Nextcloud Office is just Libre Office via Collabora though…

Never thought I’d be on the side of the redcoats, but alas you make a good point.

I understand now why so many traitorous Scots put on the coat.

Aye that’s fair. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” and all that.

Just to clarify though, owning your own car and stereo falls under personal property, not private property. See my comment here for a brief distinction of the two: https://feddit.uk/comment/18187961

Communism (from Latin communis ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society entails the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state.[7][8][9]

Let’s see how the USSR performed against this definition of communism.

• Common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society based on need.
  Kind of, the state owned most means of production and distributed products. Arguably based on Russian need rather than any other Soviet republic’s need. Let’s be generous and say partial pass for this one.

• Absence of private property and social classes
  Presumably this is private property as in the distinction between personal and private property set out by Proudhon. In that regard, as the state owned most all private property, in a way it was absent. But the state still owned it, and the state is counter to communism. Social classes still remained.

• Ultimately money
  Still existed.

• The state.
  That definitely still existed.

So what part of the USSR was real communism? Kind of common ownership of the means of production and kind of the absence of private property. All other criteria were failed.

These clauses added to the Bill yesterday grant powers for police to access any online account and the information within it, on approval of a senior officer, through a seized phone or device.

Any online account. So Instagram and TikTok, but also NHS accounts, banking apps, work accounts, they have carte blanche to just rifle through anything and everything that you’ve signed into? With no judicial warrant required.

America may be openly fascist now, but the UK isn’t far behind.

And this is under a Labour government.

If you have any left wing leanings, vote Green in future, convince friends and family to vote Green.

Labour are authoritarian and the Lib-Dems will sell out any principles for a whiff of power. The Greens might have some shit candidates, but they at least support proportional representation and not starting a police state.

Not according to ICE.

Their servers are located in Portugal I believe and do indeed run on solar power! They gave details of their set up on their wiki page but… that was on the server that’s gone down so… have a read in July I guess?

Need is a strong word

Some of us dirty foreigners have learned how to use the internet too, not everyone online is American.

They are different. They’re more racist, xenophobic, and (surprisingly, it’s possible) more incompetent.

Not to mention the constant paranoia and assumption that you’re stealing from them whilst saving them an immense amount of labour costs. Cameras watching your every move and “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA”.

Makes for such an enjoyable shopping experience…

“The only recourse you’ll have” is the whole point. You have no recourse on Reddit. There is no other Reddit server. There are many Lemmy servers, all over the world, with very different views and policies.

Just works, sometimes. Other times you’ll be left with a blank screen and the need for a second device to search the mint forums. It all depends on the age and support for your hardware.

The $0 home server:

Don’t host on YouTube? They’re a big company, I’m sure they’ve got the resources for a couple of video files.

Is there an easy way to purge a Lemmy account or do you have to edit/ delete each comment and post first?

I’ve had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.

And risk burning yourself when the rubber wears out in 3 years and bursts?

Nah, get yourself one of those oat-filled microwavable teddies. Does the same job but with less risk of severe burns and doesn’t need replaced every few years.
