🤷 I’ve mostly used it for MAME anyway.

Well he’s going to need all that money to pay his water bill! Have you seen the rate they’re going up?

Bush, Trump, Clinton and Biden all got more innocent people killed than Julian. Their crimes all dwarf anything he is accused of let alone is guilty of. If you are not a literal bot, you have allowed yourself to be programmed by intelligence agencies into hating the man who exposed the crimes over the men who committed them.

@[email protected] The British People don’t want it at all, but we are ruled by fuckheads who can only get their seat by accepting bribes from private health companies.

@[email protected] That’s why the sudden rush-move. Calling the election before enough letters can arrive to have him kicked out.

@[email protected] More like exposing him really. Let him talk to damn himself.

The british public are pretty conservative, but the tory party are a fucking wrecking ball and no conservative should vote conservative if they want to conserve things.

@[email protected] Yeah, it’d just be easier to reset than to sort through good from bad. Can always re-assess any good ones. Chances are even they can be done better.

Resetting the Brexit and other foreign treaty stuff could be quite tricky in practice too.

If only there really was a party offering to undo every law the conservative and coalition governments have passed and return us to a time before they existed.

That party would be the best party.

Sadly that isn’t on offer and even Labour intend to keep this mess of a country mostly without any reverting of changes at all.

While it still says “twitter.com” in the SSL certificate, that’s still it’s name. It is still called Twitter.

There’s literally no way to know what a Labour government will be like. All we know about Starmer is that he’s prepared to lie and say whatever he thinks he needs to say to get power.

Was he lying to the left to get selected? Or is he lying to the right now to get elected?

🤷

Even to whatever extent they have described any policies at all, they’re probably just lies.

Still. The mystery prize will indeed be better than yet more crazed Tories. I suspect just not all that different.

@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.

If I can’t get that then I’d think about abandoning the web for Gemini.

In the first term of a Labour government they will maybe be a bit less hostile towards the EU but they won’t be re-joining or anything. They’ll have no mandate to do so since they worry putting it in a manefesto would alienate their red-wall voters.

As it currently looks Labour won’t do much of anything at all. Continue tory spending plans, refuse to raise any taxes, not rebuild any schools, not make any changes which may affect the social order or reform capitalism in any way.

Expect 4 years of calm with almost nothing happening. Which in itself will be quite a relief.

@Oneeightnine The only horrific thing he has to do is look like he’ll lose the election.

For what it’s worth, I too have no confidence that Sunak will win the election, thank goodness.

Those submitting letters to the committee now probably never liked Sunak in the first place, some may have even submitted them on day one when they were just angry at him ousting BoJo.

Of course they do, Labour will be the ones passing the laws in a couple of years and they’ve shown under their current leadership they are no threat to established interests and will do nothing to change the order of things and since the party has lost so many members it needs the money.

@BenGFHC
They only have one button. Their choice is to press it or not press it. So they press it when inflation is high. You could get a robot to do it. They know it won’t work, might even make it worse, but they have no other buttons to press.

This wave will surely redouble when the apps actually get turned off next week.

Fedi has always had scalloped growth. Big Social tightens the thumb-screws, a wave of people leave, half of them go back because it turns out they can put up with the thumb-screws after all. Those that remain settle in and start servers. The waterline is then higher when the next wave comes.

Probably the “company” that they thought you were shilling for is Kbin or Lemmy? Which aren’t companies of course, but an understandable mistake.

Presumably the people on Reddit will become more and more in favour of the admins, as everyone who isn’t leaves.

Soon all that is left will be the Spez Fan Club.

@Rain3h Dunno waht the Jarboa app is.

But log in to the feddit.uk server, search for @gunners in the search, and if nothing is broken with federation it should show up.

The cevat is that sometimes at the moment servers are turning on DDOS protection, and that breaks the federation. Hopefully they eventually can turn that off and restore federation to it’s full working state. lemmy world seems to be connecting to fedia.io at the moment at least.
