  • Iranian warship sunk by the US was sailing home after taking part in an exhibition hosted by India

    Jump

  • So we blew up a ship because it belonged to the wrong country and not because it was a threat?

    It sure sounds like our country is at war with their country. Good thing my super trustworthy government got out ahead of that one and told us it's not a war.

  • Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable

    Jump

  • I could see them doing fine losing those features if it meant the hardware was compact, light, and cheap. But doing it on giant $1000 phones is not going to do them any favors with the lemmy crowd like I said.

  • is this even possible

    Jump

  • Yep. I enjoy hypothetical discussions about how to fix our shit to benefit humans as much as anybody else.

    But that's the wall I mentally run into every time: dozens of millions of people voted for the obvious greater evil THREE consecutive times.

    And these weren't some kind of bland Romney v Obama elections that were very much two sides of the same coin. They were random politician v dementia predator Hitler and roughly half of voters were smashing that pedoHitler button.

  • Fully Modded Skyrim VR in Samsung Galaxy XR is Something Else

  • My main original Skyrim play through on desktop was 100 hours.

    My Skyrim VR play through was 200 hours. I think in 2019. So fun.

  • "Somebody set up us the bomb SAM."

  • there is a special place in hell for these scientists

  • Yeah now it's "will it speedrun DOOM?"

  • Netanyahu's son 'highly vulnerable target' while living in Miami as he dodges IDF reserve

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I've probably listened to Prison Song this past year more than any other track of theirs.

    They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison for you and meeee

  • Conversation Starters

  • I recently had a similar experience. I used Linux Mint for the longest time, which is ubuntu based. And I tried LMDE for a little bit recently.

    But then I decided to try straight Debian 13 w/ KDE Plasma. I absolutely love it, and I'm old enough that seeing 

     
        
starting Debian GNU/Linux

    just feels cozy and correct. Plus like you said the speed and stability are somehow even better, but that I had issues before.

  • Conversation Starters

  • I thought with them it was more about the entire device than just the OS. People might say they love their mac but nobody is telling friends & family to just install macOS on that old PC that's losing Microsoft support.

  • Netanyahu's son 'highly vulnerable target' while living in Miami as he dodges IDF reserve

    Jump

  • Yeah, and especially for how popular it was back then it can be haunting to listen to old hits from bands like SOAD and RATM.

  • DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed

    Jump

  • Oh I agree. The documents should get dumped in full and we should treat the survivors with the grace and generosity they deserve.

    Then maybe we think of some ways to stop putting greedy psychopaths into positions of power!

    Our culture is completely on board with ruining both of these ideas, though.

  • Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

  • Israel launches ground invasion of Lebanon

    Jump

  • Americans born in the 40s and 50s had such a gilded path set out before them by WW2, and now they think that young people can't afford homes because of starbucks and avocado toast.

  • Israel launches ground invasion of Lebanon

    Jump

  • Remember how innocent we were the FIRST time Trump bombed Iran and we thought he was starting world war 3? Such sweet summer children were we.

  • DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed

    Jump

  • They are under no obligation to, of course, but I wish we'd see the victims band together and ask that any & all parties with access to the full unredacted files release them immediately. Zero redactions.

    There are so many victims though, that you can't just get them on a stage together on TV. And surely some will still not want to be outed.

  • Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion

    Jump

  • 100% agreed. I agreed more with each paragraph.

    Your last sentence hit on what I think is a contributing if not primary driving factor in the health crisis you described.

    It's like the goal of modern society is to insulate us from the natural world and from learning subjects or doing tasks that we don't absolutely have to.

    But we are critters that evolved on this planet just like the others. You can't just live a commoditized life that consists of work, car, screen, sleep, repeat and get the same fulfillment out of life as if you found the unique path that's optimized for your unique brain.

    Not acknowledging that everything jacks with your head to SOME degree only prevents you from trying to defend yourself as best you can!

    Over the past several years I have gone through a transition from living life the way I was supposed to, or that I thought I wanted to, to living according to what produces the best outputs from my brain. Once I have the lived experience of an undeniable improvement from some change, it might actually become a habit.

  • Crackheads versus Palantir Spybox

    Jump

  • It isn't necessarily a linear correlation where you can pick the cutoff that best suits your personality and politics.

    The technology and the act of surveillance don't just slide you up the safety/privacy slope. They carry their own risks that can REDUCE safety while still paying the privacy trade off. And it is not predictable.

    And that (plus caring about people) is why I don't support the Leopards Eating Faces coalition even though I'm an old white educated native-born male USian.

  • Oh I don't doubt that it would suck at it. It would just hold a lot of the heat within itself, eventually, lol.

  • I am in my 40s and almost every day it still pops back into my head how freaking amazing it was in high school chemistry watching water in the beaker above the bunsen burner stay the same temperature while all that damn energy went into the phase change.

    I also have a pond in my back yard as a hobby. The ice has pretty much all melted now, after a lot built up during the very cold weather we had a while back. But holy hell, I started up the waterfall pump while there was still ice in places but water could flow. I had big slabs of ice that were in MOVING water and did not melt for DAYS because the water was almost the same temperature. It looked wrong, but the energy just wasn't there to do otherwise.
