Migrants are showing up at the U.S. Southern border in historic numbers. Here's why in c/news@lemmy.world

Always struck me as a tad silly that conservatives are simultaneously hardcore against immigration but also don’t give a shit about climate change. Those guys sure are a heap of cognitive dissonance.

Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Gotcha so to satisfy your elitist bullshit I need to run a dual boot machine and switch back and forth between OSes for work and not work.

Some people live in a world where they have jobs to do and the software they do it with is on one or the other but definitely not Linux.

Yeah the amount of media consolidation we have right now is an a huge problem and it just keeps getting worse.

I'd wager a good portion of Americans would rather literally go to war with other Americans than deploy to some foreign conflict.

They had me as a paying customer when the Premium Light tier was a thing and just offered ad free viewing at a reasonable price. Then they got rid of that plan at the very same time they rolled out this mission to beat ad blocking plugins. That's bad faith right there. My choice now is to get a plan at at least 50% more a month with added extra crap I didn't ask for and would never use (music, etc).

So I'm not their customer anymore.

These companies clearly won't be satisfied and I'm sure a ton of their customers will just keep forking over more and more money for worse and worse service, but I'm done. I'm pulling up stakes on all streaming video platforms. Good luck to them I guess.

Here in the Netherlands a ton of businesses use WhatsApp. You see it listed as a primary contact method on stationary, signs, vehicles, advertisements, etc all the time here.
