He didn’t. He said people who parrot it are.
Unless you do, there is no reason to be offended. Up to you.
And no; realistically, if you lose Visa and Mastercard, you can close shop. Obviously it’s for profit, because a 99% reduction in turnover means all employees out of work.
Yes, I took that number out of thin air, but I know most people would never bother as that is what they have.
Maybe it’s different in your country.
Mine too!
Still local, small time with a few thousand customers. They don’t upcharge internet prices if you skip linear TV.
All emplyees are local and I see them drive around.
I don’t care how good your pitch is, Mr. Salesman at my door: I’m sticking with what I’ve got!
Am European, but not in the EU.
Wish I could do my part too
I think “shower before you start stinking” is a decent rule to live by
We don’t. He’s full of shit.
The right (FRP) is on a hard decline atm, allmost back behind Høyre. People tend to think a bit more before voting than when answering a random questionaire.
Great comeback when being called out on spreading horseshit, mate.
Please read up on the current state of Norwegian politics before sharing any more of your interesting “knowledge”.
18-29 year olds being populist is most certainly not tearing the country to shreds.
The latest polls have AP back on top. Currently, neither centre right or centre left have a clear win.
We’ll see what happens come September
Never played the game and probably never will, but I wanted to say this anyways: stay awesome!
It’s people like you, who do stuff out of passion and not monetary gain, that made the internet so great.
I try to stay out of American politics because I get that my views are probably skewed being in Europe, but I do see his approval ratings close to and sometimes above 50% on certain areas.
Without telling you what to do about it, I must admit it scares me to think that there are millions of people agreeing with what he’s doing. It feels like the US is a preassure cooker only just getting started, slowly inching towards a disastrous explosion.
What are the realistic potential outcomes of everything going on?
Yeah this mirrors my approach to it.
People can like Trump/Musk or dream of Marxism in practice. I am so far from both ideologies that I find it difficult to relate to either, and end up being called a traitor by the left and a triggered lib/loser by the right. Lemmy is in my experience quite left.
The political differences have become so extreme that I just avoid any debate at all and stick to the technical stuff and hobbies. My sanity is more important to me than trying to convince someone over the pond that they are wrong.
Honestly, I just try to live my life as the best person I can be. I’ve gotten to old to try to change anyone else. And I have had some great encounters here, so I am not going back to Reddit anytime soon.
Stay awesome, people!
Honestly mate, I am not a tankie or even politically left in my country, but when looking at the insane results for these enormous companies and the ever increasing greed with ads/price hikes, I’ve just had enough.
I know it’s not morally right to steal, but I refuse to support companies like Alphabet paying their CEO 200+ million a year. If they manage to block me out when skirting their ads, then I’ll find something else to spend my time on.
So you’re right, I just don’t care anymore.
I do pay for Nebula though!
Mostly because I figured you needed more help than a link to some guide, which I assumed you must have already attempted before asking here.
I see where your reply is coming from, but what I did might not be at all relevant to your case, depending on your setup. That’s why there are specific guides for different use-cases.
Best of luck mate.
I have it all via Docker.
Let me know if you need some pointers mate.
Sure, it was only meant as a way to circumvent ads on the TV
You could also use Chromecast with SmartTube. Works like a charm. Let me know if you need help with it.
No, again, he said anyone that parrots it. If you keep repeating that argument over and over, then your are parroting it. That’s what parrots do; they repeat stuff.
If you are offended, then it’s time for some self reflection. That is not an ad-hominem, but a blanket statement and opinion.
And no, you’re being selective with the truth. You cherry pick bits of what he said to present your argument in a better light. I don’t entertain that, my friend.
Your last point is true, but again you are being selective with how you present it.
If I point a gun at you and say you die unless you do something against your personal morality, you’d most likely still do it. That is in the name of survival.
Yeah, you’ll be able to go to work tomorrow and make money because you’re not dead, but nobody can accuse you of doing it for profit. That is what you are in essence doing here and it’s a bad take in every possible way except morally.
Steam fought back and lost. They could morally tell Visa and MasterCard to pound sand and die with their heads held high, but I’m guessing they like you as my potential murder victim above, chose to keep existing instead.
