Don’t. If the sport teams want to reach you, they gotta do it another way.

It’s both.

There’s no russophobia when that country would want you killed for opposing authoritarianism. Or when that country routinely invades Europe. Or when it shoots down a plane and doesn’t apologise nor extradite the criminals who did it (Girkin and Putler).

Or when it opposes your very existence as a person. Or when it infects your people with the disease of far-right hatred. And I could go on. Fuck Putler’s Russia.

It won’t become an alternative if we don’t move. I think PeerTube can actually work regarding monetisation - having a decentralised Patreon alternative would help along, for example.

Vimeo is alright, but it’s US-based. I don’t trust far-right censorship to not creep up there.

Odysee is good design-wise, but it’s full of hatred. Also, situated in the US.

Bandcamp, also situated in the US. No thanks.

I mean, there’s Patreon, but that’s American. It’s in San Francisco in California though, which is at least not Trumpland. But with how things are headed, I’d be cautious.

Liberapay exists, but it uses Paypal, which is even scummier than Visa and Mastercard. Uses Stripe too, which is Irish-American (HQ in both countries).

If there’s a FOSS decentralised* Patreon alternative that would support Wero, cash, and Monero, I could foreseee that having a ton of potential.

* with the HQ of development or whatever being in a country that’s resistant against censorship.

Thanks Youtube, once more showing why Peertube is better!

The fact that it’s creepy that AI decides for us how to make our videos. It’s spyware.

Indeed. The entire wage system should be replaced by a system centered around human needs, such as in a gift economy.

It is in fact, a matter of the government.

Steve Reed can do something about it.

Sharing it with everyone is, though. It helps! Chances are a European will hear about it.

Ew, spyware. This def violates GDPR

Never attribute to incompetence that which can also be attributed to malice.

Hmm, I don’t know your situation, but if you’re living in Switzerland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, or Iceland, I honestly would just recommend staying there.

If it’s in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, or Bosnia, then yeah, fair. But I thought none of those had good privacy laws?

Can’t imagine Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, or Turkey have good privacy laws. And certainly not any of the North African countries…

If Thiel’s mafia organisation (I refuse to call that scrap by desecrating sir Tolkien’s works’ names) has a deal with the NHS, then that should be ended ASAP. Fuck that, that’s some serious spying.

Capitalism is shit, and there are things where it especially NEVER, EVER should have any access, power or influence, directly or indirectly:

• Health services
• Parliaments, committees, assemblies
• Nature
• Housing
• Water and food
• National security

I wouldn’t take it up, honestly. Best to go for somewhere in the EU instead.

The UK is a US puppet state, and pretty much showing it.

It’s indeed ridiculous. At some point I had no internet access, no playboy, no drawing stuff. So, anyway, I just used my good ol’ imagination.

They always seek to control that which is natural: the urge to have a happy life, with pleasure.

They could better spend their time combatting the corruption within the Tories and Labour, and actually putting up a proportional representation system. Or yet better, workplace democracy for all. People can follow a leader if they want, but it’s nice if everyone else also can live as they want.

If they cared about kids, I think it’s better to educate them about how to navigate the internet safely. Prohibiting the internet for kids is one thing, but imo it’s a bandaid fix for bad parenting.

Better to tell them “never give away your real name, address, or age”, and “never ask for the same of someone else”. And that when they see something awful, it’s best to talk with their parents about it. Kids need to grow up safely, yes, but they should also be independent, not boxed in by helicopter parents.

When I was younger, I was often on the internet and mostly just visited the safe sites. Occassionally I saw the one off scary site but I knew to avoid it later then, or talked about it irl with friends and family.

So they prefer to spy on what their kids are doing? Bah, those ministers are nonce creeps.

The hats aren’t even of good quality. Most rip apart easily. Chinese-made hats are better than that.

Also overpriced. I saw them for $15… seriously? In my country I can get better quality ones for €5.
