That's kind of what is happening with Kim DotCom. He's been in New Zealand for years and never set foot in the US, but he is accused of conspiring to distribute pirated material that belongs to American corporations. He supposedly broke US law, while in New Zealand, and has never been to the US.

Not sure if you saw the news, but the BBC are experimenting with their own Mastadon instance. They can probably afford to host video.

I understand that many instances are run by volunteers and hobbyists. But that doesn't mean that a business such as BBC couldn't come and host their own instance.

And I don't think I implied that you wanted to ban video. I just want to see video integrated natively into Lemmy so that instances can turn it on or off. A Youtube link is no good. I don't like being rickrolled.

For the Deaf Community, their first language is Sign Language. I am Deaf myself, and I am privileged to be fluent in English, however I cannot say that my Deaf friends are also fluent in English. Many of them have the English level of an 8-year old (because of their poor education) so writing in English is not "Deaf-friendly"

Any plans to integrate video into posts and comments natively?

Waiting for the Climate Change Commission to shoot this proposal down.

Similar thing happened here in New Zealand where we are one of the co-hosts for the FIFA Women's World Cup. The sports segment started with a story about the night's rugby match between New Zealand and Australia.

They ended the sports segment talking about the Women's Football (soccer).

Now that the rugby game has completed, and tonight the New Zealand women's Football team are playing a must-win match Vs Switzerland, I'm very interested to see what the news segment starts off with tonight. Will it be tonight's women's football game, or highlights talking about last night's rugby?

But why is it a high-profile case? Who is she?

Is anyone else losing respect for players that go to Saudi chasing the money?

I'm not sure if I would consult with a doctor about whether a waste to energy plant is a good idea. They should probably stick to what they are trained and qualified for.

Well, I'll be pleased to see my friends stop calling it cuntdown

The World Cup could be referring to so many things!

We have the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, Mens Rugby World Cup 2023, Netball World Cup 2023, Mens Cricket World Cup 2023. And there's probably more.

I've generally stopped watching movies because they're too long. I prefer the shorter episodes of TV shows.

Every now and then when I'm in the mood for a movie I'm looking for 90 minute movies. Otherwise I doze off
