If it wasn’t Google I’d probably have got one. I got a Polar Loop instead. It’s got quite a few negative reviews because when it first came out it had loads of problems but it’s fine now. It’s not as cheap but from a reputable EU company.
You’ve got some balls admitting to using Windows on Lemmy.
In any other country he’d be centrist.
Markdown is so annoying. I wanted to record a command in Joplin and had the audacity to make it bold to highlight something. Pasted it into their terminal and it put a bunch of asterisks in. Thanks.
I found OVPN to be basically the same thing. They’ve actually proven in court that they have no way of logging customer activity.
I used to live on quite a large cul-de-sac and we knew most of the people, it was a really good community. Four or five times a year, and at Halloween and Christmas, we’d have street parties and everyone would come out and the kids would tear around and we’d put up tables with drinks and snacks which everyone would contribute to, though there was no pressure to pitch in. The WhatsApp group was really active and would get approx 30 messages per day, usually just people giving stuff away or asking where there kids were. My wife is really anxious about our daughter going missing usually but on that street she would come home and the kids would be playing and she’d jump out of the car and run off, and my wife was fine with it. There was always someone looking after them. We had to move because we wanted to be closer to the school, and we were renting and our landlord was a real problem, but we still get invited to the parties.
Our new cul-de-sac is smaller and it’s not the same but we regularly speak to about a third of the street and know the other third enough to say hello. People just don’t hang out on the street here like they used to at the old street, it’s more of a back garden place.
That’ll just look like the US government thinks they good, even if they’re not.
I’ve got no hate for the US team, it was Trump and Infantino.

French were classy on the pitch though.
The whole competition they’ve been dragging the sport into the gutter. They’ve constantly been aggressively fouling as much as they can and they seem to have been getting away with so much there’s been a bit of a pattern. Lots of theories but I think FIFA saw this as an opportunity to break into the American market and wanted some drama, hence trying to get Messi into the finals for a dramatic finish. Early in the tournament Messi tackled someone and it should’ve been a red card but the ref didn’t even call the foul. The whole tournament for them has been overly aggressive tackles, pushing and shoving, shirt pulling, diving and general flouting of the rules and poor sportsmanship. It seemed like the ref in the final didn’t turn a blind eye quite so much and they finally got shown a red after literally hitting a player so hard he flipped upside down in the air.
Accusations of bias and terrible behaviour have folllowed them the whole tournament but they kind of became a talking point after they beat England and pulled out a flag saying that the Falklands are Argentinian which was a clear breach of the rules that says that political stuff isn’t allowed. Then it got really highlighted when they played Spain, who were disciplined and professional, against Argentina who were playing in their regular aggressive fashion, and the contrast just made Argentina look like a bunch of hooligans. Then when the game was over a substitute player ran onto the pitch to celebrate with the team and one of the Argentinian players punched him. The Spanish confronted him and the Argentinians escalated it multiple times.
in the end the Argentinians more or less became the baddies of the World Cup. This came the day after the Bronze game between England and France which was basically an example of excellent behaviour and sportsmanship (I don’t recall a single yellow card). After the match the teams congratulated each other and hung around on the pitch chatting and joking with each other.
Edit
Also forgot to mention there’s a new rule where players aren’t allowed to cover their mouthes in an argument, in order to stamp out things like racism. If they do it’s an automatic red card. Messi tried to use it to get a Spanish player sent off for touching his mouth. It didn’t work but everyone saw Messi try it.
Edit
My English here was terrible. Unfortunately it is my first language; at least you know it’s not written by AI.
I think you missed a few things out.
