  • Johnny Somali’s trial in Korea seems like it’s going to go poorly for him

    Jump

  • And totally deserved. He's not just an ass, he's a criminal menace.

    Dude got away with fucking around in Japan but tried the same shit in Korea and is now finding out

  • Trump Decried Millions Spent ‘Making Mice Transgender.’ It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

    Jump

  • Well they had to do something after they weren't allowed to make frogs gay anymore ^^

  • Jack Daniel's maker says Canada pulling U.S. alcohol off shelves 'worse than tariff'

    Jump

  • You know what's worse than pulling things off the shelves? Threatening the sovereignty of foreign nations and then making up bullshit tariffs to do so

  • answer me, gregory

  • Why would cockroaches HAVE milk? They don't nurse young or anything like that

  • Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"

    Jump

  • Yeah totally fair. I bought a Starlink dish a bit before the current shit show. It's been sitting in my closet since.

  • They don't need a government contract for that though

  • I'll believe it when I see it. Dougie is good at bluster but will he actually follow through?

  • Spotify's Beta Used 'Pirate' MP3 Files, Some From Pirate Bay

    Jump

  • Google also seems to pad their library with stuff uploaded to YouTube, which I'm pretty sure includes stuff not uploaded by authorized individuals.

    Music streaming services are crooked AF

  • Literature rule

  • His undergarments settled gracefully about his ankles, revealing his manly glory. Like a Sphinx-Cat it stood proudly with its head held high above the two shaven and wrinkled spheres that adorned it.

  • Conservatives push to overturn same-sex marriage: "Just a matter of when"

    Jump

  • that would have taken some guts and foresight by the democratic leaders.

    My understanding is that constitutional amendments also take a high bar to pass with 2/3 of states agreeing to the proposal and 3/4 ratifying. Given the issues getting even more basic things through the Senate/House I could definitely see this getting blocked by red states.

  • The unvaccinated are now "rare bread"

    Jump

  • And old, "rare bread" grows stale and crusty

  • Minecraft server hardware benchmarks

    Jump

  • It really depends on the mods. Stock Minecraft and even many mods would run fine on a potato, but some of the bigger mods actually require quite a bit of CPU/overhead.

    There are also various mods that require certain (older) versions of Java etc to run, and those versions of Java may have known security issues.

  • New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country

    Jump

  • Also apparently told Europe that they're pulling out of there unless they accept the deal for Ukraine's surrender...

    Jump

  • I mean, Canada might but given that I've of the issues is being in the crosshairs for annexation with "the largest land border" between us... how safe is it going to be?

    Trump's handing Ukraine and Europe to Russia while planning his own play from their book.

  • Amazon will remove your ability to download the books you bought

    Jump

  • I hate to knock it as a product, but I compared a lot of the books I bought on Kindle and - unless I'm missing something - the selection on Kobo seems quite limited in comparison.

    It seems that Amazon is using Kindle Unlimited you lock authors into exclusivity. This reeks of monopoly abuse but of course nobody is going to do anything about that.

  • Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

    Jump

  • Yeah I looked into the Kobo store and a LOT of the books I have - which are not exactly small titles - aren't available there.

    In some cases they've got the first couple books or audiobooks out of a series that currently has 10

  • The color might make more sense if you're into manga or graphical novels as opposed to just ebooks

  • Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

  • This doesn't track.

    To pull my books into calibre, I need to first download them onto the Kindle, which requires wifi.

  • I’m a Federal Worker. You Have No Idea the Irreversible Damage Elon Musk Is Doing.

    Jump

  • Yeah, even just kicking out these crazies isn't a good fix because they've already demonstrated they're more than willing to lie, cheat, and steal to hold on to or gain power.

    The only justice I'd trust would need to come at the end of a rope, and it'd need to include a LOT of colluders at the very least in cells as well. That includes certain media organizations that helped enable this shit-show as well.

    After all that, the American public needs to force better, including proper regulation and enforcement of public over corporate interests. While some of it has been astroturfing, the embedded cleptocracy and corporate interest in the Democratic party also needs to be fixed (or both parties turfed and new better choices), because "lesser evil" is not good enough.

    Other countries should also take heed from the US situation. This is what happens when you continually tolerate the intolerable, and when your government is owned by a billionaire+ untouchable aristocracy with a corporate shield protecting them from consequences.
