For the most part, I think, yes. However, there was a compromise between the English and the French living there, IIRC, instead of a war.

I think you’re probably right, but I do worry about any violence that would ensue . . .

Watch this.

EDIT: But now I’m finally going to get around to asking this: do any of you, living in the US, vote?

Would you ever consider voting DSA/Socially democratic, even if your views are to the left of them and you are anti-capitalist? What if voting for the PSL is not an option where you are? Would you ever vote for someone like Trump just to make things intentionally worse in the hopes of sparking off a revolution? Not sure if I will ever vote again at this point…

Can the IMDb be scraped? Not necessarily for the reviews, but for the titles, actors, and so forth. Kind of wish Anna’s Archive had done that instead of Spotify.

Alas yes. 🙁

There’s an invidious-type equivalent for imdb, libremd, but it unfortunately tends to break and may not have been updated in a while.

EDIT: You can try and see if there are any instances of it that still work.

EDIT EDIT: Couldn’t get a single instance to work. I think the project might need someone new to take it over.

I use Signal as my camera and as a note-taking app.

Excellent! Thank you! 🙂

Haven’t encountered this yet, has it been let loose in the wild?

@yogthos@lemmy.ml, since you’re our resident China expert, I thought I’d ask: do you know if any of the PRC’s companies are working on (or have even already solved!) the “plastics problem?” With regard to pollution, recycling, etc. I do remember their National Sword policy…🤔

Note that some apps will say that they won’t work without GPS, but actually will if you give it a try.

This is great! And it’s been around since June of last year! How did I miss this? Think it might be because I should’ve searched for “block” rather than “tetris” on F-Droid.

How many points of identification are needed to positively ID you? Something like 35 IIRC according to Cover Your Tracks/EFF? Might be remembering wrong 🤔

Some children are drawing on fake moustaches to bypass online age checks, report finds

I see, apparently it doesn’t like my VPN, never mind . . .

(I’m open to criticism of this list, if anyone has any issues with any of the periodicals here. TTBOMK they’ve been pretty good, and I usually check them once a day or so).

Intentionally bad or unintentionally bad?

Shitfucker

Agreed! I won’t consider donating to them until they drop it.

You may want to read Why not Signal?, but I still use it.
