  • Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years

    Jump

  • I've read the article several times, but still can't understand why they have stopped.

    They do say that they have had no pressure from the administration, and that it is a strategic move to cover wider issues that affect peoples' lives. But honestly, cutting on presidential approval rate, to measure other opinions seems like a distraction

  • Trump receives trophy as he’s named ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal’

    Jump

  • Agree! It basically says so in the first sentence of the article!

    President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented

  • Trump receives trophy as he’s named ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal’

    Jump

  • This was such a comical read! It's like reading a joke made into a serious article:

    President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented

    "I'm thrilled to welcome to the White House the men and women who light our cities, and you know, you do things that people don't even understand, so much, you do so much. You heat our homes, fuel our factories and turn natural resources into American riches and dreams. Our amazing coal miners.”

    “I ended the war on coal,”

    It is not the first time Trump has been the “inaugural recipient” of an award presented by those looking to curry his favor.

    a bronze statue of a coal miner on the top and was engraved with “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.”

    Infantino also handed Trump “a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go,”

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • It's a sliding slope though. The initial reasoning is fair. But it will eventually spread to other features like (potentially) creating and owning servers or holding administrative and moderation roles

    It's the same with the chat control currently looking over EU. Nobody can say that they are against efforts to stop CSAM. The issue is that the efforts don't limit themselves to fighting that. Likewise the age verification on Discord does not seem to be targeted or limited to certain content. They are leaving the door open to use it any way they want

  • Epstein affair may be 'the end of the monarchy', says US congressman

    Jump

  • Yeah the involvement of US politicians, billionaires and celebrities in the Epstein afair, clearly shows that it is a career killer to be mentioned in them 🤦

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • The real problem is, that the majority of users won't change, and it's the users that make Discord. There could be a much better alternative but if users are too lazy to change, it is worth nothing.

    This is the case with Facebook messenger too. There are great alternatives, but it's messenger that has the userbase

  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

    Jump

  • The problem is not the lack of alternatives but the lack of users using the alternatives

    Donald Trump has 'four months to live and his brain is in decline', expert claims

    Jump

  • That's a very manipulative title when the first paragraph is:

    Donald Trump may have four months left to live and his brain is in decline, a health expert has claimed.

  • Do you miss drinking from the water fountain?

    Jump

  • I need specifications..

    Are water fountains the ones that point water upwards? Or generally any tap water?

  • Bye Bye Humanity: The Potential AMOC Collapse

    Jump

  • The point about tipping points is, that by definition a tipping point can't be restored. Once it colapses, the areas it cools will be even colder and the warm areas that get cooled by it, will turn into deserts. Agriculture in northern Europe will not be possible. Rain in the Amazone will be limited.

    Compare the climate of northern Europe to the correlating climate of Western Canada. The reason why it's not as cold in Europe is that AMOC keeps it warmer

  • yea

  • Epstein's doctor called in an erectile dysfunction drug for him, and then they went out for "pizza and grape soda"

    Jump

  • I wonder what is the deciding factor that lets some names be hidden and others censored (besides money and personal relationships)...

    Was it like "here is Trump's contact list.. any names you find on this list, censor them

  • Alright, how do you all handle your photos? Self-hosted Immich, Hetzner Nextcloud, Ente or Zeitkapsl?

    Jump

  • I went through this dilemma too and actually talked with ente about it. It turns out that they did initially try to set it up in Europe as they are a global team, but the EU requirement for physical presence in the country was limiting for them.

    They said that there were workarounds for this but decided on setting it up in the US because it was very straightforward with no workarounds or limitations

    I like the way they are going with ente though and feel like it's a fair price. The software works well too
