  • Israel Condemned for Bombing Rescue Workers Trying to Reach Journalist Buried Under Rubble

  • Well, the same kind of WAS said about post-WWII Germany. It was joint-colonised for half a century and ceased to exist as a single independent state until 1989, and even then, German reunification was pretty controversial

  • Didn't Minecraft overtake Tetris years ago?

    I'm pleasantly surprised to see Human Fall Flat here though. I don't hear many people talk about it, but it has a seriously fun multiplayer

  • Fairphone 3 EOL

    Jump

  • I have a Fairphone 3, and it definitely does have a headphone jack (unless there are other versions of it that don't)

  • A new trailer came out today for the final episode, and well, it's heavily implied at this point

  • Amazon thanks loyal Kindle devotees by bricking their kit

  • That's valid

  • Red dwarf similarity

    Jump

  • Often I find that the best comedies have some of the most depressing settings, and The Amazing Digital Circus and Red Dwarf are two great examples of that! That being said, check out Don't Hug Me I'm Scared! The setting is like 1-to-1 with the Amazing Digital Circus!

  • Amazon thanks loyal Kindle devotees by bricking their kit

  • In short, I feel the "digital" part has enabled the "enshittification" part

  • I still don't understand why people even use e-books, let alone an Amazon one. Picking up and reading a paper book is one of the most beautifully simple hobbies you can possibly have. You don't need to pay a monthly subscription, you don't need to log into your account, you don't need internet access, you don't even need electricity!

  • How would Wikipedia change if they moved their headquarters to Denmark?

    Jump

  • Is that true? I'm actually floored by the idea of trying to doxx the Wikipedia editors. That's some of the most shameless anti-intellectualism and psychopathy I've ever heard of.

    But to answer your question directly while I process that, yes, I think moving their location to Denmark or anywhere in Europe would be an absolute victory. The only thing that's stopped me from donating to Wikipedia is the thought that it'd get taxed and Trump would pocket some of it. While financially, the US government may not lose much, it's a massive reputational loss, and sets the stage for other companies to do the same.

  • Have you seen Neon Genesis Evangelion?

    Jump

  • I've been watching it with friends, and have seen about the first half of it now!

    I'm pretty surprised by how little messed up stuff has happened so far compared to what I've heard about it, but I'm bracing for that second half! In general, I'm liking it a lot and I see why it's been so influential in anime since it came out

  • What are your recent buy european wins?

    Jump

  • I recently bought a Fairphone 3 and installed Ubuntu Touch onto it, ditching Android entirely! I spent about 3 days working on this and would strongly recommend buying one of the newer ones with Ubuntu Touch pre-installed, I'm incredibly happy with it, feel freer than ever, and Google's however-much-money poorer for not having my data!

  • I'll bet she went on some YouTube rabbit hole sometime in COVID times. It's such a 180 from where she used to stand.

    I re-read the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book (old book, I didn't give her any money) and it's all about how Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia hated Harry being a wizard because it wasn't normal, it didn't fit their idea of normal, and they wanted to be seen as normal more than any else, but Harry couldn't help being who he was. It's not hard to read a gay or trans allegory into that.

    Ubuntu's trust problem in 4 concrete issues - verified facts, no FUD

    Jump

  • Thanks for this. I started Linux with Ubuntu, just because being the most popular distro, I figured it would most likely to be compatible with everything. I was just about to make a post asking why the Linux community dunks on Ubuntu, but this graphic explains a lot
