Well, go on, don’t tease us, what are you after?

aw that’s a shame, I was hoping this would actually be a decent romp.

Whelp, guess I’m joining the Boycott US movement

Edit:

Swapped Google for Ecosia

Brave for Librefox (also swapped Firefox Nightly for Iceraven on mobile)

Swapped Uber for Bolt/Uber Eats for Just Eats

I think maybe they’re testing things on a regional basis and it just hasn’t hit me yet. I dunno, either way I’m happy for now lol

XManager stills works fine for me, to be honest.

Lemmy users try not to be insufferable when Windows is mentioned (Challenge) (Impossible)

On the surface I’m against this but I guess it depends on what we get out of it. Ultimately, leaving the EU puts us in an awkward spot. We have to pick and choose our battles.

In a general election, you vote for your local representative to represent you in parliament.

Ridings are what Canada call their electoral districts. An area in which a member of parliament stands for election.

Nepean is a location in Ottawa. Mark is running for election there.

Plex has been on a downward spiral for awhile now. This will really kill the service for a lot of people, wonder if Plex sharing will be a thing of the past and people switch to jellyfin sharing

It’s worse here too because you can actually filter out the memes from r/piracy, Lemmy has no such feature since it still lacks a flair/tag system

Somewhat hyperbolic but I definitely agree that if NATO wasn’t in the way he’d happily reclaim USSR territory.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen because oh boy, the consequences would be significant.

I grew up working class with parents on welfare living in government housing. I did, in-fact, actually have to leave my couch in order to improve my living conditions and am acutely aware of the consequences of rising rent, rising energy costs, stagnant wages, and high food prices.

Most of us don’t get the choice to be full time internet activists unfortunately.

A blockade doesn’t work if you can’t defend it. They can do whatever they want but actions have consequences.

nobody in America cares about the non-Palestinian Middle East enough for “some” to rally behind him just because he bombed some Yemenis

Your average American does care about the economy and price of common items, oil, etc, and Houthis bombing the most important trade route in the world directly effects that.

By the time of the Famine, Scottish plantations had been in Ireland for almost 300 years. I’m not sure cherry picking one incident in the long lineage of exploitation over Ireland excuses anyone to be honest. Even after the famine, stuff like Black & Tans having notorious Scottish units and even in the modern day you can point to remaining tensions between ulster-scot protestants and Irish catholics.

From whom were they fleeing? Yes, it is wrong to excuse Scotland from playing an active role in colonising Ireland. That should be obvious

Commoners everywhere are victims of the elite. That’s not unique to England nor does it excuse Scotland.
