  • Elon Musk says he has formed a new U.S. political party, the 'America Party'

    Jump

  • that one dude who wore the hoodie and had the stroke and then turned out to be fucking insane

    I hate this timeline. Living across the Pacific, I actually know about Fetterman.

    An Australian shouldn't know the names of so many American politicians. But it's hard when y'all are trying to out-crazy each other every second day.

    I couldn't even name our current speaker of the house, yet I can identify Mike Johnson whenever his mug shows up in the news. This is truly the dumbest timeline.

  • What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

    Jump

  • It's hilarious that they say

    Swiss made nail clipper with two functions

    Followed by not mentioning what the other function is...

  • ‘Explosive increase’ of ticks that cause meat allergy in US due to climate crisis

    Jump

  • Forget the alpha male; this is the year of alpha-gal.

  • 'Time for action': Republicans beg Trump to use obscure law to deport Democratic candidate

    Jump

  • I miss r/beholdthemasterrace from the other place. Someone should create a community on the fedi.

  • Tesla robotaxi incidents caught on camera in Austin draw regulators' attention

    Jump

  • You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning

    Jump

  • Yes. IIRC it's based on latest LTS kernel with Google patches. So it's been "year of the Linux phone" for a while now.

    It's unfortunate that the slop they put on top of it is such a privacy nightmare. PostmarketOS is trying to change that and supports Plasma, Gnome, etc. But it's early days yet and still rough around the edges from what I've been reading.

  • The cell wall is the wall of the cell.

    Jump

  • Eh, it can work with artificial light. I'll just convert my gaming room to a grow house.

  • It was by mistake

    Jump

  • The was an article the other day about a surge in pizza shop activities around the Pentagon hours before the attack.

    Also a gay bar nearby reporting unusually low patronage that night.

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • I'm going to have to kindly disagree on some points about manuals.

    1. Manuals are still popular in Europe and many parts of the world, on all levels of cars.
    2. I have a friend with a cheap(ish) Suzuki Swift that comes with manual transmission and adaptive cruise. Yeah it won't change your gears, but still makes interstate trips much more comfortable.

    I myself now prefer to drive auto, after moving to a city known for its traffic jam, and I am inherently lazy. So that's one good argument from me.

    Another is that if you injure one of your foot, there's a 50% you can still drive your auto. Which was really handy that one time I dislocated my left ankle. In a manual, that chance is 0%.

    TIL Leonardo da Vinci designed flying machines, armored tanks, and a robot in the 15th century—centuries before their time. His notebooks reveal ideas far ahead of the world he lived in.

  • Decades ago I had the pleasure of marking student essays. We humans have mastered writing vague, repetitive slop long before we taught machines to do so..

  • 'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft

    Jump

  • "We're done with Teams!" he said, referring to Microsoft's messaging and collaboration tool and speaking on a video call -- via an open-source German program, of course.

    The article didn't elaborate much, but I'm sure there are other articles that will point us to a link to the source.

  • The two-frame test

    Jump

  • And the person has waay too many benches to last ten lifetimes. And yet, instead of using the benches to help people needing benches to sleep on, they choose to use it to trip kids.

  • 700 Marines ordered to assist in Los Angeles

    Jump

  • Huh. I always thought homonyms need to both sound the same (homophone) and spelt the same (homograph). But a quick search showed they could be either.

    My whole life has been a lie.

  • The Four Fucks System

    Jump

  • I love English. Where "fuck it" (let's do it) and "fuck this" (walk away) have completely opposite meanings.

  • the beautiful code

    Jump

  • Hello, fellow old person 🤝

  • the beautiful code

    Jump

  • They have been pretty good on popular technologies like python & web development.

    I tried to do Kotlin for Android, and they kept tripping over themselves; it's hilarious and frustrating at the same time.

  • How can children be introduced to digital technology and the internet in a playful way? At what age is this appropriate? And how can this be done without exposing children to all the negative aspects?

    Jump

  • Also turn off the adblocker at some point. Kids gotta learn what's an ad and what's not.

    And install Windows while you're at it. Ransomware builds character.

  • What's your method of enjoying (or at least tolerating) physical exercise?

    Jump

  • The chronic pain relief by itself was enough to keep me motivated. Asthma, joint pains (hypermobility sucks!), etc are now down to manageable levels – if not completely gone.

    And yeah, I don't enjoy it and sometimes look for excuses to slack off. And right on cue, my knee pain starts flaring up after a couple weeks. Followed by the rest of the body.

  • More like keep hitting f2 furiously

    Jump

  • On unfamiliar machines, I just faceroll over the function keys hoping to hit the right one..
