Mostly on Lemmy. I'm on Mastadon too. I don't know if YouTube counts but I'm on there as well and is the only corporate social media I use consistently.

I find myself using Instagram more but only following a handful of creators, I don't post or check on my feed. I deleted my Twitter and LinkedIn but can't get myself to delete my Meta accounts because of the people that I have contact with on there. I hardly contact ppl but the sentimentally of the connections is something

Thanks. I've only used for the second today but so far it's pretty good so far

This the realest fake headline

Thanks for the answer! I've been using DDG for the last few months and it is also bad anything map related or at localizing things (DDG also bad with news, it reverts to MSN alot as a news aggregator) )I will have to use Ecosia to real compare the two but their tree planting idea has made curios enough to try it. Thanks again

Thanks for the answer! They seem to be transparent, and even have a breakdown of they use their money by month, which I appreciate. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any huge news stories that blew the lid on this and said it was all fake or something. Thanks again

I hadn't consider that. I wonder if there is a way around this. Thanks for the answer!

I never knew. Thanks for answering!

I found this video explaining the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0zHU4E1XaE&t=123s

I would love to hear any Estonians experience here actually using it

 

https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/_en, This is the initiative I am talking about. You have to prove you are an EU citizen and then you can sign for the initiatives you want and if a million signatures are reaching within a year then it must be brought to the EU commission.

So if citizens of EU member states can sign online, why can't they vote online for elections or referendums? If possible, this would decrease the need and power of representative democracy and move closer to direct democracy, which I argue is a good thing

Just came to say you're a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone's lives worse? again coward and an idiot

Just watched the video. Couldn't agree more and suprised I hadn't noticed this earlier. The one time I noticed it happening was when watching Black Panther and wondering why Killmonger started becoming illogical and erratic after he legitimately won the throne.

I haven't seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but unless I am missing some context, the line in the video here when falcon says "when things get better for one group, things always get worse for another" is just crazy! Especially having Falcon say it is even more crazy

I haven't seen this yet, but the title alone is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

No backing down on CO2 targets, says EU's next transport head

I thought the twist of Amon being a bender really undercuts that seasons story arc. The Equalists were asking a questions that makes sense in their world, benders are ridiculously more powerful than non-benders and in their world's history (at least in Aang's time) held almost all significant offices. The equalists had a fair question about how to even the play fielding for all citizens. But this question isnt answered or considered, Amon comes out at as a bender and the equalist movement is forgotten about

From the article:

Unionized machinists at Boeing voted Monday to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks.

Leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers district in Seattle said 59% of members who cast ballots agreed to approve the company’s fourth formal offer and the third put to a vote. The deal includes pay raises of 38% over four years, and ratification and productivity bonuses.

However, Boeing refused to meet strikers’ demand to restore a company pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago.

The average annual pay of Boeing machinists is currently $75,608 and eventually will rise to $119,309 under the new contract, according to the company.

"I am proud of our democratic processes. Although I wanted a second term, I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process,” Masisi said.

Way to go Botswana!

 

How can I migrate all my likes, community subscriptions, posts, comments etc to another instance?

Is this even currently possible?

Thanks for reading
