  • ICE Shoots Minneapolis Observer in the head

    Jump

  • I downloaded both of them from YouTube and reddit before they get taken down like on bluesky.

    Anyone know where I can reliably post them that they will stay up?

  • Board Votes To Dissolve Corporation For Public Broadcasting After Loss Of Federal Funding

    Jump

  • So instead everyone got genocide x2, shortly maybe will be x3 of oil companies pull a Venezuelan banana republic: electric boogaloo, and a significantly worse economy with not only no reforms, but significant change in the opposite direction, siphoning orders of magnitude more money away from the working class than the status quo.

    Plus you get the dissolution of unions and stripping workers of any power they have.

    Plus you get out-in-the-open media centralization to become out and out propaganda machines bought and paid for by corruption and dissolution of the last remnents of independent media.

    Plus you get kidnapping citizens in the streets by faceless, nameless, badgeless enforcers.

    Plus you get government-sponsored lynchings

    Plus you get, nationwide, women getting sick, hurt, and dying because doctors aren't allowed to treat them anymore

    Plus you get multiple very corrupt white collar criminals set completely free with no consequences

    Plus you get the near-total neutering of all health and disease research and public health policies

    Plus you get the complete decimation of US aid to countries in need that was not through on an imperialist military

    Plus you get people dying of hunger and homeless people and immigrants being arrested and used for slave labor.

    Plus you get people who aren't fascists labelled as terrorist groups, arrested, and threatened

    Plus you get persecution of transgender people

    Plus you get pedophile government oligarchs literally out in the open human trafficking instead of behind closed doors.

    Great trade off there. You guys really sent the correct message and voted to make the world a better place.

  • Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

    Jump

  • On the bright side, this change has been around for 9 months at least because they had already changed it when I was doing IT stuff at my last job and it was impossible to find where to actually download the office suite.

  • European phones - Choose for youself

    Jump

  • But in actual reality, a good quality USB dongle (like apple's for example) there is little to no hearable or measurable difference. Hell, over on reddit, someone just did a casual blind test again with a few audiophile friends and they all failed.

    Every blind test done in the past decade has proven this over and over and over again.

    Audio is extremely easy with modern ICs. You can get DAC ICs for 2-3€ that sounds the same as DACs products for 200€. We are reaching terahertz DACs now. Gigahertz DACs are established. <100kHz can be perfectly recreated now cheaply and in a tiny footprint.

    Volume, sure, they won't necessarily drive 600Ohm headphones loud enough, but that is an AMP problem, not a DAC problem.

    (Though this is even more reason that an on-board phone DAC is ridiculously easy and there is no need for removing the headphone jack)

  • European phones - Choose for youself

    Jump

  • Yep, also. That is the more "business/financial" term I think.

  • European phones - Choose for youself

    Jump

  • Yes. It is a Chinese company with american investors with non-technical jobs in the UK to be able to claim "UK company" for marketing.

    Their electronics are designed only in China, the devices are programmed only in China, their software is developed in China their technical job postings are all in China for years, their CEO ran a previous Chinese owned brand (lying/misleading about the company back then too) and has worked in the Chinese phone industry for 15 years.

    Their CMF line and wearables lines are all ODM'ed through various Chinese companies (for those not aware, OEM is where something is designed by a company and manufactured by another where ODM is where everything is designed by another company and the branded company just gives requirements and some input, I worked previously for an ODM kind of company) and are generic widely-available hardware marked up for brand name recognition.

    Their marketing is in the UK, that's about it.

  • European phones - Choose for youself

    Jump

  • Lol a UK company with 0% of their product made in the UK, it is literally just a marketing office.

  • BREAKING: Death toll from US operation in Venezuela has risen to 80, according to New York Times report.

    Jump

  • They don't even prosecute foreign war criminals, much less their own. US Nuremberg trails had a <0.2% conviction rate for identified war criminals lol. Less than 1% of "major war criminals".

    Criminal cops are paid instead of convicted.

    There is 0 hope for any justice at all for these people unless the entire US government gets overthrown or something just as drastic.

  • What are good options for self hosting home security camera?

    Jump

  • Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

    Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.

  • PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"

    Jump

  • In heroic, you can add the game and while adding it, click "run installer first" and then install the EXE and copy whatever cracks needed. I needed to do that with a few games that are literally not available anymore on stores.

    Lutris had been so janky for me the past 10 years and many of the installer scripts literally don't install any dependencies anyways that I switched to heroic last year and I no longer have games that work completely fine and then next launch they don't work.

  • Bye Bye Big Tech: How I Migrated to an almost All-EU Stack (and saved 500€ per year)

    Jump

  • Yes, but for driving (by a gigantic margin used way more than hiking, biking, and walking) organic maps/comaps is quite shit. In Belgium, I absolutely cannot trust it to get me to a destination I am unfamiliar with because of the policy of openstreetmaps of updating extremely infrequently and encouraging contributors not to report any road closures that last less than 6 months or whatever.

    Not to mention that it doesn't take reported road condition into account when routing so it will send you on tiny cobblestone roads where you have to drive 30 instead of 50 to save 10 seconds theoretically by going to a main road and continually route you via u-turns back to that tiny shitty road instead of choosing a better route when you pass it.

    Even without any traffic data (so you never know approximately when you will arrive), it very often just not get you where you need to go. It is like using a GPS from 2005.

  • Bazzite has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳

    Jump

  • For some things.

    For many things it isn't. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.

  • How do you do purchases online / offline?

    Jump

  • Most "privacy guides" like that literally just shift trust from one party to another.

    Banks are starting to have temporary credit card numbers themselves for a purchase. It depends if you want "privacy" or "anonymity" as it seems like the person in the video wants the second.

    Nowadays there are precious few actually private or anonymous email providers themselves. Maybe Posteo or Tuta? But I don't know their audit history with leaking metadata or handing over logs and information when asked.

    Honestly I have accepted that if I have to buy online, there is always a paper trail. Buy in-store in cash when possible, use second hand websites in your area. It is better for the environment too. Anything digital will have a paper trail that can always be de-anonymized with enough effort.

    All my electronics hobby stuff I have to buy online and I just do this with my normal credit card, especially since they have export controls in many distributors and if you get caught using fake credentials they will likely blanket blacklist you as someone trying to bypass export controls and use medical/consumer sensors and devices for weapons, against the companies' restrictions.

  • An almost inexhaustible reserve of lithium discovered in Canada

    Jump

  • Wasn't the last time a Canadian company discovered an "inexhaustable supply" of some mineral it was a gold scam that was one of the biggest mining industry scams in history that scammed people out of their pensions?

    Please, I would like to see chain-of-custody third party samples before jumping to conclusions.

    US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack

    Jump

  • Since 1981 the large decline began. Like 80% of bad policies and shitting on the working class in america can be traced back to the 80s.. I wonder what happened then.

    Kamala would just have been a party line corporate puppet like Obama 2.0. But undoubtedly 100x better than trump.

  • Hamas calls on Israel to allow impartial investigation into 7 October attacks

    Jump

  • It's funny because

    1. Israel has been funding Hamas (Bibi himself has spoken multiple times about it) for many years, giving them the equipment to do October 7th.
    2. Israel activated the hannibal directive according to their own (now former) defense minister on a live TV interview which means that on October 7th, many many many of the civilians and IDF soldiers that died were deliberately killed by the IDF themselves.
    3. It takes 45 minutes to fly from end to end by helicopter. Many Israeli official has refused to deny that there was a stand down order, but the army was not deployed at all until hours and hour and hours later, when they could have driven with tanks there and back again multiple times, with an army of 165,000 in a country the size of new jersey, outnumbering them 28:1 with 100x the equipment on home turf (by Israels massively inflated numbers too)
    4. Some of the Israeli hostages were not tortured in prison with Hama's by their own tongues, but were then raped when she got back to Israel. Meanwhile Palestinian hostages are tortured daily for decades, eyes gouged out, as well as gang raped and raped by trained rottweilers by Israeli forces, and civilian Israeli doctors don't report on it, but instead enable it.

    As far as anyone should be concerned. Israel funded, executed their own attack of their own civilians, and enabled it by standing down as well as treated their own civilian hostages they took (and continue taking) 10x worse.

  • And by "tending to last longer" it is good to note that it almost always lasts 5x-10x longer, as in you only need to charge it once a month instead of every few days with medium reading, depending on backlight usage.

    When I only read a few pages a day because of my schedule, my battery lasts over 6 months easily. Meanwhile my unused iPad has to be charged every week or so even if it is used 0 minutes.
