He had a good sense of humour when it was about how great he was. A bit of a notorious asshole in other regards.
- Comment on Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits? 2 days ago:
Botslop is performative. Few would care to “join in”

It’s not about Protestantism vs Catholicism.
- Comment on Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits? 2 days ago:
It exists and some Lemmy communities operate that way. It’s not a good idea at all in practice. For example one community mirrors a tech support subreddit. It’s utterly pointless engaging in that community because the person asking the question will never read your answers. You can’t bootstrap a sense of community.

Something quite apt that that website seems stuck in a 1990s time warp. But where’s the counter?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
This is a bad, stupid, destructive and dangerous idea. We don’t need more echo chambers radicalising people to one pole or other.

Because authors will run out of renewal money much quicker than conglomerates.

So a system that removes all the power from individual authors and puts it firmly in the hands of big corporations with deepest pockets? Nah.

It’s very clear from context that the sentence refers to Britain.
- Comment on Sweden’s most powerful laser delivers record-short light pulses 1 week ago:
Still can’t play the new Lorde album though.
- Comment on The Brits who want to overthrow the state 1 week ago:
None of that resulted in the overthrow of any government. Electoral reform was carried out by the government, and the Suffragette militant campaign ended in failure in 1914.

As it suggests, the Ukrainian Maidan was, well, in Ukraine.

- Comment on Protest footage blocked as online safety act comes into force 2 weeks ago:
The film How to Lose Friends & Alienate People was based on his memoir. He wrote of the UK Covid response
spending £350 billion to prolong the lives of a few hundred thousand mostly elderly people is an irresponsible use of taxpayer’s money

Yup. Skydance TV merged with Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and it’s now Paramount TV Studios.
- Comment on it shouldn't be too hard to extend the right to be forgotten to deadnames as well, legislatively 2 weeks ago:
If Walter committed minor fraud and is now Wendy, she can avail herself of the right to be forgotten. But if Wendy used to run Walter’s Windows and Doors, I don’t see the argument how that in itself is stigmatisation.

The trade journal for the journalism industry in Britain.
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 2 weeks ago:
The Government isn’t the house, it’s the around 140 ministers appointed by the PM, drawn from both houses, plus the whips. Opposite them is the opposition frontbench, which is the leader of the opposition and the shadow cabinet, and their whips. Everyone else in the Commons from those two parties are backbenchers.
