Legislation is always years behind tech.

I did exactly this to get a Samsung tablet for a Christmas gift. Can’t trust Amazon for some products now.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva went on to veto several parts of the bill, but the conservative-dominated congress overrode his veto by a wide margin earlier in December.

Luckily I’m already out of the country but I don’t think will go well if that happens.

Every now and then I have to remind myself that America was founded by religious nutjobs and colonized by industrialists.

Aaaaand this is why I didn’t move my podcasts to Google Podcasts.

There’s many, many good reasons to live in the EU, fam.

That’s not misreading, that’s miswriting!

Interestingly, British Summer Time is used for 7 months of the year and GMT is used for 5 months. We just changed clocks this morning.

Thank you!

A dark elf (drow) actually, but I totally agree it’s the most ridiculous example of episode deletion.

Late, but 10/10 is my birthday - since I was born in Europe, raised in the US and now live in the UK, I’ve never had a problem writing my birthday correctly!

Because of nasty landlords happy to evict people or raise rents, Reddit and now Lemmy are full of people saying all landlords are awful morlocks feeding off the pain of everyone. Like everything else nowadays there’s no middle ground in the common arguments either way. Landlords evil, renters saints.

I have used Samsung since the first Galaxy S I think and didn’t understand the bloat everyone is talking about until I remembered I’ve used the Nova launcher for nearly all of them. You can also remove the Samsung apps if you want.

I get a lot of value out of Netflix, I watch tons of their shows every month.

I use Prime quite a bit also obviously for Amazon shopping and try to watch Prime Video a few times each month, and now they’ve expanded the music I’ll try that too.

I will be canceling Disney and just pirate what I want to see, which isn’t much, literally just one show.

E: I canceled Spotify ages ago and use their free version but for my favorite bands I downloaded their MP3 discographies. I buy their music on CD because it pays them better than streaming their songs thousands of times, plus I buy merch and go to the concerts so I’m OK with that.

E2: someone mentioned Patreon, I cancelled most of those as well because my gaming group broke up and all my patreons are for gaming 3D files. I have years worth of stuff to print and will never reach the end.

That’s the dumbest fucking thing to have a red flag about.

Oh, great find!

I’ve lived in the UK for nearly 20 years and see no benefit to having the beans anywhere near a full English plate.

You’re absolutely correct, but a bicycle tideuor bus trip or train journey is also a feeling of freedom, too. Reframing ‘freedom’ so people don’t feel they have to get a $70,000 crew cab pickup to drive to the bar or store is the thing.

Upvoted for saying the phrase “as cool as the other side of the pillow”. Heard that once when someone was talking about a sports commentator and haven’t forgotten it in probably 35 years at least.

Thanks, that is super helpful!
