  • Melania humiliated as UK premiere of her movie gets single-digit ticket sales

    Jump

  • I dunno how you get a whole movie out of her story. What is there to tell?

    • Eastern European model
    • Sleeps her way into the family of a rich asshole
    • Has baby to secure long term seat at the dinner table
    • The end

    That's a story everyone has seen play out 1000 times already.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

    Jump

  • Yet again those at the top waste untold sums of money and resources on the new shiny and everyone else is left to deal with the mess they created. While they float away on their golden parachute.

  • Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’

    Jump

  • I JUST saw another article that said his approval ratings were fairly steady and line up with about what they were the first time around.

    Statistics and numbers can be made to say damn near anythin.

  • Judge limits ICE’s crowd control tactics following Minneapolis shooting

    Jump

  • The judge’s order prevents federal agents from arresting peaceful protesters.

    I want whatever the judge is smoking if they think this will stop them.

  • Columnist likens billionaires to Jews persecuted by Nazis

    Jump

  • Well there were a lot of Maga types in Nazi Germany that were against billionaires then.

  • ‘I don’t think we should have billionaires’: mayor Zohran Mamdani in his own words

    Jump

  • Because politicians like John Fetterman exist and people are paranoid that Mamdani will turn out like him. In other words now that he is in pull the ladder up behind him.

  • Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret

    Jump

  • All of the bad parts of esim are the fault of the carriers in my experience. I'm on a MVNO that created their own method of generating a new esim and moving the number via their website and app and it is painless for the most part.

    They only let you do it 4 times a billing cycle though without talking to customer service. Which I suspect is the fault of the upstream carrier somehow.

  • when you die you get to see all your life stats

    Jump

  • I bet they don't even keep the stats anymore for Keith Richards.

  • 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced

    Jump

  • Plex has been off limits to me for along time. Just the fact they want to require auth with their central service for something I use for reasons rights holders would love to sue me into third world poverty over (muh Linux ISOs) is enough reason.

    Them demanding that auth hook into the server makes me uneasy about what sort of metatdata they are currently, or could exfiltrate later on, should they want to or be demanded to.

    Whole thing stinks of willingly being part of a honeypot.

  • Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

    Jump

  • The biggest selling points of Windows these days is familiarity, backwards compatibility, and gaming.

    And the only one of those not under active threat by someone is the backwards compatibility. Which means there is an active shelf life on the viability of Windows as a big money maker on the consumer desktop/laptop. And once it starts to falter in that market then the enterprise will start to follow.

  • "get professional help"; the help be like:

    Jump

  • The suffering is the point. I don't think they actually want it to stop.

  • Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing

    Jump

  • Don't worry once this bites them in the ass by exposing something they have said is bad they will get themselves an exception.

  • An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

    Jump

  • Meat ram making a comeback.

  • Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?

    Jump

  • Anecdotally at average viewing distances on my 55" TV I can't really tell a difference. If I had an enormous TV maybe I would be able to tell. 1080 > 2160 is for sure not the leap 720 > 1080, or 480 > 720 was in the average environment that's for sure.

  • Bernie Sanders floats AOC as potential 2028 presidential contender: ‘Very good politician’

    Jump

  • I like AOC and agree with her on a lot. And I really would like to see how she would handle it. But as a straight white guy in his 40's that honestly wants to see things get better for everyone I also dread the tidal wave of dog whistle reasons the GOP will bring out for why she is unfit.

    I know that is the point, but the constant avalanche of ignorant talking points that hearken back to "the good ole days" when men were men, women were arm candy, and brown people shared a corner on the floor with the family dog in these peoples minds that they disguise as honest engagement with a legitimate issue in the country is starting to burn me out.

  • ICE agents can be arrested over unlawful actions, Chicago federal judge rules

    Jump

  • Could, but very unlikely they actually will.

    Not many cops are going to go around arresting ICE agents for such things I don't imagine.

  • Social Security, Medicare are "going to be gone," Donald Trump warns

    Jump

  • The only reason Trump cares about the shutdown is because his people are telling him he will be blamed the worse it gets.

  • Snoop Dogg is no longer scared of queer people in children's media

    Jump

  • A lot of of "old media" celebrities are big into Trump and the right wing these days. I guess it is new things being pushed for by progressives like trans rights and acceptance, even more equality for women, etc make them uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. So they retreat to something that feels safe by comparison.

  • Do protests like No Kings still matter? Here’s what experts say

    Jump

  • Yep, for these things to matter there has to be no end in sight until those that want the change get heard and taken seriously.

    Bonus points if they are headed up by sympathetic and visible politicians and/or other public figures. A well spoken orator in the vein of MLK at a podium giving a loud united voice to these sorts of movements are what creates something non-violent that is really hard for those in power or those on the side lines that would otherwise support the movement to sweep it under the rug as a one off.
