  • Trump may launch Trump-branded mobile phone and a wireless service that could compete with the likes of Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

  • I recently found my first mobile phone model in a museum. I know the feeling.

  • You can just use powershell. It's that easy. /s

  • 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.

  • American living standards are a sacrifice Trump is willing to make

  • 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.

  • Maybe just try to stay reasonably healthy to annoy them. Eating crap leads to obesity and other health issues which make you weak, unhappy, dependent, isolated and (if you live in the US) also poor. Don't let them win by making it easier for them to have power over you.

  • 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.

  • In Response to Amazon preventing to download books you bought: Some DRM free bookstores and publishers

    Jump

  • 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.

  • I think the most important part to understand with lemmy is that the choice of server doesn't matter that much because you can read and post on all the other servers as well. Unless you choose hexbear or whatever it is called these days. :)

    But it really is a problem when people can't be bothered to choose from more than exactly one. I mean if you can make a selection from several different brands of toilet paper in a supermarket then why is it so hard to choose a server?

  • As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders

  • Even the part about Google Search only highlights the AI crap and skips over the real problem of increasingly worse search results. The whole article is more of a rant from a user's perspective and there aren't any real insights.

  • Pennsylvania elected official resigns after she made a gesture similar to Elon Musk's controversial gesture

    Jump

  • Interesting. I always thought it was just some kind of a shared mannerism, didn't expect there to be actual instructions for that. Do you have any more info on that?

  • Pennsylvania elected official resigns after she made a gesture similar to Elon Musk's controversial gesture

    Jump

  • Coming from Germany where a gesture even vaguely similar to a nazi salute is a criminal offence I naturally have a different stance on that. What fascists enjoy doing (and this pattern can be seen all over the word) is provoke with gestures, statements and symbols that look very similar to their fascist equivalent and they always have that smirk. They think it's very clever. When called out on that of course they feign outrage and again with a slight smirk. Journalistic integrity needs to recognize these patterns instead of giving the "benefit of the doubt". They are being played otherwise because there will never be definitive proof if they did it or not.

  • What piece(s) of pop media have you not consumed that people would think you weird for not having consumed yet?

  • I fell asleep during all of the Harry Potter movies I tried to watch. That's not meant as a judgement on the quality of those movies. I just couldn't help it.

  • Copilot stops working on gender related subjects

    Jump

  • Why would anyone rename a perfectly valid variable name to some garbage term just to please our Microsoft Newspeak overlords? That would make the code less readable and more error prone. Also everything with human data has a field for sex or gender somewhere, driver's licenses, medical applications, biological studies and all kinds of other forms use those terms.

    But nobody really needs to use copilot to code, so maybe just get rid of it or use an alternative.

  • 50 years after Basic, most users still can't or won't program anything

    Jump

  • I can only think of one example where some simple programming skills could benefit ordinary users: Home Automation. All the more difficult stuff is already neatly packaged into ready to use modules, and the user doesn't have to worry about the ZigBee protocol or APIs or network ports to turn on a light bulb. Here some knowledge about conditionals, variables, loops can easily be used to program useful automations.
