ZeroCool@slrpnk.netOPto News@lemmy.world•Gene Hackman Died of Heart Disease and Alzheimer’s a Week After Betsy Arakawa; Wife’s Cause of Death Determined to Be HantavirusEnglish35·4 months agoYeah, reading between the lines, it sounds like the poor guy was not in any condition to take care of himself and likely had no idea what was even happening to him for that week. What a horrible way to go.

So much respect.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netOPtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•A billionaire rises to the occasionEnglish0·4 months agoMeh. Only suckers give a shit about the “generosity” of billionaires. Tax them. Tax them down to millionaire status. Why should they dictate what programs get funded? It’s never worked before… it’s not suddenly going to start now.
I mean, your own tumblr link is proof of that. After all, Gotham’s still a crime ridden shithole, isn’t it? Clearly Bruce Wayne doesn’t know what Gotham actually needs.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Proton has stopped using their Mastodon accountEnglish18·5 months agoSeconded, but they just go by Tuta now.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!English6·5 months agoYeah, I don’t think it effects browsers.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!English14·5 months agoYeah, I’m really glad I found out about Jellyfin. I switched to Jellyfin because Plex doesn’t let you disable Passout Protection (automatically stopping playback after something like 3hrs) without Plex Pass. I was just about to fork over $95 for a lifetime license when I looked into Jellyfin and discovered continuous playback was the default. I switched that very day and never looked back.

ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•France's Bardella cancels CPAC speech over Bannon 'Nazi' saluteEnglish322·5 months agoThere is no debate about what Bannon did at CPAC outside of Fox News panels. And downplaying it is a bad look. So knock it off.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netOPto News@lemmy.world•Andrew Lester dies while awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in shooting of teen Ralph Yarl18·5 months agoA cause of death hasn’t been released but he was 86 so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just natural causes from the stress of his upcoming trial and sentencing. But damnit, he really should’ve died behind bars.
It’s a shame this robs the victim of seeing actual justice. But I would still consider one less violent racist in the world to be a win.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•'Jocelynn Deserves Justice!': 11-Year-Old Texan Kills Herself After Bullies' Deportation Threats.91·5 months agoI should hope so! The school deserves it. Multiple people would have had to drop the ball for this to happen. It’s just baffling because they were clearly making some sort of effort to help her. I can’t believe nobody bothered to even ask if her mother had been informed.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•'Jocelynn Deserves Justice!': 11-Year-Old Texan Kills Herself After Bullies' Deportation Threats.62·5 months agoSchool officials knew Carranza was being severely bullied and sent her for multiple weekly counseling sessions. However, the officials reportedly never notified the child’s mother, who says she only found out about the abuse after her daughter’s hospitalization.
How in the hell did nobody bother to tell her mother about the bullying? And how did she even get weekly counseling sessions without parental permission? I don’t have kids, so I guess I just don’t understand how schools are run these days, let alone in a shithole like Texas, but this story just sounds bizarre.
I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that’d be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.

Why single out Musk?
Because the post is specifically about Starlink and most people are capable of understanding that limiting discussion to what’s relevant is not the same as “singling out” Musk.
Yep, that’s how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.
Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.
Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”
Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren’t stupid, and it’s just become a routine part of raising a child.
Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus’ that they decide vaccines should be optional because… “Don’t tell me what to do, science nerds”
