Where is the bunny suit option?

So your solution is change the whole system so you can buy a dumped Chinese car without any guilt?

Whilst I agree the system is broken, buying dumped goods only makes the situation worse as it means those players and playing on an uneven playing field

Not again... unzips

True, my doctor suggested this but sometimes I like to switch it up to surprise my partner.

Only put the one you plan to use

Half-life 3 launch trailer! /s

Jk, in reality I'd love to see more about the new bond game. Was hoping they'd show more after they showed off the first trailer.

Can confirm your point on Manchester busses in the past. Woohoo much better now with the bee network

The interconnection between the modes of transport is another great point. At least starting with having train transfers be more coordinated (since they wouldn't be run by different companies) is a good start.

Unsure how coordinating all the different privat bus networks would go but definitely something the government should prioritise too. If the system can actually work then hopefully that means we can get people out of cars.

I like nationalisation as a concept. I don't like that currently it is still a concept as Labor has not made clear, concrete commitments for what it could mean.

I understand that ticket prices are unlikely to come down. It sucks but I hope they can at least commit to freezing prices for a while or something. I think nationalisation offers the opportunity to rework the ticketing system as a whole to have it be completely integrated. I hope this would mean you can just tap in and out of stations and have the lowest price automatically calculated like they are in some European countries (the Netherlands for example).

Unfortunately Labour hasn't said anything clear about their plans other than "we want to make it better". Hopefully we find out more in the Autumn.

Damn, could have sworn it was

You're argument is very convincing. Guess I have to buy a jetski with the money I hav... Oh wait

I knew the Scandinavians where up to something with their IKEA propaganda! We need to go back to crazy embroidery with gold highlights on everything. Just need to find the money...

Can confirm, never works unless your very persistent and the ambulance shows up

As someone on the boundary between millennials and gen Z. Sometimes I am cringe as fuck and sometimes I am based. The worst part is, it's hard to predict when either will happen.

Holy shit, I was very scared for a second then realised the community. Ngl, you got me

But Trump was the first president (since the US tried to break up Microsoft) to seriously start thinking about fighting big tech. Obviously for dumb reasons (they hurt his feelings) but still, I don't think that statement is inaccurate. However, it is true he isn't the first politician to say something against big tech. Even so, he was in a position of power to potentially do something about it (even if he never did and likely won't now given how much they are bending the knee)

Regardless of what we think of his comments, it's good that he is vocal about his opinions. Makes him seem like a person than some faceless CEO they says nothing.

He just got spicy with this 1 post and it hasn't worked out for him and now the open source community Proton is a part of hate him. There is so much hate that they are leaving Mastodon which is a huge shame

So it's naive to voice his opinion on what a Trump presidency could mean for the tech industry? Looking back to trump's previous term big tech shunned him and Twitter even kicked him off the platform by the end of his presidency. Back then it pissed Trump off and he threatened all sorts of shit. I don't think it was that crazy to think that he would still be upset about it and try to do something at the begining of December when Proton's CEO made that post.

If you look at what proton is trying to do in terms of becoming a complete non-proffit that would have many safeguards in place to undo that change. I think it does show he has some level of forethought. The one caveat being that they have not completed that process and implemented everything yet so we'll have to see if that promise follows through

Here is the CEO's post along with a link to an article with the twitter link.

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

He is supporting Trump's pick for a roll, fair enough. But the rest of the post, he is talking about how he hopes the republicans will do something about big tech. He isn't endorsing Trump himself or his stance of policies. Far as I've seen he never has. He it literally just stating what the republicans used to be about.

Damn that sounds impressive. Hopefully they can get this service deployed before the others do and they can start to claim some more market share
