Welp, you were right
The Dutch government has botched implementing these environmental reforms quite a bit in the past, which has caused right wing / anti enviromental parties to swoop in and claim the bigger environmental rules are the problem, instead of the way they were implemented.
There’s this one big ‘farmer’s party’ and a lot of farmers have bought into their lie of representing actual farmers, but the party was founded by lobbyists and their biggest donators are chemical companies who would benefit a ton from being allowed to pollute

OpenAI is a for profit company, owned by a non profit. External investors can invest in the for profit subsidiary, but it is still owned by the non profit. Investors are only allowed a capped amount of profit. (The capped amount is still bajillions afaik). But the for profit is legally bound to follow the non-profit’s mission.

For sure the commenter was just asking what space MacOS owns
I would argue macOS owns the creative space (Design, Art and Music)
If there is a specific modpack you want to play, try to look on pages of those packs, often there will be public servers that exist for them. I know GTNH has this at least.
I bought the base package in 2018 I think. Never bought any ships or any of that crap. Some friends have told me I’ve been scammed but I’ve got my money’s worth in playtime already so I’m just happy to coast along and see actual incredible game dev innovation

The Weekly c/conlangs Post #3
toki!
Welcome to the third weekly c/conlangs post!
First of all sorry for the delay between the last post and this one, I have been pretty busy last week so I kind of just… forgot. Sorry!
Also, if you have suggestions for a conlang and linguistic feature of the week, please send them to me! I only know so many, so I’m always happy to learn about more, so I can include them in these posts!
Conlang of the week
This week's conlang of the week is: toki pona! This language was made by linguist Sonja Lang, at first to see how having an extremely small vocabulary would influence the way speakers view things. But the language has quickly grown to have a large community, and even lots of speakers (for a conlang) due to it’s cute nature and ease of learning.
What do you think of toki pona? Do you speak it? Do you think it changes the way speakers will look at things? Tell us about your thoughts in the thread!

The Weekly c/conlangs Post #1
pe'el!
Welcome to the first weekly c/conlangs post!
Conlang of the week
This week's conlang of the week is: Klingon! The constructed language devised for the strict warrior aliens of the same name, Klingon was first heard spoken in 1979. Klingon is one of the first conlangs to be widely recognised in popular culture, with there even being groups of people learning and speaking the language.
What do you think of the language Klingon? Does it succeed at its goals? Do you speak some Klingon? Was it what first got you into the wonderful world of constructed languages? Tell us about your thoughts in the thread!
Linguistic feature of the week
Keeping in the theme of Klingon, which was designed to sound extremely alien to the audience, the linguistic feature of the week is any feature not existing in a natural, human language.
Klingon was meant to sound extremely alien. This was mostly achieved by picking features and sounds that were exotic to English speake
What conlangs are you learning (about)?
I'll start myself: I've been quite interested in Esperanto recently, and I am thinking of starting to actually learn the language. Esperanto is just really interesting to me, because of its history and size, compared to other conlangs. I don't believe it will become the universal world language, like once was dreamed. And I do think esperanto has quite a few shortcomings when it comes to being an international auxilliary language. The reason I want to learn it is more just for that history and culture.
Conlangs -- A community geared towards people who seek to discuss artificial languages or create and showcase their own.
We want to be a welcoming community, for people to share and dicuss each others conlangs, and to find and share resources for making them. Promoting positivity and encouraging each other to keep making conlangs! Come join us at [email protected]

Thinking of moving to tchncs for mastodon
I’m thinking of moving to tchncs on mastodon (moving from floss.social) because for me floss.social limits some big instances a bit too much, causing me to be unable to see a lot of replies and posts.
Is there a way for me to check which instances tchncs has “limited”?
Limited is different from blocked. You can still follow users from limited instances and open their posts. They just won’t appear in trending or in replies.
Thanks in advance and thanks for the great lemmy instance! :)
