Reddit isn’t selling access to the public comments; it’s selling database access to all comments, previous edits, deleted ones, currently public ones etc.

Old Fashioned, Whisky Sour, Gin and Tonic.

Or beer. Then usually wheat beer if they have it.

But I so rarely drink that’s literally once a year maybe; my dad is an alcoholic so it’s difficult to look at alcohol as something harmless.

I hope you’re right. I want you to be right. And I agree at this point the Democratic Party ought to try - damn, they’re losing anyway so they might as well try.

My worry is that an alternative candidate that is worth their salt AND want to run against Trump can’t be found. I hope I’m wrong.

The problem is that the act of swapping candidates will seem to be so entirely clueless that whoever steps up to the plate is bound to lose.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No one will spoil their chances for 2028 by being a late entry now. The democratic party is hunkering down for 4 more years of Trump is suspect.

How can I turn this into the class struggle?

Maybe on account of the communities I subscribe to, but I’ve personally not come across right wing extremism on Lemmy. The tankies, though … so prevalent. Anyways, by server blocking hexbear it’s reduced by 90%.

The Korean War was led by the UN. NATO wasn’t involved.

… “and don’t worry about your family back home in North Korea who will be compressed into tinned meal”.

The defection rate will be low I suspect. It’s an automatic TFK (total family kill) to defect and I doubt they’ll send anyone who don’t have family at home in Glorious Motherland!

Server blocking hexbear is the only way to stay sane on Lemmy.

Completely. Give me a light Geländewagen (and I’m talking about the utility version that armies buy, not the blinged up Chelsea tractor version), with triple differential lock and it’ll out-drive these monster trucks any day, on any terrain, pulling the same weight.

This is the way. Don’t let Word confuse you into believing it’s a DTP program.

Lol. What a load of hogwash.

100% agreed. I’m not condoning Uber. I’m saying taxi companies should be better at copying the convenience of Uber.

In every single way Ubers are more convenient than a taxi. It’s amazing to me that taxi companies can’t see all the little improvements that going by Uber brings.

“Sophisticated scripts to scour pirate sites”.

I think we’ve just found a new tagline for radarr and sonarr.

Yes completely agree. The cool thing about opencollective is the transparency - that should mean the core devs should be happy to pay themselves some money for their time. This is how projects sustain themselves IMHO.

That’s a heretic opinion here on Lemmy.

Through my job I’ve knows two billionaires; one inherited it all through a business his father built, the other acquired it all through a business he built.

Neither seemed any happier than you or me; they travelled in more luxury, for sure, and their clothes cost a bit more; they of course also had multiple houses, which they couldn’t really use at the same time and one of them had an enormous yacht and private jets (plural). It all looked very fancy but I don’t know that their happiness increased commensurately.

I think once you have a roof over your head, food on the table and don’t have to worry about what the next year or two looks like, you’re 97% there. The last 3% is influenced by money, but not determined by it.

Personally I only use torrents to download all the linux distributions. I didn’t realise one can install sonarr, radarr and all the other *arrs to rapidly, easily download shows and films and make them available to a media server. Also I didn’t realise people can install lunarsea on their phones and remote control the whole thing so they literally just have to type a title and seconds later it appears in their media server. Personally I just use it to check out the many Linux distributions on the internet.

After 20 years with my wife, I still have weekly “you haven’t seen X?!?!?!” moments with her. The amount of films she hasn’t seen is staggering.

(conversely, the amount of time I’ve wasted watching films is kinda scary)
