Agreed, although I’d posit that we were able to get the strong social safety thanks in large part to the multi-party democracy. But otherwise, yes, agreed on all counts.

In the EU, but my point is that the scale is way different. I’m in the Netherlands, and the far-right resurgence here is still being kept in check to some extent by the other parties. I shudder to think what would happen if they could do what they want just because they’re the largest, but they can’t.

Damn jongleurs!

(But thanks for teaching me something today!)

I’m not so sure. I’m from a multi-party democracy, and while the ultra-rich (or, well, mega-rich I suppose - the US’s ultra-rich are at a different level I think) certainly have their interests catered to, I feel like on balance the scales are tipped to their benefit to a way smaller extent, largely thanks to the multi-party system.

Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

Oh yeah, I mean, obviously, no contention there.

Who the hell called that a recorder btw? As not-a-native-speaker, the first time I heard that term I was super confused, thinking they were talking about a tape recorder.

Knowing basically nothing about anything that’s relevant here, so pardon any ignorance, but it does sound to me like anything that moves the US towards a true multi-party system would be a pretty fundamental change?

“Taking” blood does give it another extra sinister tinge over what’s actually happening.

Might be worth reporting a bug against the Snap version? I think there’s usually a “Report a bug” menu entry under “Help” in the menu?

Wor-chess-ter-shy-'r.

Unrelated because it’s a different problem, but if a website actually disables your right-click, try holding Shift while right-clicking.

Ah I was just wondering, been a while since LWD tried to stir up some Mozilla-related controversy.

I wish they weren’t needed, but I can see why they help. I don’t quite get why anyone would pay for it though - from the ones I’ve seen so far, I’m having a hard time imagining how they would lead to a transaction occurring. Though for name recognition it probably helps.

As an aside, it’s nice that you can just turn them off. Where do you see that nowadays?

Yeah I mean, if people were filing restraining orders against me, I’d certainly take that as a red flag to avoid them 😅

There’s like a 30-year span of 90s kids.

From the point of view of that girl you’re a red flag anyway. But “a menace” works too.

I knew it! Once I suggested this to someone assuming they’re, like me, not a native speaker, and got downvoted to hell. Turned out I was too woke.

I think I’m getting it, I’m just trying to say that I think you’re underestimating how hard it is to fund web browser development.
