I personally try to reverse smartphone usage. Got myself a dumbphone and try to use a computer for everything else. The reasoning behind this is, I want it to be a conscious decision to do internet things at a defined physical place, instead of mindlessly using the smartphone everywhere. This should encourage me to reconnect to the world around me.
I’m still in a transition phase though.
That’s an excellent idea, particularly because that service would use AI against the type of people who typically shill or welcome AI products. Let’s build more of those.
This is a train wreck from beginning to end, with only one winner: Trump.
It was stupid to call for an impeachment vote in the first place, because it had zero chance to succeed. It’s quite lame as a symbolic gesture too, because a failure is a failure in the books no matter what the intentions are. And you put your own party members in a position where they can only lose either way. This is terrible from a political strategy standpoint unless your explicit goal is to divide the party, which in turn weakens the party even more. A sad and unnecessary shit show all the way. The only hope left is that Trump dies laughing.
This might be the wrong place to ask. But anyway, can someone please explain the difference between Lemmy and PieFed to me? I’ve searched a bit and it seems that both are doing roughly the same thing, but with a different fediverse protocol or something?
and got a promotion for it
You can just use powershell. It’s that easy. /s
Ding dong the witch is dead. I remember that. Good Times.
Catholics make up only about 25% of the US population. US Americans also seem to have their own flavor of Christianity, where being nasty and cruel to your neighbor and killing everything you don’t like weirdly is part of their beliefs.
I know it’s probably necessary to reiterate these points to people who still don’t get it, over and over again. But as someone with a functioning brain I find these “stating the obvious” headlines very tiring.
Also the stakes are quite high to become the greatest war criminal of all time.
Of course not. Visas can be revoked at any time for any reason. Why do people always expect some kind of benefit for their donations? /s
little choice for amazon the logistic company
Depends on where you live. Here in Germany we have a few alternatives, like “Otto” and a few others with specialisations like electronics. Some of them have a marketplace just like Amazon and they even offer the same cheap chinese crap that Amazon has to offer. So you could feel right at home.
Maybe vassals is too strong-worded to describe the phenomenon. But living in western Europe I have firsthand experience in the relationship between the US and my country in the past decades. The US offered protection to the “free world”, but of course this comes at a price. The US had to be regarded as a role model in many ways, and everything that came out of the US, was copied and implemented verbatim. Which made the US the de facto puppet master and they really liked that role. This relationship was carefully orchestrated and nurtured by the US from the end of WW2 onwards, and the effect was that European countries embraced this strategy and viewed the US in a positive light, no obvious power play or bullying necessary. But the fact is, there always was a strong dependency on the US, and this was by US design.
Trump doesn’t realize that there was good reason for choosing such a “soft” strategy, he can’t because bullying is his only available tactic. He will soon find out that his perceived european vassal states don’t respond as well to hostility and blackmail as he might have expected.
They already want to declare people criticizing Trump as mentally ill in order to silence them. That speed run is in full effect.
Insert “Always has been” meme here
Is there any way to liberate existing ebooks now that Amazon has pulled the plug on downloading? An unfortunate friend of mine has “bought" Books from Amazon for thousands of euros and he just now finds out that he doesn’t seem to own them. I’d help him free his books if there is a possibility.
It could be that the Nazis recruited some black people abroad, like you said in legions, as mercenaries or in colonies to do the dirty work for them, but they never ever would have given them high ranking titles due to their fucked up race ideology.
No, there were none. Where do you get your history knowledge? From anime?
Similar to the crypto hype. Adoption is imminent, bro. Just a few more months, bro. Please, bro
