I got engaged and travelled across the Atlantic to be with someone I met on irc

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.

Outside of handhelds, I don’t really see the use-case of consoles anymore, to be honest.

Dragon Age*

Ok, but it was planned as one. I’m very wary of this project, to be honest. Seems like they developed one thing, changed it, then went back to the original vision - not a good sign for a cohesive, stable project.

Taxes

E3 really was a massive moment. Shame we won’t really have stuff like this again. I miss the yearly cringe.

I don’t know, I think the Tories veering further and further right is partially what led them to the mess they’re in now. I’m hoping that 5 years in opposition, we’ll see more moderate Tories come back to the forefront, or, even better, Lib Dems take the mantle as the main opposition party.

But who knows, you may be right. I dread to think we’re about to jump off the deep end and end up like US politics.

Tories becoming a third party will be hilarious

My most upvoted post of all time is about this very issue https://sh.itjust.works/post/2882678

I migrated away from lemmy.world as a result

Fair enough. Respect the lack of corporate speak

Foss fanatics being completely out of touch with how normal people interact with the internet will never not be funny to me.

99.9% of people do not give a shit. They want a good experience. That’s it.

I do what I can to block trackers on my end but if your app can’t give me the experience I want then I’m not using it.

The Uyghur issue is on the other side of the world and entirely internal to China.

WW2 was an active threat to the entirety of Europe, there wasn’t an option to ignore it. It was never a moral issue (to begin with) - plenty of Nazi supporters in Western nations. People don’t go to war over moral issues. It was because Nazi Germany was actively threatening the Western order. China’s oppression is domestic, and therefore easy to ignore.

Because it isn’t free, from the perspective of your Lemmy instance you’ll be spam requesting until you find content. Doing it this way ensures you’re less likely to hammer an instance.

You’re going to need to give more information than this zero context screenshot. Is this a virus scanner? If so, which? Why are you scanning? What caused this series of events? What’s the full content of this popup?

Absolute worse case scenario: whatever you’re doing will not irreparably damage your PC. If you break windows or whatever you can just wipe your pc and reinstall windows via a usb stick. However, it’s not clear what’s going on here.

Pretty much zero chance Russia is evicting the Ukrainian government at this point.

Hosting a Minecraft server is an immensely easier task than implementing a livestream service, lol

How does the process of requesting a street charger work, wouldn’t that require council approval or some such?

Because it doesn’t have millions of users in the EU and near a billion in revenue

People who use WhatsApp but have friends who want to use signal and vice versa.

Your average person really does not care about this stuff,they just want something easy and familiar. This is good for people who care enough to use signal but still want to actually chat to people.
