You might try it again - I had quite the experience reading some of my old school lectures again without having to discuss this in class or write tests about them.

You're right - it's great to be able to crosspost, but every fediverse software is totally allowed their own features and if other systems don't display it correctly, that's also ok.

But in this case, Mastodon really is missing some kind of "group" feature. We kind of have this with the a.gup.pe - Tool, but it would be nice to bring some order into that chaos.

Wouldn't that also destroy everything European itself? So if I cancel Disneys & hollywoods copyrights and we could totally pirate every american movie like we want, who would pay to see a french one? Would local TV stations even produce their own content anymore?

I'm also not sure. There is something that sounds wrong here. To me, it doesn't matter where those companies are coming from. The Irish people won't profit at all if the owner of some company is Irish. The rich businessmen know how to avoid paying taxes. It would matter if the irish people itself were owning the wind turbines, but that is not being discussed here.

So, what would be the best way to "block the internet" on an Android phone while still being somehow able to use it for communication with the family & friends, navigation and stuff like that?

Yeah, but computers and smartphones are kind of like food - people need them, they are not luxury goods. You might be able to use your old laptop a while longer or keep using your broken smartphone, but if it really breaks, you will buy another one regardless of tarrifs.

Yeah, because Manifest v3 is just being rolled out as described in the article.

I mean, algorithms are not bad at all if they are transparent. The "scaled" sorting in Lemmy is an algorithm and it does work great. You can take a look at the source code and see how it works. The problem here is not "algorithms" and we really shouldn't call it "algorithms" - it's tech companies force feeding you content they want you to see and preventing you from seeing the sites/posts/users you are actively following from reaching your feed. What Musk is doing on X is propaganda and we should call it that

Yeah, and I'm talking about solar farms, which do not use any water at all. Maybe some to clean the panels, but that is exactly my issue here: The article is throwing stuff together that really doesn't belong together. Buying gas from Egypt is different than building a solar farm or building industrial hydrogen plants or importing agricultural products.

duckduckgo browser is based on Chromium (as nearly every other "alternative" browser is) and therefore will use Manifest v3 and neuter uBlock.

To totally confuse you: The USA uses the "standard litre" while Europe uses "normal litre":

I know what they are saying. I just don't think that building a solar farm in Morocco is really colonialist and would push them to still use fossil fuels as claimed. Go to google maps, search for those projects mentioned in the Guardian article and they are being build in the literal desert with enough space around:

https://www.google.com/maps/search/Noor+3+solar+power+station,+Ouarzazate/@31.0343835,-6.8871281,12839m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIxOS4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

However the article is claiming:

European countries are extracting renewable energy from Morocco and Egypt to “greenwash” their own economies, while leaving north Africans reliant on dirty imported fuels and paying the environmental costs, a Greenpeace report says.

But why?
