They didn't though.

He became PM through an internal Tory vote for a leader, after the previous PM stepped down. She became leader in exactly the same way and had only lasted a seven weeks since her predecessor was forced to quit.

The Tories are truly awful, and their choice of leaders has shown that.

It's listed on their official update video so it does exist. But it says "on compatible devices and countries" so might only be on the newest phones so far?

'Murica isn't the center of the world, numbnuts. And neither are you.

I worked in customer support for a car rental company when I was in my late teens in Ireland. An angry English woman called cause she had some minor issue. She ended up going on a rant saying "I specifically asked to not be given one of these foreign cars. Can't you give me something British, like a Vauxhall?"

I checked her account and could see she was driving an Opel Astra. She wouldn't believe me Vauxhall and Opel were the same brand.

I'm not even going to go into her referring to things as foreign while she was literally in a foreign country...

Is that you, Reagan?

The comments point you make is a really great one. I was the same on Reddit, never engaging on something because by the time it appeared in my feed, it would be thousands of comments deep. Everything that needed to be said had been said.

But on Lemmy, it's much easier to jump in and actually have a conversation.

I switched over when it was announced Sync for Reddit was closing, but became much more active when Sync for Lemmy arrived due to it being an interface I had been familiar with for a decade. But the move came at a time where I was taking steps to reduce my empty consumption too, deleting social accounts and replacing them with books and newspaper subscriptions. The lower content count on Lemmy is perfect for that as it means I still get great stuff in my feed, but it's not really possible to scroll forever. Instead I now open a newspaper app, use Pocket to read an article I've saved or pick up my book on the Kindle app. I'm generally just consuming much better quality media due to much fewer distractions.

Strongly recommend this too. It's takes a minute to get used to but once you do, it feels very natural.

The article summariser is such a fantastic addition!

There's a pretty big difference in having something on display as part of a set in a video about issues at another outlet, and calling out a link to a product to be purchased in what is supposed to be an apology video by said outlet. LMG also originally had this video monetised and had links to their store and products in the description before finally removing those. GN did none of this because they understood the seriousness of what they were doing - they even called out that the video wouldn't be monetised at the start of it.

I get the point you're trying to make, but it's a bad one.

I'm an immigrant in the UK and the country keeps giving me more and more reasons to leave. It's turned into an absolute xenophobic hellhole in the last few years.

Yeah, I, as a queer person who grew up in a Catholic country, always felt very welcome

Hard to describe how good it feels to have Sync back! Was worried the tablet experience would be left behind but it's as smooth as ever. Thank you LJ! Instant subscription, absolutely no hesitation on that one.
