How come nobody does anything about North Korea?
  • We all see and hear what goes on over there

    No, you don't.

    Kim will execute kids if they don’t cheer hard enough at his birthday party or something

    Yeah, and then a year later those same kids appear in public alive and well, as it's happened again and again.

    "In nk people have to push the trains and they kill your family if you don't whistle merrily while doing it".

  • Guys this is the future!
  • Dude, writing code is the fun part, reviewing code written by others is time-consuming, difficult and boring. Why would you automate the fun out of coding and force yourself to review even more shit?

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?
  • My usual place is 250m from my home, or around 3 minutes walking. There's like another 5 supermarkets, 5 bakeries, 4 greengrocers and 3 butchers about 500 meters away (off the top of my head, there could be more).

  • Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’
  • "I signed up to kill brown people in the middle east, not this"

  • It's Official, Switch 2 Has Sold Over 3.5 Million Units Globally In Its First Four Days
  • It depends. Do you want to play witch 2 exclusives and don't have a pc? Then switch 2, you don't have an option there.

    Do you want to play 3rd party games or nintendo preswitch (and actually some switch games too)? Deck, the games will be cheaper, you can buy bundles, you won't have to pay for online, you can install from steam, gog, epic, etc. It's a pc.

    As you already have a switch, I'd wait on the 2 if you don't need to play MK World right now. If you wish you could play PC and older console games on the go get a deck (I did and it's great) but if you don't care much about the PC backlog you can just wait until the 2 has some more exclusives our and/or you cand find it cheaper. I'm currently revisiting some PS2 games alongside newer indie titles and it's very cool.

  • Yeah but it's not like this is the best literature has to offer, nobody would really lose anything by just not reading a very mid saga.

  • a harry potter fan's guide to navigating pride month
  • Did the rest of your books, local library and internet connection burn in a freak accident? Why couldn't you just read anything else, which would also likely be better?

  • Florida ban on kids using social media likely unconstitutional, judge rules
  • I mean, the left has communities, but as soon a s they begin organising .worlders call them tankies.

  • public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird)
  • Eh, I don't know. I've worked developing software for the administration and their computer use is just the applications (web or native) they had built to perform their tasks. The OS is very irrelevant to them, some orgs even had shortcuts to these native programs put in their intranet, back in the days of java applets.

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System
  • Can't you just make them turn off the computers/phones and do it by hand?

  • he loves his bribes
  • I believe they meant that China will become the dominant power after the US finishes torpedoing itself.

  • Anon blames millennials
  • Nah, not really, it's only shit if you only play AAA suit-driven slop. There's a ton of awesome games being released and the older ones are still there to (re) play.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing
  • Everyone should get out now because Plex has started to ruin things and you should seek alternatives now, while you have time, and not wait until they finish shitting the bed.

    And no, jellyfin won't do anything like this because they don't have control over how you use it and don't force their cloud on you.

  • Trump says EU must buy $350B of US energy to get tariff relief
  • That's why they want Greenland.

  • Trump says EU must buy $350B of US energy to get tariff relief
  • Most of these are not really a problem though, even less for the kind of psychos that run the EU. Sanctions can be lifted, and Ukraine shouldn't be able to do much against both Russia and the EU. While renewables and nuclear are increasing, Russian energy could help until they are 100% ready. Voters won't do much if they are told "see, the US is trying to scam us, and in these trying times we've struck a deal with Russia and you'll be paying less for power and heat".

    The problem with striking a deal with Russia is that it's not the most reliable partner right now (your 3rd point), but the people in charge can ignore the rest and have no problems sleeping.

    Edit: this is not a defense of Russia but a critique of the powers that be in the EU.

  • Do you prefer winter over summer and spring?
  • Yes. I love the cold, lack of sweat, comfy clothes and being cozy at home while it's cold outside.

    I dislike that hanging clothes tomdry takes forever unless it's an exceptionally dry day.

  • Tesla investors brace for another year of sales decline as Musk backlash grows
  • Nah, his shittiness goes way back. We shouldn't accept anything less than seppuku.

  • Anon is worried about men
  • the loss of the free/cheap third spaces, lockdowns, and social media

    I think that the growing push towards individualism and the dismantling of any kind of reciprocal relationship network are the main cause of this. I feel like years ago people could form sincere bonds and relationships but now everything is as atomised as possible and sincere interactions have been replaced with ironic performances to try to maintain as much distance as possible, even if unconsciously.

    This obviously is great for the rich and powerful, so it's encouraged in media, pop culture, workplace regulations and organization, etc.

  • LG is rolling out a new terms of use and privacy policy agreement. Looking pretty ugly over here with my "Smart TV". What can I do?
  • It's easy. "They must have changed something and it broke. Luckily I planned ahead and got the firetv so you could still watch everything as usual".

    Bonus points because it's not a lie, they changed the tos, and you are now this clever guy that prepared a plan b in case something stopped working because you didn't want them to suffer. Intelligent, loving Melatonin.
