    The country is done for
  • No /s, it is, no one says Gen Zed, or Jay Zed, XY Zee is just next in line, it's all Zee's and it makes sense why

    At this point nobody is learning 'English', people are learning American because they watch American Movies, TV Shows, listen to American Music, eat American Food, play American Video Games, we watch literally millions of American Youtube and Tiktok Videos every day, we're following American Influencers and Celebrities, with American Social Media Australians are following American Politics more closely than Australian Politics and frequently confusing the two, in addition we're all addicted to the American Apps installed on American Operating Systems (all of them, Windows and MacOS and Android and IOS) on the American Smart Phones/Laptops/Desktops

    The top most visited websites in Australia:

    1. American
    2. American
    3. American
    4. American
    5. American

    The consequence of this is that we lose our culture, but as some French statesman said: why bother when everyone is enjoying everything?

    Europe must take responsibility for its security, Polish FM says after Trump's win
  • Yes Macron said this back in 2017

    https://www.elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-macron/2017/09/26/president-macron-gives-speech-on-new-initiative-for-europe

    literally point number one:

    1. A Europe that guarantees security in all its aspects

    In terms of defence, Europe must have a joint intervention force, a joint defence budget and a joint doctrine for action. We need to encourage the swift creation of a European Defence Fund, permanent structured cooperation, and supplement them with a European intervention initiative that better integrates our armed forces at all stages.

    and what has changed since then and what is being implemented?

    Amid controversial changes, Reddit is getting more popular—and profitable
  • With Reddit finally making money, anyone who doesn’t like this side of Reddit will either learn to accept it or leave.

    It's tough, I don't find much value in the decentralisation of a link aggregator, but there's no reddit alternative and the ones that were made before were filled to the brim with right wing nutters.

    This place is on the side, far too left wing progressive for my liking but I'm relying on it and the whirlpool forums until something better comes along.

    US & Israel oppose entire world in UN vote to end Cuba blockade
  • Ok so I figured out how to block a user but blocking an instance:

    https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=block+whole+instance+lemmy&addon=firefox&addonversion=4.1.4&method=topbar

    Leads me to:

    Which suggests there's no way to do this :(

    We should defederate lemmy.ml
  • i’ve only been here a short while and i’ve seen multiple meta posts now from a variety of instances talking about blocking that instance and moving to different software like mbin so i think this is a shared view

    Australia’s thirst for power drives a rise in coal and gas-led emissions for third quarter in a row
  • if you charge it at night sure, if you charge it during the day it’s 70% powered by renewables

    https://ibb.co/VgnQ47y

    https://aemo.com.au/Energy-systems/Electricity/National-Electricity-Market-NEM/Data-NEM/Data-Dashboard-NEM

    daylight has been conquered by solar, now we’re moving into battery/hydro/wind to dominate night as well

    you can also tell him that electric vehicles are still more efficient even when powered by coal because a petrol engine spends 70% of its energy making a lot of noise and heat, whereas ev’s do the opposite
