  • Residents of French village say US defense chief Hegseth not welcome for D-Day visit

    Jump

  • Hegseth may not understand what D-Day was about

    In a perplexing speech Saturday commemorating the World War II D-Day landings in Normandy, France, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called for European leaders to combat what he implied was a second, modern D-Day—in which European countries were being “stormed by different dangerous ideologies” accompanied by “boats and men.”

    The original D-Day was the Allied invasion to liberate France from Nazi German domination: the defenders were Hitler’s National Socialists and their army, and the “dangerous ideology” was anti-fascism.

    Hegseth may have been confused—or, then again, we might be at the stage where our government explicitly aligns us with Nazism. After all, every single refugee we admitted to the US this year was supposedly fleeing anti-white persecution.

  • You're using the wrong software. I used to work for a company that makes POS software, and:

    • It's supported ipv4 for probably 20+ years
    • Hosted customers were moved to AWS by 2019
    • Latest GUI requires at least 1024x768, higher res is fine (there was only TTY in 1993, though)
    • Offline mode is supported
    • Printers were usually USB

  • DOJ Declares Trump Has Right to Bulldoze Statue of Liberty

  • That might not even be the weirdest hypothetical DOJ has argued this year.

    Trump DOJ Refuses to Rule Out Second Amendment Right to Nuclear Weapons

    Now, to be clear, DOJ lawyers do not argue that nuclear weapons are currently protected by the Second Amendment. But that is based on the view that nukes could not become popular enough to be protected, not because of the unmistakable threat to public safety that civilian access to nuclear warheads would create. Under this dangerous logic, if nuclear weapons become more common, all bets are off: Civilians might then be constitutionally entitled to acquire and possess them. And though the Trump DOJ’s discussion of nuclear weapons may seem farfetched, the same logic would apply to a grenade launcher or bazooka.

  • Canadian employers are paying the price after AI proves unable to replace laid off staff

    Jump

  • Just wait until the AI companies start trying to be profitable, and the AI that can replace staff costs more than the staff did.

  • Sure hope we make a crazy pivot to the NDP.

    Sorry, best we can do is get so angry at the Liberals for acting like Conservatives that we elect actual Conservatives. Trudeau really should followed through on electoral reform.

  • Wouldn't it be purple, at best? Flipping one Senate seat in a red state isn't going to make the whole place blue.

  • US has paused Estonia's ammunition supplies until end of Iran conflict, says minister

    Last week, Reuters news agency reported the U.S. had paused weapons deliveries to some allies as it continues its war in Iran. On Sunday, ERR said that Estonia's HIMARs' ammunition was the most affected by the decision.

    A NATO member can't get ammo for this type of launcher right now because the US blew its stock on this unnecessary war. By weapons from a country that gets into wars like that might not be the best idea if its ammunition supplies are that tight.

  • They'll move to another service, the service's expenses will spike, and then that service will switch to usage based billing, and then they'll have to look for another service again, and repeat the loop until they can run a good enough model locally.

  • Trump admin walks back recent Green Card announcement

  • The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the newspaper on Friday that its policy announcement last week was not a requirement for all applicants, but would rather be implemented “on a case-by-case basis.”

    i.e. the policy won't apply to anyone white enough or rich enough.

  • Trump may cancel 250th U.S. anniversary concerts after artists drop out, give speech instead

    U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday he's considering cancelling ‌a series of concerts commemorating the country's 250th anniversary after ​a number of artists ​dropped out, and he may give a speech instead.

    Trump said on the social media platform Truth Social that he ​was considering giving a speech ⁠and rally instead, and called ⁠himself "the Number One Attraction anywhere in ⁠the ⁠World, ​the man who gets much ​larger audiences ⁠than Elvis in his prime and he does so without a guitar," referring to the late Elvis Presley.

  • Lindsey Graham branded ‘pathetic’ for saying Nobel Peace Prize should be renamed Trump Prize

  • He's up for reelection this year and the primary is in a couple weeks, so he's probably trying extra hard to get Trump's endorsement.

  • Epic's Tim Sweeney slams Steam Deck price increase, labelling Gabe Newell greedy

  • Steam's top charts are by revenue, not volume. In Canada the 512GB OLED Steam Deck costs as much as about 12.5 copies of 007, so it'd take ~4800 Decks to bring in the same revenue as 60k copies of 007.

  • ‘Off Campus’ Is the Third Most-Watched Amazon Prime Video Series Debut of All Time

    Jump

  • Even with unclear metrics, per Amazon, the only debut series to ever outperform it have been “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “Fallout.” That means “Off Campus” is tracking above heavyweights like “The Boys,” “Reacher,” “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and more.

    "Fallout" is based on the games, "The Boys" is based on the comics, and everything else is based on books. Does Amazon have any big series that are original material? "Upload" is the first show I can think of that seems to be original, but I don't know if it's big.
