What might be happening is that an equivalent number of people using bike lanes and cars results in a much smaller impact and apparent usage on bike lanes.

Or they just charge you for the DLC each time you enter the DLC areas without asking.

Most people on here don’t mind being exposed to different viewpoints. If you ask me, even some - or even most, IDK - tankies are fine to talk to, even argue with, as they are usually civil.

The problem is that there are a lot of users on the *.ml instances who are not interested in debate, they just keep repeating the same 2-3 slogans over and over again in smug superiority as a reply to everything, and mods ban people randomly the same way.

When you meet some users who reply “you are misled by Western media” to anything you say as a final and incontrovertible argument, that’s not a good faith debate I’m willing to participate in.

The problem is not the differing opinions, but the differing norms for polite conversation and good faith arguments.

Twitter was bluesky before musk bought it, federation ensures that can’t easily happen to mastodon.

That’s it.

Like old times, our young men and their young men decimate each other, then they go murder and rape whoever they can on the other side. Make wars great again!

Hungary should have the mangalica, it’s a furry pig, and it fits sooo well.

Or maybe, just maybe, fine companies that commit criminal acts.

There really is a fine line between turning into an authoritarian regime and doing basic police work, right?

Twitter is not the sole, or even the biggest social media company in Europe. It’s not even in the top 3.

The advertisement sector will be fine.

There’s like 5 governments doing full dragnet surveillance in the world, wonder if one can send an interesting enough dickpic to warrant a UNSC joint session

Is the Michael Bay Skibidi Toilet adaptation still coming though?

That is I guess Windows:

• Installed by the manufacturer
• “Maintained” by M$

Just joking tho, I run Fedora, even lazy people have standards.

Help me choose a distro!

My coffee preparation method is:

I drink this one kind of instant coffee that does not even need me to heat the water, I can just mix it in cold water and be good with it. It’s still coffee and I don’t have to make the slightest effort.

In my part of the world, the receipt proves that the sale was entered into the tax record, so the seller is not cheating on taxes by understating revenue.

So that means that since bacteria and the like outnumber us by orders of magnitude, statistically speaking, multicellular life would be wiped out completely.

Thanks!

Can you elaborate on these topics for someone not in the know?

Not in the US, not yet.

In a Russian style society, money means jack shit against actual power.

Imagine Murdoch arguing with Trump, trying to bankroll another party to rein him in, with it ending in him selling all his news outlets and retiring.

The point is that money doesn’t get you political power in this system.

Look at Russia’s oligarchs. Hell, look at Hungary.

There was this one wealthy guy bankrolling Orbán’s campaigns, one of the wealthiest people in Hungary. He got into an argument with Orbán publicly. Today he’s neither wealthy, nor living in Hungary.

The people will not turn on rich people. I’m saying rich people are used to be controlling politics, but in a Russian style system, rich people are controlled BY politics, not the other way around.
