BBC Says “Unprecedented Funding Challenge” Lies Ahead As Content Spend Set To Fall By $200M in c/Television@lemm.ee
[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I just wish there were a legal way to stream BBC content (i.e. iPlayer) outside the UK. I'd gladly pay the licence fee (as a non-resident) or more, to be able to watch all their content without having to grub around on a million different services.

Whether there'd be enough people in the same boat to be able to make up a $200M shortfall, I don't know, but it seems like it could be a pretty big untapped market.

Britain issues travel warning for US in c/world@lemmy.world

First time I ever went there (1997) I landed at Boston Logan Airport, and a guy in plain clothes, but with a gun, stopped everyone who was departing the plane and repeatedly yelled out "American citizens this way, foreigners line up against the wall!".

I never once felt safe going there, and was always relieved when I got out alive. Decided a few years ago that I'll never set foot in the US again.

[Social Engineering] My Scammer Girlfriend: Baiting A Romance Fraudster. in c/cybersecurity@infosec.pub

Agreed!

Not the first time I've read through one of these scam-baiting articles and I'm sure it won't be the last. It's quite fascinating how they work.

Sales of US goods 'rapidly dropping' at Canadian grocery stores in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip

Canadians are buying fewer products made in the U.S. in an effort to brace for the impact of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which are set to cause prices to skyrocket across a range of products.

It has nothing to do with bracing for the tariffs. It's because Fuck The USA.
