I have 2 daughters, 6 and 8 years old, and I couldn't care less who or how they'll love one day. As long as they are happy. Who am I to deny them happiness?! If I had 2 boys, I'd say the exact same thing.

I'll never understand people thinking otherwise.

I don't think there is an actual target for this price. But I bet my left testicle it's to push for subscription passes instead of a single purchase.

Edit: fuck it, take the right one as well

Incredible, just few hours ago I read a sarcastic piece how Trump will blame this mess on Obama. And now he did it for real.

Nothing new, but this orange piece of shit is the bigest joke the human race has ever brought up. And americans voted him into office..... TWICE. 10 facepalms a second are not enough for this epic failure....

Even if, big enough of a margin would have to vote for him to hide the cheating. This sucker doesn't deserve 1 vote, but has gotten a big chunk of legit votes regardless.

And my silly young ass back in the 90s thought "Dude, the future will be so AWESOME!".... If I could punch my young self, I would.

I do not trust apple a single second, that they do not have their own backdoors in their OS. I can't prove it, but I bet they scan their customers just as much as google does. They just say they don't to justify their horrendous prices AND milk them for marketing purposes. Double-wammy.

Record breaking heat waves, record breaking storms in strength, flash floods, food shortages - all the good stuff.

Thank god we switched to paper straws and let the ultra rich use their private jets 5 times a day, or we would be really fucked.

Say about Mamdani what you will. But he gets shit done. That's not his first win and more will follow I bet.

Imagine all politicians would only be half like that....

Well, you have to see it in a bit of a context. Many votes in Switzerland are concluded on a much tighter scale. Sometimes stuff gets accepted or declined by 50.5% or even less. 55% against the initiative is pretty decent, especially when it looked like it would pass for a long time. Me personally I would have liked to see 95% against this crap, but this has never happened on any matter that was voted on, so...

Also, the cities and suburbs, with the supposed "problems of immigration" right in front of their doorstep, all declined the initiative. It was the country side and small communities that aren't even affected by immigration, that voted for it. This shows once again, that fear is a powerful tool to mobilize masses. Thankfully it didn't work this time but we gotta stay alert and fight the narrative of fearmongering every single day.

Neither, but I'm fed up with Reddit regardless. Open Source and self hosted is something I prefer.

And if everybody praises the alternatives, but nobody is using it, we'll never get shit done.

This is good, but it's already out of control. If you walk past a parked Tesla, just for example, you'll be filmed. If you walk past any public building, you'll be filmed. Public place? Damn right, filmed. As soon as you step out of your house, you're recorded. And despite all the promises made, I bet much more data lands on some obscure server farms or AI Data centers, than they exclaim.

The thing is - no matter how rich he'll ever be or how much power he'll get. He is, and forever will be, one of the biggest fucking losers this world has ever seen.

This gives me enough comfort to sleep at night.

It was obviously a cynical joke.

Also, it's not about the straws per se - it's about that us everyday normies are being asked to change our ways to combat climate change and I'm totally in favor of that. We have to be more aware of our ways and where we can switch our behaviours to combat climate change.

But all it needs is an ultra rich dude flying around in his private jet or spend weeks on his yacht driving around and all our efforts become meaningless.

Change the little guy, for sure - but also grab the rich fucks by their balls as well. And so far nothing like that is happening.

God I hope Ladybird will work. I'm so done with Google. And the fact that Firefox is dependant on their money leaves a bad aftertaste, everytime I open a browser. Even though I use Zen.

Fingers crossed for Ladybird and a stable Alpha release in 2026 🤞

It's like the US intent is to be as unandearing as possible for this worldcup. They shot over the finishline after electing trump for a second time but you gotta hand it to them - they do a really good job in that area.

From being the shining star of liberty and democracy to a second tier wannabe dictatorship that seems to get a hard on by blocking certain people from entering to compete and work at the worldcup.... Bunch of clowns, seriously...
