War in Ukraine is still very much covered in the print/digital news. My two go-tos (the guardian and the bbc) both have dedicated section for the Russian Invasion.

I don’t watch television news, but I can imagine there is less coverage on that simply because there is not much suitable video content to be broadcast and what there is is usually several days, or even weeks old for operational reasons.

So if you had been trapped your while life in an open air prison camp. With limited food and water, electricity for just a few hours a day, and being bombed regularly, you would just sit back and accept that that was the way of the world?

Or would you fight back?

I don’t think any of us can say how we would react if we were Palestinian, but my gut feeling is, that having watched women and children killed in bombings for two decades, we would probably say all bets are off and do exactly what Hamas have done

Huawei and Honor can both survive purely on domestic sales before you even worry about ROW.

No idea why you think there are only three brands, or why you think the US is the only market that matters (it’s fairly obvious you are US based)

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was real. But I’ll just assume Putin anyway.

I’m sure there was a mushroom involved somehow. Perhaps tripped on a mushroom which caused him to fall, get his head caught in a noose and inadvertently pull the trigger on a shotgun that just happened to be sitting there. The resulting blast blew him out of a 4th story window.

Mushroom poisoning…

Spotify has one of the highest quality services

spotify is a great service for spotify

spotify is a great service for the consumer

spotify is a godawful exploitive pile of manure for artists

as far as i have seen (as a subscriber to c/piracy) there is no links to pirated content and they are very clear that that is not allowed

the vast majority of the discussion is on morals of piracy, anti piracy measures, etc etc

Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

Cycling might be.

Cycling the sport isn’t. The sheer volume of support cars, media cars, motorbikes at every race is utter insanity.

That’s before we get into the sponsorship from oil and chemical companies, and at least two sportwashing teams

TIL that you could game on a Mac

honestly, when reading comments like this i think maybe pre-emptive is a good idea.

Lemmyworld is forever going to be referred to as the instance full of pedos, transphobes and fascists that tried its hardest not to defederate an explicitly nazi instance while pulling this shit with a soft dirtbag left instance that spawned from the chapo podcast of all things.

Like, what a fucking reputation to give yourselves so early on.

and most of the comments are in that vein

many 14 year olds in the UK are two years away from finishing school.

Nothing wrong at all with them learning to turn up on time, get on with co-workers, budget their wages etc. Stand them in great stead for 2 years later when they are into the real world. 16 year old looking for work after leaving school stands a much better chance if they already have work experience

nothing wrong with having a job at 14. I was working at 9 years old.

Markets and fair stalls at 9-10, paper round from 9 years old, by 14 i was working in cafe’s. Absolutely nothing wrong with children in jobs if they are paid fairly, arent exploited etc.

but 100% they should not be serving alcohol.

Or even better, it forces a banana suit on you, so you can carry on playing but everyone knows who you are.

exactly this, they can control what is on it, give their journalists, shows, etc accounts and it being a self contained hub for everything bbc, while interacting with rest of the fediverse.

Im guessing they will also get more statistics and information from hosting it themselves as well. its a no brainer.

yup.

I’m on several linux channels, and im a mod on a fairly busy mental and physical health support site.

(the latter also has a web interface so 95% of the young un’s dont even realise they are on IRC)

Im on IRC daily

I’m so confused by this.

as in, desktop pc’s, laptops etc, NOT mobile

yeh, the actual utc time is much more straightforward than +2

Working for me now.

just needs “alexandrite” in the header changing to lemmy.world i think, and maybe the logo changing

rate limited and banned from server message for me as well.

exactly this.

The first rule of Fight Club…

There’s a few providers who have lasted the course, some as long as ten years, but they don’t have superiptv.xyz websites, they don’t have facebook groups, or twitter accounts. They rely on word of mouth and handle their business on telegram/discord etc
