This looks good, I just found an old (3 year old post - I didn’t even know Lemmy was around back then!) and commented on it. There were also funnily two other recent comments (one from 2 months ago and another 3 months old).

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

Socialis

They timed it right so that they fucked up both ways, in the browser and in the low end web-connected phone market. They are clowns.

We called them streaming services. Calling them stream-ers sounds like the media is trying to make them sound cuddly and non hostile.

These were weeks where decades happened.

Yeah I noticed that.

I just checked, there are 40 downvotes (78 upvotes). That’s wierd - I checked other posts and they don’t seem to have anything like that - I saw none in the double digits.

I might just have to keep a separate account for posting politics which is sad but necessary so that my posts/comments are ranked according to utility and not just downvoted by angry nerds. I’ll probably make a post about this somewhere too.

Because your comment was related to what I had to say, and I also agreed with you. I did see a comment that echoed my criticism of the BBC lower down, but I hadn’t seen it before I posted my comment.

I think some idiots/bots from another instance to do with a political topic did it lol. They’ve done it to a few comments. We haven’t left reddit apparently.

Do you think lemmy admins could see the downvoters and check if they’re using bots?

I’m glad there’s nuance to the discussion, I was worried by the 95+% glazing going on.

I ignore all the politics from the BBC, though general news and entertainment, documentaries are all broadly fine. But they’re *politically *compromised by state-funding and imo are blatantly corrupt.

And UK.

In his own words lol:

To re-iterate PDF is a really, really bad format to use as input. If you absolutely must use PDF, then be prepared for an output ranging anywhere from decent to unusable, depending on the input PDF.

Others are recommending Calibre which I’ll try, even though I share your pessimism. Have you ever tried it?

Good post. Butlerian Jihad when?

The same people fund both the government (through elections) and the news media. I guarantee you Murdoch is friends with many of his fellow billionaires.

If there’s to be regulation on this, it has to be universal and has to apply to all states including the US, and all social media platforms equally.

Otherwise leave it to people to decide what they want to watch. Louis Rossman’s view on the matter (guy on YT who complains about Apple and other bad behaviour by big companies) changed recently. Video: I was WRONG about banning tiktok - here’s why I changed my mind

Isn’t Brave doing this because they have their own way that they sell ads for coins?

I don’t entirely approve, I think. But if it helps fight Google’s domination of the market, fine.

Oftentimes they’re connected to party members mate. Trump literally spoke to a bunch of their broadcasters daily.
