  • ICE agents point guns at bystanders during violent arrest in Maryland | “What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” one witness yelled. “Go ahead. Shoot me.”

  • ICE isn't so tough when they're not slamming defenseless women into the ground, are they?

  • Washing machines connected to the Internet is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard

  • Jimmy Kimmel nabs highest ratings in over a decade with post-suspension episode

  • I don't normally watch Kimmel but I did watch that last episode to contribute to the Streisand effect

    Jump

  • Disney wants Kimmel to tone down his rhetoric, as well as provide an apology to Charlie Kirk's family and donate to his right-wing organization, Turning Point USA

    Ahahaha, fuck Disney!

  • Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates

  • Microsoft's plan to end Windows 10 support next month — which may make an estimated 400 million PCs obsolete

    I don't get this. Can't those PCs update to the new version? Yes, I am very aware that win11 is a shit show and win10 was better.

    But Ubuntu also has a similar support policy for updates:

    Ubuntu LTS versions get five years of updates, while non-LTS only gets nine months.

    Would all the Linux versions out there be subjected the same 15 years of updates??

  • DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing

  • You're probably being sarcastic here, but just to clarify, horseshoe theory is nonsense invented by centrists. Take Kirk for example. The left hated him for being a terrible human being. Groypers hated him for not being a terrible enough human being. Superficially the same, but trying to accomplish vastly different outcomes.

  • Not that hypocrisy carries any weight on the right, but for those who are keeping score. (alt version in body)

  • 24 years of nuclear waste from the Maine Yankee powerplant

    Jump

  • How much waste does solar produce for the same amount of energy to be delivered? A quick calculation from a very generous 30k kWh per solar panel lifetime results in almost 4 million solar panels for same amount of energy. How much of that waste would end up in a garbage heap? What is the environment cost to mine the materials for those solar panels? The environmental cost of the land needed to deploy them?

    Saying "it's like photosynthesis" is the most useless, reductionist analysis you could possibly do.

  • Is It Just Me?

  • I don't know if there's data out there (yet) to support this, but I'm pretty sure constantly using AI rather than doing things yourself degrades your skills in the long run. It's like if you're not constantly using a language or practicing a skill, you get worse at it. The marginal effort that it might save you now will probably have a worse net effect in the long run.

    It might just be like that social media fad from 10 years ago where everyone was doing it, and then research started popping up that it's actually really fucking terrible for your health.
