Beat me to it, champ.

It does matter. I signed up to lemm.ee originally. The 4th biggest instance It is no more and my account and a few communities went with it. That risk still exists on mastodon.

What bit did I say that was factually inaccurate? Did you look at any of what I wrote. Looks like you need to read some news. I’m suggesting more BBC, Guardian, Independent than Daily Mail rage bait though.

The pornid thing is stupid. VPN use us widespread now. Our gov often gets lobbied by US big tech companies working on behalf of US gov unfortunately.

IDing every user on every computer? What? Source?

Social scores? Source?

I’m oblivious as to what you watched on Telegram that twisted certain things into extremes.

The courts thing is idiocy from Lammy. Not guaranteed. Starmer is toast and doesn’t have widespread support in his own gov. House of Lords can block anything not in a manifesto. Some shit has gone sideways, accepted, but your outlook is a little extreme. These battles are happening all over the world. There is mass techbro fascism at war with every country right now. Singling out UK is missing the overall picture.

Plus our jury is quite separated from politicians. UK gov lost to Kneecap. UK gov having trouble with the Palestinian Action decision in courts. Rwanda deportation got blocked by courts also. Please do some research to understand how our courts actually function before you dismiss quite a reasonable system that does have independence from politicians.

We have problems, but rn our jury system isn’t one of them. It’s the fuckheads in Westminster.

American forum?

It was made by French communists and most instances exist outside America. For the record, I regularly complain about my country. It’s just my regularity is no where near as regular as the daily wtf that is America.

I’m in the UK. WTF are you on about?

Yeah. It looks quite specific.

I have GOS on Pixel 6a. Good, but battery now starting to show it’s age. But this was at 3 years, rather than the 1.5 years I’m used to.

Definitely would recommend.

Nice. Back down to 2.17% next month.

Steams survey doesn’t seem to be very consistent.

Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?

I want it to be true.

Aren’t they all about freeze peach even if it offends?!

That would be very weird in the UK. By teenage years, often they’d want/need their own room where feasible (from Siblings). Probably get bullied for it if folk found out.

Unfortunately…

But the lack of manpower constraints has increased scale massively. Before swarms required risk of life. Now it requires dudes on remote controls sitting “safely”.

Wasn’t Ukraine blocking drones with nets?

Warfare is evolving. If you have anti-defense for 20, they’ll send 30. If 30, they’ll send 40. Sometimes you need something as a “safety net” just in case. It is better to have it than not. Russia militarily is a joke in many ways. Disliking them doesn’t mean everything they do is stupid.

Most of the threats now need to be adapted for by even leading military powers. What defends now won’t in 2 years. Adaptability is the main advantage now.

I mean, if it works, it works. Hopefully Ukraine keep finding problems for them.

Shame he didn’t spend time reading up on SOLID principles, clean code, refactoring and TDD. Sounds like Jr parading as a senior. Product nerd != good developer.

Most seniors got burned so much, they refuse to build complex unsupportable stuff. KISS is king with top devs.

The fact this dude has the most experience says everything about your orgs hiring processes. Cheaping out on senior salaries.

I don’t know. Lemmy world is right up there. I try to ignore the instance and treat people in good faith. It’s a shame others don’t.

Originally, I started on this instance after .world was unusable and down most days. I assumed if anyone could maintain an instance, it’s the devs who created it. Ml has been pretty reliable. My other account on lemm.ee died. The one on shit.just.works don’t work with jerboa if you want infinite scroll to work…

You could check my account and see I moderate 2 big communities. Usually trolls don’t do that. Mods invest energy to build stuff, trolls suck energy out of stuff with low energy contributions.

Largest supporter? I would have thought that was Saudi. Most of the groups US were fighting or dealing with originated from strict Sunni groups. Iran was working against many of those groups.

Or to compromise with the native Americans. Treatment to them was much more uncompromising and previous treaties were tore up.
