  • Trump’s bizarre letter to Norway’s prime minister in full

    Jump

  • America democratically elected this chud. His moves appear to be about creating some sort of legacy that we'll all look back on fondly one day. He craves a peace prize and when it doesn't arrive he proceeds to threaten the committee. Delusional doesn't come close to explaining this pathology.

  • i'm sure glad i have the legal system

    Jump

  • Not sure the judge had that in mind when sentencing but for some people prison is preferable to homelessness.

  • It's dinner time, and you have to put together a meal with only ingredients already in your house, no going out for anything. What are you making?

    Jump

  • Crack cocaine souffle

  • Europe Has a New Plan to Break Free from US Tech Dominance

    Jump

  • Who would have thought that populating walled gardens and other enshitified services is a terrible idea?

    One of the fundamental problems is that our leadership is becoming increasingly illiterate in technology. In order to leverage the economies of scale for large systems we need to either content ourselves with enshitified corporate solutions or enable collectivised approaches. Wikipedia is an excellent example of this, more of that please.

  • At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do?

    Jump

  • Light em up

  • Scott Adams, ‘Dilbert’ Creator, Dies at 68 (from prostate cancer)

    Jump

  • Rest in piss

  • This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars

    Jump

  • What a bastard. Consider the plight of the multinational corporation. They are ashen faced in the C-suite mumbling lamentations, 'number go down' and 'shareholder value'.

  • Is this true for Germans?

    Jump

  • The logical evolution is Carpet Bagger.

  • TIL that when Americans migrate from violent states, the risk of future violence follows them

    Jump

  • America is a warrior nation. What they call news is actually fear mongering twaddle. Their heroic archetypes in film solve problems with violence. The state itself increasingly behaves like a robber baron. They are obsessed with weapons. School shootings are but one grotesque outcome of this pathology but however disgusting those events are, gun ownership is ubiquitous. It's a society that would destroy itself rather than admit it's wrong.

  • Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret

    Jump

  • I don't think a physical SIM is a guarantee that the phone number remains intact. The SIM is a token in the system that links a piece of hardware to a phone number and that link is maintained by the carrier. My phone spontaneously stopped being able to make calls and receive SMS. I went through the usual steps to rectify it but no dice. The carrier had to manually reconnect my number because it had become a victim of their periodic cull of disused numbers. Took quite a few calls over a period days to achieve this. 'yes I have turned it off and on...' ad nauseum.

  • A majority of Australians support banning pro-Palestine marches

    Jump

  • Boooooooo

  • Paedophile teacher who had sex with two boys is struck off

    Jump

  • Real smooth, like the cha-cha

  • Nigersaurus - Tall long-necked dinosaur that eats fruits and plants

    Jump

  • It's a racist dinosaur, what more do you want?

  • What are historically medicines found an opposite use for? Like Viagra being a heart pill but now a boner pill. Or Ozempic being a diabetic drug but now pretty much used for weight loss?

    Jump

  • Wasn't ozempic also indicated for alcohol addiction? I know that amphetamine and related compounds are indicated for weight loss and attention deficit. Seems like whenever we create a psychoactive drug it is a blunt instrument that has multiple side effects.

  • Ultra Instinct driving

    Jump

  • Subconscious has been deprecated in favour of unconscious.

    The conscious part of any given activity is what we think of as the source of free will but it's not certain how free that part is. I've had experiences where I don't know who is deciding the actions I'm taking. When we become aware of a thought, what is the origin of it?

  • What are some fun hobbies to do as someone with autism?

    Jump

  • What are you good at and what do you like doing? If you have a mind for logic and systems then programming is an endless source of puzzles to solve. If you like working with your hands, metalwork or woodwork. If you appreciate beauty, arts and crafts. If you are very physical, sports. If you don't know, try them all.

  • One or the either. Or neither. Or both.

    Jump

  • I think the level of noise filtering is lower in ADHD brains. It can lead to over-stimulation which means missing things and fatigue but a well rested ADHD person will tend to notice more than a NT. Being insensitive to the passage of time also gives the impression that we don't care about meetings and are forgetful. Letting go of that has been a blessed relief.

  • SpaceX Is Buying Up an Unfathomable Number of Cybertrucks

    Jump

  • That's a creative use for the state handout that he receives for spacex, propping up the shareholders.

  • 'LeBron James of spreadsheets' wins world Microsoft Excel title

    Jump

  • Excel was developed as a quasi accounting tool for keeping track of basic numerical data. Presumably it gained popularity with small businesses and within corporations. The way it's used currently goes way beyond the original scope. I've personally met many people using it for PhD research and engineering, which is a testament to the versatility of the design but also, wtf.
