Oh no, won’t someone please think about the religious LGBT-hate organisation 😭😭

As a religious organisation, they are allowed to hire based on characteristics that you usually aren’t allowed to discriminate with. They’ve repeatedly supported legislation that would allow them to refuse to hire LGBT people.

Across several countries, they’ve campaigned against the right for homosexual sex, marriages, inclusion in media.

They refused a $3.5m contract from the San Francisco city gov because it would’ve included giving the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples.

They said they’d leave New York if they were forced to offer the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples.

They campaigned against UK local councils including gay people in media like leaflets and the like.

High ups in The Salvation Army has said if you support gay rights you shouldn’t donate to them.

They’re extremely transphobic too, of course.

They did a bunch of child sexual abuse in Australia.

In the UK they own a lot of property that poor people stay in, and the conditions have been so bad that it was unlawful.

For the most part it’s just that they’re homophobic as fuck.

Same as you would with any other data.

Although it’d matter much less if you know you can just pirate it again in the event of you doing no backups and losing the data.

I disagree. Piracy is the answer IMO.

• as someone else said, invasive DRM exists on discs too

• discs can’t store enough data for a lot of modern games, necessitating downloads anyway

• discs can be damaged, lost, or stolen

The only way to ensure we still have access to this stuff in the future is a healthy cracking and pirating community.

That would be such a mistake and only serve to cause more division, because as you say, the UK would never accept it. Neither would multiple countries already in the EU that also use their own currency.

The EU, generally, are pragmatic. They’d much rather get other concessions than wasting political capital on trying to enforce the Euro on the UK.

E: downvote all you like, but that’s realpolitik. The EU isn’t going to pass up the second largest economy in the continent over something so trivial that they don’t even pressure much smaller countries into it. Pure fantasy from people who don’t have a clue.

He’s right.

It’s far safer to have automotive glass that shatters into small pieces than something that is very difficult to break and that eventually breaks into long, sharp shards.

And even the “they don’t pay the artist thing” is somewhat defensible in that the record labels take a much larger cut than Spotify.

They’re the main ones taking the money away from artists.

By far my main issue with Spotify is for giving massive paycheques to the likes of Joe Rogan

All this really does is consume a little more data and clutters the screen more.

I’d much rather the android auto team work on having as many voice commands as possible be offline and on-device, so I’m not waiting 10 seconds for it to communicate with Google servers after I say “yes” to confirm something.

Ah, yeah, but then Google won’t get my voice data. Silly me.

It’s not the full force. I shared my account and for a while it was the same, you had to dismiss warnings and say “yeah I’m totally in the same household”, but about a month ago it stopped working entirely.

I stopped paying. I could justify sharing my netflix account, but £18 for a single person household, with me not being much of a TV watcher in the first place? Nah.

If they had just been slightly less greedy, I’d have happily continued. Shit company.

Considering it uses day then month, 24hr clock, and distance in km, I’m guessing the reason why it’s not “human readable in American” is because it’s intended to be “human readable for pretty much everybody else”

The date format isn’t incorrect at all

BUY BUY BUY

You are right, it’s wayyy too large to fit in one book, I misspoke when I said book

I had no idea they don’t want to make physical copies anymore, though, part of me is sad about that, although I can certainly appreciate why they’d go in that direction.

Another W for the Casio F-91W

You can still buy the book or access the site via most libraries.

I get that it’s a bit annoying, but I’m guessing you’d also be annoyed about an ad-ridden, data-harvesting dictionary.

The Oxford English Dictionary is without a doubt the most well-researched, comprehensive, and linguistically complete English dictionary on Earth, bar none. Nothing even comes close to its depth and scope.

It perhaps is the most well-researched and comprehensive dictionary of all languages, but I wouldn’t know.

It’s laid out in an unusual way and even has words and alternate meanings that haven’t been used for centuries. It’s not meant to be a general-purpose dictionary, it’s niche and predominantly for linguistic experts or people fascinated by language.

An unbelievable amount of research goes into it, and those people deserve to be paid.

There are dozens of freely-available general-purpose dictionaries out there if you want them.

Exactly, all these redditors and lemmyers (lemmings??) keep saying “oh he should be working for MI5 or a cyber security firm, not getting court-ordered mental support!”

And it makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Even if we ignore him purposely breaking the law while on curfew from breaking the law previously, has been violent, and straight up said he wants to commit more crime, even if all of that is ignored, no company would trust him.

His application would be thrown straight into the bin in my company, and we don’t even deal with stuff that’s that sensitive.

Like seriously, have these people ever heard of the concept of insider threats?

And people keep making up bullshit about him.

He’s not in prison, he’s in a mental institution getting therapy because he has issues and was violent. He straight up told the judge he intends to commit more crimes.

I have zero love for Rockstar’s bs and I do have admiration of this young man’s skills, but he clearly presented himself as someone who can’t just be free without any further intervention.

Quit your performative bullshit. This is one of the few instances where accusing someone of “virtue signalling” is completely valid.

Your life is carbon intensive too. Stop looking down at others.

Until the gulf stream gets fucked, then Ireland, the UK, and plenty of other places in Europe will suddenly plummet in temperature. Remember we’re further north than the bulk of Canada… fun times ahead.

Mate what? You typically see -3 to maybe 7C. It’s 13-14C today it seems. That’s not normal.

The warmest Christmas in UK history is 15C. Yesterday was the hottest Christmas eve since 1997. We won’t know until tomorrow if today is the hottest Christmas on record.

Quit your climate change denial bullshit.

Yes, I can see that. The dementia is already eating away at you.
