  • So, which DE is the best one?

    Jump

  • Cinnamon

  • The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks | Face coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

    Jump

  • Duh. It's the plot of The Watchman series except without even an historical moment masquerading as justification. In other words, reality is worse than fiction.

  • "Those rights don't count": Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting

    Jump

  • That nazi's head would make a great home run target for The Bear's bat

  • TIL that Reddit has achievements

    Jump

  • Who cares? I came to lemmy explicitly to get away from reddit.

  • Let's say hypothetically, you just lived the plot of the Truman Show, escaping a bubble where your life has been broadcasted for the entire world to see. Now that you're free, what's your next move?

    Jump

  • Who knows? Like, the world is very different from how it's been presented to me if that's the case. Corporations can own people and feed them highly produced gas lighting false realities? I'd be terrified. In the reality presented to me we're on the brink of another world war. If that's not real but there other is, then it sounds like the bad guys won a long time ago.

  • Has anyone here legitimately felt like they could kill their own mother (but don't because it's illegal and immoral)? How do you cope?

    Jump

  • Do you feel that way because you're being abused? Or do you feel that way because you might be an undiagnosed psychopath (and I do mean that in the clinical sense)? Because that's two very different things.

    I'm not qualified to tell you what to do if it's the former; I don't know how unsafe you are but I would encourage you to get out of the situation. I hope others can be mor helpful.

    If it's the latter, then you need to start seeing a therapist. If you want to be able to continue to be a part of civil society, you'll need to do a lot of work to curtail those impulses. Again, like the other scenario I hope others more qualified than I can be more helpful

  • Taskbar (panel) on left, rather than bottom?

    Jump

  • You should be able to move the panel to the left by right clicking it and selecting Move

  • Over half of Republicans believe the Renee Good shooting was justified, poll finds

    Jump

  • That's because they're smooth-brained bootlicking simps

  • Trump Media is merging with fusion power company TAE Technologies in $6B+ deal

    Jump

  • This species of fuckery practically vibrates with the feeling that reality has taken the dark satire of cyberpunk too seriously. It's just a surreal level of wtf merging media owned by the top government executive officer with a quasi-scifi tech company

  • What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?

    Jump

  • yeah, I remember the first time I played The Dark Mod and thought: Holy shit, they really nailed the fidelity of the original! Then I was finally able to get Thief: Gold running and realized that TDM actually looks leagues better than the original lol

  • What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?

    Jump

  • Thief: Gold

    The Dark Mod scratches that itch very well most of the time, but the OG had better story telling across multiple missions

  • You got more with Firefox in 2025 | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • that TST has had for years

    Just curious, what is TST?

    [EDIT: oh, tree-style-tabs, got it. Given that, the rest of my comment is superfluous]

    But I think there's more to tab groups than what containers provides. You can't collapse all the tabs in one container down into a small representation of that group, for instance. Nor does it provide for a mechanism to move all the tabs in one group together along the tab bar, and reorder entire groups among other groups.

    I think their concerns are orthogonal. The only really similar thing about them is that containers use a color coding visual style similar to tab groups. They lack a lot of the niche features that make tab groups really sing

  • You got more with Firefox in 2025 | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • Tab groups only provide a visual way of grouping tabs purely for organization & tab management considerations. Containers actually separate things like cookies, browsing history, etc. so that the APIs that let you query that in a web app only see things related to the domain of that container, i.e. the sites you have open in it. Containers are actually less of a protection now that Firefox separates cookies and stuff even outside of containers, but they still help break up tracking cookies, etc, so that you maintain a little more privacy than you'd have otherwise. Tab groups do nothing for privacy

  • Hillary Clinton says TikTok to blame for young Americans' pro-Palestine views.

    Jump

  • I'm not trying to dis your post but:

    Hillary Clinton is a bad person with all kinds of bad opinions. Is she still truly influencing policy, though? Is she an important bellwether on something? Or is this an article that's basically like, "Hey! Remember that shitty person who used to be in politics like a decade ago? Yeah, they're still alive, still shitty, and I bet you're sorry I reminded you they exist!"

  • Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings

    Jump

  • That's the idea behind mutuals and mutual insurance. It's an older idea than you may imagine

  • Colombia, UK, and the Netherlands Stop Sharing Intelligence With U.S. Over Caribbean Terrorist Attacks

    Jump

  • Oh dang, I didn't realize you had editorialized the headline yourself and thought the Times actually had the balls to call them terrorist bombings

  • Democrats Promise to Keep Fighting Until No Rights Are Left for Americans

    Jump

  • Oh! Neat!

  • Democrats Promise to Keep Fighting Until No Rights Are Left for Americans

    Jump

  • What's this trend of not linking to the actual article?

  • Trump demands DOJ pay him $230m for cases against him. His ex-lawyers Blanche and Bondi will likely decide claim

    Jump

  • This guy is the Grifter's grifter. It's reaching mythological proportions; by which I mean that when stories are told about this time in the far future people won't believe it actually happened because wtf!
