Since this came right after a post from [email protected] on my feed i honestly thought it was the onion.

It’s been influenced by both spanish and french cultural erasure to the point modern catalan is quite similar and readable to people who speak Spanish or French. (Though still quite a distinct language).

Merci per la idea de negoci. (/s)

I’ve never bought a game that isn’t indie since 5 years 🫡

I expect better from a popular FOSS tool being used by privacy aware people though.

nope

This thing Anubis always flags me for some reason. I use mullvad and safari (ios) with some add and tracker blocking extensions.

I’ve had trouble with it using a vpn and privacy browsers. It often blocks me until I use a default browser.

Yeah. Me choosing to use a vpn and a privacy respecting browser has earnt me a constant captcha

What do you mean “is there proof”.

MBFC isnt some professional shit. It’s some guys opinions about websites.

It’ll call something like the economist which has endorsed the UK conservative party in the past decade “center left” for not being straight up facist.

It’s not a very high quality thing.

There is news that’s way more well done than BBC, like the intercept, byline times, propublica etc

Decent News Service? The BBC is at best problematic.

Copyright law also doesn’t allow them to download the entirety of a piracy database of books. But here we are, they clearly don’t care about copyright law.

I think it’s a waste tbh. Like it’s one of those capitalist things of “well its not profitable to sell so lets destroy them”, when anything made for the good of the people would’ve seen a massive opportunity to distribute books to people for free!

Me trying to hold both truths at once that Street view is an absolutely fantastic tool and that I hate google so damn much.

What is ios 26? I thought we were on ios18??

I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.

But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.

Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.

You forgot:

“corrupt facist rescinds all media freedoms, soft bans the opposition, and basically destroys the semi-democracy they had. Actively bans universities.”
