As an example I'm on Linux for a decade now but I also use proprietary services. I use Jellyfin and Netflix, Vim and Jetbrains IDEs, Chess.com instead of Lichess, WhatsApp instead of Matrix.

Sometimes the value proposition does it for me, sometimes it's the network effect. I've ditched reddit because I like Lemmy more but I can see how someone wants to stay in touch with their niche communities that don't really exist on Lemmy. Probably some people use both.

Pope Francis was a great pope.

He removed the necessity to get authorization from the Vatican in sexual abuse cases.

Allowed some women to vote in the Synod of Bishops.

Took a stance against death penalties.

Apologised for Catholic Church actions against indigenous Canadians.

Generally whenever he took a stance it was the morally right one.

The Catholic Church is still corrupt but Pope Francis was a great man.

That will be tricky since the king of the popes is the Holy See which is the throne instead of the person that "delegates" authority to the pope.

For further reading on this agreement it's called the Bretton Woods agreement if anyone is interested.

That's such an Ataturk policy to have.

The commonwealth is just another club for countries like the G7 these days. A lot of countries have been joining recently.

Another interesting fact is that "cake" comes from the old norse word "kaka". (proto Germanic kuohho). English are also eating shit 💩🎉

The image is overblown comparison but she wasn't that far left. She cut a lot of government spending and focused hard on fiscal responsibility with the debt brake. She's pretty much the reason why trains are not on time in Germany.

She also had to moderate the CDU/CSU position to form a coalition with SPD so there's no way to know if she would have done things differently with a CDU/CSU majority government.

But yeah, the picture implying nazi stuff is pretty far from her policies of pro immigration, inclusive economic growth and generally holding up democratic values.
