Authoritarian left is a thing…

DDD

Recent. cAP AC (1yo) and cAP lite (3yo) are still running in my household, and RB4011iGS+RM (3yo) was until about a month ago.

What they say, plus I wouldn’t recommend Mikrotik HW, which I went with based on Reddit recommendations for much the same use case as yours. Pretty clunky to set up, had to debug some idiosyncracies with the help of the forums, their wireless gear is slow, and it all runs hot AF.

Maybe. Who am I to judge?

Quite strange when you know the scene.

I think it’s not even about shadowbanning, I think it’s about Twitter not giving you anything to interact with (a discovery mechanism). Reddit/Lemmy has a list of subreddits/communities that have a clear focus, so you can jump right in and engage. Neither Twitter nor Mastodon have that. There, you need to find people who generally post/share things that interest you, but that’s a lot more difficult.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Yep. I’ve been here for one day and I’m already talking in conversations. Took me two weeks to get anywhere on Mastodon. (And exactly the same on Reddit and Twitter before… the incidents.)

Yep, same in the Czech Republic.

The stated problem is actually more pronounced with a larger number of parties than 2. If the governing party is strong, but doesn’t have majority, and the opposition is split, they usually need to trade favours with the opposition parties to get anything done.

That could be pretty easily abused, imagine, by straw men siphoning state money without any prospect of winning.

At least in Europe, there are campaign financial limits so things don’t get too out of hand. Corruption, therefore, is done via other means.

On the internet, nobody knows you’re one of these:

That was rhetorical.

But since we’re all gathered here… I used to buy a lot of their stuff, and, well, now I don’t because they’ve gone to shit.

He did say something to that effect, yes.

Not any more, actually. Francis rides in the open.

WTH do people do with their cables? I haven’t had one fray/fail on me… ever, and I pay zero attention to them.

Charging my laptop with my powerbank I have for my phone is a moment of glory.

Philips used to be a pretty decent brand, it’s gone down big time over the last decade. Ask me how I know.

Talk to the parents then?
