  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

  • I say that Emma Stone should divorce her husband and marry me instead.

  • Steven Fulop, the Mayor of Jersey City. He is smarter than the average american politician.

  • Their true crime is "existing while brown".

  • GOP senator who said trans people put girls at "risk" just helped a relative who raped a 13-year-old - LGBTQ Nation

    Jump

  • Anybody who shits on trans people "for the children" or "for the women" should be viewed with suspicion.

    They're saying that because the only reason they can fathom that people would transition is to assault women and children. The fact that that's where their mind goes says much more about them than about trans people.

  • Society is getting sick of selfish "Conservative values"

  • "The threat of actual, literal death is the only way we can coerce people into working."

  • Let's say you are teaching a basic, 1-hour-long class to the general public about privacy and general tech hygiene. What kinds of topics would you include?

    Jump

  • It really depends how basic and how "general public" we're talking. At work I've had multiple people email me their credit card details in plaintext. That might fall into the "beyond help" category.

    A few points I think are important:

    • Use an adblocker
    • Use a password manager
    • Don't connect things to the internet that don't need to be connected to the internet
    • If it needs to be connected to the internet, keep it up-to-date

    I think that covers the basics without impacting convenience too much. While I personally think that your TV is something that doesn't need to be connected to the internet, I imagine most laypeople wouldn't agree with me and do it anyway.

  • While this article has some good points, it really is sad, and kind of ironic, that the first paragraph of it is bullshit clickbait that completely undermines the rest of the text.

  • A tale as old as time. Banning media you don't like is a lot easier than parenting your children.

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

    Jump

  • ...if you think delivery is too expensive, maybe don't get your food delivered, then? Just a thought.

  • Any game featuring most kinds of animal, including people, is evidence that sex occurred. We should ban those too.

  • Another help me choose a distro

    Jump

  • arch seems the coolest, with Wayland, kde, hyperland customization

    While I have no experience with Unreal Engine, so I can't give an informed recommendation, I just figured I'd point out that you can do this with every distro

  • Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after proving ‘innocence’

  • 20% of american buyers are spending over $1000 a month on car loans. 22.4% of new loans were 84 months or longer. It means someone who buys a car today will be paying it off until July of 2032

    Jump

  • Are movies and TV shows really accurate when it comes to American attitudes towards cars? I remember watching something where a character lamented how old their 5-year-old car was. This simply does not compute to me. My mortgage is less than the equivalent of $1000 USD a month - I'd much rather have an "old" car.

  • When I was in high school I used to bike practically everywhere.

    A few years ago I got a bike again in the hopes that using it would improve my health. Despite still living in the same city I now felt so unsafe on the road that I sold it after a few months.

  • What websites search function do you hate most?

    Jump

  • I work in ecommerce, so the answer is "ours". I get far too many calls saying "Do you sell x", or "How much is y", and because of how terrible our website's search function is, I can't just say "use the fucking website, that's what it's there for" like I desperately want to.

  • WhatsApp messaging app banned on all US House of Representatives devices

  • We all know they use Signal, anyway.

  • What browser are you using?

    Jump

  • I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

    I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

  • Custom ROMs were always a pretty niche thing, and they've become much less worth it since:

    Stock Android doesn't suck as much as it used to

    Banking Apps aren't guaranteed to work

    VoLTE doesn't work (this might depend on phone model)

    Most manufacturers now offer software support for a reasonable length of time

    So unless there's an old feature you want to keep (LG Quad DAC diehards represent), or you're super privacy-conscious, most people aren't going to bother.
