TBH if you're an artist you'll probably make more money by NOT being on streaming platforms and having people buy your music directly - spotify in particular pays fuck all, you might as well have your music on The Pirate Bay. Hell, putting your own music on pirating platforms is probably better for discovery, and people who like your music will buy the albums.

The EU is America's servile little lapdog, its no surprise they would take notes from Trump on this. Especially when it comes to persecuting migrants to feed the cultural war, so that they don't have to talk about how they're about to do more austerity and health service cuts. The war machine demands more human sacrifices to keep running!
The point of the law isn't for it to be enforced fairly, it will be selectively enforced to purge dissenting voices on issues like Israel's genocide in Gaza (which Carney still supports, despite the performative recognition in the UN), much like how the UK has made supporting Palestine a terrorism offense.
He was pro-genocide when Biden was doing it, then quietly pivoted to being anti-genocide when the genocide fell into Trump's hands. He's an unprincipled piece of shit who only cares about making Team Blue look good.
Was it a pogrom when Israel killed hundreds of their own civilians on Oct.7? Or only when the Big Scary Arab does it?
On 5 December 2023, Israeli hostages released by Hamas met with Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet and claimed that, during the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel they were deliberately attacked by Israeli helicopters on their way into Gaza, and were shelled constantly by the Israeli military while they were there.[73]

GrapheneOS is probably not long for this world with how much Google has been fucking with AOSP's source code releases. We need full-fat mainline Linux on our phones, with no Android code included.
US Holocaust museum removes anti-genocide post amid Gaza atrocities
US Holocaust Memorial Museum Board Member Calls Gazans “Fundamentally Evil”
US Holocaust Museum accuses Mamdani of 'exploiting' Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Here's a post from their own blog, saying that it's antisemetic to not be a Zionist ("All sectors of society must condemn antisemitism, including anti-Zionism.")
So yeah, fuck 'em.
Ironically the US Holocaust Museum is basically a part of Israel's PR wing and has done extensive work in whitewashing Israel's modern-day Holocaust in Palestine, even saying that "Never again" only means "never again for Jews" and genocides of other people is OK. It should be shut down for that reason, not Trump's.
Smuggling moon rocks back to Earth to be sold on the black market is also pretty lucrative iirc.
This will be unpopular but I wouldn't defederate it just for having shitty politics just like I don't believe in defederating the "Tankie" Lemmy instances for their politics. As long as they're not shitting up the rest of the lemmyverse like the way r/The_Donald used Reddit like a fleshlight from 2016-2019 they can have their little corner, who gives a fuck.
I'm sorry but where's the actual evidence that China is this "threat to democracy"? The articles you posted say that the government says that but the government has yet to supply hard evidence of Chinese interference in elections outside of some bot activity on social media. If troll comments on Facebook comment sections is the bar for "threat to democracy" then the bar is so low it's practically worthless.

We need this in North America if we ever want to solve the housing crisis tbh. I'm talking Soviet-style, grey concrete commieblocks. Yes the buildings are ugly, probably lack amenities, cheaply constructed and not well maintained, but we desperately need cheap, dense housing if we're going to bring down the costs. Building more luxury Manhattan condos and suburban single family abominations does nothing to bring down housing prices.
