    Fire at Tesla dealership near Rome destroys 17 cars

  • 17 dang, Is that a high score?

  • The new Stanley cup collector craze absolutely. It's bonkers.

    That said Stanley makes high quality stuff at far more reasonable prices than Yeti. I have a Stanley coffee thermos I have used every day for almost a decade. It was like $30.

  • I don't think there is anything wrong with having strong brand preferences based on reputation and personal experience. The issue is when people become fanboys.

    The worst one IMHO is YETI coolers. Sure their stuff is well made but the prices are obscene, and there are loads of absolute tools who will buy everything they make and make a cooler brand their whole identity. $40 for a 5 gallon bucket? Come on.

  • At this point there is a pretty solid list of reasons to avoid Brave and use another FOSS privacy focused option.

    Personally, everything I've read about Brave makes me trust them even less than Microsoft, and Google.

  • Thats fair. I haven't really noticed any of those issues. For my use case of just organizing and streaming my desktop's media library to my TV, its fantastic.

  • The most infuriating thing about Plex for me was when they shifted to force you to start with their BS streaming service at open. I only used Plex for my personal media collection. So having to jump through a bunch of menus to get to the only thing I want to use in their app was the biggest reason to switch for me. Maybe there is a way to fix that, but I could never find one.

    Jellyfin just does your personal media library and opens right up into it when the app starts. Its simpler, faster, and FOSS.

  • Jellyfin is so much better anyway. I used plex for years and it has steadily enshitified.

  • LibreOffice is a free, open-source office suite developed by TDF, based in Germany.

  • For real. I really hate how all the internet has just decided to meme with homelander like he is a good guy. Any meme I see with him I just assume some sort of malevolence behind it because he is so fucking evil.

  • You are talking about tankies. Who are so far left they made a lap back to authoritarianism. In no way do they represent most leftists.

  • The Return of Digg, a Star of Web 2.0 (Gift Article)

    Jump

  • I have a lot of fond nostalgia for Digg, and Kevin Rose, especially from the Tech TV days.

    But reading this article doesn't exactly spark much excitement for me. In the end, it's just another centralized capitalist venture (now with AI slop from the start) that will end up enshitified in the pursuit of shareholder profits.

    We are already using the alternative. Lemmy is the way forward for this format.

  • What car stickers say about you

    Jump

  • They forgot to add political stickers which make you a target for the extremists who don't agree with you.

  • Is anyone else constantly paranoid wearing light coloured clothing because they're afraid of getting stains?

    Jump

  • Yes. I don't really buy white clothing for that reason. I also don't like black clothing because of lint showing up so easily. Plus it gets really hot where I live. Wearing black out in the sun is just extra miserable.

  • Gulf of Make a Report to Apple

    Jump

  • I can't be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It's just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn't hurt anything. It's a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

  • Can you eat soap for acid reflux?

    Jump

  • Maybe. If you want to trade heartburn for intense diarrhea.

  • Morning people, how do you manage to wake up early like 5 am as a computer person?

    Jump

  • Biological alarm clock. AKA my kids wake me up.

  • Is it too late to develop a social life in your mid 20s if you never had one prior?

    Jump

  • They are obviously ranked too. duh. Number 1 and 2 are always fighting for rank. With 18 friends they only have 2 left in the 20 friend limit. It's very competitive.

    If Musk succeeds in "repealing all regulation", what's the best strategy for a normal person? Unethical answers only.

  • It's cute that you think anyone but the richest people and biggest corporations will be deregulated.
