  • Tim Walz calls Viktor Orbán a dictator. For JD Vance, he’s a role model.

  • “Hungary, strong country. Run by a very powerful, tough leader. He’s a tough guy. The press doesn’t like him because he’s tough. Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, very tough man,” Trump said in his speech.

    This almost gave me a brain aneurysm. It's like the orange doofus takes two words and scrambles it in a random sequence of sentences while being incapable of adding extra information.

  • One and done: Michael Phelps calls for a lifetime ban for anyone who's caught doping

    Jump

  • I believe in the Sun Tzu method. You are allowed to fuck up once. Fuck up again, off with the head (well, or a lifetime ban in this case). One and done would ruin too many careers with false positives or people that made a youthful fuck up.

  • Dutch toilets

    Jump

  • My shits at my grandma's would've been more comfy had I known this. I was always worried it wouldn't flush (which happened on occasion).

  • The punctuality of trains in Europe

    Jump

  • In Belgium trains are considered on time when up to a 6 minute delay, but what really schews the statistics is that cancelled trains are not counted. Even so, the number in this overview is completely incorrect. It was 87,5% on time in 2023.

  • One-third of Ukrainians would give up land for peace – but it’s not as simple as that.

    Jump

  • Ehm, the Germans got bombed into oblivion. It was quite effective.

  • Orcas sink another yacht: why killer whales are attacking boats

    Jump

  • Sailboats are a thing too, you know...

  • The US is Politically to the Right of [Other] Democracies

    Jump

  • What made us successful as a species, required us to be ruthless by design.

  • The Air BnB market is very competitive

    Jump

  • Maybe once they run out of apartment buildings, but that's not gonna happen any time soon.

  • Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world

    Jump

  • It's stated in the synopsis, below where it says you need to pay for the article. Anyway, it might be true as the hosting servers themselves often host up to hundreds of Windows machines. But it really depends on what is measured and the method used, which we don't know because who the hell has a statista account anyway.

  • Marginal? You must be joking. A vast amount of servers run on Windows Server. Where I work alone we have several hundred and many companies have a similar setup. Statista put the Windows Server OS market share over 70% in 2019. While I find it hard to believe it would be that high, it does clearly indicate it's most certainly not a marginal percentage.

  • Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees

    Jump

  • Feel free to start a competitive game store. There's a reason why gog, origin or epic hardly make a dent on Valves bottom line.

  • Shout Out to Blue Maga

    Jump

  • Wiz Khalifa has been arrested in Romania for smoking a joint live on stage

    Jump

  • Wait, Wiz Khalifa is a dude? I always thought it was a woman...

  • cafe in Amsterdam could not produce a receipt -- a “digital transformation” scenario; are receipts no longer obligatory?

    Jump

  • I hate the fact that some places don't have physical menus at all anymore. At least have it as a backup, ffs

  • Damn I forgot the gloves again

    Jump

  • "Let me put it on for you"

  • Stoke-on-Trent couple fined £1,200 after clearing up rubbish

    Jump

  • Solution: dump it in the gardens of the local councilors.

  • Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service

    Jump

  • I never had issues with Amazon support. To be fair, the last time I needed support was over 4 years ago, but still. I got to chat with some real person relatively quickly who managed to address the issue swiftly.

  • 70%

    Jump

  • Belgium has mandatory voting and politics there are difficult as hell because all those people who ordinarily wouldn't vote, tend to vote for the more extreme parties as a FU to the establishment.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

    Jump

  • Cross shoulder, right shoulder to left hip. A friend once told me that is how gay people carry their bags, but my self-consciousness is not fragile enough to give up comfort for the odd chance of being considered homosexual. Anyway, that and in summer shorts with a t-, polo- or regular shirt, in winter long trousers (not jeans usually) with sweater and a jacket. Nothing special, really.
