  • Where does this artwork come from? It reminds me of the ones that look like a normal diner but the more you look the more horror you see like tentacles etc.

  • I think realistically it’s going to be difficult to find something that ticks all boxes from a political, profit, investor, ceo way etc so at some point it’s about choosing which one is most important to you.

    As it happens I moved over to Mistral a couple of weeks ago instead of gpt and it’s been really good for me so far.

  • Hey thanks for the reply, good to know! The sound quality on my AirPods Pro are amazing but I would maybe get different ones in future anyhow so not a dealbreaker.

  • Hahah I left myself open to that but I mean the volume and breadth of memes in Lemmy is vastly less than on Reddit. I try to contribute what I can where possible but it’s miles away at the moment.

    E.g. I can get metal memes, formula 1 memes, dank memes etc in quite high volumes there.

  • I need to get a new source for memes. Using Reddit less and less and having access to meme sources would help the decline.

  • A growing movement to boycott US products has spread from Scandinavia to Canada, the UK and other countries in response to US President Donald Trump's authoritarian policies, The Guardian reports. The most publicised case is the refusal to buy cars produced by Tesla because of its association with Elon Musk, who has since become a key figure in the Trump administration. In a single day earlier this week, Tesla's share value fell 15%.

    In response to tariffs introduced by Trump against Canadian imports and his call for the neighbouring country to become the 51st US state, Canadians have started boycotting American products. But the economic boycott has also extended into the cultural sphere and beyond. In Canada, where America's national anthem has been booed during hockey games against US teams, several apps have sprung up that allow shoppers to scan the barcode of products in stores to see if they come from America, making it easier for Canadians to avoid them. What's more, the number of Canadians holidaying in the US fell by about 23% in February 2025 compared to the same month last year, according to Statistics Canada. "A backstabbing sideshow".

    Some companies in Europe are also joining the boycott While Canada and Mexico have been the countries hardest hit by the trade war sparked by Trump, the boycott movement is making itself felt even in countries much further afield. In Sweden, around 40,000 users have joined a Facebook group calling for a boycott of US companies - including Facebook - and offering alternatives to US products. "I will replace as many American products as I can, and if many people do that, it will definitely affect the stock in the shops," wrote one user. In Denmark, where Trump's threat to take control of Greenland has provoked many angry reactions, the largest food company, the Salling Group, has announced it will brand products made in Europe with a black star to make it easier for customers to avoid US products.

    "People are angry. Musk represents so many of the Trump administration's problems" Famed violinist Christian Tetzlaff made it clear why he and his quartet have cancelled a series of US concerts due to take place this summer. "There seems to be a silence or denial of what's going on." "I feel total rage. I can't go on having this feeling inside me. I can't just go out and support a beautiful concert tour," Tetzlaff said. The boycott movement will most likely expand even further. "A lot of the actions we're seeing are coming organically, people are putting various things on TikTok. People are so angry, and this is about taking back power," said Zoe Gardner, who organises the Stop Trump Coalition movement in the UK. "We're already seeing in Europe that Tesla sales have plummeted because Musk represents so many of the problems of the Trump administration, both his horrible culture of racism and the economic side," Gardner added.

  • TIL Woody Harrelson's dad was a contract killer and assassinated a federal judge

    Jump

  • Harrelson's son, Woodrow Tracy Harrelson (born July 23, 1961), is actor Woody Harrelson. According to Woody, his father disappeared from the family's home in Houston in 1968, leaving his wife Diane to raise Woody and his two brothers. Woody lost track of his father until 1981, when news broke of Harrelson's arrest for the murder of Judge Wood. During an interview in November 1988, Woody revealed that he visited his father regularly in federal prison, although he still harbored mixed feelings about him, saying: 

    My father is one of the most articulate, well-read, charming people I've ever known. Still, I'm just now gauging whether he merits my loyalty or friendship. I look at him as someone who could be a friend more than someone who was a father.

    In April 2023, actor Matthew McConaughey claimed that he and Woody Harrelson, who have been long-time friends, could potentially be half-brothers, implying that Charles Harrelson could also be his father. According to McConaughey, his mother claimed to have known Woody's father around the time that McConaughey was conceived, and the two actors have discussed taking a DNA test to be certain.
