Release the dogs on them. Live Nation has done nothing but rip off concert goers and harm small bands with their ridiculous fees and contractual venue restrictions, and this is without even touching on the horrible ticket scalping issues that they refuse to do anything about.

If I'm also recalling correctly, if a venue is signed up to Ticketmaster they cannot independently host events - everything has to be done through Ticketmaster 🤦‍♂️

the postal service having a sympathy strike and no longer delivering registration plates to them

Oh wow that's insane 😂

I honestly don't see how the idea of everyone getting an equal share is an extremist idea

I agree.

Should I be labelled an extremist for being completely fine with, let's say, a completely democratic business structure, where workers have equal say? A public transport system owned by the people, to serve the people? An education system owned by teachers, allowing teachers to do their best, instead of being overworked and having to pay for classroom supplies at their own cost? Nowhere does it say we'd remove the options for people to use a car, or force them into a packed subway or whatever, and nobody claims it would be a magical perfect system that solves all issues. But somehow the mere idea is extremist 🤯

This idea being conflated/confused with an authoritarian leadership style also causes a lot of problems IMO

Doomscrolling does not literally mean your feed is full of negative content lol, it's just mindless scrolling

Attacking the Blender foundation is honestly a new low. There is no "lulz" and nothing to gain

I've only really used it to check how my portfolio site would render on a non-Chromium and non-Gecko browser, and actually found a few issues with the site that needed fixing. Would have used Safari if I had it, but the only apple device in my household runs Linux 🤫.

Aside from that, it's a very lightweight browser and fits in well with the Gnome DE design style. Personally I wouldn't use it as a primary browser since I've got all my extensions, bookmarks and container tabs all set up in Firefox, however the simplicity and clean design of Epiphany is quite appealing imo. The last time I tried it there was an option in the browser settings to block ads, pretty nice to have that OOTB

Those ads would need to be unskippable, otherwise we could just pull the timestamps that the Skip button uses and sponsorblock will be all complete again 👌

Honestly this is what pushed me to look into alternative ways to watch YT years ago. Muting every time an ad comes on gets old quick, especially when the ad is way louder than the content

Sending files from my phone to my laptop - just copy them to a special folder and boom, sent 😁

Thiel, a libertarian, told an Oxford Union debate in January that the NHS makes people sick and should be privatised, and that Britons’ attachment to it showed they were exhibiting “Stockholm syndrome”.

Enough with privatizing stuff and billionaires owning things that are supposed to be public, look at the complete mess that is US healthcare and public transport in developing nations.

It's almost like these kinds of people have forgotten guillotines exist
