As a modern Brit, this list is just fucking weird. It’s only a very specific type of middle class English that would relate to this.

What’s your alternative to democracy after this “peaceful revolution”? Who’s in charge? You?
Is this revolution anarchist, communist, fascist, or something else?
And what kind of democracy are you talking about? There are many varieties, with some being far better than others.

It seems to be some reference to this, although I can’t find anything about sacks and snakes. As stated by u/stovetop only the rich were in parliament, so if this did happen it was just one group of rich greedy people turning on another group of rich greedy people. Nothing to get excited about.
I thought it was the 51st?
Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they’ll ignore the stuff that means they can’t eat tasty pork
“28g of poop for each 5.4 kg of their body weight” for the metrically inclined
What does “exposed your alt on .ca” mean?
Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?
It validates that governments can see what’s happening on Telegram, and that makes Telegram a target.
They can’t go after the likes of Signal because they have very little to go on in the first place. They can’t say definitively what’s happening there as they can’t see any messages. Unlike Telegram.
It’s not a conspiracy that Signal are compromised, so they’re being ignored. They’re being ignored because there’s nothing to see, so governments might as well spend resources going after the apps where information is visible instead. At least they might get a result. E2EE apps are too difficult.
Signal only delivers a promise that their E2EE will be enough to make the information govts get useless.
Signal do more than just a promise. Their encryption techniques are available to see. You can confirm if it’s enough protection for you or not. Telegram are the ones making a promise. I’m not saying they’ve broken their promise (as evidenced by the arrest).
But it is just a promise when Telegram still has the ability to see messages. Signal can’t see messages and therefore don’t have to rely on a promise that can be broken (willingly or not). They instead rely on encryption, which appears to be far stronger than any promise could be.
For all we know, this is performative and the French government already has access to Telegram’s servers and can see everything. If they have access to Signal’s, oh well, they can’t see shit.

Which part of the US 🇺🇸 is Austria 🇦🇹 in?
Absolutely authoritarian.
Education campaigns are far more effective with far less pushback than draconian bans. Let people choose for themselves.
I remember constant campaigns in the past trying to convince the public of the ills of smoking, and it (slowly) appeared to be working. Then vaping came along, and instead of continuing the education campaigns, the health departments tactics seemed to change to “take up vaping, it’s better than smoking”.
And now, it may just be anecdotal, but smoking appears to me at least, to be on the rise again. I wonder why?
LABOUR rail minister threatened a company with severe financial and reputational damage if they didn’t fire one engineer for doing his job. It’s great to see New New Labour being so pro-worker…
Surely you can’t be advocating for for-profit private companies to pay for their own mess? What would the shareholders think?
How are we supposed to continue to create wealth for those who don’t need any more wealth if we demand they use their own ill gotten gains to clean up their mess?
That doesn’t make any sense at all!

Energy costs many times what it did too
Perhaps for the consumer, not for the energy providers
What costs more? Gas or wind? Oil or solar? Coal or wave?
There’s a premium charged for new technology, sure. To cover R&D costs, new tooling, etc, but once the machinery is made, the fuel is essentially free. The wind blows itself, the sun has its own fuel, the tides move freely
Energy arbitrarily costs more because those that sell it have decided it costs more. Aka corporate greed, which is what this post is complaining about in the first.
What a strange story. First, they call the middle of Lidl infamous, not famous. What’s infamous about it?
Second, they do a mass product recall because of one complaint? They claim the product has had stringent testing and has sold for years in Europe without issue, but they recall it due to one complaint?
If the complaint is legitimate, then this is a good thing, but I just can’t wrap my head around their claim of stringent testing and crumbling at the merest mention of an issue. I also don’t understand what the issue with the igloos really is, they appear no less dangerous than a fence or hedge
It is when you’re trying to run a pyramid scheme. How else are those at the top expected to stay there if they don’t have a large foundation of exploitable young minds?
You mean those eco-TERRORISTS?!
They’re a threat to our nation wealth, with their desire to make life better, bastards, they should be the last to come out!

Boris Johnson? The ex ex ex Prime Minister? This is one very stale meme
“A group of four of us around level 80”
Level 50 was the original maximum. You’ve completed the game. Presumably by now you’ve unlocked everything, of course it’s easier. Try starting from level 1 again and see how you feel.
