I have only smoked regular cigarettes (quit 5 years ago after 10 year long addiction). Not sure why you assumed I use ecigs. I can only say tribalism is a cancer upon internet discourse.

I too would like to see cars banned but it’s just not practical yet.

There are obvious health benefits from making smoking as annoying as possible for smokers which will lead to long term medical cost decrease. Secondary smoke from ecigs outdoors is still neglible compared to cars, farts and people in general.

I find lots of things annoying outdoors but I guess it’s not so common here to become an issue. Ecigs users are usually conscious enough to keep distance from other people. I hear it’s getting pretty bad with disposable vapes but haven’t seen much of that myself, likely a perk of not living in a big city.

Cigarettes, sure, but including ecigs sounds unreasonable? I quit smoking couple of years ago and regular cigarette smell makes me gag but Iqos and liquid vapes are not that offensive outdoors.

There’s no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn’t overwhelm moderators.

I guess it’s fine as long as EPP led governments in Poland and Lithuania do this, just not Orban because he’s a bit of an ass.

So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.

That’s why I keep saying it’s pointless to defederate corpos. They’ll just scrape everything before you notice.

Glad to hear, thanks for the update.

I was among reddit refugees a year ago and it took me a moment to notice what was going on ml and their communities were more significant in comparison to what we have today.

One of the reasons I’m on sopuli.xyz now is that it was one of the first reasonably big instances to defederate hexbear outright. Hesitance and outright hostility to defederate it from some instance admins was also worrying.

We hate russia but half of draft aged men would escape Poland before breakfast if war broke out. We don’t own anything and have no say in anything so why would we fight to protect fortunes of the wealthy? There is no sense of community in this nation.

“Vote for us or russia wins”. This is probably the worst election campaign I’ve ever seen. Yeah, PiS is a bunch of thugs that has very high tolerance for people that could be working on behalf of russia. At the same time PiS government provided Ukraine with most tanks out of any nation. What PO is doing is just fucking irresponsible, take a look at this this ad they aired a day after Fico was shot.

And that’s not even the most depressing thing. PiS and PO keep calling each other russian agents but won’t even mention far right Konfederacja that has obvious ties to Putin because they could be their coalition partner one day. PiS courted them prior to and after last elections but ultimately they wouldn’t have majority anyway. PO knows that if New Left ever grows balls and quits coalition there won’t be any other way to remain in power.

Personally I’m partial to free pizza.

You have to commend courts for prioritizing russian values (like wife beating) over an opportunity to send them to jail and then back into the meat grinder.

I was surprised too, I knew of them but didn’t know they were this huge given that Aliexpress is more popular here (I think).

I’d go one step further and say pirating music is too big of a hassle in general. Apple Music and Tidal do loseless compression, have huge catalogues and are so dirt cheap I don’t understand why you’d make your life so hard on purpose. Once effectively unlimited mobile data became a thing music piracy lost most of its purpose.

It might be just a little bit more shitty to be laid off and have finances jeopardized than to fire someone. I don’t know the market you’re in but I’d never stoop so low to come back to a place that laid me off earlier, I’d really have to be desperate.

I was curious how this was received on European community on that commercial Lemmy-like site. It’s got about same amount of upvotes as it does on Lemmy XD
