I mean, you’re not that far off. Those old canals really are kinda like watery railroads, in terms of being designed for narrow cargo-carrying vehicles that can’t go up hills easily.

Pretty sure Trump has been chauffeured all his life. He doesn’t give enough of a shit about his car to appoint it to anything.

At least the AI-related videos of his I’ve seen were about running models locally, and for relatively legitimate use cases (training text-to-speech voices and commanding Home Assistant), so it could be worse.

It’s not his fault that the political landscape shifted on him making his activities now illegal, but the charges aren’t bogus.

In addition to the other reasons others have pointed out why your position is bullshit, imagine actually defending an ex-post-facto law.

WTF? Joining NATO is the security guarantee! It should be 1000% crystal obvious to everybody by now that anything less is inadequate.

The premise makes no fucking sense, aside from being a reflection of negotiating with irrational morons.

Can we have “break up the tech giants” along with it?

Pathetic compared to a 150+ MPH train. You don’t even fucking realize how much of a backwards, loser country we’re in.

Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.

This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”

If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.

Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?

Aw, thanks! 😊

I assume you know, but Jimmy Pesto’s original voice actor was fired and (too briefly) imprisoned for Jan 6. He’s literally one of the traitorous turkeys Trump pardoned.

At this point, calling Trumpists “lunatics” is an insult to the moon. We need new superlatives to express the depths of how fucked up they are.

This should’ve been two sentences, max:

Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools?

False. New York schools have used Arabic numerals for centuries because that’s what “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0” are, dumbass!

Yes, most other countries’ aircraft carriers are diesel-powered and don’t have the energy budget to run steam (or electromagnetic) catapults the way the US’ nuclear-powered carriers do, so they use ski jumps instead and make do with lighter aircraft.

For more info, look up “CATOBAR” and “STOBAR”. Edit: or “STOVL” in the case of the carrier pictured, the HMS Prince of Wales.

TFW Cloudflare is down but I can’t tell Lemmy about it because… Cloudflare is down (and Lemmy.world uses Cloudflare).

They’re trying to incite food riots to manufacture a pretext to declare martial law and give Trump even more absolute power.
