Social media is polarising. Lemmy, for example, and to a lesser extent Reddit, are politically left leaning. Xitter and Truth Social both very right leaning. Across all platforms voices to which do not conform to the status quo are either attacked or silenced. It’s anonymous mob mentality. The human animal was not meant to communicate this way, it’s not healthy, it just creates echo chambers on both sides, spreads misinformation, and is addictive.

Same. I’m not sure Lemmy is any better tho. I know, I’m a hypocrite.

And then the judges

If you think this regime is going to obey the law then I think you will be in for a nasty surprise. Kidnapping dissident students is just the beginning.

As someone who has recently cancelled my Microsoft subscription and switched to libre office I can vouch that it was not the subscription cost that made me switch.

It’s gone so well for us in the UK, I can’t imagine the entire organisation being asset stripped and then held for random at the taxpayer’s expense.

Well, if I’m honest I tried to install Win11 before Linux but it was such a pain in the arse I gave up. The installer couldn’t pick up the SSD so I had to download drivers onto USB and install them half way through the wizard. THEN, it wouldn’t pick up the WiFi card so I bypassed that to get the installer to finish, and to top it off, even after I’d installed all the drivers, it still didn’t pick it up, not in the device manager, nowhere, as if it didn’t exist. So I gave up. Linux installed first time and although it’s not quite perfect yet it’s functional enough for me to actually use the flipping thing! Haha

I’ve installed every Windows since 95 on various machines and never had so much trouble. Win11 is complete crap. And Microsoft are a bunch of dickheads for forcing it when there was literally nothing wrong with Win10.

And I now I use Linux. Will never go back to Windows after this nonsense.

I would not F Elon, even in that context.

In this instance, yes, but which is why I said the cafe worker should have an internal bin for customer usage. In most other cases there is no one on site for weeks at a time.

It’s not like paper and plastic wrappers are heavy or bulky. Just hold onto it or put it your pocket until you get home or find a bin elsewhere.

Because that would mean employing someone to empty them regularly, and as most woodland is few and far between in this country most woodland owners deem that an unnecessary expense.

I used to work for the Woodland Trust and believe that this is the right thing to do. Bins in woodlands do not get emptied often and will often overflow and attract unwanted pests like rats. Rats will also eat the eggs of ground nesting birds and cause other environmental issues.

If they are selling food on site then the food vendor should have a bin that their customers can use inside their cabin/cafe and dispose of the waste daily as part of the service.

I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don’t seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He’s just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He’s probably deeply lonely and paranoid.

Not that I care. He’s also a cunt.
