  • The state of Linux phones in 2025

  • The new head of the CDC has no training in medicine and once helped Peter Thiel develop man-made islands floating outside U.S. territory

    Jump

  • Coverage of "The Principality of Sealand" and the popularity of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon probably contributed to the enthusiasm, as well as to the creation of Bitcoin.

  • Leaked emails link NHS data privatiser Palantir to Jeffrey Epstein

    Jump

  • The liability is obviously not high enough if keeping and sharing this data works out positively. Even if the parties involved weren't obviously evil, the risk to the people is too high for them to accept the risk with only trivial, speculative improvements.

  • Politicians Will Not Save Us.

    Jump

  • Politics are either practical or vanity.

  • Blu-ray ripping on linux

    Jump

  • I just used Handbrake, but there has been one or two discs that it couldn't see, presumably due to some overly aggressive protection.

  • Donald Trump health fears erupt again over strange spot on hand

    Jump

  • Who can really follow the man in the wide castle?

  • Being far right is so corny

  • Naivevil

  • ‘She’s the one that matters’: the growing influence of Melania on Donald Trump

    Jump

  • Nancy was effectively president for Reagan's second term. People were mad about Biden, but they also hid how far gone Reagan was. FDR, too.

  • Trump plan to end free elections in 2026 and 2028 revealed

    Jump

  • Cute.

  • I don't think that degree of optimism is justified.

    My notes on this are a little old, but:

    No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.

  • So I tried windows tiling...

    Jump

  • It depends, up to four works for some apps depending on monitor size, but otherwise I do the same thing as @Nibodhika@lemmy.world.

    Overlapping window managers, the most common type in use by far, just seem crazy to me. Windows almost never use the available monitor space, and they have to constantly be wrangled around each other so that… you can drag something instead of using the clipboard, I guess?

  • You don't usually have them all open at the same time, you minimize some. Or maybe you add more monitors.

  • The American Child Death Toll Is Mortifying

    Jump

  • Thanks for digging into that!

  • Do you have any references for this? I only ask because "cities are dangerous shitholes" has been a talking point of reactionaries for a long time.

  • Waving that Presidential pardon above Maxwell's head

    Jump

  • There's a lot of hope being pinned on the probably uncorroborated testimony of a coconspirator being questioned by agents of a prime suspect. I have a hard time seeing either side accepting anything that comes out of it.

  • Trump Cognitively Declines In Front Of The World During Meet With NATO Leader

    Jump

  • A lot of hate for this, but it's true.

    Incumbents aren't to blame for voters picking the familiar, that's a symptom of another problem.

    We're seeing what an inexperienced government looks like now. They don't know the limitations they're supposed to have, and they don't care.

  • Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft: why it's happening & why it could fail.

    Jump

  • Talk is cheap. They may say anything to buy time as they make deals between the EU, Canada, and Japan that exclude the US.

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • Functionally, it's the default because links do open in it, but why isn't it able to tell that it's already set?

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • No, I wouldn't. It's how I can tell if the setting actually took!
