What?

  • Bank holiday suggests it's UK, and we have legal requirement for 28 days holiday pro-rated per year. If staff don't book it, the employer has to allocate it. So it is satire.

    If it was from a USian, I wouldn't be able to tell.

  • He's anti immigration but he's literally an immigrant.

  • Do you think frogface will allow it? I can't imagine either of those narcissists being willing to share the limelight.

  • Oh come on, we all know Savile, Huntley and the Wests were Arab Pakistani Ethiopian Muslim Hindus who came on a small boat! They were probably gay and trans too!

    /s

    In any case, isn't the one good thing musk ever did was get his siblings away from their white abusive dad?

  • Only two of the ones you recommended show up in the play store for me. Anysoft got really bad reviews. I tried Unexpected, but it lives up to its name. I didn't expect to need a read a manual to learn how it works. I've made sure futo doesn't have internet access and it hasn't sent any data according to android. I'm a Dvorak girl (even though it does make hilarious typos more likely on touchscreen) and its hard to find a good keyboard that works well with Dvorak.

    Once fossify's one comes out of beta, I'll give it another go.

  • YouTube has no problem with multiple different ai generated gory videos of Rebecca Madeupname being mauled alive by an orca. Every time I opened a private window, one of these was recommended. No age restriction, nothing.

    They have no problem with porn bots spamming family friendly channels with pro-paedo comments, even though they use the same avatars and messages so should be easy to filter out. Videos promoting dangerous hacks stay up even after multiple reports. They're fine monetising reaction channels that are nothing more than freebooting other people's work.

    So YouTube's tos really comes down to: it's fine if it makes money.

    I wish there was proper competition, even if it was run by another awful company like Microsoft or amazon. AFAIK no other platform offers monetisation like yt does, so people stay and put up with their crap.

    (Personally I'm hoping to reupload mf stuff to peertube if I ever come out this slump.)

  • But but but -- that can't be right! Elon musk said it's all brown people doing that! Surely elon musk would never lie to us like that!

  • Dammit. Thanks for that. The description made it look like Foss and I fell for it. I've only just got my futo trained, but I'll look at the others you recommended. I got the beta fossify before futo as I like the rest of the suite, but it didn't even have a dictionary?

  • Futo is Foss and offline. I switched to it recently from Swiftkey. Before that, apps would always restart if I switched windows or tabbed back to home screen and I assumed it was just my phone being lame. But since switching, that happens a lot less. So I can only assume futo is using less resources.

  • Oooh but Irish is not a regional dialect of English, it's a different language. Gotcha!

  • Art takes time, money and creativity to make. Of course that's going to be more expensive than downloading something someone else made and printing it out. Accounting for the time and costs that go into making art isn't a high markup, it's being paid for your labour.

  • Not really. This side of the pond, we have suella braverman, priti Patel and the current leader of the opposition kemi badenoch. All British maga types. First two Indian ethnicity, the other Nigerian. Badenoch only has British citizenship from her parents booking a private hospital here to give birth to her, then went straight back to Nigeria.

    She is frequently spewing hard right rhetoric about immigrants, saying they need to earn their citizenship, with no self awareness whatsoever. She denied racism was a problem in the uk until she personally started getting hate. Yet she still wants the far right in power and is determined to carry on pushing the Tories to the far right. Then when her wet dream comes true and Farridge gets in, with his plan to deport even legally settled immigrants, she'll cry that the leopards weren't meant to ear HER face.

  • Sean is an Irish name though. It is spelt Seán in Irish iirc. The e makes the s soft, the accent on a makes the e silent. Irish spelling does make sense once you learn the system.

  • Me too. I loved that theme. We had the stencils from Get Crafty. My dream was to get my own bedroom and decorate it with that theme.

  • (Just to clear up the misconception that the autism spectrum goes from NT to "severely" autistic. It's not a linear scale from not autistic to autistic.)

  • Are you able to access archive.org from where you are in the UK?

  • I couldn't even access my home instance (thelemmy.club) after a server upgrade without changing my DNS. I thought it had shut down until I saw it worked on a VPN. ISPs do weird stuff like that. Try changing your DNS. Archive.org works fine for me, I'm using cloudflare DNS.

  • Talktalk wifi and it loads for me.

  • There are enough morons in the UK clamouring for what the US has right now, so no, the rest of us aren't okay.
