31·4 days agoSame, BB would have been late Win98/early XP days for me lol
I miss that purple monkey :(
Clippy was useful
Um, what universe did you slide in from where this is true?
Damn if only I was 13 minutes faster LMAO
This is just following the capitalist model: steal stuff without any credit/payment to the originators, feel smug for “your innovative ideas.”
All my cross-posts that have been identified as OC are credited back to the user in a way that does not link back to the .ml comm
Honesty is an option. Go in with good faith, not like you have the truth. For example, “this publication says…how can I believe the publication’s refute? I don’t know what to believe because propaganda everywhere. How can I know this isn’t propaganda? Additional information please,” or something. Then take the time you spend in self-congratulatory mockery to follow up. I mean I honestly dk, I’ve said some really uninformed stuff over there and am somehow not banned.
Sometimes we just can’t always know what to believe and that’s okay. I usually just wait for more information, and sometimes that takes a really long time, or never comes.
.ml does not return that good faith, I don’t consider banning and censoring the opposing view to be welcoming good faith arguments:

Lol, it’s an acronym for original-original poster, but now that I think about it that’s more when referencing an OP in a discussion, so I probably should have put just plain OP instead
I got you fam, highest quality I could find
Ohhh lol, yea, it could be coming from the intro side though since it’s unlikely one would have a perfect balance between them
Ambivert is a hybrid between the 2, I’m perfectly fine being at say a party all night doing small talk and what not without needing to worry about a social battery, but I can also be completely comfortable being at home alone for days/weeks/months at a time without going going crazy like extroverts can get
You would have no problem whatsoever if you had no company and just hosted in europe.
As an individual it would be so much worse, what are you talking about? They’re not going to go “Oh you’re an individual hosting in the EU, guess there’s nothing we can do”
Companies under the cloud act only have the ability to disagree if the country in question has an agreement with the us which currently only great britain has.
That’s only applicable for the other way, e.g. Britain (as an example) requesting data from a US provider. There are 2 parts to the act, part 1 is for the SCA to be amended so that the US can compel US companies to turn over data stored overseas and part 2 authorizes the entering of these agreements with foreign governments so when those governments wants data from a US company for their citizens they can fast track it.
The mechanism is always available if it’s the US wanting the data from a US company with overseas servers
It’s all right there in my link
Actually, having an LLC appears to increase my ability to defend against it
the Act provides a mechanism for a communications provider to challenge the order if disclosing the data would risk violating foreign law. Under the CLOUD Act, the legal protection of an individual’s rights depends on the objection by a provider. There is no direct mechanism for individuals to challenge an order under the CLOUD Act. A court will consider a provider’s challenge of an order for disclosure of data data and review the request under a multi-factor “comity” analysis to assess foreign and other interests at stake. However, U.S. court can require production of that data despite the objection, even where the laws of another nation would be violated.

By running it under an LLC I actually have a lawful mechanism to pull, not fool proof or airtight obviously, but it’s something I wouldn’t have without the LLC
I think you might have been running those LLCs under false information, maybe someone told you that years ago or something.
The IRS can’t “revoke” an LLC because an LLC is a state thing, only the state of incorporation can do that. The IRS really doesn’t care if you intend to make a profit or intend to run a business, only that if you do, you pay taxes on it. An LLC isn’t even required to file a return if they don’t make a profit.
And in most cases, Single-member LLCs (which is what I’d be opening) are dealt with on personal taxes.
Now, there may be a state that has some weird rules on LLCs where they do need to have an intent to turn a profit out there (and maybe you opened an LLC in your home state that does have these weird rules), but not with any of the “common” states (e.g. Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware)
Though, I’d be happy to take a look at a link/source you have of something that is directly related to what I’m doing, but I’ve already done a fair amount of research into this and this is the first I’m hearing of requiring an intention of profit
But that doesn’t say anything about LLCs needing to be run with intent for profit, it’s just a list of factors the IRS put out to help people determine if what they’re doing is considered an actual business or just a hobby. And not a single one said “opening an LLC”.
Lots of people open LLCs for lots of reasons other than a business to make profit, because it’s a cheap and easy way to get some liability protections
Actually, neither is true, an LLC can in fact be run as a non-profit, what you’re thinking of is going public. Then yea, you gotta start making line go up (or promise line will go up really soon) because once you go public then you have shareholders and a board to answer to
A plain private LLC though you can do what ever you want to with it (within legal reason ofc)
It’s even theoretically possible to get 501©3 status on an LLC (though it’s rather tedious and not guaranteed, so its almost always is spun off to another entity for that)
It actually shouldn’t be all that problematic, money I put into its business account, from say my paycheck, is not seen as revenue. As long as the maths maths (e.g. I put 1000$ into it for the year from my paycheck, spent 800$ in infrastructure and still have 200$ in the account = all good (hopefully))
That’s more complicated and more costly, I’m still researching it, but so far from my current understanding when the time comes I should be able to either convert or “transfer” the LLC to a non-profit corporation later
I could still run it on servers outside of the US, and I might if I can find something that beats my current provider
Mostly for an additional degree or 2 of separation from me and maybe some liability protections. The US treats business better than humans after all lol any tax benefits would be a plus if it happens though
Lol I wish
61·12 days agoI wish I could get drunk on the job and waste millions of dollars of taxpayer money without even so much as a write up :(
So. Instead of just, idk, feeding ChatGPT all known details of the SO and maybe a dump of their messages or whatever and actually have a chance of it giving you a proper answer…they… just gave it a pic of a drunk coffee cup‽ Wtf is wrong with people
