Who is “nebula.tv”?

Nebula is an independent creator-owned streaming service. Think of it like a cross between Patreon, YouTube, and Netflix.

Patreon, in that you get some exclusive or early-access content, but largely it's about ad-free versions of what's available on YouTube already.

YouTube in that it's a large number of small-time creators, and the vast majority of the creators on Nebula got invited to the platform because of their success on YouTube.

And Netflix because unlike Patreon, it's a single subscription to gain access to the whole library, not a per-creator fee. It's also relatively exclusive and only available to creators who are selectively invited to join.

The full library can be browsed without an account, so you can use that to decide if you like what's on offer. They've got news programmes, media reviews & criticism, urbanism, science and sport discussion, cultural commentary, and more. Oh, and game shows. But as a general rule, it's all extremely high quality stuff, and most of it is either left leaning or attempts to present a neutral point of view (as TLDR does).

If you wanna know more, head over to !nebula@lemmy.world.

Yeah sorry. I'm aware of it, but it's proving tougher than I expected to actually fix, and I don't have as much time to spend on fixing it as I'd like.

Haven't had the chance to watch it yet, but from the title my answer would be…they aren't. The Coalition is collapsing, and One Nation is benefitting from that. But the right/left vote is not shifting that much.

The final step in this recipe didn't say "enjoy!" so I ate it, but was miserable the whole time.

Yeah IIRC a while ago Aldi ran an ad campaign which was basically "look, we know we don't have everything you want, so you're going to go elsewhere. Just come to us first for the bulk of your stuff, hey?" Pretty clever, if you ask me.

I'm with Woolies Mobile, which gets me 10% off of one shop per month. I signed up when they had some really great long-expiry plans so I pay only about $12 per month on average, paid annually instead of monthly. The catch was…right after I recharged for the second time, they announced you can no longer use the monthly discount on online orders.

It was about that time they made their Delivery Unlimited worse too, though I forget exactly how.

It's funny cos when I was young I recall it being called (at least sometimes) ADD. So the H has been added (or made mandatory in the name) at a time when we're realising that hyperactivity is not a necessary symptom.

omg I thought 3 pointed down and couldn't think of anything that goes "all " and " all", even with the clues...

It's for online delivery and direct to boot orders I assume, but no thanks.

Though I haven't used online delivery or direct to boot orders since they decided you're not allowed to use your monthly discount on anything other than in-store.

None of what you said is new to me, or likely to anyone in this thread. And apart from the last two paragraphs, none of it is even controversial.

The penultimate paragraph is a bit misleading. It's not that Taiwan is not "a legitimate national government". It's that its claims to be the national government of all of China were obviously bullshit for a government that had not had actual control over mainland China for over two decades at the point that UN recognition changed.

The last paragraph is true in the sense of what is official recognised, but obviously incorrect in reality. Taiwan is an independent country as a matter of fact and has been since the end of the civil war. I'm not interested in what they claim, or the PRC claims, or America claims, or even what Australia claims. It is an entirely separate country that maintains entirely separate foreign policy, separate defence force, and entirely operates its own internal affairs. In no real sense is it part of the same country. And that's what actually matters. Anyone who claims Taiwan is not an independent country is doing so for political reasons, and their discussions on the subject should be treated with significant scepticism. At best, they're playing a game of realpolitik. At worst they're talking bullshit.

I know which is going on here.

Taiwan has been an independent country for over three quarters of a century. So yes, a forceful invasion of another country for the purposes of exploiting its resources and population would be colonialism.

Nice deflection. We're not talking about what happened 400 years ago. We're talking about what's going on right now.

Yes, the pre-communist, pre-republic Chinese imperialism against the native Taiwanese population was bad. It doesn't justify modern-day imperialism from the PRC, any more than poor treatment of the various central Vietnamese native populations would justify Chinese imperialism against Vietnam. Or indeed any more than Australia's treatment of its Indigenous population would justify China deciding to invade Australia.

Your blatant whataboutism is not a defence of China here.

Yes, that's completely true.

It does not in any way excuse China for its own current imperialism (e.g., Tibet, Xianjiang), or for its threats of further direct military conquests for the sake of expanding its empire (the subject of this article).
