  • Wubuntu: The lovechild of Windows and Linux nobody asked for

    Jump

  • Years ago I got my parents to switch from internet explorer to firefox by putting IE's icon over firefox...this has the same vibes. If you have someone technologically illiterate in your life who pretty much only uses the browser...yeah this idea could work.

  • Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

    Jump

  • I think if they catch him they sort of have to. It's up to the police to drag their heels investigating if they want to avoid that.

    It will be interesting to see if jury nullification comes into play if he gets caught and there is a trial. Would at least 1/12 jurors refuse to convict despite the law? The main facebook post about the CEO's death has a 26-1 ratio of laughing emoji to crying emoji...

  • Microsoft closes the door on Windows 11 supporting older hardware

    Jump

  • I think they also prevent most CPU released before 2017ish from installing as well so computers just missing the proper TPM are few and far between anyway. You can still get around all the requirements pretty easily though.

  • Top House Democrat calls on Biden to pardon ‘working-class Americans’

    Jump

  • Why are people acting like this is too difficult? Biden doesn't have to go through every file himself. Form a small committee of legal experts you respect and take a bite out of what you can.

  • U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid unprecedented cyberattack

    Jump

  • Hear me out, maybe we should update pots and sms to have optional end-to-end encryption for modern implementations as well...Optional as backwards compatible and clearly shown as unencrypted when used that way to be clear.

  • Open source router firmware project OpenWrt ships its own entirely repairable hardware

    Jump

  • President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden

    Jump

  • Hunter individually didn't really deserve a pardon for tax offenses but I can understand it. Hopefully since we're going full fuck it mode with presidential powers Biden can do something much more deserving of the powers like removing marijuana as a controlled substance and pardoning non-violent marijuana felons.

  • Tesla Is Looking to Hire a Team to Remotely Control Its 'Self-Driving' Robotaxis

    Jump

  • Waymo is doing the same. Mostly self-driving but when they get stuck a human at a help center takes the sticks. There are a lot of edge cases in the real world so it makes sense to just have the car programmed to be very conservative and let a human deal with it.

  • The message to Democrats is clear: you must dump neoliberal economics

    Jump

  • I guess it doesn't matter at this point but it's always weird to me that opponents can't seem to acknowledge that Trump is a formidable political opponent. He's good at talking to and engaging some groups of Americans which is why he managed to win twice.

  • Penguin hole

  • TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.

  • Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will

    Jump

  • Basic economics was not a required class in my high school. Macro and Micro Economics were both electives.

  • Greece stopped by 24-hour general strike over cost of living

    Jump

  • Government really should be building housing themselves though and working on the zoning laws to make building easier. Even in a free market the government should be a competitor driving prices down to fair levels.

    Measures like rent control don't work because landlords are greedy. People end up staying in locations that don't fit them anymore for the rent control, landlords try to chase those tenants away and don't improve the property, new housing stops being developed and supply/demand get wrecked.

    Measures like stimulus and tax rebates for first time buyers tends to increase the cost of real estate as well. It's called a demand subsidy and generally isn't a great way to tackle a supply problem. The individual home buyers will be helped at the expense of tax payer money and real estate cost - and the types of homes being bought aren't necessarily the best use of land either depending.

    Restricting companies from bulk purchasing and holding real estate seems like a good idea but again when you remove that new housing, especially multi-tenant housing, stops being built. Supply goes down prices shoot up...unless of course the government is willing to personally finance and build out the supply and keep prices fair.

  • Manhattan D.A. Suggests Freezing Trump Hush-Money Case While He Is President

    Jump

  • Honestly I don't want to give him more incentive to go full dictator by dangling a prison sentence over his head the moment he stops being president. They botched all these cases by waiting too long.

  • Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says

    Jump

  • Most of the reporters I follow for sports/news have joined bluesky but not mastodon. At this point I think Bluesky is going to win the bulk of twitter exodus in the end and Mastodon will remain extremely niche.

  • Three-quarters of U.S. adults are now overweight or obese

    Jump

  • I wonder how recent semaglutide (ozempic, wegovy, etc) will affect this. It's just come into mainstream recently and it seems like it actually does have positive outcomes for weight loss and addiction. When availability increases and eventual price comes down with patent expiration in the next decade we might see a huge change in this data.

  • What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)

    Jump

  • Use a butane insert. Still refillable but it's sealed in well enough to last years of infrequent use.

    Trump win means ‘time has come’ to annex parts of West Bank, Israeli minister says

    Jump

  • The "people" bringing it up nonstop on social media might have been state actors or trolls but there were plenty of real people who followed the movement. They're still "But Gaza!" people regardless of how the idea that they should abstain from voting got into their head.

  • Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed

    Jump

  • Biden is going to be looked back upon extra fondly after the upcoming shit show we're about to go through.
