I thought masks wouldn’t protect against a virus (being tiny) but might help slow the spread to others by stopping spittle/moisture filled with virus from covering real world objects.
How do they help you if no one else is wearing them?
It’s worse than that, they have an existential crisis due to older voters not wanting them. For decades as people got older they started getting more conservative (small c) in their views. This has stopped happening on a scale that it once did.
Their voters are literally dying and not being replaced. It’s mainly because people around the world have not been able to generate wealth and assets to the extent that generations before them have.
Good fucking riddance to them all.
There has already been a big shift and a brain drain from the Tory party. Literally no one is competent enough for the Foreign Sec job so Dave has to come back.
The purges of Boris et al are adding up to a psychotic shift to the right and pure populism. Your David Gaukes, Rory Stewart’s etc. all forced out. Teresa May is a least not a psycho, but that doesn’t mean you have to agree with her. You can understand why she acts the way she does.
Nigel is going to make sure the shift to the right is permanent. They will be the Fox News GB edition party.
With the Tories, gone is the time you could say “you know what I completely disagree with what you are saying but I completely understand why you are saying it.”.
I think Guy Fawkes had a lot of good ideas.
The older and shittier the ISP the more blocks of IPV4 addresses they have. They have blocks from when they were given out willy nilly.
New ISPs, the ones that compete and bring the prices down have to buy addresses and that costs money and is a cost bigger and older ISPs do not have.
This is a case for regulation - either mandating a move to V6 or mandating the release of stockpiled v4 addresses. ISPs will not do that on their own, the addresses can currently be sold for lots of money.
I use Sync and don’t pay anything. It’s brilliant and the ads are basically invisible and rare.
Literally was the best Reddit app and it is a fantastic port to Lemmy.
You can choose to pay the dev if you want to. I haven’t yet, but likely will if I spend more time here.
When I used to have Reddit on my phone, I’d look at it as soon as I woke up. There was new content constantly throughout the day so I kept coming back.
Lemmy doesn’t have the content churn, so I can genuinely just look once a day and spend an hour or so catching up. No FOMO! I much prefer it.
However I do miss some of the niche subreddits that got reasonable activity on Reddit and absolutely zero activity here. They were my favourite part of Reddit.
I’d take more activity in those niche places, but I don’t miss the addiction I had.
Spez let me go cold turkey for a while. Thanks (fuck) Spez.
