In the US, yes.

Imo it is either a $83/year local paper or a free local newspaper. They can’t have it both ways if you ask me.

True, but you’ll never become an intermediate if you don’t grow your hair out. There are no shortcuts to a short cut.

TIL haircut matters when you want to get ahead in life

Personal experience is that 2-3 years ago you had to search for a small hidden line of text and now much more often it is not this kind of shit. Especially this year I feel it’s become more easy to reject cookies. Also the ‘accept our cookies or pay a way too expensive subscription to access our website’ type of pop-upe seem to have vanished. Not saying we’re there yet, and also not saying i know what it is like everywhere in the world.

Set your vpn to a eu country, more and more websites and apps have a button ‘allow necessary only’ or ‘reject all’. Not sure what the new law exactly asks of them but it feel it working already.

People don’t invite me for the fun

What groups persons would be considered honorific? Only people that work for the government (army, politicians etc)? Esteemed business men too? Nobel price winners? Esteemed scientists? It’s a slippery slope either way. I’d argue that it’s not up to the government to when it is allowed and when it is not, I’d argue every individual and every governmental body gets to decide for themselves.

I might get a lot of downvotes for this, but in a perfectly working democracy “she supported the transgender” can be a legitimate reason not to honor them with a flag at half pole. But usually in a perfectly working democracy the ruling parties dont need a scapegoat, nor would there be much reason to incite so much prejudice that supporting trans rights is a bad thing. But still, i’d argue if a majority doesn’t want trans people to have human rights, the leader of that majority would have a democratically legitimate reason for that bullshit. Not saying that is the right thing, but we can’t only persue democracy if we like the results - if we fifight for it, we should also accept the bad.

I consider these kinds of feature WIP, and more a partial fix than a total solution. I do think we’re slowly getting there though.

I use my PS5 alot, and spend money on the PlayStation store as well. Can’t afford to have 2 expensive machines for gaming. But honestly, no disk no buy. I am not going to buy a ps6 if it only ships with a digital store. We have been having that shit from apple long enough to know how shitty of a situation that is.

You’re right of course, but you can continue posting elsewhere. Unless your home instance bans you i guess.

Get rid of your fomo. If they put content beyond the end of the podcast it’s not getting heard and they are the ones losing out. Don’t be the slave of the system.

will make it harder to get banned down the line when they start using the account for something worse

You get banned per community, afaik you can’t be banned from the total Fediverse by anyone. I dont think an account with more engagement is less likely to get banned for posting bad stuff.

If my home feed runs out of new and interesting stuff i open all, think a lot of people do that. Have to say I’m not desperate enough to sort all by new or hot.

Funny it shows the cake in my app but doesn’t do it in yours

I’m conflicted about it. But either way, happy cake day

You mean the reposter doxed the OP on reddit.
