If Harris wins, Trump loses. That much is certain. Can’t say much about what will happen next, because there’s no real way of knowing.

Also, is nobody going to mention how typically, the incumbent stays as the next candidate, while the contender from the last election is replaced, because they were clearly not good enough for a win?

While this time, It’s the opposite: the last winner stepped down, the last loser is a candidate once more. Isn’t that weird???

No, why? It’s not like it would hurt them that much. FINE THEM HARDER!!!

I’ve had issues with it for file sharing, so far that I’m sticking to LocalSend, but I really need to explore KDEConnect further, as I haven’t explored the rest of its features.

A lot of examples people here are giving, are types of doublespeak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP07oyFTRXc

It’s scary how our corporate overlords watch all the distopian films and are like: Let’s turn that into a reality!

I recently (as in, 2 days ago) set up a self hosted blog on Gitlab Pages using Hugo. As it’s a static site, hosting is free, though the domain is paid. I was actually just about to start writing a new blog post after catching up with Lemmy. The thing about your own blog is that there are no requirements, constraints or limitations. My first article, about the naming of this blog, and how much I suck at naming things, was a pleasure to write because at times my mind went to whether that was the best way to write or portray something, but then I stopped myself. This is my blog, my rules, and as such, I have complete freedom over it. And it made writing a joy, because I could just be honest and unfiltered. It also quickly made me realise how much I’d hate writing for a big website, where they are likely to have restrictions on some things, or requirements, or promotion and monetisation, that could suck the joy out of doing this, making it something I’d absolutely hate.

But, to each their own. I guess it really depends on what topics you’d like to cover and how you’d like to cover them.

I feel bad for not hearing about it until now. This looks and sounds amazing. Too bad it was killed by stripe and tight budgets.

Employees are getting so expensive, they’re replaced with robot mushrooms? Didn’t see that on my 2024 bingo card.

But it will happen, or at least be attempted if the technology gets there. You just wait for it.

I don’t remember this one, but it gives me strong “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” vibes. Am I right?

Great, but the fictitious financial system is based on the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If you want to see the US collapsing, then I guess it’s true that

Some men just want to watch the world burn

TLDR: HMD, the company behind modern Nokia phones, is making repairable devices, but software support is only 3 years, so if you buy it 1 year later on sale, and the phone screen breaks in a year or so, it will have less than a year left of security updates. The issue is that the bootloader can’t be easily unlocked either, so no Custom ROMs for you. You’re stuck with 3 years of support.

Fairphone do it right cuz they do software support properly as well.

Somewhat misleading title. What’s actually happening is an ad company that worked with Big Tech had tried to pitch the idea to their Big Tech partners (claiming devices are already listening so why not use it for ads), at which point the Big companies tried to distance themselves from the ads people (in theory). In practice,

Google removed CMG from the Partners Program after a review.

With no mention of whether the removal was related to the evil practices described above.

As a non-American, everybody jaywalked back in London. You just go with the crowd when there aren’t that many cars, so you don’t get hit by a car.

Second O replaced by LD?

Can confirm. Been using them for a few years and I have no complaints, only praise for it. I’ve specifically used the Nivea ones.

Ummm… last I checked your job as an org was to do XYZ with the aim of helping humanity improve, so… fuck you Altman and fuck your bullshit generator(s).

Difficult to say. For starters, we can’t know with certainty the full list of countries that were affected. We don’t know all the ways countries were affected. There’s so much we don’t know that it’s really impossible to say.

Yup. I’ve been using Eternity and I like it but it doesn’t mean you would.
