Tory governments regularly ignore expert advice, even when they have commissioned that advice. Look into immigration and drugs policy in the UK and you will find the government often does the opposite of what experts advise them to do. It’s one of the ways you know they have an agenda other than “doing the right thing” or even “doing what is best for the country”.

Linus has done a lot for him, that is probably the main thing.

Stellaris with the New Civilisations mod, mostly. Currently playing as the Dominion. Just declared war on the Borg before I turned in last night. Very fun.

Other than that, a little bit of Dying Light 2 for that zombie decapitation satisfaction.

Some drama is just down to their politics (authoritarian Marxist Leninist in the main), and some relating to their moderation based on politics (bans for users posting articles critical of China, allegedly). You should be able to search and find recent treads, here is one I still had a tab open from yesterday:

Another part of this is people’s concerns about whether their politics influences their development of Lemmy.

Could mean nothing but it’s a bad look to be having talks under NDA. We’ll see how it turns out but I’m glad I never got invested in using Mastodon.

This is the one for me. I just checked and I’ve been using the premium version since May 2016 and it cost me £2.50. Only issue I’ve had in that time is the web player was failing to buffer episodes for streaming, but that has since resolved for me.

Yes, I’ve been using this for a while on my work computer with win11, neat little feature.

The last time I downloaded Linux mint to give it a try was the day before they announced the ISO from the official site had been injected with malicious code. Bad timing for my interest in using Linux, lol.

That sounds pretty good! I wish you luck. Hopefully, more of your community will be up for migrating over time or during whatever the next incident is.

Nobody for butter and jam? Or a bit of honey? I likes 'em sweet usually. I sometimes go for mustard and cheese, then grilled.

A red wine which is hopefully decent. I had to text and ask him though as I never really know what he would want, and I know he doesn’t care much about the holiday. I’ve not been the best in terms of making the effort to see him lately so popping round for a bit of lunch today to drop it off.

Do you have any plans to start redirecting users to your new spot, while keeping the subreddit open?

Ugh, yes, it’s unfortunate that popularity ruined so many subs. We’ve all watched a tonne of them turn into generic repost mills over the years.
