Tory governments regularly ignore expert advice, even when they have commissioned that advice. Look into immigration and drugs policy in the UK and you will find the government often does the opposite of what experts advise them to do. It’s one of the ways you know they have an agenda other than “doing the right thing” or even “doing what is best for the country”.
Linus has done a lot for him, that is probably the main thing.
Not sure, the other big companies have lots of individual issues and scandals but Twitter is way ahead, and it seems like there is something new every week. Musk must be winning so far.
Has anybody considered that Musk could be engaging in a Trading Places style billionaire competition, wherein the players try and trash their multi-billion dollar tech company faster than the others?
Rule 2 of the magazine is submissions have to be about US politics.
Fair enough, that’s too bad. At my work there is no such policy and there are a few men who wear tailored shorts in the summer but it’s not overly common here either I suppose.
But how do you sit in an office chair with your feet on the seat, like I do, in a dress?
No, I refuse to sit properly.
Why arent you allowed to wear shorts?
I suppose it should introduce you to things you aren’t already subscribed to but I’m not going to cry over instances blocking things that are widely considered undesirable on that instance. I’m happy enough blocking things I know I don’t like manually for now. For others: go to e.g. https://kbin.social/d/yiffit.net, open sidebar and click the block symbol - change the domain at the end to block others.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this. I’ll be back after work today to do a bit of exploring of these options and the others posted in this thread. Looking forward to spending half the weekend sorting out my notes now!
Recommendations for alternatives? I’ve been meaning to switch to something else for a long time for my personal notes. Taking a look at obsidian now but interested in shopping around. Self hosted, cross platform and tools for sharing/collaboration desired.
You have to hand your self-respect in when you register as an influencer.
The floor being on the bottom is an unofficial standard, at least.
Won’t happen, but I respect the sentiment. I think we would all be interested in exploring alternative governance.
Poor sound mixing is exactly why I watch most things with subs by default now. I got sick of constantly having to turn the volume up to hear dialogue and then quickly back down to avoid massive explosions etc.
Could mean nothing but it’s a bad look to be having talks under NDA. We’ll see how it turns out but I’m glad I never got invested in using Mastodon.
This is the one for me. I just checked and I’ve been using the premium version since May 2016 and it cost me £2.50. Only issue I’ve had in that time is the web player was failing to buffer episodes for streaming, but that has since resolved for me.
Yes, I’ve been using this for a while on my work computer with win11, neat little feature.
The last time I downloaded Linux mint to give it a try was the day before they announced the ISO from the official site had been injected with malicious code. Bad timing for my interest in using Linux, lol.
Is anybody out there buying vegan stuff thinking it’s meat? Read the label. You should be doing that anyway.
