Yeah, I never get all these comments saying "if Lemmy wants to get big" it needs to do X (probably some Reddit feature), and " if Lemmy wants to succeed" if needs to do Y (some niche thing most people dont need).

Like, it's already successful doing exactly what it was intended for.

Possibly Lemmy is a lot of peoples first foray into FOSS software, and being the biggest and best, and profits go brrr isn't the aim.

Capitalism is a hell of a drug when it's all you've known.

Isn't that the problem being stated in the OP haha.

"Lasted 10 years". Looks like they've barely used it.

Yeah, like the old saying, you have to boil a few eggs to bake a cake, right?

You're on a UK community here buddy. We had police before the USA was founded. Your link literally says USA policing was based on the british model.

[–] tkc@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, absolutely.

Some friends and I were attacked at a taxi rank on a busy high street many years ago. 3 were stabbed/slashed with a bottle and we all had a night in A&E. One has permanent face scars from it.

CCTV showed them getting into a taxi, the taxi driver was found and said they dropped them off at a petrol station.

The police had all that info and got the CCTV from the petrol station, and still couldn't/didn't identify them.

This bill needs to be killed. It's just more surveillance wrapped in saving the kids.

I've had people say to me "But what if you're partner was attacked, you would be glad that CCTV/message snooping was there" when debating these topics.

I'm not going to lie, that's hard to argue against, I would if it helped catch them, but I'd rather it didn't happen in the first place. I don't know where I'm going with this...

Oh wow, it's Zeus from that thread! Such a privilege to meet you.

I tried to put that first one in mine and it came up as a playable video.

I managed to put one in my bio after following the instructions by @Zeus@lemm.ee.

Cheers. I also didn't know you could get animated PNGs. Every day's a school day.

How dare you :)

They've been left out the last few days so my partner can get around to hanging up that pile of clothes. They'll definitely do it this evening...

I'd feel bad taking them away from the dog now though.
