Welcome to ProtonMail, a Trump supporting service. He can’t catch a break, can he?

The US sanctioning people who could request that US officials go to jail is about as dishonest a move they can make. They don’t want a judiciary who speaks against them. The US is run by crooks.

That this was civil? We didn’t cuss each other out. If you want me to be less civil, just say so.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter. If this initiative makes it or not doesn’t matter that much to me. I’m not buying the games impacted by this, nor do I support the game companies that employ the practices.

Have a good one.

“Everybody”. It’s just you mate 🤷‍♂ And for a fight, I find this quite civil.

I don’t think you’re reading my comment in its entirety.

So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it’s deeper than just this issue.

This is the important bit.

They are dismissing the value of getting more of those small countries on board. Getting them past the threshold could also have an effect on the gamers in those countries. Who knows what kinds of people may have been untapped. Discarding them as irrelevant is counter-productive.

“Shut up, let the big boys do the lifting”. It’s the same attitudes that are pervasive throughout the union. The voices of those small countries are important. The line of thinking that small countries don’t matter fits very well with the “I’m just one person, so if I don’t vote, nobody will care”. We should be encouraging our brethren from smaller countries to be part of the democratic process instead of just excluding them. The Union wouldn’t listen to the Eastern States after Crimea’s invasion in 2014 and shrugged them off during the renewed invasion.

Imagine if we said the same thing about queers. “Nah, we don’t need their votes, they’re irrelevant, let’s focus on the hets”.

So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it’s deeper than just this issue.

• hey, we need a final push for these countries
• nah, shut up, they are irrelevant, concentrate on these instead
• *sarcastic response*
• the person telling you to shut up is being helpful, your sarcasm is rude

OK.

All my gamer friends know about this, because I told them. I’ve told them and I know at least 3 of them that signed.

Yeah, nevermind then. Let’s do nothing. Might as well just twiddle our thumbs and hope the large countries find another 500k people to sign the initiative. The small countries can be ignored 🤷‍♂

If “economist failures” were bad, let’s turn someone else - left extremists who talk lgbt only (that is secondary to economy or whole non important factor)? or right extremists who promises moneys? Yeah, promises. Very same awesome moneys as whole world sees effects of usa and tariffs right now.

Yep, left parties really do fail at putting the wealth disparity left, right, and center. They get distracted with whatever or issue exists that would be great to be tackled, but not first :/

If you could share the initiative in the lithuanian spaces, that’d be great. Here it is in Lithuanian

So we need consumer complaints too. Pressure has to come from the public. If you see something wrong with a product or company, monopolistic behavior, send in a report to the consumer protection agency of your country.

I don’t know if they can sue them, but I hope they can get other companies to join. Fighting google in court is a monumental undertaking for a company. But if they can get the EU consumer protection to sue for them, that would be amazing too.

Far-right populist Slawomir Mentzen, currently polling third, is virulently anti-Ukrainian and supports an “agreement” with Russia’s Vladimir Putin …

The Polish state should really be doing its utmost worst if a Russia sympathiser can poll third. Have they forgotten how many Poles died at the hands of the Soviets?

Something about investing in bitcoin back in 2012.

Pirate Software - that cunt

Sure, but look at what’s going on in Lithuania. They can’t get 2k people to sign the petition? Wth? Are there no Lithuanian gamers?

Block em. I blocked nearly every community about USAian politics and my feed is now quite OK. Also block people who make everything political. There will still be enough out there to interact with, trust me. I’ve blocked swathes of people here and still find it entertaining. Also, do your best to contribute non-political content, it’ll help provide others something to comment on that isn’t political (and of course block those that try to turn it political).

Also, do create multiple accounts per activity. A political account, a non-political account, a gaming account, a botany account, a bird-watching account,… whatever your interests are, make an account for it and curate your content. I have multiple and this is probably my most political one. Others barely mention politics and aren’t connected to this one. Until lemmy or other fediverse software allows creating personas on the same account, this is the solution I find works best.

In other words, there is no real algorithm here that will secretly bubble up certain type of content depending on how you interacted with the platform. You more influence on your own experience than you know.

Pricks, quite simply. They know it’s wrong, but they don’t care. Society is filled with people like these and you can guess who they vote for.

Next time, film them, it seems like the only way people understand. No need to upload it to social media, just share it with the police and they’ll get the fine.
