for speedtest, fast.com is pretty great as it's a pretty lightweight page and uses netflix's servers which mean it's not really possible for ISPs to game it

Libertarian ≠ capitalist... It's just a diet version of anarchism at its core which hustlers are trying to rebrand as being purely pro-business.

There's even Libertarian Socialism

Why would the Taliban want to shoot down a plane? They're not terrorists like IS or Al-Qaeda and they're not antsy enough to shoot down a plane first and think later like Iran are, nor is it an active warzone... They just want to commit human rights violations in peace and shooting down a plane is a golden ticket to foreign intervention.

it means "been found out" or "exposed"

Hey, you don't even need to be a part of [Input Empire Here], you can just be a Hitler megafan and change your time zone to impress Senpai (ahem, Spain)

It's normal for most afaik but that's because manufacturers make a trimmed down phone to go on your wrist which means you have to charge it daily, without realising it's on your wrist so it doesn't need to be super slim with huge cuts to battery size to go in your pocket.

My garmin has an always on display, heart rate, steps, blood oxygen, thermometer, barometer and whatever else and yet still manages a 4 week battery life, 3 weeks with normal use (1h gps per day, using the touchscreen and higher brightness) or even around 50-60h of GPS/more frequent heart rate/active maps activity tracking

It's on 7% now and is giving me an estimated battery life of >2 days, which just shows how abysmal many smart watch battery lives are

I'm saying I have no sympathy for Palestinians who can't sympathise with other people who were forced from their homes, or Israelis who can't do the same. They are free to dislike the IDF, but using them as an excuse to hate Jews and/or Israelis is no better than the people who hate all Palestinians and/or Arabs masking or justifying it with their hatred of Hamas.

I mean if you go back 300 years, but then if you go back 1000-1300 then most of England & Scotland starts to look pretty German (Anglo-Saxons, Norse), with England getting significant French & Scandinavian (Norman = French Norse) influence after and tenuously Austrian (Celts) before that... The native British people were completely wiped out at least twice before that, so frankly all sorts of European nations *could* have a claim if Putin rules applied

Spotify take a standard cut?

It's record labels that are scamming small artists, and frankly spotify offer a better chance for them to go independent than having to rely on connections to get radio play so someone will buy their music

The dictionary definition is "Anything twisted, winding, or spiral." but an inference can be made

I don't think that lemmy's principles are left leaning at all... Sure they're anti-authoritarian but being anti-authoritarian doesn't mean you're a leftist - ~~George Orwell characterises this really well~~ (mb)

I stopped going for a while to one because they put the multipack crisps on the other side of the store to the larger bags though as I thought they'd just stopped stocking them

It's all well and good rotating things around but don't put stuff in nonsensical places
