Trump probably imagines he’s being smart by pretending to be against Putin while actually continuing to serve him. He’ll think no one could see through that.

Well, what an asshole. The candidate dodged a bullet.

I guess that’s part of the reason they’re exploring coatings - something to slow down the degradation during regular usage.

Ah but imagine the eager faces of Logitech’s execs when they realize they could make their mice dissolve under your fingers and offer a subscription for replacements.

It took longer for them to get to this point than I expected.

It’s so reminiscent of Jews being rounded up by the Gestapo. They set it up to suggest you have a chance if you comply, but it’s a trick and you don’t have a chance. The cruelty of the trick is part of the enjoyment for sadistic fascists.

Yes, the language they’re using suggests that there will be due process according to the law. This is not the case. They’re bypassing the law entirely to kidnap and disappear people.

That article is reporting a survey though, which showed 24% of adults supported removing these broadcasters’ funding. The “one quarter” is not about how people voted, it’s about this survey. There’s are links at the end of the article to more information about the survey and its methodology.

ICE agents often seem to wear masks. Could it be because they’re cowards?

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg’s less glamorous knockoff, people didn’t comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

Lol - that is one melancholy-looking ship face!

Like, I wonder why trump thought all these billion dollars global corporations kept bending the knee to China in the first place…

I don’t expect his thinking got as far as that question.

The current administration is motivated by greed and spite. It has no interest in doing good things for the country. It considers its business to be mainly hurting people, when it’s not stealing wealth.

If you read the whole thread, it turns out to be an undesirable behaviour of a tool called b4, which was rewriting not just author information but committer information. The consensus seems to be that this tool needs to be updated not to do that.

People don’t want to admit it judging by the downvotes, but there is nothing in the article that justifies the headline, and your point seems correct. If they were to pass the increased costs of importing steel and aluminum to the buyers of these military vehicles, the increase in price would hardly be noticeable. You can admit this without it meaning “I like Donald Trump.”

To clarify: Signal is secure as far as we know, but these fools used a Signal knockoff that is basically a very insecure wrapper around Signal that totally undermines it.

It depends on the source and how free people feel to answer surveys and censuses honestly, but it tends to be estimated that between 0.5% and 1% of the population are transgender or nonbinary. So your estimate of the total trans population in the USA is probably not too far off.

I’d love for Canada to make a point of offering asylum to transgender people who are persecuted in other countries. But we have to tame our own right wing to ensure trans people are safe and can live a good life here. Though the Liberals narrowly won the general election, the results still showed a worrying lurch to the right.

Plus we’re changing the climate to encourage its migration north.

It’s still quite a lot nicer than reddit, even if it has its share of unpleasant characters. Whenever I read a reddit thread I am glad Lemmy exists.

An Acorn Atom with 2KB of RAM because 12KB was too expensive. Good little computer, and the journey from the tiny Acorn Computers company to today’s ARM processors is a pretty amazing one.
