  • I get the sentiment, but the term "colonial" is a bit condescending after 300+ years. It's like calling Turks or Magyars "nomads".

  • Facebook has spent something like 70 billion dollars on the "metaverse" with nothing to show for it, so it's very possible.

  • Really, can you point out which section that's in? All I find is "creating fake accounts or content, including fake reviews", which doesn't apply here if the person does use the service.

  • ou’re not allowed to review your own companies software

    Says who? They can still be a user of it.

  • Yeah, I`m all for roasting Plex but nothing about that review is inappropriate or prima facie untruthful.

  • Well done, Carney. Starmer deserves to be called out for slobbering Trump's little orange mushroom so relentlessly. It's an embarrassment.

  • What's this from again? The Mummy? Love this scene.

  • without using it in the way recently popularized by US fascists.

    It was a campaign slogan for the Canadian Conservative Party too, as well as used heavily by Conservatives in my province during the last election. "Common sense" has always been a fig leaf for somebody wanting to believe they hold a majority view when that is not supported by polls.

  • I'd add to that list anybody who uses the term "common sense".

  • the followers [of fascism] must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

  • You may also like Martin Gurri's "The Revolt of the People". It's about a dozen years old now but accurately predicted so much.

  • Pretty funny that Dua Lipa is so opposed to this when her entire catalogue sounds like blatant ripoffs of other people's music.

  • I think so, because this is too pants-on-head crazy to make any sense otherwise. I wonder how many shares these people own and when they bought them.

  • China is facing a huge demographic crisis in the next 10-15 years, so I don't think so. More likely the EU steps up but the world becomes more multipolar in general.

  • Distrobox and Flatpak are more than enough at this stage for most programs

    Maybe for you, but personally I could never get by with only that. I have zero interest in atomic distros. To me they look like an inferior version of NixOS, which I have yet to fully wrap my head around. Until then I'll stick to Arch (BTW)

  • Nothing like cracking open a fresh magazine after leaving empty milk bottles at the door for pickup!

  • Damn, it must include a lot of CDs

  • 5 pounds for a magazine in 2000 seems incredibly expensive!
