  • Spanish premier calls Israel 'genocidal state,' says Spain 'does not do business' with it

    Jump

  • Admirable, but I do wish words like these came from more world leaders, ideally before the only thing Israel still has left to do in Gaza is bulldozing all the ruble and burning all the bodies...

  • Trump Administration Moves to Block the U.S. Travel of Mexican Politicians Who It Says Are Linked to the Drug Trade

  • Hospital tells family brain-dead Georgia woman must carry fetus to birth because of abortion ban

    Jump

  • This is ghoulish, just absolutely insane, cruel and incomprehensibly awful. Seriously, what in the everloving fuck?! Holy hell, I'm actually a bit nauseous now, wow. Literal dystopia, right there...

  • Lemmy vs PieFed

    Jump

  • Really? That's awesome! At work now, but let me try to do that later, thanks so much for the info!

  • Lemmy vs PieFed

    Jump

  • PieFed looks fantastic, but I wish there was a seamless way to migrate to it from Lemmy - I spent a LOT of time customizing my feed, blocking some communities, subscribing to others, that sort of thing, and I honestly don't feel like doing it all from scratch...

    Actually, Is there a way to automate it in some way? Probably not, since PF is structured differently, right?

  • "They" are on it 24/7

    Jump

  • Exactly. I'm almost fucking fifty, maybe that's why I find this patronizing tone so annoying, get off my lawn and all... ;)

  • The infantilization of error messages annoys me to no end. Sure Error: exception FF02345A0 in module flarghbhgy.py is not immediately helpful, but at least it allows me to search for a solution or a cause. Recently though, a frighteningly large portion of software developers decided for some reason that Oopsie poopsie, someone made a boo boo is a better error message, especially if it's accompanied by a cute whimsical image of a kitten or some shit...

  • Man burns 100 Beachwood Public Library books on Jewish, African American, LGBTQ+ education: report

    Jump

  • That, and every replaced book should have a big dedication inside, saying something like "purchased with a generous donation of Mr [this twit's name]"

  • Trump: The EU is ‘nastier than China’

    Jump

  • He has too little mental capacity left, so he simply parrots whatever the last person he talked to said to him. He also has no opinions or stances of his own, so he's trivial to manipulate: just find the last person who talked to him while stroking his ego and you'll know whose words these are, because they are not Trump's...

  • Matt Gaetz visited El Salvador’s mega-prison and saw people drained of hope. He then pitched it to Stephen Miller

    Jump

  • I hear a lot of people, mostly (if not exclusively) from the right side of the political scene refer to different things as "satanic" or "demonic", but how on earth do you not look at ghouls like Gaetz or Miller without wondering if they are not actually hellspawn feeding on human suffering? It's really like they need it for sustenance, so they aim to create as much suffering as they can to never go hungry again...

  • multi-blockchain ‘virtual town hall of engagement opportunities’

    Wow, this single phrase managed to make me puke a bit inside my mouth three times - might be a new record...

    “Those of us in Web3 gaming are well aware that things aren’t working, but few seem to want to buck the status quo trend because the road less traveled isn’t for the feint at heart; it’s for pioneers and those who dare to defy,” Smart concludes. “And so, here I am, once again at the cusp of one of my greatest challenges, and what I believe to be my last hoorah, if you will.”

    Derek smart, humble as always...

  • Weather Service staff urged not to visit sites alone after threats from militia group that believes radars are ‘weather weapons’

    Jump

  • No reason to apologize - that was a great, thoughtful writeup, you make some great points, and I enjoyed reading it a lot! I'll probably need to re-read it a bit more slowly to make sure I fully absorb it, but it was a great read nonetheless!

    I'm looking at the US from the outside, luckily, but I see it to a lesser extent in other countries too - the rise of painfully stupid, violent rhetoric, the rampant anti-intellectualism, people being proud of their ignorance... And I just don't want to see (much less experience) the massive amount of suffering it will inevitably bring. Perhaps I am overdramatic with the "point of no return for humanity," but the self-correction you mention will indeed be a rough one, and intakes me really sad. There's very little I can do about it though, so I guess I just need to help people close by that I can help, and accept that things will have to get much worse before they gett better :/

  • Yet another result of a failed education system and proliferation of idiotic conspiracy theories through social media...

    I sound (and feel) more and more defeatist every day, but seriously, is there anything that can realistically be done to prevent further spread of idiocracy at this stage? Are we beyond the point of no return as a species? It's depressing...

  • Japan's historic work ethic is declining—45% of workers admit they're quiet quitting

    Jump

  • I much prefer the term "acting your wage". I'm not doing the bare minimum - I'm doing what I'm paid for. You want me to do more? Guess what, there's one way to motivate me to do so...

  • Elon Musk Suffers Late-Night Meltdown Over Murdoch Newspaper

    Jump

  • And yet again, he suddenly cares about truth and ethics now, because something directly and negatively affects him...

    How do you deal with people like that? Is there a way to make them understand that empathy is not actually a weakness and helping others is important and good, even if it doesn't benefit you personally at that very moment?

  • Because that's what it's all about - someone else suffering more. The objective is to increase the amount of suffering in the world, since we clearly don't have enough of it just yet, but making sure others suffer more than us. Because trying to make it so that everyone suffers less is communist, unamerican and bad, I guess...

  • The BBC deepfaked Agatha Christie to teach a writing course

    Jump

  • It uses insights from the real Christie and is scripted by academics — so the actual content appears to be human-made and not generated from a model that’s been fed all of her work.

    ...but we slapped "AI" on it, because fucking AI has to be in EVERYTHING, them's the rules! Would you also like to purchase AI enhanced toilet paper and AI raised cucumbers by the way?

    Fucking hell, the AI bubble can't burst fast enough, I'm so sick and tired of it...

  • Sundar Pichai says the DOJ’s antitrust plan could kill Google Search
