I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

It was recently on local news, but that’s not the only conflict that involved water cannons and ships. From the article you can see Vietnam— they once saved filipino fishermen from potentially drowning. (from Philippines) https://www.rappler.com/nation/233079-how-filipino-boat-crew-was-saved-west-philippine-sea/ (from Vietnam) https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/all-gestures-no-words-as-vietnamese-fishermen-saved-22-filipinos-3940276.html. If china continues their actions, there are bound to be casualties. And if that happens, I’m not sure any of us will forgive them.

China has been bullying the Philippines too, out of our own territorial waters, and they have already caused severe injuries to our countrymen. They literally want our entire western Philippine sea. Just look at their nine dash line and they want to have the waters right beside Palawan.

xManager Spotify.

I can’t find it, do you specifically know where?

In my experience Odyssey has that too, even on unrelated videos, and they’re often liked for some reason. Atleast on Youtube you see those comments only on newest

The 2nd option, as a consumer lol.

“dutiful consumers” kinda icks me lol

Their content has better reach on Youtube, though. And has a better comment section which would be relevant to the video (which Oddysee has a problem with)

There was that whole controversy about the Wish trailers because of Youtube compression…

That was the time when z-lib was easily accessible on the clearnet, the time when their links was short?

I mean the last seizure was by ICE+FBI

Wow they sound like they came straight out of Twitter. Though one reason why I use FOSS and barely donate is because our currency isn’t that powerful. I see it in the way people say that self-hosted is cheap (probably from Europe or America) but it’s actually crazy expensive for me (Philippines). Our average monthly income is around 400$. Even if I were to donate a substantial part of it, anyone in the first world would barely gain anything and I would have lots to lose. Unless if they’re from another developing country.

I think you should change your default page from All/Local to Subscribed

You haven’t encountered them on your front page yet???

The rule is quite prevalent in the Philippines

Haven’t logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit’s comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that’s new or it’s something I just noticed but that’s such an asshole design.

Nope, they deliberately made it so that the populations of African countries can easily be enslaved.

Holy shit? Do you have a source for that because damn. It’s something I would expect though.
