Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • Alphabet spins off Starlink competitor Taara

    Jump

  • Yeah, more thinking the wasted time, resources, and emissions involved in building, launching, managing, and then whenever makes it down.

    Take all that and make something useful instead, whatever happened to Google fiber being built out all over? More reliable, faster, doesn't involve sending piles of redundant satellites into space...

  • Alphabet spins off Starlink competitor Taara

    Jump

  • Yay, more space junk, and knowing Google they would abandon the whole thing a couple years in when it gets boring and leave them to rot.

    Edit:not actually sat, which makes it weird to call a 'starlink competitor' then, but I don't write the headlines.

  • French MEP says US should give back Statue of Liberty

    Jump

  • Yeah, give it to Russia or China who have never used military expansion for their own self serving purposes.

  • What are these markings from? Bugs?

    Jump

  • Basically small chips pulled off rather than cut off. I might have gone with a finer tooth saw, but not master carpenter to speak to that part.

  • Neo(Nazi)Liberals

    Jump

  • You've been around here long enough to know that 'neolib' gets thrown out for anyone this side of Stalin. Trying to equate the term with these sociopaths isn't going to work.

  • Neo(Nazi)Liberals

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, very liberal there with the whole demanding people conform to their ways, controlling women's bodies, declaring DEI and the very concept of large swaths of the LGBT invalid, deporting everyone not white and Christian they can...

    Totally owning those shitlibs am so right?

  • Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools

    Jump

  • Fear and propaganda. The life blood of their party is in pushing the great fear of the big scary thing as a target to push through their rules to make the people safe...

    It's nazis just before the camps go up and the Jews get put in train cars.

  • Oops, something went wrong!

    Jump

  • Most common place I see those is when the site doesn't want to talk to a known VPN endpoint. Like another mentioned site owners don't want to given any more info to what they perceive as a possible threat than needed, so they just give a generic failure page.

  • Trump Orders US Military to Plan Invasion of Panama to Seize Canal: Report | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Not that I have any faith in the R congress to have a spine, but I'm not seeing how he even could do so if he wanted to without consent of Congress. Pretty well all the direct actions taken in the last couple decades come from the AUMF but that's at least theoretically supposed to be linked to terrorist activities.

  • Trump to invoke wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to carry out deportations to Guantanamo

    Jump

  • come from countries staging an "invasion or predatory incursion" of the U.S.

    That's quite a stretch here. Wonder who could show standing to challenge it but I would think that would require some kind of military threat from these countries to be upheld.

  • Protesters take over Trump Tower in NYC to demand release of Mahmoud Khalil

    Jump

  • Demonstrators from the group Jewish Voice for Peace...

    It's one of the first lines?

  • OpenAI calls for US government to codify 'fair use' for AI training

    Jump

  • The way the maga crowd hates Disney lately for being 'woke' pissing them off might encourage pushing a rule like this through.

  • EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change

    Jump

  • I think this guy misunderstands the role, it's not supposed to be protecting businesses from environmental concerns.

  • Trump threatens 200% tariff on E.U. booze over tax on U.S. whiskey

    Jump

  • Stop playing around dude, just put 1000% on everything from everyone and go play golf. Surely that won't burn everything to the ground and cause him to get dragged into the street by an angry mob...

  • Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight

    Jump

  • Also known as how to ensure a robust used car market until they pull their head out of their ass.

  • Finnish town wants to capture cremation heat to warm homes

    Jump

  • Not quite, but they did live through the great depression in the early 1900s, so things like keeping a box of buttons to fix your shirts and a basement full of canned anything on sale where pretty standard.

  • Find Something You Love as Much as Gavin Newsom Loves Having Anti-Trans Pundits on His Podcast

    Jump

  • I'm plenty aware of you, couldn't go 2 days during the presidential cycle without a Twitter screen popping up from you.

    I'm sure the greens, or puppy kissers, or whoever the latest lefty wish listed party is is wonderful and all but in case you failed to notice that whole strategy of shitting on Dems persistently only served to help suppress turnout and usher in the hellscape we have today.

  • Find Something You Love as Much as Gavin Newsom Loves Having Anti-Trans Pundits on His Podcast

    Jump

  • Getting an early start on those anti Democrats posts are you?

  • Finnish town wants to capture cremation heat to warm homes

    Jump

  • Well my grandma liked to say waste not, want not. Not much different than heating with dead dinosaurs I guess.

  • Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home?

    Jump

  • Bought cheap and underestimated the effort needed to make it your ideal. At least that's my experience. It can get overwhelming at times but I find a certain peace I'm taking it as the demon you know. I get a lot of bugs in the spring when the weather starts to warm and it's damn annoying, but know that when the weather gets more stable they'll leave and I can get back to normal. It's sort of a zen thing to recognize that it's almost 100 years old, so yeah, there are going to be some annoyances, can't call it unexpected.

    Basically just make it your own, and do what you can when you can. Unless you're rich and have all the resources/time in the world there's no point in getting in a panic that it can't all be done at once.
