  • Putin thinks he can outsmart the US during Ukraine peace talks, a European intelligence chief says

  • Sloth from the Goonies could outsmart the current administration, let's be honest.

  • 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town

    Jump

  • I absolutely agree. I wasn't trying to defend the company's practice. Just explaining why they make those kind of decisions.

  • It absolutely sucks, but from a company perspective it's not about greed, it's about legal liability. If they provide food to a charity and someone gets sick from it, they are responsible for it. So the legal danger of giving away your "close to be expired" food is fraught with corporate danger.

    Does it suck. Yes. Absolutely. But Joe opened them up to a potential lawsuit.

  • Trump threatens to bar the new US-Canada bridge from opening, demands talks with Ottawa

    Jump

  • Which bridge are we talking about? Is it the soon to be renamed 'Epstein-Trump Memorial Bridge'?

  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • Whoops. Thanks for the catch.

  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • That's fair and all, and I see your point. A 100% "fair" phone is the end-goal.

    Butin the battle against corporate douche-baggery, if we keep making perfect the enemy of good, we'll never get anywhere.

  • /e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

    I switched to e/os on a couple of motorolas that supported it and it's great so far.

    The comparisons to GrapheneOS are fair to some degree, but also not. Graphene is meant to be privacy and security hardened, whereas e/OS, while it is more secure than regular android, is more concerned with privacy hardening. The biggest misconception people have seems to be thinking that privacy and security are the same thing; and while that is true on the surface level, security (a la GrapheneOS) goes much deeper.

    So while my phone may not be as "hack resistant" as a GrapheneOS, it's degoogled and very protective of tracking, which is what I'm primarily concerned with. So I'm happy.

    I just wish I could afford a fairphone in Canada.

  • What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

    Jump

  • But that's exactly the point. That would be what people who vote would look for in a local election. What's this politicians stance on spending money on ageing infrastructure. (For example)

    We're not saying its "progressive" or "conservative" just that everything is political at the end of that day.

  • What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

    Jump

  • Indirectly, yes. How is the infrastructure of your town/city maintained. Is it falling apart or is it in good condition. Do the richer neighbourhoods coincidentally see more city workers updating their plumbing while you sometimes have to flush twice to get it all down because of unmaintained pipes, and are therefore paying a higher water bill as a result?

    These are all political decisions.

  • we still voted, which means we needed to consider and learn and understand...

    I feel like that particular voting strategy is long dead in the U.S. and Canada. Knowledge?! Who needs it?!

  • Marilyn Monroe tries archery. Photo by Anthony Beauchamp, 1951.

    Jump

  • Good lord. People can talk a lot of shit about changing body standards, and how Marilyn would be overweight by today's standards and all that crap, but you know what? She's fucking timeless. She was and forever will be one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

  • When the quiet part comes out...

    Jump

  • your on a Canadian board remember

    That would be because I'm Canadian. And no, that's not bitching and moaning, that's rightfully pointing out that while Ukraine and Gaza are living in demolished homes and unheated homes without electricity because they're fighting fascists, Americans won't do anymore more than performative marching because it might mean they lose their creature comforts and shiny toys.

    The country is already in a civil war. But only one side is fighting it. And that's why the body count is on their side.

  • When the quiet part comes out...

    Jump

  • Who says I'm not angry? You don't know me.

    Bitching and moaning on a website isn't productive. Going out a filming a weekend protest on the brand new iPhone you purchased that week isn't productive. It's literally the epitome of what this guy was talking about. The addiction to ephemeral trivialities.

    You protest Trump and yell your slogans about Epstein and in the end it does nothing because the people you SHOULD be targetting is the oligarchs and billionaires that pay him.

    Trump is just another distraction from the root of the problem; another rage-bait to keep you distracted.

    Until we are dragging billionaires into the streets en-mass, your protests mean precisely fuck-all. But anything more than just marching with a sign would require putting people's creature comforts at risk, and that's anathema in the west.

  • Except that they're not wrong. Whoever this Jes Stanley is, back in 2014 he read the metaphorical room perfectly. Western culture will put up with anything as long as they keep getting shiny new toys every year.

  • Do you think intergalactic travel will ever be possible?

    Jump

  • Me fail english!? That's unpossible!

  • Do you think intergalactic travel will ever be possible?

    Jump

  • Technically yes, but also no.

    At least not casually; flying between star systems at will, faster than light between star systems, etc...

    I'm sure at some point, if scientists confirm the habitibility of a world orbiting a star relatively nearby, some group or other would probably get a Generation Ship concept going and head out. Musk or some other fucking billionaire looking for a world to conquer. So technically that is interstellar travel, but not really as it's just a one way point to point, not a taxi service.
