If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.

It being small might be part of the problem. Reddit has more money to fight legal battles than lemmy.world

Everytime this comes up I think about that Trump supporter who was married to an illegal immigrant and was shocked her husband got deported.

The real problem is that these people get away with it. There are no consequences to their actions. If no one is going to hold them accountable then it's not just a belief they have, they really are above the law.

I know a number of people who thought the Wii U was an attachment for the Wii and not a separate console so you might be right about the name.

I wonder why e-scooters are banned on Scotland

I imagine what they're trying to contain are angry Puerto Ricans living in the US from going out and voting. The higher the voter turnout is, the greater the chance of Harris winning. Making Democrats angry enough to actually go out and vote is definitely something the Republicans want to contain.

That's how I always felt about it. As long as I get paid, I don't care what they do with the software.

Not sure when things changed but all I know is that when I bought mine years ago the Kobo site redirected me to Walmart and that's where I had to buy it. My e-reader even displays the Walmart logo on it when I power it off.

Kobo was sold exclusively through Walmart in the US (at least when I bought my Kobo). I think they recently ended the partnership.

I've always felt that we support Israel for the same reason we support Ukraine. They're a friendly military force located in a region of the world where we have enemies. Ukraine helps counter Russia and the same for Israel during the Soviet Union era. Now Israel is a counter to Iran and various terrorist groups.

"It doesn't really replace proper journalism though"

Yeah, that's an even bigger problem that doesn't really have much of a solution. Things like Fediverse might allow for the distribution of news outside the control of corporations but it doesn't help in actually getting access to unbiased journalism.

I picked up some new teas from a shop while on vacation and this one was pretty good. I like teas with lavender in them but I find that it's sometimes overpowering. This one had the lavender taste without it overwhelming the other flavors.

Edit: I tried to upload a picture but it wouldn't let me so I used a link to the one of the pictures on the site.

Just in case anyone is interested, Humble Bundle has a Tad Williams bundle containing 21 ebooks for $18. The offer ends in about 1.5 days. The ebooks come through kobo.com so you would require an account with kobo to redeem the ebooks.

I know there's a whole ethics thing revolving around the use of AI but I still find this sort of stuff to be amazing.

 

I've gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I've been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.

I just tried this tea and it was very good. I'm not a big fan of cherries but I have been drinking it almost every day and like it more than the Cinnamon Black Tea I bought at the same time.
