Definitely, it’s them playing stupid so centrist liberals will mock them because they can’t help themselves and they use that to say to the genpop “look, I’m just like you and these sneering elites are laughing at me, and by extension you”

I think the attraction is more that the current system isn’t working for a lot of people and hasn’t been for a long time.

Exactly. They play the outsider who has the balls but not embroiled in the quagmire, to come and “drain the swamp”

The perverse hilarity of trump saying this is that he is the 1%, he is the trust fund kid that had everything handed to him on a platter. He literally is the swamp (a corrupt child rapist)

Farage in the UK went to one of the top schools (Dulwich college) where he was disciplined for singing Hitler youth songs. He got a job in the city through his dad as a commodities broker before going into (disrupting) politics and people seem to believe his shit when he acts like he’s one of the common folk!

People need their heads banging together falling for that shit!

Not quite.

Farage keeps running around saying “Pick me! Pick me!” and the press keep asking “Is farage a viable candidate?” while not offering the same credence to anyone else.

The British public are “We’re fucking sick of this bollocks from the establishment” and a lot of them are falling for the privately educated ex city trader Farages nonsense that he’s a “man of the people” because all the centrist parties are saying “aren’t immigrants awful?” in an attempt to distract from their own incompetence and quite frankly, the left is 10 years behind in offering a coherent alternative to all the bullshit.

In the UK, if I opened a page that had CSAM on it but closed it as soon as I realised without opening the images, the fact that my browser has cached that page (with thumbnails) means I’m in possession & could be prosecuted.

we’re gonna end up with /r/sinkpissers. Lol

In all seriousness, you really don’t want a mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy instances. It’s better that it’s slowly so growth is managed but even more important, user quality is maintained!

When the Digg exodus happened, Reddit literally overnight went from a considered discussion board to full of ascii art, 1 line shit witty or pun comments, lyric threads and the signal to noise ratio went to shit.

On top of that there were constant stability issues that were compounded by all the thickos constantly hammering F5.

It’s typical of the neolib Labour party.

They’ve recently reintroduced legislation for digital IDs, just as they did the previous time they were in govt (prior to 2010).

We also have police stepping up unregulated use of facial reignition camera on the streets

They are obsessed with authoritarianism.

Any artist I hear online that I like their music, if they dont have a BC page, I suggest they sort one out. What I like about them is that I can stream peoples music via the app but also download it so I actually ‘own’ the music. I also like buying physical releases from artists through there.

I’ve not sold music through there so I’m not au fait with their terms but I know its not as terrible as all the streaming sites.

Moving from YouTube Music to Spotify?

Spotify has been fucking over artists for years

Typical foodie blog with having to read about her life story before getting to the actual recipe!

$3500 per episode sounds like she was going a bit overboard & could easily refactor her costs without sacrificing quality

Western authorities have been harvesting data for a few decades from social media so any complaint that singles out Chinese apps doing the same is obviously rooted in sinophobia.

The fact you think my joking about racists doing that is pathetic shows which side of that assertion you fall.

That sinophobia isn’t going to stoke itself!

ByteDance is a privately-held global company, roughly 60 percent owned by global institutional investors (such as Blackrock, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group), 20 percent owned by the company’s founders, and 20 percent owned by its employees—including over 7,000 U.S.-based employees.

Sauce

he was a piece of shit who at the very least abused his role and power over women.

And bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Libya to distract people from the fact he couldnt keep it in his pants

That chocolate ain’t gonna pay for itself!

I’ve asked those people “why do you lock the toilet door?”

Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!

If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.

You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!

The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!

(Doesn’t sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)

If the prick wants people on-call 24 hours a day then he needs to pony up the wages to match with accompanying extended holiday for downtime.

One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.

But to those who organise those systems, they’re not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.

It is functioning as designed.
