Strong disagree. If the cornerstone of your candidacy is “I’m not the other guy” then you’ve lost already

Did Tencent actually collaborate with SD or was it Epic?

I’m from France. Getting a rifle is pretty easy, you “just” have to get a psych evaluation and a shooting club registration / hunting license. But that gets you long, manual weapons with small magazines. You can keep the gun if your license expires.

Then you can get a stronger license if your shooting club vets for you. This allows you to get handguns and semi auto rifles.

Any auto gun or explosive is basically only authorized for use for the military.

Oh and anything that can be used as a weapon is prohibited from being carried around in public spaces (yes, it is that vague), and protective equipment is subject to authorization as well (gas masks, bulletproof vests etc)

You can read more on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_France

Edit: Wikipedia does not seem to explain it, but A class weapons are basically military only. B class is what you get through shooting club vetting. C class is for anyone registered by a club / hunting license. D is adults only, with exceptions for criminals etc

My existence is not a political statement.

They’ve not fallen in perception to those whose medical opinion matters

Yes and it is being thoroughly investigated, as it should be. But so far nothing has been found, so sensationalism is only detrimental as:

• it takes away focus from materials that have actually been found to be harmful
• puts public pressure on researchers, and if they don’t find something quick it might be the end of the whole field, and then they might have difficulties funding research on future polymers
• builds up anxiety about something we can’t do anything about (the plastics are there and they’re here to stay for a while)

Stop the fear mongering

Acshually Jezz Befos personally hand delivered every Amazon delivery until 2018, it’s single mothers getting government aid who are the leeches

True but still funny

Oh no doubt about that. And I really hope other apps do catch up, having one “best app” isn’t super healthy

That’s exactly it

I love to learn about how Romans lived their lives. Some stories are so aloof from our perspective, as if from some alien world

Not open source, payment if you don’t want ads. Valid criticisms, but it’s still the best app UX wise, by far, so the blame is not on the users, it’s on open source projects to do better

troll bots

Lemmy really is becoming reddit lmao, are these bots in the room with us right now?

You’re not paying for the API, you’re paying for the dev time.

That’s true but then it’s a story about companies being deceitful and not Le Evil China creating a confusing mark to trick people

My response is a link though, to an article explaining the situation

That’s a myth tho

Mom I’d like to frog

Do you have a post clarifying how uBlock got prepared? I can’t seem to find anything
