It’s silly that they don’t just operate from the browser. It’s how I use Patreon on my (admittedly not iPhone) Phone.
They should have just pulled Patreon from the app store.
It’s not like it’s such an impediment to ask users to use their browser.
In an ideal world we would not have monopolies controlling app stores, but I think Patreon is really stupid for not just abandoning the app store.
This seems insane to me. You cannot latch the handle to continue dispensing, without actively holding it in Australia (and I imagine most countries?)
Seems insane because it’s removing a layer of protection (you, noticing the automatic shut off mechanism isn’t working) for barely any benefit.
Though, I don’t know the statistics on how much this contributes to extra spills or fires.
Indeed, lol is not the same as haha
It’s more of a sarcastic vibe. Which fits, because you are definitely not laughing out loud when you write lol
Uppercase LOL feels like a haha fuck them kind of schadenfreude laugh to me.
Perhaps LOL is a softer version of HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, which I use to the same effect.
What country? In many, this is straight up false advertising and you’re entitled to a refund.

I was gonna make this same comment.
Cold drip though? That’s some finicky shit. Not worth the effort in my opinion (but is fun!)
I stand corrected, forgot about that detail!
Holy balls.
Really hoping the Americans realise they need to rise up like yesterday. The world is so screwed. The US is far, FAR more militarily powerful than Nazi Germany ever was.
:(
This whole comment is strawmanning me.
Do you understand the difference between De Jure and De Facto?
Yes.
Taiwan is de jure a part of China but it is a de facto an independent country. China has an authoritarian government that gets butt hurt over every little thing. So the One China policy is all about them “saving face”.
Yes, but more accurately, the official government position in Taiwan, that there is one China and they’re the legitimate government, is a historical hangover. The One China policy from the mainland is also a historical hangover, difference is that because they have the bigger stick now, they reckon they can take over, by force or political/economic coercion.
I don’t disagree with you that the mainland government is authoritarian.
Maybe read up on strategic ambiguity as well if you want to be more knowledgeable about the subject.
You’re really just reading what you want to read to be able to call me an idiot. I am aware of what this is, and didn’t mention it in my comment because the original comment was specifically about Taiwanese claims on mainland China. Not writing a holistic comment on everything.
TLDR, Taiwan is a country. A lot of diplomacy is about piling on layers upon layers of bullshit, because bullshit is preferable to war. But unless you’re working for a country as a diplomat, there’s no need for bullshit… Taiwan is a country
This is the reason you’ve strawmanned me, because you’re ready to fight with anyone who says it’s not a country which I never said. I tend to agree that Taiwan is a country. It’s got its own government, and its own territory and existed that way for decades. But that’s just my opinion, and because of history the status IS UNDETERMINED because part of the current definition of being a country is that other COUNTRIES recognise you as a country. Again, I also believe it functions de facto as it’s own country - don’t get triggered.
The people in Taiwan have far more democratic freedom than in the mainland (in my view) - well, with the caveat is that capitalism is inherently undemocratic.
All I originally said was that the official ROC government position is that there is one China, and Taiwan is part of China, that the government in Taiwan claims to be the legitimate government of. This is a statement of fact, not my opinion…
That, and that OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE THERE VARY. Trying to paint them as a monolith is propaganda.
Yikes… Please chill before you decide to strawman someone who isn’t even arguing against you.
What? Could you link me the quote for that. 100 million? Surely this can’t be a number they said.
There is no way 1/3 of the population are there illegally (their justification for removing them), right?
May the multiverse gods have mercy on our timeline…
I think you’re showing your lack of knowledge on the subject with this comment.
It’s well-known that both governments claim sovereignty over all of China, and both include Taiwan as part of that. Just this is claimed less strongly when the KMT aren’t in power.
Many people on the island want the status quo, or independence, but others also want some form of reunification. Opinions are varied.
The official position still is that there is one China. (The government in Taiwan even claims the 9 dash line in the south China sea lol)
Apologies for that. Unless a mod asks me to remove I’m gonna leave it for now
Which government? Makes a big difference since some other better than others.
I’m not saying OOP definitely had no legitimate reason to change the sign, but without knowing, we can’t assume they did either.
The fact they made no mention of it, leads me to suspect it was mostly for their personal convenience.
Also, government = inefficient is some neo-lib propaganda I can’t tolerate. Any organisation can be inefficient (so, so, so many examples of this in the private sector), and governments can and must be set up to be well-run. The alternative is the privatised neo-lib hellscape we (countries in general) continue to not fix.
Difference here is that he was correctly a clear mistake. OOP here did it for their own selfish reasons
We have no idea why the sign was the way it was. They gave us no background. So I’m biased against the sign changer until given a good argument as to why it was acceptable.
This is how I feel about OOP and people thinking it’s hilarious how they messed with the sign.
I just see another entitled car brain who thinks they should be allowed to do whatever they like.
Just the most convenient link as an overview. As far as I can tell the page itself is fairly neutral (other than the criticism section).
Though, happy to hear your perspective of how Stalin’s and Mao’s versions of Marxism–Leninism was democratic.
From many people’s perspective, it definitely was not. And there is no socialism without democratic control by the workers (all of them), in my view anyway.
What account? I don’t see it in any of your modlogs
After checking, either mod logs have changed since it happened to me (it was a decent while ago), or I have fabricated a memory. Perhaps I saw this as a reason when looking through the mod logs of a specific community once. In any case, yeah, it doesn’t exist in my modlogs.
They are pretty heavy with the censorship if you’re pro palestine from what I’ve found.
Haven’t noticed this, yet, though could be because how heavily it’s censored. I mostly engage with that topic on aussie.zone, so this may be why I haven’t noticed.
As a anarchist I have plenty of reservations about both the USSR and China. In terms of internet communities I personally find ML spaces much less annoying than social democrat dominated spaces.
Fair enough, though MLs (the ones I’ve argued with) seem to defend practically everything about them, which is frustrating.
The people who seem to have problems with lemmy.ml:
Lemmy.World censors a bit, when it comes to calls for violence against rich people (though seem to have chilled recently), which is a bit annoying, but I’ve had multiple comments removed as “reactionary” from .ml.
.ml mods (not all) seem to be very sensitive and very comment removal and ban happy
I’ve seen many normal sounding users on lemmy.ml, but the reputation is not undeserved because there are many MLs on there also.
You can bet your ass foreign spy agencies are laughing their arses off about this as they track whatever targets they like
Fault based divorce is already a stupid concept (under the law).
Someone MAY be at fault, but you should never need to provide a reason beyond “I don’t want to anymore” to commence divorce proceedings.
Marriage is just legal protections for the partners in the event of a separation (i.e. rights to split assets and whatnot).
But it’s still entirely voluntary.
Well, in nice countries anyway.
