  • Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne after Macron refuses to join 'board of peace'

  • Oh it can be called a duck, but not a "Mallard", "wood duck" or something specific like that unless it is from that species

    All tequilas are agave distillates, but not all agave distillates are tequilas.

    Tequila is an agave distillate, but unless it is from the specific region using an specific type of agave it can't be called tequila

  • Nova Launcher Added Facebook and Google Ads Tracking

    Jump

  • This is FOSS? I saw it recommended, went to the play store and saw that it was free so I was afraid that it was more of the same (most things aren't really free)

  • Nova Launcher Added Facebook and Google Ads Tracking

    Jump

  • It was only a matter of time. Any good alternatives? Tried to go to One UI but I miss Nova

  • How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them?

    Jump

  • I walk a lot and I use them until they are no longer comfortable to walk

    I have flat feet and I usually wear down the soles in an angle and I start walking "funny", creating more issues.

  • Bill Gates charity trust’s holdings in fossil fuel firms rise despite divestment claims

  • In his book he keep saying that it's not too late to stop climate change but we need to change drastically starting now (in 2021). I guess he realized he will be dead and/or too rich to feel any consequences

  • Jesus H. Christ

    Jump

  • That's about the word "hell". The concept is there. In fact many of the verses do not mention the name of the place, just the description or punishment

  • Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever

    Jump

  • The only thing I need to run on windows now is for H&R block tax software. I wonder if I can try it with wine but I'm afraid of losing the activation license

  • Christian dad sued school to keep his son from knowing that LGBTQ+ people exist. He just won.

    Jump

  • Do you think they read the Bible? (Or read any books at all?)

  • Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app

    Jump

  • Aren't they trying to fix explorer being slow af? How would adding copilot help?

  • Weekend

    Jump

  • I find it "funny" that most of the world celebrates labor/workers day on May 1st to commemorate the Chicago protest to fight for 8-hour shifts and workers rights but in the US they don't even talk about it.

    Labor Day in the US was chosen kinda arbitrarily to fall between independence Day and Thanksgiving Day

  • I recently found this (it can be replicated with many values):

  • Which healthcare would you choose?

    Jump

  • Last year my family doctor quit from the hospital to open her own practice but unfortunately she's not in network with my insurance

    I called the hospital to get an appointment (for a regular check up) with another doctor and none of their doctors 15 miles from me (2 big clinics and 2 small clinics) had any free appointments from May to December. The closest one was about 50 miles away with and the appointment and the waiting was 4 months

  • Little Loaf Cat!

    Jump

  • Your cat looks so much like mine, (extra) trimmed ear, white spot in the chest, white bikini, another spot in the middle, white back toes

  • "Microslop" trends on social media — backlash to Microsoft's on-going AI obsession continues

    Jump

  • At least you know the hardware will work and you can install your own distro (I know regular people won't know how to do this)

    I was looking for a convertible laptop during the holidays and I looked for compatibility and all of them had drivers missing, like the SD card, touchscreen, orientation sensor for tablet mode, bezel sensor for tablet mode. I ended up keeping my old laptop with mint and getting an android tablet that "just works"

  • US attack on Venezuela raises fears of future Greenland takeover

    Jump

  • I disagree. Even if the leaders condemn the invasion of Venezuela all of them were against Maduro, specially since the 2018 "election", their response is mild because they are kinda happy someone did the dirty work. Also the country is not connected to the global economy. Greenland is part of Denmark (EU), Mexico has a lot of foreign investment and Canada is friends with everyone, the response won't be the same

  • PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru

    Jump

  • nobody bought the ps5?

    Key Figures & Estimates (Late 2025/Early 2026)

    PlayStation 5 (PS5): ~84-86 million units (crossing 80M mark by late 2025).

    Xbox Series X/S: ~34 million units (estimates vary, but well behind PS5).

    Nintendo Switch (Original): ~154 million units (still selling well, nearing DS).

    Nintendo Switch 2 (New): Starting sales with ~12.4 million units by late 2025 (estimated).

    84 mil seems like a lot. PS games have always been discounted, contrary to Nintendo games

  • Americans embrace Aldi as German discounter becomes fastest-growing supermarket in US

    Jump

  • I have one Aldi I usually go and another 2 relatively close and one never had any issues with the meat or produce. The only thing is that there is a super market that gets very fresh produce so I prefer to get it from there, but there's nothing wrong with Aldi, and the quality seems to be the same as three Walmart or the Kroger that are any a mile away

    I agree with the limited inventory, it's rare to complete a grocery trip at an Aldi, I have to go to another super market after but the low prices and experience makes it good enough to make it my primary market

  • New Years Eve

    Jump

  • But that non zero is extremely close to zero. But it's making more fun about the fact that January 1st is very arbitrary cosmically. Even the solstice would make more sense
