  • It's effectively an alternative to plain CSS. Works well with component-based systems like React and Svelte.

    I used it for a few years and thought it was pretty good. I still use it on some of my projects.

  • I don't know why people are saying a 200km range is bad. Most people I know don't drive more than 25km to work per day. Surely even 100km is perfectly fine for a daily driver.

    My brother had an 80km range car for years and was perfectly fine.

    Is it just that it's not competitive at this price?

  • The trick is to not allow people to get that rich. Sharing should not be voluntary at those levels.

    Jews Are NOT Oppressed: The Myth of Systemic Antisemitism

    Jump

  • I should have read the article before commenting. The title is a little misleading / click-baity but I guess that's to be expected in the modern climate.

    The content you've quoted seems reasonable. It more or less aligns with my limited knowledge on the matter. It's not my area of expertise.

    Jews Are NOT Oppressed: The Myth of Systemic Antisemitism

    Jump

  • Two things can be true. Antisemitism can be broadly present, and criticism of Israel can be legitimate.

    That said, those crying about antisemitism nowadays are often close friends with closeted antisemites or authoritarians who just happen to support Israel for weird Christian or financial reasons.

  • "I just don't talk politics" before giving you their Andrew Tate take

    Jump

  • Real talk, it's what I used to put in my profile maybe 2 years ago.

    I didn't watch the news much, I had always stayed out of the discourse and I had refused to apply a 1-dimensional label to my beliefs.

    Put plainly, I was privileged enough that politics rarely affected me directly, and I think until recently there were a lot of people like that.

    One day in 2023, I took a political alignment test and found out I was a democratic socialist and it just so happened I was living in one (UK). Hence why I never felt the need to mess with things.

    Of course, no country is perfect, and as I met more people, especially trans and disabled people, I discovered that there was a lot of terrible shit going on in my country and that's where I finally got my awakening. I also started watching more political YouTube.

    Since then, I've veered slightly further left I'm involved in advocacy and I'm proud to wear the "Left" label as someone who cares for others and believes we can all do better.

    I still believe that left and right are a bit reductive, but I understand now that it's more like the more of the things you believe in, the further on that axis you go. For example, the UK's Green Party is bringing together some conservative environmentalists with leftist progressives in their interests to keep our green spaces and maintain traditional trades and crafts.

    Anyway, the point is some "non-political" people are just sheltered. That said, you have to be extremely sheltered in the US to not experience the upheaval currently happening.

  • Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI

    Jump

  • Good article with many links to other interesting articles. Acts like a good summary for the situation this year.

    I didn't know about the MAHA thing, but I guess I'm not surprised. It's hard to know how much is incompetence and idiocy and how much is malicious.

  • Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI

  • That's a much better sourced article and an interesting read, thanks.

  • What is this website used as a source?

    It doesn't have sources, an about page, contact page or even proper navigation. Is it some sort of blog?

    Edit: I managed to manually navigate to their about page using the URL, and all the images there are badly AI generated, the content is meaningless.

    I don't trust news sources that are not transparent, provide information about themselves or use AI for key resources. Even if I agree with the stance in their articles.

    For all I know, all of the content of the article is made up.

    • Complaining about poor people.
    • Pushing snake oil.

    I agree with the author that it is a microcosm of 2025 and the mainstream right at the moment.

  • I wonder why he would demand only democrat names would be revealed. Seems awfully odd to turn this into a party thing, when everyone should want to clear their parties of pedophiles...

    Right?

  • Nationwide Trans Youth Care Ban Incoming As Trump Admin Announces "Nuclear Option" Federal Rule

  • The Cass Report is transphobic and not based on science. Many of its cited sources are opinion pieces by people with little-to-no scientific background. They also actively excluded subject matter experts from the board.

    The Cass Review is a national embarrassment and many in a long line of trying to get rid of trans people.

    Gender affirming care is medicine, and it saves lives, money and hardship. Children being banned from using puberty blockers means they then need to reverse their puberty in adulthood using surgeries that were avoidable. These surgeries, while technically covered by the NHS, have a waiting list of 10 years and often require going through conversion therapy to attain. Instead, many trans people face the financial burden of spending 10s of thousands of pounds on correct surgeries abroad or at home under private health care

    The system in the UK is broken and only getting worst, and I wouldn't blame trans children and adults for seeking asylum out of the UK and US right now.
