it’s not fast enough for gaming
Dawg, you need like a 5 megabit connection for online gaming, if even that. Starlink offers multiple times that at the minimum.
I can understand it being too slow for many things, but gaming is one of the worst examples you could’ve possibly given.
Couldn’t find a reliable source for the 250,000 figure. The closest thing I could find was 50,000 in 2025.
I hate this as much as you do, but come on, don’t make shit up.
I almost exclusively eat rye bread, just like the rest of this country.
So… The bread in supermarket is high in preservative chemicals
This seems like an America thing.
Not the case here in Finland, for example.
China is barely smaller than the US, and what you think is a unified Chinese language is actually a bunch of mutually unintelligible languages in a trench coat.
The cultural differences between regions in the US are usually much smaller than ones in China.
The most obvious examples of this are the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet.
Did you just downvote your own comment?
I spoke out against transphobia on a meme sub, which was met with a rape threat, a racist slur, dog piling and the cherry on top was that I got banned from that sub as well.
Did any of the people blatantly breaking the Reddit TOS get banned?
.
Nope. :P
Because I didn’t think a short comment expressing my feelings would be such a big deal that multiple people come to complain about it.
That’s fine. You can think of it what you want.
I try not to engage on politics here. Waste of my time and makes me just feel bad in general.
If bipolar disorder is involved, it’s still a combination of various factors.
Bipolar disorder alone doesn’t cause something like this, I’d know because I have it and I can’t imagine ever doing something like this, even in my wildest manic episodes, even though I have a pretty serious case of it.
The other factors could be anything. Some examples: trauma, co-morbid mental conditions or just being a shitty person in general. Those are just some examples, like I said, it could be anything and it’s likely the other stuff is things we probably couldn’t even think of.
So many bad takes.
This thread is making me lose brain cells.
Important to note that Qwant still uses the Bing search index everywhere except for France and Germany, where they use the Staan search index, which is being developed together with Ecosia.
I’m sure the more people use it, the faster they can expand, though.
Using it from Finland myself, quite satisfied with it even with this Bing nonsense. Only have to use Google for VERY RARE cases.
Just check their Wikipedia page.

non-US search engine (start page)

Try Qwant or Ecosia. They’re working together to develop an independent search index (Staan) and it’s already in use in France and Germany.
You wouldn’t download a Bill Gates.
The fact that this has 62 upvotes is making me lose brain cells.
This happened in Finland. The guy in charge is Petteri Orpo.
Edit: And his asshole cabinet of ministers.
Fair enough, I couldn’t find that article.
Lag is different from a lack of speed, which that person claimed. Lag = latency, nothing to do with speed.
I really really really hate this redditor style tendency to call everyone who corrects facts they want to believe in a shill or a bot. I couldn’t have made it more clear that I’m not a Musk fan:
It’s just that I’m overly concerned with facts, likely due to my neurodivergence. These kinds of comments feels kind of ableist, although that again is probably something I might get shit on for, as you’re not supposed to call out ableism on this platform.
I don’t understand this bot thing either. I haven’t seen a single one of these bots you’re talking about. Repost bots, sure, but agenda pushing bots? The entities that push that stuff clearly aren’t interested in this platform yet. On Reddit it’s very obvious.
