Hyper processed shit. I feel sorry for children who are fed this.

This is the hard hitting journalism I come to Lemmy for.

The UK obviously is no longer a superpower. But the BBC is the cornerstone of the UKs modern global soft power projection. Broadcasting it free projects the UK government’s voice around the world directly into homes, influencing world policy to their liking.

Putting a paywall in the US sends a message that they feel it is not needed or not effective in the US market.

It also mirrors what paid sport broadcasting in the UK has done. Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth. The UK is struggling.

Unironically agree. But targeting carbon emissions.

One squggly line of mustard is not a Chicago dog.

The fuck is that hotdog

Don’t you open that trap dooooooor

OMG thats what that is… I thought I was crazy

Right now it is ok. But I worry that AI will enshittify even the Feddiverse.

Cities largely vote blue, even in red states. I don’t think Maga cares.

Easy there. “Remember when /b/ was good?” is a meme from /b/ itself. The answer even in 2010 was “/b/ was never good”.

Yeahhh… somewhat cringe in hindsight, but a core part of old internet.

Remember when /b/ was good??

Drug smuggling does need to be addressed… but not in the direction they imagine…

I could not find it in the article, but what gives them the authority to do that on the Canadian side?

Same. But I opened a Proton Mail and forwarded all my emails there. Now I am slowly (when bored) updating all my services to the new email. You can do it. Step by step over many years. But start now

I use Jellyfin and VPN into my home network to stream on the go.

I am sure many of you know, but Dr. Hanks at UI is Tom Hank’s brother… may have something to do with the privacy.

…Are we the baddies?

Commercial VPNs are too inconvenient and saturated these days. It is not 2010 anymore. Every commercial VPN is leveraged by scrapers and other bots. If you use them, expect to face captchas. For the same price as a commercial VPN provider I rent a VPS and run OpenVPN on it. Personal, private, dedicated IPv4.

You are all nerds, act like it.
