- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 2 days ago:
The article is a bit confusing, only the first paragraph is relevant I think. It seems like 22nd refers to last Tuesday and then the article jumps to events that happened a year ago. It might be the translation, I’m just using the built in Firefox one.
In any case, it is the link in the video.
- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 2 days ago:
I’m talking about having us go to the youtube video just to get the article link, while having no information on what’s being discussed or new developments in the post body.
A youtube link alone is essentially just click bait. This kind of comes off as a youtuber trying to bring up his views and not a lemming trying to start a discussion.

You can’t put the article link instead og the generic yahoo.jp? Are you trying to get views or something?

Administrative sanction on VISA for suspected violation of antitrust law The Public Commission applies the affirmative procedure
On the 22nd, the Japan Fair Trade Commission applied the administrative and affirmative procedures of Visa, an international credit card brand, as a suspected violation of the Antitrust Act (unfair trading method) regarding the terms of business with its partners, with regard to the terms and conditions of transactions with partners. According to the commission, it is the first administrative disposition on a credit card international brand, including the largest in the industry and the largest share (market share) in the country.
[Figure] In 2024, the Public Commission will inspect the VISA Japan corporation
In July 2024, the Public Commission conducted an on-site inspection of a Japanese subsidiary of a visa on suspicion of violating the Antitrust Act. We were also investigating overseas related sites such as U.S. headquarters.
The affirmation procedure is one of the administrative measures that aims to resolve the problem at an early stage by agreement between the Public Commission and the business operator. This month, the Visa submitted a voluntary improvement plan that “commits” the resolution of suspected illegality and reporting the status of its implementation under the supervision of a third party for five years, and the commission recognized it as effective in preventing recurrence.
In line with this, the Public Commission did not recognize the violation of the Antitrust Act of the visa, and postponed more enforceable administrative measures such as exclusion measures orders and surcharge payment orders. Yutaka Yamada

You might be able to fit in a satellite phone and then have your buddy give you info on your location, what plants to eat, etc. You would have access to vaste amounts of survival knowledge every night.
Drones wouldn’t be realistic as outlined above.

I actually enjoy the “movie in 5 minutes” videos. I dont mind the voice over as long as it’s one of the good tts.
That being said, I can understand how many dislike it. Proper filters are desperately needed, for that and youtube shorts. I can’t stand how cluttered the search is with those 30 second click bait clips that never actually answer what I’m looking for.
- Comment on Vote manipulation by rodneyck@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago:
Shit behavior but the constant anti ai bullshit is so annoying. He’s 100% right when he talks about the tag teaming and brigading. I don’t even think the meme is AI, I think he’s messing with you guys when bringing up the egg. If you check his history, it’s just reposts I think.
It’s a meme community, the “AI slop” crusaders really need to learn to relax.

- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 1 month ago:
You will need a lot more money, there is more to daily expenses than food and wifi. Also 1 acre is not enough for a sizeable group.
You absolutely can though. I know the preppers forum had one. You see it a lot more in Latin America these days, mostly retired expats and hippies (not trying to be derogatory). I find it’s kind of hard to ask people to put in all that effort though when they don’t get proper land rights. A commune doesnt offer a stable retirement other than trust me. I always imagine tension can run a lot higher than they should in these types of communities.

- Comment on It turns out you can train AI models without copyrighted material 1 month ago:
You can but the results are going to be essentially unusable compared to SOTA. You are still giving the big AI companies a massive monopoly just so the big copyright companies can make even more money.
Only one solution is good for us. In both cases, the ones that actually created the data get screwed though.

Reddit losing this lawsuit would be a loss to reddit and a loss to the AI companies, since they wont be able to build their monopoly over the fresh corpse of the open source options.
- Comment on TechCrunch: Reddit sues Anthropic for allegedly not paying for training data 1 month ago:
I have been pretty vocal about how strengthening copyright laws would only help website like reddit, record companies and publishing houses.
They sold “their” data for 60 million to google. None of us got a dime. This dream where artist and conrtibuters somehow get a part of the profits is pure pipe.
Reddit isn’t fighting for us, they are fighting over who gets to screw us.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 1 month ago:
Sorry I misunderstood. In that case, cheating definitely hurts more I would say. It’s more of a betrayal then a break up imo. Its a bit like the difference between having 10$ stolen and losing 10$, or the difference between scratching your car on a branch and having someone key it. Depending on the person’s social circle, it’s a lot more humiliating being cheated on.
There’s also stds or just the fact that your significant other might have slept with someone else a few hours ago and then climbs in bed and has relations with you right after. And we are talking about 20 years of marriage in this case, I can’t imagine how disrespectful it must feel.

Lol, I got what you meant, it’s literally the rest of the comment. It took me a few though, you kind of said it in a silly way. It also brings nothing to the conversation, hence why I’m mirroring your bad attitude.

I’m assuming his mom found out after the fact, nothing the OP said when I commentef pointed to the opposite.
Also, regardless if he told her or if she found out by herself, there is no question that the cheater is the asshole in this situation. Admitting to an affaire doesnt suddenly make it okay or take away the pain.

Why is your mom the one that moved out? Also, the affaire partner moved in?
He’s your best friend, so you three like hang out and watch movies together as a new family while your mom sulks in an appartment alone?
Not only does your dad suck but so do you. Maybe one day, you will get cheated on and understand the betrayal it feels like. Hopwfully, you wont have children to drive the knife in even deeper. Relationships are suppose to change with a parent who has an affaire, it’s abnormal not to be angry at what he did to your mother.
