Thanks for providing a name, that finally gave me something to Google.

Apparently he's a British actor though, but starred pretty much only in US productions.

Of all the movies he played in, I've only watched Home Alone 2 where he was the nosey concierge in the hotel, but I didn't recognize him.

Edit: Now that I look again and imagine him without beard, it's getting more obvious. Still never knew he's famous.

Neither is cool since the pride flag has only 4 stones per row, so extending red to cross 5 instead wouldn't be great either.

The light blue strip on the left just stops without transitioning like the rest. Bugs me even more.

I trust the Lemmy developers enough to use their platform hosted on external servers despite them being Marxist clowns, but I wouldn't self host without a thorough code review.

And I'm seriously just waiting for a decent piefed app in order to ditch the platform altogether. So far voyager is the most functionally complete one, but doesn't look very appealing.

...explain please?

Is that fully functional, and works with mainstream apps?

I'm in my 40s and don't know that guy. Is it some obscure American reference?

Nah I left reddit 2 years ago, and never moderated anything.

Oi. I'm taking that personal!

They were essentially destroying the domestic market in a ruinous competition, and drove some established manufacturers to the verge of bankruptcy. And automotive in China is one of the largest industries, with a lot of manpower involved. The economy is already struggling, they'd have a hard time dealing with mass unemployment on top.

Their profit is dropping because the Chinese government forbade them to sell unused cars from past overproductions as "used" with 1km down at a 30% discount, so now they have to expand to other countries aggressively which is rather costly.
