@PINE64 @aral

I was inspired to write this reply on Twitter by what you said yesterday

Granted I just converted $ to £ so probably not taking in to account vat which I think is still at 5% anyway.

@techreview
Not seen any suggestions of that here (referring there to the Fediverse), says a lot about mainstream media and social media perhaps.

Excellent , very engaging and diverse people lead to better conversations and more informed ideas being shared.

Thanks, the writefreely one sounds most useful. I will add both. :)

The FCC introduced the Fairness Doctrine in 1949, requiring broadcasters to present both sides of controversial issues. In 1987, during the Reagan administration, the rule was eliminated. Within a year Rush Limbaugh was on the air. From that point on, it is pretty much a straight line to the media landscape we have today.

The pro-Trump media world peddled the lies that fueled the Capitol mob. Fox News led the way. -

@tom_nomad I really hope so, and then hope that change filters over here to the UK and the EU

@zleap
I think we can definitively say the same thing about the entirety of the last 4 years.

The various crises, from COVID to politics to the economy, are all being laid bare, and the reformist approaches that have been used to try to eliminate this in the past have been shown to have failed.

There is a lot of work to be done still, but, if done correctly, these last 4 years could lead to profound changes in the ways we organize ourselves and relate to one another socially and politically.

I try and use Firefox where possible, sites such as Scratch need something called WebGL which does not seem to work in Firefox, chrome just works with Scratch.

Not that I use Scratch much but I kinda need it for Code Club when we get back to it (if ever)

@fcktheworld587 How do we in the free software world compete against this ?

Apparently the reason the cops didn’t do shit at the US Capitol is because after the BLM marches in June the DC police adopted new regulations to not violently engage with protesters. Some are all like “if it was black people it would have been very different!” yet it’s BECAUSE of BLM that the police stood down. The rules work both ways. Also, I feel like this is pretty important information… that very few people are mentioning.

Did you know that after clean water, vaccination is the most effective public health intervention in the world?

save lives. It's vital that everyone eligible gets vaccinated.

@tom_nomad So despite all the hatred, negativity over the last 4 years, there could be a huge amount of 'good' stuff that comes as a result of Donald Trump being in power for 4 years.

Just not in the way he would expect as it stops others doing the same (well hopefully) or even getting to that position in the first place.
