I pay around £15 per month in membership fees at my Union. But if it weren't for them, I'd have lost my house when the energy companies hiked their prices, end everyone else did the same to compensate.

Was it garaunteed that they'd win these negotiations? No.

Would I have been better off begging to my managers? Fuck no.

It's actually cheaper than getting an Amazon Ring too, provided you already have mains access from an existing doorbell, and a 3d printer on hand.

I have a pi zero running as a doorbell camera, alongside a couple more CCTV cameras, and a pi4 running in kiosk mode connected to my motioneye server displaying said camera streams on a crappy old TV in my home office.

yes, IOS is very private.

The comment at the time I replied said “how are things over there”, without the “in canada” bit.

I assumed that because he mentioned that he became a canadian citizen, that he was currently living in canada, and because the post is about a UK policy, that wanted to know more of what it was like in the UK currently in case he ever wanted to come back.

And while I am aware that we live in a parliamentary system, I find calling it a democracy, like most tend to do, is pretty ridiculous if we only get to participate in it for a few minutes every five years, and afterwards, whoever wins isn’t held to account when they end up failing in their duty to represent the people who elect them.

Did you receive an election ballot for either Sunak or Truss? 'Cause I didn’t.

We live under capitalism. When profits are threatened, human rights go out the window.

Housing is an example of property given freely in Socialist states such as the USSR and PRC.

Hell, if even North Korea can do it, why can’t we?

It may be nice having rights like that, but if you can’t even exercise them, what’s the point to begin with if your material conditions remain untouched?

Not spiralling downwards over here… plummeting.

Hell, we didn’t even get to vote for our last two leaders, both of whom did more damage individually than Thatcher.

As for the alternative when we do get a chance to vote, well they’ve abandoned just about every principle and policy they had now that victory is practically garaunteed, so they’ve effectively become diet tories.

Still a thing for some enterprise users… and the elderly.

They still run ads, just less profitable ones since they’re less intrusive, aren’t personalised, and most never see them anyway because if youre on DDG in the first place, you’re also likely to be using adblock.

Ive heard good things about prusa. My first printer was an Ender 3 pro, and my god, I spent more time maintaining, fixing, and recalibrating it than it ever spent actually printing stuff.

On IOS, sms messages from other iphone users appear blue.

Users probably cant even watch the video bc of tweet read restrictions.
