Definitely known. If you do any of the Instagram Reels/TikTok style of scrolling videos, you’d come across him fairly often. I have always been a raging lefty in almost every category but I still saw his debates quite often. They were kind of pushed by the algorithm as ragebait because the things he said were so ludicrous and his arguments were very weak but he was so confident about them.

4·4 days agoWell, no. It’s because Linux has never tried to appeal to casual users. Even if you download something like Ubuntu, you still have to jump through hoops sometimes to install things. People are turned off by using command lines.
With Mac and Windows, you just search up what you want and download it.
Compatability is a huge thing too.

1·4 days agoNo one is doing that. YOU’RE the one here that is getting angry at nothing. It’s just an option for pixel users, who are one of the only demographics locked into Google photos. Other phone users are free to use their stock photo app. You’ve clearly just misunderstood the original comment and are trying to save face.

11·6 days agoBut it’s not for most people. It’s for Google pixel users, that’s the whole point! That’s like saying oh this diesel sucks and isn’t user friendly because it doesn’t work in my petrol car. That’s because it isn’t for your car.

World News@lemmy.world•UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008English
1·6 days agoI mean, I think that’s a stretch. We know that vaping gives you popcorn lung and likely lung cancer also the same as cigarettes.
Alcohol in moderation has no long lasting effects. If you drink in excess it’s not great for your liver sure, but it’s still not as bad as smoking/vaping.
For the record, I’m pro legalising cannabis, and if people want to smoke and drink up a storm in their own home on a Friday night, go for it!
However, in the interest of public health, a tax on vapes wouldn’t be a bad idea. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be as restricted as cigarettes are. If they’re expensive then it doesn’t stop those who really want to partake from using them, but it limits children’s access.
Also, alcohol IS taxed already.

13·7 days agoMaybe so, but they are terrible for you and there shouldn’t be incentive to do it. Vapes are very cheap, this is partly why they’re so popular with children. Maybe it they were a bit pricier then people would think twice. Can also put tax towards public health service.

63·7 days agoNot bothered about what people do in their own homes, moreso what they do in public. Vape isn’t a pleasant smell and we don’t know the impacts of second hand vapour

108·7 days agoA good move in my opinion. Not sure how enforced it will be but phasing out cigarettes full stop is a good idea.
Now we should be clamping down on vapes. Tax them more, ban advertising, hide them from sale and put them in the same blank packaging as cigs.
In my opinion, they should ban the sweet flavours and only allow menthol, tobacco or mint flavours but not sure how that would fly.

4·7 days agoTo be fair, they’re maybe too established now but they’re quite a good example of modern British music these days. Beyond the Dua Lipas and Charlie XCXs of the UK, we’ve got a lot of great rock bands.

Yep, right on. There can be a need for it when the foreskin is too tight during puberty, but it doesn’t fully pull back until that time in a boy’s life anyway so the circumcision is not necessary from birth, apart from maybe in the case of a rare deformity.

11·15 days agoWhy on earth would we!? China especially don’t have the best track record, and the US is the laughing stock of the world at this point, not to trusted with anything.


I mean, they’ll survive on brand name alone. I personally wouldn’t buy a Chinese EV, they’re too new to the market and I don’t know how well they last. I know that Toyotas and Hondas last well (if you buy the correct model)
