That’s why the French protest all the time. They fight for their rights.

A lot of people were given false hope that Brexit would magically solve all their problems. People now regret it.

One should read the history of Haiti. They were the first slaves to revolt and become free, so France wanted them to pay for “lost business”. So they had to pay off a huge debt. And the U.S. didn’t want Haiti to succeed because it would have encouraged slaves in the U.S. to revolt. So Haiti got roadblock after roadblock.

It’s all about the social capital. The social capital (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_capital?wprov=sfti1) of someone born in jail is going to be less than someone born outside of jail.

Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.

Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That’s not the case with Funimation.

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but the new design makes it look more like a social media site than a forum.

Buying a digital copy of something you cannot download is an oxymoron. It only makes sense if you subscribe to a service.

It’s looks nice. I think you will enjoy KDE, we don’t have to worry about extensions compatibility when upgrading to a new version of Gnome.

Run them in Bottle, then disable internet access for the games.

Indeed Lemmyverse.net is the way.

Lemmy instances are run by VOLUNTEERS! Lemmy.world is not a COMPANY. A company can have an army of lawyers. An instance run by VOLUNTEERS cannot.

One of the key reasons for Israel’s reluctance to help Ukraine win the war militarily is simple: It still works closely with Russia.

Russia is important for Israel’s military operations in neighboring Syria, where Israel has been carrying out airstrikes against Iran-backed militias, mainly those of Hezbollah.

Last week, the Russian foreign ministry said it had summoned the Armenian ambassador for a “difficult” conversation over what it described as a string of unfriendly steps, citing a decision by Yerevan to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine for the first time, with Pashinyan’s wife, Anna Hakobyan, making an official visit to Kyiv. Armenia has also withdrawn its representative to the Moscow-led CSTO military alliance of which it is a member, having previously accused the bloc of failing to act on its requests for support after Azerbaijan launched an offensive across the border last September.

With Russia allied with North Korea, you know they’re desperate now and can’t defend their backyard.

That’s a really good question to ask Reddit’s CEO as he is the one who said that.

Dromio05 showed me several posts he deemed questionable since Reddit took away his own mod badge. For example, this post shares a link to an article about “rebel canners,” which Dromio05 argues “gives a public platform to people who openly encourage methods and recipes that are known to be unsafe, like canning milk and open kettle canning.” The post is labeled unsafe, but Dromio05 would have removed the link to the article.

Another cited example is this recipe for canned sauce. It includes already-canned tomatoes, which experts like the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) recommend against, as there’s no safe tested process for this. The recipe also includes nuts, though the USDA doesn’t have any recommendations for canning nuts, and NCHFP and other experts advise against canning any nuts besides green peanuts.

No comment. Moderators are the key to Reddit’s success, and they have been treated like shit and will continue to be treated like shit.

Basically for them, women should only stay at home and their job is only to procreate, sigh

Good. When I was young, an energy drink almost gave me a heart attack because my heart was beating too fast. In my opinion, these drinks are dangerous.
