  • ‘Man-made mass starvation’ in Gaza, WHO chief says

    Jump

  • The images in this article bear a shocking resemblance to the images that came out of the Nazi concentration camps post WW2.

    There are no words to talk about this level of evil - in either case. The world needs to stop this.

  • I’m impressed by my wife’s m1 air.

    Jump

  • Have to agree with some comments here about the 14 inch MacBook Pro - it’s a lovely machine. I switched a couple of years ago after decades on Windows (I’m a software developer) and couldn’t be happier.

    I seem to remember that you can use more monitors with the Pro than the Air, etc, so it’s definitely worth doing some research when choosing. Do you have an Apple Store nearby?

  • What's the point in getting married?

    Jump

  • Marriage wasn’t important to me, either - I was with my now husband for many years before we tied the knot. I’d never been one for the traditional big wedding, wasn’t sure what difference it would make, etc.

    What changed? My Mum died - and in all the times at hospital and then dealing with the funeral etc - I realised just how important being “next of kin” actually is. In so many ways. And while you can cover most of your bases with various legal documents - honestly there’s already a super easy way, that is very well understood all over the world, that achieves this.

    And while I wasn’t expecting it to feel any different afterwards, it really did - for both of us. More certainty and just really solid.

  • Google is lobbying the Canadian senator who introduced a bill to restrict children’s ability to access sexually explicit material online

    Jump

  • “Don’t be evil” they said …

  • Freak sell-off of ‘safe haven’ US bonds raises fear that confidence in America is fading

    Jump

  • Bold of you to think you’re getting another election

  • Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows

    Jump

  • No shit, Sherlock

  • Why does Britain feel so poor?

    Jump

  • Because we’re heading back to the Victorian era in terms of inequality. At that time we were the pre-eminent world power and yet we had masses of people living in abject poverty.

  • Why is my entire feed in this Lemmy server nothing but American politics and Reddit bashing

    Jump

  • Man, I’m with you! A lot of people are commenting that you should just curate your feed - man, that means unsubscribing from news and politics. I mean there are a lot of other countries news I’m interested in seeing. And I already have an app that lets me filter out content based on keywords and my feed is still filled with US content.

    The amount of US content is just overwhelming and it’s freaking everywhere. I know I’m not alone in frankly having had enough of it.

    Can’t people post this stuff into dedicated US communities?

  • Apple Maps now uses ‘Gulf of America’ name in US, will roll out globally soon

    Jump

  • I like your style.

  • Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site

    Jump

  • This guy just needs to let this go! He’s wasting his life on this. Even if he finds it in the next decade - honestly I’m not sure it’s worth it.

  • Wait, I've seen this movie

    Jump

  • Upvote for Tremors which has to be the best awful movie I’ve ever seen. Like, so bad it wraps around and becomes great.

  • Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban in unanimous ruling

    Jump

  • Non-American here. This actually goes a long way in helping me to avoid US-centric news and content for the next 4 years. So, there’s that.

  • What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it?

    Jump

  • Whoa! No that’s not what I got at all! And if you click into what looks like a still image you’re suddenly in a feed of videos. Who knows what their UX is doing.

  • What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it?

    Jump

  • Isn’t this a screenshot from Twitter/X?! So - probably a bot.

    I’m not American, but downloaded RedNote (Little Red Book) to see what the fuss was about and it’s been a charming experience. I’m particularly loving the cooking videos!

    Very very interesting to see normal Americans and normal Chinese people have discussions together on a social media app. And for them to show each other “slice of life” videos. Probably the first time that this has ever happened?

    Utterly hilarious situation, tbh.

  • YSK: How to filter out posts and comments based on keywords

    Jump

  • What a great idea - thank you!!

  • Biden announces 10-year deadline to remove all lead pipes nationwide

    Jump

  • TIL that lead pipes carrying drinking water are still used in the States.

    Suddenly SO MUCH makes sense.

  • Sources to improve my eloquence/ cover letters? (In English)

    Jump

  • Native English speaker here - my English teacher at school always used to say that in order to write well, you need to read well.

    That probably doesn’t help you in the short term, however! But, yes - finding “good” authors you enjoy is a good way to go.

  • This is too cute

    Jump

  • Can confirm - my husband and I started reading to each other years ago. It’s not all the time, maybe a couple of books a year, but always on holiday - it’s an awesome way to be together rather than each stuck into your own book world.

    Would recommend!

  • TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture

    Jump

  • Reminds me of the Netflix show “American Factory” about a Chinese factory opening in the US.

    Quite a fascinating clash of cultures.
