  • Trump shares map that renames New Mexico as ‘New America’ | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • Last week someone on here was going to name their kitten Crunchwrap but sadly got vetoed by their wife.

  • LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices

    Jump

  • I didn't read the article and I've only watched the "trailer" for Gamers Nexus' series on this so far, but I bet they actually do check this at some point.

  • Congress torched after 'useless' vote to condemn issue that doesn't exist: 'Embarrassing'

    Jump

  • There was time this year for a protest vote, but that was back in the primaries.

  • Help name my cat.

    Jump

  • Taco Cat! It's a palindrome!

  • Google Maps renames “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” even faster than US government

    Jump

  • They might be stuck with single source hardware from Motorola now, they announced recently there's a good chance they can't support the Pixel 11.

  • Flock Safety's controversial CEO just got a taste of his own medicine

    Jump

  • It's on world so probably not, there's a couple of instances that are more willing to allow it for egregious assholes though.

  • Sunday service

    Jump

  • Honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with those existing and pastors using those on occasion. When it's every week it's a problem, but if they're sick with a stomach bug or something most of the week I think it's fine. Pre-prepared is probably better, and reusing an old one is funnier, but stuff happens.

  • Massive funding for Linux projects, Nintendo nukes emulation, Graphene Comes to more phones - The Linux Experiment

    Jump

  • Honestly the weirdness is from it being federated, and I'm not sure there's a way to make this more seamless without some serious downsides. Peertube also uses the ActivityPub protocol like Lemmy (although currently there's no connectivity between the two like we have with Mastodon) and Lemmy can do some weird stuff too - assuming you're not on an app, I can link to this post on my instance, and you won't be able to interact with it.

    (A "view this post on another instance" option might be a nice thing to have, I wonder if there's enough interest for me to try to implement one?)

  • Can piracy be good for the media industry?

    Jump

  • Anecdotally, a friend of mine pirated the Crash Team Racing remake because they loved the original as a child but they were furious about the microtransactions shoved into the remake just after launch. They wanted a couch co op game to play with their roommate and that was already loaded up in their emulator so that's what they played... roommate went on to buy the remake because it's one of the best kart racers on PlayStation. Piracy resulted in a sale they wouldn't have otherwise made.

  • Half off

    Jump

  • I think it's supposed to be a Steamboat Willie hat.

  • Right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE

    Jump

  • The mugshot is... something, lol. Droopy dog levels of eye bags.

  • Omarchy Linux Just Got $8 Million From Tech's Biggest Names

    Jump

  • Whether that $8 million and a nonprofit structure are what bring about the "year of the Linux desktop" is a question for another time

    It'd be the "no, we have the year of the Linux desktop at home" version.

  • Judge denies Minnesota bid to extradite ICE officer from Texas, paving way for his release

    Jump

  • Most likely. He's currently being held in a border city, also

    Minnesota officials believe Castro could flee the country, citing calls he made from jail to a woman in Mexico, talking “about marrying her and buying a house in Mexico when he is released,” according to the lawsuit.

    Anyone know if Mexico would have the ability to extradite him to Minnesota? I know Mexico doesn't want that murderer immigrant running around.

  • What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

    Jump

  • classic British shows never really survive getting Americanised

    this is eighth doctor erasure /s

  • Motorola's 2027 flagships will officially support GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • Honestly I can't tell the difference with the launcher compared to what shipped on the phone, not that I used that very much - but I upgraded from an LG G8 and the whole thing looks very familiar. The camera app feels very much like the one on my LG but I suspect someone who is more into photography than me would be frustrated by it. But the standout awful stock app has got to be the clock, the ui is clunky and feels awful to use, the tones are obnoxious, and it has all the visual flair of a C student project.

    I've mostly just replaced it with the alarm on my smart watch.

  • YouTube Premium is getting yet another price hike for users across the globe

    Jump

  • I finally replaced it but until several months ago I was watching a lot of YouTube on a ~2018 Amazon Kindle tablet... one of the reasons I replaced it was because YouTube on Firefox chugged on that thing near the end. NewPipe managed to get like six more months of semi-acceptable use out of it (I was still sick of the ads and preinstalled app-ads) until I found a good deal on a used Pixel tablet locally. A dedicated app is less bloated than the web interface, but I guess this is more of an argument for NewPipe and other third party frontends than Google's still bloated app.

    Mostly unrelated, but anyone got suggestions for repurposing an old Kindle fire? Might be interesting to see how much ADB can debloat it and maybe turn it into a retro emulation device since I don't need a digital photo frame.

  • We ignored the signs.

    Jump

  • Found the gen Z kid lol.

    Anyone who actually used it was painfully aware of that fact. If anyone wanted to make a phone call, no more internet for you, and in some cases incoming phone calls could bounce you offline. Some people paid for a dedicated phone line for the internet but that was extremely rare for personal use.

  • Motorola's 2027 flagships will officially support GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • I bought a new in box old stock Pixel 9a for $350 USD a couple months ago from eBay. This was just before that Cop City protestor gave a duress password to border patrol, I wonder if that caused a bit of a spike in demand for old Pixels?

  • Nvidia AI Chip Found in New Russian Missile, Ukraine Says

    Jump

  • Wasn't there some historical leader with mad beef with someone they were at war with, she requested several pigeons as part of peace negotiations and she released them to fly back carrying burning twigs and absolutely destroyed the enemy city?

    Edit: Added a necessary word lol
