tinned_tomatoes@feddit.ukto World News@lemmy.world•Netanyahu Gifts Trump Golden Pager to Commemorate Attack That Killed Children: 'That Was a Great Operation'English1·3 months agoUK here, same shitty system, though it’s supposedly good at ensuring mostly-stable governments. We had a hung parliament in 2010 and it was actually pretty decent (in the sense that the Lib Dems were able to hold back the Tories’ more aggressive policies), but having true proportional representation would significantly change the UK political spectrum.
Ironically I was thankful for FPTP in our 2024 election because it capped the power that far-right parties like Reform UK could take. We now have a super strong Labour majority and 4.5 more years of them pushing through progressive policies without much opposition. Proportional representation would slow down progress in this way, because the parliament would have to constantly find mitigations and compromises. That’s actually a really good quality of a government, but the UK is in a poor state right now and needs investment desperately and quickly!
tinned_tomatoes@feddit.ukto World News@lemmy.world•Netanyahu Gifts Trump Golden Pager to Commemorate Attack That Killed Children: 'That Was a Great Operation'English2·3 months agoUnfortunately most people here are in their early twenties and have yet to learn about the flaws of FPTP. Sadly this was probably their most important election and they fucked it up.

In a few years maybe you’ll drop this delusion that you didn’t elect Trump by not voting for Harris.

Sync has the most polished, most “Android” UI. The developer disappeared for years at a time before, so he’ll be back again.
tinned_tomatoes@feddit.ukto politics @lemmy.world•Ocasio-Cortez: Musk ‘one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met’16·3 months agoYour writing style is extremely LLM-y, and you’re currently posting paragraphs of text praising the richest person on the planet currently gifting the entire US economy. So forgive me for accusing you of being a pro-Musk LLM. I guess you’re just a pro-Musk moron instead.
Here’s a hint - when someone you admire does stuff like Nazi salutes and pose genuine threats to the US constitution, you’re allowed to stop admiring that person.
tinned_tomatoes@feddit.ukto politics @lemmy.world•Ocasio-Cortez: Musk ‘one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met’17·3 months agoYou are blatantly a ChatGPT account posting pro-Musk trite. Get in the sea and don’t come back.

Sync for Reddit had this exact same situation. He would disagree for a year, reappear with a bold new update and then disappear for another year
The difference here though is the developer is charging people a monthly subscription for some features. Doing that and not maintaining your app is a new low for him, personally.

I’m glad your heat pump was viable though!

It looks like a goddamn iOS app from 2012.
I got banned for reporting a post with the statement “links to nazi platform” (it was a link to X).
I got a message in my inbox about my account being given “a warning” for abusing the report system. I was then permanently banned an hour later.
I had like 5 accounts, one of them dating back to 2008. They are now all permanently suspended. Because I offended some loser moderator.
Or maybe they all got banned because I still used a third party Reddit client? Oh well. Fuck Reddit. I’ll continue using my cracked third party Reddit client and browse Reddit in read-only mode. Lemmy can be where I actually contribute !
