FOSS but also no ads. And don't harvest any data to sell either.

I genuinely don't understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn't really matter if you were to charge for your product

For parts of the world 'free bank' and 'free transfers' are just the norm anyway. I'm amazed it isn't the case in the US already.

I think the Internet is partially to blame.

The negative stuff happening in the world seems to spread so much faster and get so much more publicity that it's easy to end up in a constant negative spiral

Sure - but what do the attendees of a gaming conference have to do with new oil wells being approved?

How will these protests lead to meaningful change? Do you think this form of protest will result in any more success than aforementioned 'right way'?

I mean, the easy option is just selecting your level of experience at the beginning and offering experienced players an option to skip the tutorial.

As someone that used to love OnePlus, what's the more recent equivalent?

I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?

I'm all for having both. I personally prefer 'AAA' games over indie games but I think there's just different flavours for different folks.

That said, SC is a mega scam at this point and I can't believe people are still continuing to fund it to this level.

No arms though.

I don't think the solution to that problem though is having multiple, smaller, unconnected grids.

I think it's to just have a more resilient grid system that doesn't have any areas that are a single point of a failure

Yea, even with connecting flights I'm sure people miss the connection for various reasons with reasonable regularity

I go on reddit for the TeachingUK sub and for the rugbyunion sub.

If those communities existed here in any meaningful way then I'd be done with reddit properly at this point.

The idea a student was struggling with one way of solving the problem and teaching them alternative methods never occurred because it was “outside the curriculum”.

It's a tough balance of being 'outside the curriculum' vs 'they don't have time'. There's lot of methods of doing most things in maths. Teachers usually will be trying to take an evidence-based approach of which method is supposedly the most effective for the most people (but unfortunately won't be the most effective for everyone. And then with the amount stuffed into our school curriculum, there just isn't time to cover the alternate methods

London currently has 73 MPs out of 650 (11.2%) when they have 9mil out of 67million people (13.2%).

So guess you're right that they'd get stronger representation.

However on the other hand, people like the Green party got 2.7% of the vote in 2019 while only getting 0.15% of the seats.

Some voices get stronger, but it's not just cities.

I think any Tory leader would've been forced to do the same as Cameron did in that political climate. I know he made the actual decision to have a referendum which was arguably the worst decision in the recent history of our country, but I think with the impact UKIP was having at the time, it was relatively inevitable.

Similar to how the SNP making such huge gain is what forced a Scottish independence referendum.

Edit: I also dread to think about the 'what if?' would be like if we didn't have Covid to kind of push Bojo out.

I was just about to post Warframe as well - though on PS5 rather than PC.

Is definitely scratching an itch!

It's interesting that phases per possion and number of kicks both suggest teams are kicking for territory more and not keeping the ball for as long - yet there are still more tackles than before.

Even the fact there's more tackles during less ball in play time is surprising.

We do need more people to work in certain industries. Not necessarily more people in general, but there are absolutely industries that relied on foreign nationals to help them meet staffing levels and after Brexit they aren't meeting those. This is partly due to UK citizens feeling they are 'too good' to do certain types of work, though more and more are now taking these roles as there are no other options as our country becomes poorer.

I think it's a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.

People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people's hearts I think is bordering on entitled.
