Yeah I’m the same. I’ve got DDG set as my default search, if the results aren’t useful then I go to google as backup.

Is it just me, or has autocorrect on phones also gotten way, way worse? When would I ever want to type ‘thbnks’?

Thanks.

Sorry if you’ve had to answer this question too much… where can I find out why these instances have been added to the blocklist? Some of them I recognise from previous incidences where someone has flagged them as problematic & provided evidence but some are confusing. I’m nervous about checking them out, but I clicked on one because it sounded very innocuous.

lemmy.glasgow.social just appears to be an instance discussing social events in Glasgow, Scotland, with additional focus on hacking / computer science… how come it’s been blocked? In the modlog I can see that they had a bit of a user purge about 3 months ago with no actions taken since then. But there’s never been any deleted comments or posts.

In Austria and Germany (as far as I’m aware, I’m not a lawyer) when it’s criminal charges the state sues

To follow on from my previous comment… I’m sure you’ve seen multiple cases in your own country where the police / courts decline to charge or prosecute someone based on lack of physical evidence

She will almost certainly find it very, very hard to prove the offence. Police and courts are usually reluctant to prosecute something on a ‘he said, she said’ basis. I can see why she’d not go down the police route with that, without even taking into account the massive power imbalance in terms of wealth / influence

Yes they do, that’s freedom of speech ole chum. And you’re free to ignore them. You’re free to say what you want but you’re not free of the consequences of your speech; if one of those consequences is that people think you’re a bumbum living a bumbum life, and treat you accordingly, well that’s just life I’m afraid.

You seem very fixated on left vs right. What do you want from life? A fair go, right? You want to be paid fairly for the work you do, and have the opportunity to rent or buy housing that doesn’t leave you with no disposable income? You want to be treated with respect?

Many of us whether on the left or the right want exactly the same thing. Many on the right have been gaslit into thinking a) they don’t want the above b) the ‘left’ are their enemy. We’re all just people, and most of us want the same things, when you dig down. Respect, fair pay, housing that doesn’t leave us destitute. It shouldn’t be a big ask imo.

To clarify (what I think you’re talking about), CMBS ie commercial mortgage backed securities is eerily similar to the bullshit that kicked off the '80 ‘great recession’, which was speculation / shorting on MBS. I remember reading an economist at the time of '08 saying this is very bad, but he predicts we’ll just about scrape through it, followed by a long period of stagnating growth, zero lessons learned, then a crash which will make '08 look like a fender bender.

I always hoped he was wrong but day by day, month by month, I saw his prediction coming true.

Well after I wrote it I thought, dancing-and-intoxicants clubs are meaningful to me and my friends, but I bet there’s all sorts of other clubs that would benefit from a dedicated, affordable space to flourish. Your chess club DOES deserve a nice building.

YOU get a building! And YOU get a building… and YOU get a building!

There are so many amazing things those buildings can be, instead of soulsucking pointless offices!

Awesome, some of my favourite clubs were sold off to be used as offices. Can we turn them back into clubs now?
