I got nitro for similar reasons but would up cancelling when discord sent ads to a friend of mine with my screen name on it, “why not join your friend _____ with nitro” or something.
Absolutely not, don’t use my name to shill to people I respect.
The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.
The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.
“Big government” means thinking the government is bigger and more expensive than it needs to be.
When all the government needs to do is keep me happy then any program which I understand benefits me is vital and any which doesn’t is “big government”
A bit of both, I got Manchester from the skyline then needed to sate my curiosity

I think this is why the OP mentioned buy less stuff and travel less, these two directly reduce the demand for environmentally harmful goods and services, reducing the ecological impact of the companies which issue the shares that make the billionaires in question billionaires.
It’s kinda disappointing to see a post about good actionable advice to do the best you can to reduce climate change and the first reply on Lemmy is non actionable (and more controversially; to my mind irrelevant) advice to assassinate billionaires.
So as far as I can tell the rule for deciding if a french word is feminine is “does it end with an e”.
There are exceptions and French people claim that’s not how it works, but it is an incredibly useful heuristic
Makes sense, the code-points split is stable; meaning it’s fine to put in the standard library, the grapheme split changes every year so the volatility is probably better off in a crate.
As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.
So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.
Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.
Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”
