  • Son, we need to have a serious talk!

    Jump

  • Honestly, I know you mean we'll but I find statements like this extremely dangerous and damaging.

    There isn't some 'international council of men' that could collectively sort anything out. Ideas like blaming the whole gender is part of the reason why we have a rise in far-right sentiment among young men, as it's easy to feel like the world is against you for things that you personally have no say in. Young men (just like anyone else) need support, and not to be blamed for bad-behavior of others!

    Instead it's up to those of us (the vast majority) who don't represent toxic masculinity to set a compassionate example

  • Despair makes young US men more conservative ahead of US election, poll shows

    Jump

  • I agree, they don't currently. The problem is that most also don't want right wing change, they just haven't realised that one or the other is inevitable.

    They'll probably realise too late, but many would prefer left wing change to right wing change. The problem is, that there just isn't any substantial left wing options being offered, so they'll go with the right wing option by default.

  • The issue is that most people in despair are inclined to vote for a massive change. They just want anything different than the current status quo.

    At the moment in the USA, only the right is offering substantial, systematic change. As awful as it sounds to centrists and the left (I.e. the majority of the population), they don't offer any substantial alternative.

    We're basically at a point where the current status quo/political center WILL be replaced by something else. Centrists need to realise that the only alternative to right wing change is left wing change...

  • National Conservatism Conference: Right-wing Brussels event resumes after legal U-turn

    Jump

  • It's a classic example of the Paradox of Tolerance...

  • ‘It’s catastrophic’: Italian restaurants in London struggle to find staff post-Brexit

    Jump

  • I'm not Italian, but I am moving back to the EU in the next few months.

    Life isn't perfect anywhere, but (at least for my wife and I) we decided that it's much better for us elsewhere.

    Biggest things are the cost of living and the unwillingness for anyone in politics to talk constructively about solutions.

    We basically realised that we could be paid similarly but have our CoL cut in half, while living somewhere we find nicer than London. It shouldn't have to be this way, but the current situation is outrageous.

  • What do you use Waydroid for?

    Jump

  • I use it to run the Sky App to stream football.

    The only options are a windows app or an android app (since you can't watch in the browser) and I couldn't get the windows app to work with WINE.

    The android app runs fairly well with waydroid, although it occasionally runs into some hiccups.

  • Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets

    Jump

  • I think they mean "reign supreme" in the sense that, given the choice, most people these days would choose the bluetooth anyways.

    Its just so nice to not have a cord...

  • Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch?

    Jump

  • My most recent issue with Bluez is that it's been very inconsistent about letting me disable auto-switching to HSP/HFP (headset mode) when joining any sort of call.

    It's working now, but it feels like every few months I need to try a different solution.

  • Books that are worse than the film (which was already bad?)

    Jump

  • I loved the books and found the netflix series to be a pretty enjoyable westernization of them.

    There were a few changes/choices that were a bit strange or missed the point, but overall it's worth watching

  • Anon watches LOTR

    Jump

  • That's such a good point. I really appreciated how it wasn't scared to let viewers figure things out.

  • Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150

    Jump

  • When they say something like "60 days battery life" what they mean is using the device for half an hour everyday for 60 days.

    OP is arguing that it would make more sense to just say the continuous use battery life, which in the above example would be 30 hours (60 × 0.5)

  • What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?

    Jump

  • That's true for the US but not everywhere else

  • There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

    Jump

  • Ah, no in europe where I live is fairly normal for rail service to small villages even.

  • There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

    Jump

  • Unless you are near a train stop when it skyrockets

  • There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

    Jump

  • Small towns built around a train station are absolutely lovely though

  • There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

  • Basically just further proof that car traffic doesn't scale well. It's just an incredibly space inefficient way to get around.

  • Don't call before 9, my minutes aren't free

  • This just seems like more work for him!

  • You've basically just described golf's superior cousin: disc golf

  • Lawmakers in Germany call for TikTok ban to be considered

    Jump

  • Now that the internet (and particularly social media) has become weaponized as a very cost-effective tool for cyber-warfare, it's basically inevitable that the fragmentation will continue to happen.

    It's a bit uncomfortable because it goes against the idealism of the early internet which I still cling to, but I just don't see any way that the current situation is sustainable.
