to purchase 100K robux for an expedited review on their game
obviously expedited reviews are meant for professional studios that want a fast pass since they could easily earn 100K within a day or two WITHIN the platform
English
It only costs $100 to upload a game on steam btw
RTC@Roblox_RTC
Developers can now pay a refundable fee of 100,000 Robux to have their game quickly reviewed for access on Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, bypassing the 500 Highly Engaged Players requirement.

@jcal941 @kotetsutoysjp Kinda its still a politically apt position. In 2024 there were 3 Ds and 2 Rs on the commission and it passed 5-0, so unanimous anyways...
Also the organization is currently fucked at leadership level since trump fired all 3 dems and left a lot of vacancies, which is unhelpful rn
English
@kotetsutoysjp So, this was passed back in December 2024, so not tied to the tariffs and such. And it's not by Congress, Biden, or Trump. 5 no-names that are on the board of the CPCS all agreed that this should be done, and it had an 18 month buffer to quietly sit. Bloated government problems
English
I don't know what will happen, but I've resolved myself to close the store if the worst comes to the worst. There’s probably no other option besides repealing or relaxing this law(regulation?).
We've managed to weather the tariffs and the COVID-19 pandemic, but I really don't think there's anything we can do about this.
The U.S. government thinks they can create every Otaku items in the U.S.

@Snuckygargamel @nenecrusader @milkkirie 99% of content creators wouldn't be able to make back such a high fixed price, so I don't think it actually makes sense from either side.

@nenecrusader @milkkirie Content creators can pay for it.
Everything gets super expensive once its commercial, its the norm because the funds are there.

@HSmythe10 @Mkellytx2 Also we plan to keep them for another 30-40 years, so plenty of time to pay off the upgrade I'd say.
Hopefully it is considered.

@Mkellytx2 Agreed but so is replacing the radar, the engines, and so on.

The seats have not been modernized. They're still the old school Weber cordite catapult from your T-38 days. No sequencing, weekly knowledge questions about controlled sequencing fire and no fire. AC acts as the director, RN acts as the jumpmaster for the jump seats.
That low they never had a chance to get out.

The B-52 has ejection seats, but I don’t know how modernized they are. Four crew seats eject upward, while two crew eject downward. I’m hoping, but it doesn’t look good so far.

@tea_for_dolls @TheGuiltyofgear @Hatsune_Goro @novadolls It's worth noting physical media is supposed be excluded from tariffs in general. No companies should be charging anything (tariffs or fees) to import stuff like books.

@talonross43 @YIMBYLAND To be fair that is horrible in commercial aviation.
In comparison US passenger aircaft very often have zero deaths per year, while moving far more people much further.
English
@YIMBYLAND Yall only hear about the accidents though. There’s like less than 130 deaths a year. *most* of the time the accidents are pilot error
English
I once saw a helicopter go down in the East River next to Carl Schurz park when I lived on the UES. I was the first to call 911 and watched the whole nightmare unfold.
The helicopter lost power, auto-rotated down safely, landed softly on the water, and everything seemed like it was ok. Except one of the landing gear airbags failed to inflate, causing the helicopter to flip upside down in the water. The pilot scrambled out and was screaming for help as he bobbed in and out of the helicopter, trying to rescue his passengers. Come to find out, this was an aerial photography tour and the passengers were secured to the helicopter via a full-body harness and a locking carabiner in the middle of their back. Nobody managed to free themselves from their restraints and all 4 drowned. Eventually the pilot gave up, crawled on top of the half-submerged helicopter, and floated down the East River as he continued to scream for help.
Helicopters are death traps and will kill you in ways you can’t even imagine. Life is too precious to fly in a helicopter. It’s not worth it.

@BoeingB52BUFF I’m always surprised that the F-117 beats them all.

BUFF has a radar cross section (RCS) of approx. 100 square meters, but you know what?
BUFF doesn't care. If you see it, you probably won't be around long enough to tell anyone.

@Mrtrolling67712 @Uncle_memelin @ketteimish So when are you going to stop pushing your personal ideology into the community too?

@Uncle_memelin @ketteimish The accounts with the trans flags weren't rage baiting though. They genuinely were trying to push their ideology onto the community, but kept failing and since they knew we understood what they were doing, they decided to save face by calling it rage baiting.
English
@36F5VE @faithandheresy And those expensive lights take hours to replace and cost thousands of dollars when they break.
Its absolutely not worth it on most cars. People struggling to get by don't need maintenance and purchase costs to be higher. Save it for luxury crap.
English
@faithandheresy Is that why the european manufacturers are the ones pushing the headlight tech forward as to where the American legislature doesnt even allow the newest brightest light tech from european manufacturers? Like laser headlights and matrix led that americans just barely got now?

@dumbfuck_actual @Selatrop @53gaDr3amca5t I mean the first war to use aircraft is pretty notable on its own. Let alone armored vehicles, poison gas, automatic SMGs, submarines. Plus the political fallout of the war was huge, ending empires and setting up WW2
In a way it was the most defining conflict of the 20th century

Do Wehraboos still exist? I may just not be in the circles they frequent, but I haven’t seen any in the wild since 2021. I assumed they shared a similar fate to Reddit Atheists and /lit/bros.
English
@mode_suspicious @53gaDr3amca5t meh not a great example cause their machine guns are like the one thing that was legit good. The 34/42 basically invented the category of GPMG and is still produced today as the MG3, rechambered in 7.62 with a slightly slower RoF.
English
@53gaDr3amca5t Its because the wehraboos have started getting bullied by people who point out that the tiger is fuel inefficient and easy bombing practice or that the mg34 was impractical with its rate of fire or that most german stuff was overengineered without a thought for attrition.
