  • US will be ‘strongly involved’ in Venezuela oil industry, Trump says after Caracas attacked and Maduro captured | Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves

  • The incompetence of the big leader is indeed quite the contrast with the competence of the military

  • Roman empire.

    Third reich but that didn't last long.

    Napoleon french empire but that didn't last long either.

    Peacefully united? Never before as far as I know.

  • Venezuelan president Maduro captured and flown out of country following ‘large scale’ US attack, Trump says – live

  • The only real military reaction here from Russia would be nuclear. They just don't have the conventional military means currently to fight a US fleet half the world away. While going nuclear is never impossible, yes the enclosed rat, the chance of it happening over this Venezuela thing isn't larger than over any other Trump fart. For example the interventions in Iran by Israel/USA are already way more likely to cause this kind of madman reaction, just because of proximity. Iran is in Russia's backyard, Venezuela isn't.

  • Honestly what is Russia gonna do? Same as in Syria: nothing. They don't have the capability anymore to react to this far far away shit in a decent way, nor is it significant enough for them to drop the big one.

  • Breaking: Explosions heard, low-flying aircraft seen over Venezuela's capital

    Jump

  • Well the difference obviously is that Russia failed it's coup in Ukraine where this USA intervention in Venezuela, from their point of view at least, seems like it succeeded. History is always written by the winners, and so are the laws to prosecute the losers. Great distraction timing too of course for Epstein-trump

  • ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners

    Jump

  • "trick some of them accidentally" is definitely underestimating average users. In my experience 95% + of all users click consent once, all is stored forever and they'll never see the banner again, for sure not on the same device. They don't do adblocking, no automatic cookie deleting, in fact no browser extensions at all. The average fediverse user is a weird mix of a 1990's internet poweruser with a today tech kid trying to make it into the future technologies on their own terms and by faaaar not an average user visiting average website on average devices with average browsers and configurations. In short: most people don't experience this 'problem' like us, because they consent by default to anything you throw at them and are then in the gated tracking paradise where there's barely any cookienagging, visiting the same handful of websites all the time anyway.

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

    Jump

  • Fair enough. Bit shocking as a European that a discounter that's known to put enormous pressure on staff, is regarded as very good practice on the other side of the pond... Sure Aldi pays their staff well but they also time and micromanage cashierd for how many seconds it takes per scanned product for example

  • Ukraine strikes oil refinery in Russia's Rostov Oblast with Storm Shadow missiles, General Staff says

  • Dehumanising people never helps anyone in the long run. May Ukraine win and Russian people find ways to become a less corrupt country... but all people involved are people, not animals. You shouldn't lower yourself to dehumanising anyone, that's exactly what fascists do.

  • Zelenskyy Confirms Ukraine Is Now Firing Its New Sapsan Homegrown Ballistic Missile Against Russia

  • USA and European defense industry are watching carefully and will buy up the successful companies and tech. It could even be part of a peace deal if anything like that would happen at some point, known or under the table.

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

    Jump

  • How "buy European" is this? Doesn't Aldi have completely separate, American, supply chains for the vast majority of the products...?

  • surely your hobby can't be that expensive

  • You can do maths and programming on a very cheap pc, don't necessarily need an expensive PowerPC with i dunno which graphics card is currently the hype

  • Solved Problems (by kplx)

    Jump

  • Because cassette tapes were awful, fast declining quality, tiny picture + tiny booklet if you're lucky. Discman was awful while cycling to school, potholes causing interruptions... The mp3-player 256MB was a really cool innovation! Enjoyed that supermuch. Went through batteries FAST tho. But vinyl LPs... Is just different. It was never meant for on the road scenario and the size of the 12" sleeve just makes for a really cool collection of pictures alongside the cool collection of music. I still enjoy playing vinyl while I find it is the ultimate album experience. You get nice sleeve/context, sort of forced to listen album a to z and always dead silence in the end instead of some algorithm or autoplay making everything a never ending stream of best case 'related' stuff but more common the next sponsored crap being pushed on you...

  • Plastic kitchen tools like a spatula, made from any kind of plastic, will break down mechanically and in high temperatures. Always. It can't be good to eat plastic, i'ld rather avoid it. Wooden kitchen utensils of course suffer similar issues, but I'm a bit more fine with ingesting tiny pieces of wood once in a while. If I can, while tending to my food, I will always use glass, metal or wood instead of plastic. But you do you, plastic is cheaper... It's not poisonous by the way, but is can be carcinogenic. Yes, arsenic is deadlier than plastic. That does not mean ingesting plastic is healthy.

  • UK and Norway team up to hunt Russian submarines and undersea sabotage

    Jump

  • I'ld still be amazed if European countries decided to pile up 150.000 soldiers, thousands of tanks and artillery somewhere in Finland near Russian border pointing towards st. Petersburg. They just can't not react. This would pull so much Russian force away from the actual frontlines...

  • Samsung smart fridges have started displaying ads

    Jump

  • it will become like many appliances... You want a dumb tv? Possible, but it will cost you more than a smart one. You want a dumb fridge? Fine, but soon it will cost you more than a 'smart' one you can't even turn on without making an account somewhere and registering your email and phone

  • Logical things I think it could or should become the norm as well: electric razors, vaporisers, head-flashlights (like Petzl), many kinds of toys like RC cars and such, christmas lights, Halloween decorations etc etc.

    It think in many cases it will usually be a lot more ecological to use devices you already own as long as you can and keep repairing them if possible. It's nice to have usb-c, but throwing out a fine, still functioning toothbrush to replace it by a usb-c chargeable model just for that reason seems to me like the opposite of ecological.
