Like, uh, inhabited continents.

Nah, just get personal PR managers for the involved people, let the company fail and make sure to move on before that.

The decision makes are exempt from consequences.

Code is a spectrum in c/[email protected]

Well, some languages are higher level than others. Pure microcode expanded binary is actually a rarity.

If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] marcos 26 points 1 day ago

Theoretically, the yacht follows the laws of the place it's registered. On practice, the country you and your friends live will be the one that cares about it... so, it's not any different from what you can do at home.

It's not mimicry.

Incompetent Euros can't stand up to the glory of MONGOLIAN CONQUEST in c/historymemes

Why do all those US universities have dealings with Israel? (self.outoftheloop)

submitted 8 months ago by marcos to c/outoftheloop

31 comments fedilink

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

What do I do with the !community@instance links? (self.nostupidquestions)

submitted 2 years ago by marcos to c/nostupidquestions

24 comments fedilink

The links like [email protected].

I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]).

Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

What is the recommended way to use those?
