To be honest I’m N Irish and we voted against Brexit but are deemed irrelevant due to England. But yeah it absolutely pisses me off to see the English politicians sucking Trump off when we would have been way better off not just being morons and staying in the EU.

Its infuriating to see the UK falling apart when every country except England voted against Brexit but somehow their vote counts double or something.

UK is a wreck and we should just start from scratch and also I can’t see America as anything but an enemy right now (they are obviously siding with both Russia and Israel) both sides I disagree with honestly.

Yep it has no content at all I would ever want to watch and I tried to give it a fair shake. That said I recognise YouTube is pretty much the Monopoly of all Monopolys and don’t know how to fix that.

Yeah I think along the same lines can only hope if servers are compromised like this they get defederated immediately to make a point, ultimately though I think the design of the fediverse pretty much keeps it safe but some servers may unfortunately face consequences

I don’t think they’ll do it, Elon would just take then to court (he’d probably lose) but yeah this is the guy who sued Top Gear and lost because 2 Teslas they reviewed actually broke down, he’s also sued companies for simply not wanting to advertise on twitter/X anymore.

That said although I think Reddit would win anything like that legally they seem like the type of company who would immediately cave and just put the links back.

Not saying you are wrong if anything though I think Reddit is probably the next obvious victim after TikTok they’ll simply point to the Chinese Tencent who own shares and the next thing you know Musk will be part owner.

Fediverse I think will probably be the last hit simply because it’s small and because of the design can’t be hit easily, wouldn’t surprise me if they just targeted the biggest servers though.

Bane of my life as about a year ago my dad switched his sim and immediately started pestering me about not being able to log into his accounts.

Yes he got rid of the old number completly and expected me to somehow make his logins work. This is still going on to this day when he complains to me something doesn’t work it’s because he’s tied it to his old phone number.

Its pretty much Gen X who grew up programming their own games on Amigas on things like that, Milleniums grew up with iPads and game consoles.

When Gen X dies off I’d say the world’s going to have a lot less being fixed all round unless AI gets a lot better.

I’ve never had even a single Facebook account, to explain why it’s because the UK police once tried to stitch me up and they kept demanding my Facebook account (presumably to fish) I never had one but they would not let that go.

Once I got representation that line of questioning ended but holy hell did they seem to put a lot of emphasis on my non existent Facebook account.

For the curious I was raided due to an anonymous phone (to the mayor’s office) call that claimed I was going to shoot up my workplace or something ridiculous.

My belief is the police wanted to impress the mayor so they just wouldn’t let it go despite being nonsense until I paid representation to make them behave.

I’m actually quite happy with mine I don’t think it’s shown me a single ad, the only nuisance is it doesn’t stay connected to my WiFi and only joins when I launch an app or something.

Its a Toshiba with Vidaa Os I think, not saying it’s perfect it has all the UK channel apps but not Stremio which I would like it to have.

That said it hasn’t done a single thing ad wise to annoy me unlike my firetv cube.

Probably Freelancer it’s going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I’ve honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.

Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.

So yeah Id like them to reboot it.

They are refillable at least the lost mary bm6000 is (only one I’m familiar with), it’s actually pretty easy and gives you 10ml in a very small device a big advantage over normal vapes where in the UK the tank can only be 2ml.

They really need to either change that law (2ml is nothing) or start designing reusable vapes that attach the bottle in the same way so you don’t have to constantly refill.

To me the advantage is a small size and the 10ml container being cleverly attached to skirt a silly law.

The big puff vapes you mention can have the battery’s swapped (and charged) and are refillable, they are still a waste though because they only last as long as the coil. But it’s a step in the right direction.

I suspect when the ban comes in they’ll just make the coil changeable and keep selling them as there’s no real reason they actually couldn’t be doing that now.

When you can put an Android fork on an arm laptop then I’ll care.

Next to be introduced the fish and chip tax.

I’d say the stuff in Belfast tastes pretty terrible and I wouldn’t drink it, when I was a kid though it was better than now. I’m honestly not sure I’d risk my tap water even if I bought a filter.

I use signal but I always kind of wanted to switch people to threema but in reality it’s hard enough getting them to install signal.

Sex panther - 60% of the time, it works every time

Yeah it cost me a lot financially but I was happy the police had to drop all their nonsense. I don’t really blame my dad he only got mixed up in it from trying to protect me.

But yeah in hindsight a barrister might have been overkill.

Truthfully they arrested my dad at the same time as trying to get me which made me feel guilty as hell despite the fact I didn’t know what was going on.

I’m not actually sure why a “barrister” my dad hired him first and then probably because of my dad I let him stand for me also…

I only regretted it when I saw the bill, he did keep me out of all the nonsense since he was hired though but yeah Bill made me poor for a long TIME, Same time he might be the only one who made the police behave.

I was in the position I felt I had no choice they kept demanding things like non existent Facebook accounts, they wouldn’t tell me what I was accused off even it was just constant interviews at places harder and harder for me to get to. I was starting to go mad because I didn’t even understand why they had raided me in the first place.

It cost me a lot more than I could afford to hire a barrister but I had the strong feeling I’d be jailed without even knowing why if I didn’t.

But yeah the whole thing seemed to stem from one guys joke at somewhere I wasn’t.
