  • Russia uses nuclear threats to deter Western countries from supporting Ukraine and plans to revive the Soviet "nuclear winter" campaign later this year, Estonia says

    Jump

  • Yeah but now we've got a US admin that will pretend to believe it. This is theater for MAGA to justify themselves to the base while they do everything they can do break Ukraine.

  • Guy Who Ruined Buzzfeed With AI Now Says AI Is Bad, Launches New AI Platform

    Jump

  • On the one hand calling it AI is annoying, but on the other we've been calling video game NPC logic "AI" for as long as I can remember and no one thinks they're actually sapient. Surely we can get to that point with GenAI as well.

  • Democrats keep helping Trump confirm his abysmal nominees.

    Jump

  • Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ appear impartial, except it doesn't look like anyone cared.

    And the reality is, not only did no one care, it actually made the department partial to not prosecuting Trump for his many, many crimes, because according to these moronic, selfish, short-sighted, anti-American Republicans, it's not a crime when the president does it. Nixon toooootally should have finished his term without resigning, I'm sure no one would have convicted him :))))

  • Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence

    Jump

  • Oh they will, but in their performative crowing it won't be Tulsi they're blaming

  • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

    Jump

  • Probably just because there are no streets or landmarks there. I went through the "submit feedback" option, it took a screenshot of the Gulf, and let me submit with no issues

  • ‘They will collide eventually’: how long will the Trump-Musk relationship survive?

    Jump

  • No they won't. Even as self interested pricks, their interests overlap far too much for them to ever have a real fight. The richest man in the world paired with the (ostensibly) most powerful? They both want to weaken the power of average people, keep us uneducated, keep us too tired and sick and busy to question the status quo, and deregulate our economy. Their pairing is the most bald-faced bribery possible between corporate and political America, and they will never stop benefitting each other as long as people as self-absorbed as MAGA are in power.

  • How it feels being a linux geek: (Why yes, I do run Mint, BTW.)

    Jump

  • Absolute worst case scenario, you have to reinstall Windows, and that's really no harder than installing Linux in the first place. I don't think there's a situation where you'd wind up "stranded"

  • Seconding the person saying not to dual boot on a new partition. That was how I started with Linux like 10 years ago, and even then Windows would fuck up grub every time it updated and it took me ages to learn how to get boot into Linux again. Plus if you ever decide to ditch windows entirely, wiping that partition and adding it to the Linux one can be a pain in the ass.

    If all you have is a laptop and a dream, maybe that's the way. But if there are any other options...

  • I mean... It worked.

  • I'm no astrophysicist, but isn't it possible that's exactly what that asteroid field was in the process of doing? After all, there were several "big ones" for the Falcon to land on. Especially if there are some big collisions happening to keep all the rocks from aggregating smoothly, couldn't there be a grace period between "cloud of space dust" and "planet" where there could be a dense field of sizeable rocks? However unlikely, surely there's some scenario where it's at least possible

  • Vance tells Musk that DOGE staffer who resigned after posting racist tweets should be rehired

    Jump

  • These idiots all think they're immune. They might last longer than the rest of us, but in the end they'll wind up crushed just the same. Too bad if it gets that far there'll be no one left to feel the schadenfreude.

  • Trump tariffs could cost households $830 extra this year, study finds

    Jump

  • Idk why I keep seeing comments like this, as though blame is a limited resource. For sure blame Republicans for actually being fascists, obviously, but Democrats deserve it too. This endgame has been visible since at least the 90s, and was impossible to miss by the time of the Tea Party. Over a decade of trying to compromise with unmistakeable fascists is inexcusable. Democrats repeatedly run a campaign playbook that both loses elections and shifts our political norms rightward over and over. Even now I see no signs that the party is interested in change. Fuck em.

  • Trump imposes tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, raising prospect of higher costs for US consumers

    Jump

  • How does the President have such wide control over government spending when that’s supposed to be Congress’s constitutional responsibility?

    Because it's on Congress to push back when another branch oversteps its power, and more than half of it is actively cheering on the destruction of our society. I can't speak to whether we'll have free and fair midterms, but if we do, electing leftists to congress would be vital to stymieing the damage quickly.

    But, yeah, who knows. That'll take at least 2 years. MAGA has already done incalculable damage, and it's been 2 weeks.

    Oh God, so did I! I'm doing it right now! I'm going to jail!

  • Minor correction, most of them seem to think that voting at all is the issue. Can't imagine why they work so hard to depress voter turnout on left-leaning social media

  • Deleted

    The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

    Jump

  • The problem becomes even more stark if you assume parties A and C win 25% and 26%. Heck, let's make B even more unpopular with a 34-35-31 split. There is an incredible amount of movement required to make a new party dominant and competitive in our fucked up system.

  • Stop Treating Phone Numbers As A Digital ID

    Jump

  • Lucky you. I've been letting calls from any number I don't recognize go to voicemail for years and nothing ever seems to change.

  • Maybe someday

  • Whatever the reason, navigating that is still more complicated than navigating Lemmy or Mastodon
