lol, my now 8 year old used to ask how long befor X would die, pretty much daily. Then for a while, any famous band, or singer or actor; are they dead or alive?!
We just always answered about everyone dies, but when they are very old or very sick. Unfortunately, younger brother was due for open heart surgery at that time so it was hard to explain what was serious and what was risk and what was death.
I don’t think it’s inconsistent. My understanding is that the bad comments were in private messages and although they don’t disown then or apologise for their views, they are not making transphobic comments in threads.
In the feddit case, transphobia discourse was active and unmoderated. I have no doubt that if that was the case for .ml, then blahaj would defederate.
There is no point in federation of you defederate from every instance with bad users. Ban the user, not the instance. In the case of an instance not moderating hateful content, ban the instance.
Go on, go on, go on.
Unless you’re Irish. Then your English stays the same and your Irish fluency decreases.
I think seeing posts that are relevant but don’t interest you as a user are less of a problem than a lack of content at the moment. However, best to start as we would mean to continue.
I’d be more inclined to leave it to users to up and down vote as appropriate and mark as cross posts. Some people who browse all may be unaware of some local communities. Cross posting to relevant communities allows discovery. I would think that not all political posts should be cross posted but major ones could be.
Still it’s good to get it on record. Either the court is compromised, or gives good rationale, or ice is in breach. At this point it’s stilll a question.
I think it applies to eu citizens worldwide for online purposes. You only need to do business in eu with eu clients (seperate terms) for it to apply.
Yes, but that’s the point. Having a general set of the population spread across the country wins nothing. Having a local issue or locally popular one issue candidate can get elected, but they will be ineffective. It allows Labor to have a majority with only a small amount extra votes than the libs.
Sure it’s all down to the preference flows in each seat but perhaps we shouldn’t be doing winner takes all seats. I know in Germany they apportion seats based on percent vote, similar to how we do the senate. In Ireland they group districts and the top 3 candidates in a larger district get elected, after all preference flows. So you might get a lib, a lab and a grn rather than 2 libs and a lab, as it is with our divisions.
No system is perfect but we seem to be concentrating power in the hands of the two larger parties with the intention of stability without any evidence it is actually more stable.
I thought a bunch left the diplomatic core over the last number of years?
And don’t understand the difference between needing subtitles as hard of hearing or have the volume down, versus this part is in a foreign language.
Yes, I’ve started to get a few. It’s a nice gesture.
lol, he likely hasn’t done that either. Those ships will be shipping those goods elsewhere. However, global supply chains, as much as they save money are less environmentally friendly. So, hopefully, if trade becomes less USA centric, there is an increase in lateral trade within Asia and closer partners. Given the USA is one of the least environmentally friendly countries, I would expect any increase in production there to be worse than chinas emissions.
Yes, I was thinking the same, but a part of me thinks we shouldn’t be giving these people the attention. It’s a self perpetuating illness. Others, even less deranged, may be tempted to copy if it gains popularity.
Somewhat, but it’s on,y to get one or two votes, despite there being a third of the electorate favouring an option that is not big 2. There is some myth about lack of stability if the minor parties have more power. I wouldn’t exactly call the changing of pm by both major parties stable. Coalitions keep power in check and don’t allow them to take voters for granted.
And hopefully minority authors make more sales because of it, get more publicity because of it and the bigots pay the bill.
Sometimes the reason there is no use for it is because the data was unavailable. With larger data throughput, more and better services may become available.
Even when you consider common stuff like gaming, it often takes a while to fully download or update games.
I think KDE plasma calls it the meta button. Now that’s ruined too!
Politicians can do it. Companies can’t. It’s ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don’t pass the smell test.
It seems like a knock off brand though. He’s notoriously cheap.
James mcavoy is a good call. I’d add Gary Oldman, Cate Blanchett, Judy dench, Adam Scott, Nathan Lane, Tim Roth, Saoirse Ronan, Brendan Gleason, Sharon Horgan. Used to be Robert DeNiro, ed Norton, Tina Fey. Hopeful up and comers. Sydney Sweeney, Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp, Christin milioti
