I pay nearly 49% income tax in The Netherlands. Is it too much, or just the cost of living in one of the happiest places on earth?

Happy for you!!

Bluesky is a blessing and we must cherish it

If I understand correctly, the claim that "training images" were used without permission was passed. But it is not yet clear how AI-generated images infringe on copyright.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, folks.

This sums up politics so perfectly.

Either way I get way too invested and end up mourning for a couple days😔

Great achievement. Congrats!

Finally switched from X to Bluesky. I have never felt so liberated. It's good to be free from the shambles.
