They’ll use AI to detect it… obviously. ☺️

No this was the unions. I don’t believe Progress has anything to do with these talks.

(I’m fully expecting no-one to get this lane joke and, as it’s internet tradition, kick off. Here you go… I’m here all week)

They’re a bit Militant, mind you. 😉

Also, I imagine New Yorkers would just make car bomb/IRA jokes in return.

Wait till you learn who funded the IRA in the 70s and 80s…

Apple are well aware of EU laws. Just ask the Irish treasurer…

AHH you’re too quick!

This has interesting ramifications for the Republic as well. If this is incompatible with the Good Friday agreement for the Northern Irish then is that also true for the Republic? And if so, will that just make the island of Ireland a giant hotspot for asylum seekers? Presumably nobody is asking for a border to stop Asylum seekers moving from Northern Ireland to Ireland? I’m not sure the EU would welcome this either.

Actually I don’t know what the fuck will happen, LOL.

Any context for what Lammy said? Not that don’t believe David Lammy would say dumb shit like this for votes, he totally would, I just don’t trust the one sided journalism of skwawkbox.

When those Greens nominate a candidate that thanks Jesus for giving them strength then you know they’ve gone full insane… Right? 🤣

If you were expecting nuance and balance in a meme you might not exactly understand why you’re here.

Open Office was a cesspool of disease, even before covid it was problematic:

Thankfully enough people realised this and switched to Libre.

Do you think the EBU’s actions are related to this sponsorship?

Undoubtedly, yes. Otherwise they would have been more transparent about it / never taken the sponsorship in the first place.

I believe the EBU when they say they’re not a political organisation / competition. I also believe that they don’t give two shits about human rights violations one of their members is committing because the money is too good. They’re not concerned with politics, they’re concerned with money.

And that’s not a reflection on the EBU, that’s a reflection on Europe and European attitudes in general. There might be some outrage here or there and a few protests but ultimately Europeans don’t give a shit. Same with the US. Weapons and money are still funneled into Israel and this won’t stop. Illegally seized land is still illegally seized and it won’t be returned. UN mandates are still ignored and they won’t be respected. Palestinian children will still be bombed by Israel on the off chance they might grow up and potentially join Hamas and that won’t stop.

He was lorded simply by being prime minister. It was traditional up until Boris said fuck may. I have no clue what’s going on since then

What? That’s not even laughably true.

When left the PM’s office in 2016 he didn’t automatically become a lord. He spent 7 years afterwards not being a lord but received a life peerage in 2023 when he became foreign secretary.

Where the fuck do you get your information? LOL 😂

I never said it was automatic

You kinda did

He was lorded simply by being prime minister.

Which is wrong.

You also said

It was traditional up until Boris said fuck may.

Which is also wrong. John Major didn’t get a lordship. Tony Blair didn’t get a lordship. Gordon Brown didn’t get a lordship. You have to go back to Margaret Thatcher to find an example supporting your claims. That’s some twenty six years of being wrong… more of you count the PMs after Boris. 🤣🤣

Why did the government put a law into place to stop museums giving stuff back? No one was asking for it.

Because old people don’t want to have to travel past the M25 to see history stuff.

It’s always the old people. Always.

Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur says McLaren’s Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix win is the latest sign that Red Bull is “not anymore in the comfort zone” of 2023.

Red Bull go on to win every race remaining of the season. Let’s be honest.

Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access exclusive videos for more money. Basically pay money once, and then pay more money for more content.

You talking about YouTube Premium? I literally never see ads in videos and am never asked to tip creators.I listen to hours and hours of music absolutely ad free. Is this a regional thing? What country are you in?

Pay to go see a concert. Band has merchandise on sale. Oh shit… What do you do? First answer wins.

EBU: We do not condone aggressive finger wagging. Offenders will be prosecuted.

The FLAC audio file format for example was developed in part by the EBU.

Is this actually true? I don’t see that mentioned in their Wikipedia page. According to that the Xiph.Org Foundation developed the format.

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Oh right 👍. I forget that Wikipedia has pages in other languages and that they aren’t necessarily written by the same author.
