  • Too broke to get a VPN.

  • You seem to have a lot of requirements. Beggars can't be choosers

  • Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

    Jump

  • IMO this doesn't pass the smell test for average joes, especially with wildfires increasing in frequency

  • Trump begged foreign leaders 'like a dog' to help him out of Iran jam: DC insider

    Jump

  • Very interesting seeing how Pete Hegseth's philosophy of "maximum lethality" ran its course, and yet...

    • Iran has come out the other side with more leverage despite taking big losses
    • Trump is desperate to end his (illegally started) war
    • Conservatives like Tucker Carlson have turned on him for his statement on Easter and calls for genocide

    Seems like a complete miss. I'm reminded of this recent Atlantic article...

    Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places. He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before.

  • In your opinion, is space exploration necessary?

    Jump

  • The ingenuity and innovation required to make space travel possible (and efficient) is remarkable. Definitely falls into the category of "it's not the destination, it's the journey." It's important to continue challenging ourselves as a species.

  • Zohran Mamdani and the business exodus? New York's office real estate market is up under new mayor

    Jump

  • People live in places that are pleasant. It's why Silicon Valley billionaires threatening to leave California over the proposed wealth tax is ridiculous. It would take decades to move the industry and talent pool out of there. Plus the tax is based on where they lived on Jan. 1, 2026, so they're already on the hook.

  • Yeah this

    Jump

  • There's also often a conflict of interest between their videos' subject matter and what classes they're selling

  • India turns to ‘trusted friend’ Russia for oil supply as Iran war energises ties

    Jump

  • All my homies hate theocracies

  • Yeah this

  • Fireship is owned by private equity if you didn't know

  • Lol, get fucked Google

    Jump

  • Couldn't it get flagged and manually reviewed leading to a ban?

  • Anyone got any informative YouTube channels that DON’T use AI slop?

    Jump

  • Still loading fine for me. Have a VPN or adblock enabled?

  • How much proof is there that smart tvs and phones listen to you?

    Jump

  • Knowing what you're watching on the screen is different than what you're saying out loud near the TV or remote. Plus almost all TVs can run without an internet connection too, which renders this concern somewhat null

  • How much proof is there that smart tvs and phones listen to you?

    Jump

  • There's no need for uploading a constant audio feed or transcript (something that would be easy for researchers to detect in the network logs) to show you an advertisement like that.

    Your phone knows all the things you wrote in the post, namely: your location, that you are physically with those friends, the wifi network, the search history of everyone there. Because of all that metadata, advertisers probably know you were playing a TTRPG, maybe even the specific one

  • Gimp 3.2 is officially released. The game has changed. Adobe just got punched in the face.

    Jump

  • GNU Image Manipulation Program

  • whats your favorite long running and active media franchise?

    Jump

  • Aren't most long running and active media franchises just cash grabs?

  • How does mullvad compare to ther VPNs?

    Jump

  • I prefer Windscribe

  • ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’

    Jump

  • With green card holders actively being targeted now and birth rates low, we can expect U.S. population growth to dry up. This has a ton of negative economic impacts that will be felt long after Trump is dead. And it's liable to be exacerbated by severed international relationships and an increase in movement away from U.S. companies

  • Contributing to OSS without technical skills

    Jump

  • Docs or QA. If you find bugs that you're able to test, it can be helpful to add a comment whether you were able to validate it or not. A lot of times basic information is missing, like screenshots, logs, and versions. This means step one for the maintainer is probing for more info

  • Are AI wives a thing now?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure the people who think they can find love in AI are the people who fall in love with AI. Same principle with cults-- virtually no one joins a cult knowingly. They're just looking for connection and find it in a weird place
