Down voted for the link to a paywall article.

Is Lemmy going to be one of the only places we can go to get uncensored content? Even the mainstream UK and US news outlets are filtering things.

The usability on that website is a disaster. Makes me leave the page immediately.

I remember there used to be an option like this on the Reddit app..

On a post that contains a particular content type you could filter to show just that content type of posts.

On posts with a photo hit a filter option to show only posts that have a photo.

On posts with a video, hit the filter option and you can see just posts with a video.

I think there were options for the format where posts just contained text also.

The filter was available directly from the options on the post.

Is this a feature in Boost already?

What is the gdpr reason this website is not available to users in Europe?

Councils are going bankrupt because they can't even run their own business. Letting them be landlords also is a recipe for disaster.

Microsoft pushed msn messenger as a default in windows... Autostarted the app on login, made a million popups asking people to use it.. People stared using it. Usual story.

And don't forget about the people who are charging their full EV cars between midnight and 4am on the excess night time renewables from wind and tidal power to help drive the downturn in fossil usage. Champions 🏆

Just wanted to drop a quick message in to say thank you to those who put in the news articles here... I was getting frustrated with the poor journalism across different mainstream news and really appreciate your efforts summarising everything here.

I felt like just a stat for websites like BBC news clicking up views to then guide them on what news stories to focus on publishing, and what to not publish... First world censorship at its finest. At least now I can just read the content here.

The autotldr bot also saves a lot of time from having to read extra non-value text that journalists pump in to make stories longer.

I do wonder what happens if feddituk is shutting down, hopefully this community and these news articles continue... I'd hate to have to actually go to the BBC news site again 😳

Thank you to you and all those growing Lemmy 🙏 2024... the year of everyone migrating to Lemmy.

This sign-up pain is real. There should be a global standard that says everyone can use a contactless debit or credit card to pay ALWAYS, and the cost rate is the same as signing up to an account.

Let's get the next debate going and standardise on either a 2 pin euro or 3 pin UK socket now 😂

This does sound like a good suggestion. Controlling social media and consumption of screen time is no bad thing if you are aware of it's issues.
