Am I allowed to draw a parallelism with last year’s elections in Italy? More than 50% of Argentinians have Italian ancestry, no wonder they naturally lean towards fascism.

I wondered priest of which denomination, opened the article, “catholic”. shit.

🤌🤌🤌

DieguiTux8623 ,

Had the same thought!

Europe is treated as a colony of the US or, better said, the colonizer has become the colonized. And there’s some sort of justice to it.

Full text: bin Laden's 'letter to America' (deleted in The Guardian because of TikTok) (web.archive.org)

I just found out that Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” has been doing its rounds on TikTok but I haven’t seen anything about it been posted here on Lemmy about it. Perhaps people already know about it, I’m not sure. This is a link to the wayback machine. The original in the guardian has just been deleted after...

But in the West we have freedom of speech and no censorship, haven’t we?

The worst case is when someone requires changes, you address them, but then they disappear/go on a leave.

If the repository rules require all conversations to be resolved before merging and only the original reviewer can mark them as solved, the PR is stuck forever even if the rest of the team approves it.

When the person came back from the leave I made some passive aggressive remark, hope this is enough 🤣

Some of them would be recommend even for non-Linux users, apart from being entertaining, they are extremely informative about open source/tech topics in general.

That’s for a reason they say “even a stopped clock is right twice a day”. The fact that it was that broken clock and that his words can be perceived as still relevant after more than 20 years hints that the world has not progressed. Despite technology we’re still facing the same problems, plus some more (eg. climate).

Heat Index in Brazil Hits 137F (58.5C) (www.okdoomer.io)

It's official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There's already reports of power outages. People can't work. They can't run errands. They can barely sleep....

Human blood should start cooking at 60°C if I remember well.

I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for showing me I’m not the only one with this kind of feeling.

    The only positive side of an otherwise sensationalistic and loosely based on facts article (most focused on fears about supposed threats to democracy a Republican president would imply) - and I repeat the only one - is that it admits bad journalism and disinformation are a part of the problem. I’m witnessing this from Europe, we have bad press, biased press, simplistic and superficial press which values what “sells” better than what rises the critical sense of their audience. This is the result. We’d better prepare ourselves because totalitarianisms are really around the corner if we continue down this path.

    I don’t know whether it’s a urban legend, but apparently Icelandic has a hundred or so names for snow. We have many specific words for what is important for our survival. 🍝🍕🤌

    TIL something, thanks! 🙏

    Who’s going to pay higher prices for already overpriced tech appliances? Yes, users!

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Yet we’re too busy fighting with each other to care.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Unfortunately there is no “safe place” in the world. The US and EU used to be the most tolerant regions but now the tide has changed. Since nobody is protesting and people are already busy enough trying to make ends meet, it’s better to just wait. Either bad times will pass or society will collapse entirely and bigots will realize it was not minorities’ fault for the decay.

    In a rare move, Pope Francis forcibly removed a Texas bishop who had called him too progressive (apnews.com)

    Pope Francis on Saturday forcibly removed the bishop of Tyler, Texas, a firebrand conservative prelate active on social media who has been a fierce critic of the pontiff and has come to symbolize the polarization within the U.S. Catholic hierarchy....

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    In Italian we say “more royalist than the king”. Btw, the Pope was criticized even by Italian politicians because “they know better” what the Catholic faith should be like. And I’m not referring to some minor party, but to the very backbone of the current government. It seems like the Pope is intentionally trying to mess up their whole electoral campaign based on tradicional family and morality.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Right… but there’s a capital sin for this called “pride”, being religious they should realize their wrongdoing.

    So in the future several enterprises will move to neighbouring countries like Poland or Czech Republic with less strict regulations?

    I hope there are measures to prevent exploitative delocalization. Did they think about it?

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Yes… especially for newborn project it’s quite difficult to find volunteers or people just wanting to help out, test, triage reports, etc.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    In a post on X, Jaki accused the European Parliament of trying to create a “communist European state” in which someone can be “jailed for clicking [something] on the internet”.

    It’s the same thing some politicians have been suggesting in other countries too, only they were not so stupid as to post them on a social platform where they are recorded permanently.

    In any case… well… since they are being prosecuted exactly for having posted/liked a content on social media, ironically, they were not entirely wrong.

    Send them to Italy, they’ll have a brilliant political career here. We are a little picky about strangers lately but that’s not the case if they are white and Catholic.

    Glad to hear that we’re not alone in this…

    EU Article 45 requires that browsers trust certificate authorities appointed by governments::The EU is poised to pass a sweeping new regulation, eIDAS 2.0.

    You know, they are not being autocratic, it’s for people’s own good, to protect children and other “random bullshit go!” things.

    Unless we act, we’re doomed. This is the new “nobles and clergymen”, only it’s “riches and beurocrats”.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    We’re going to refuse every attempt at compromise, and force you to choose between abandoning your principles or your career.

    Remembers me of something we’ve already heard, at least in EU, a couple of years ago.

    Two-states solution for Belgium! 🇧🇪

    DieguiTux8623 , (edited )

    Wasn’t it a desired outcome, for the environment, for sustainability, for spiritual wellbeing (to reduce consumerism)? This is only partly sarcastic, since the endless growth spiral we were in was not healthy…

    Love the Italian “contamination” in Corsica (in inverted commas because I don’t know which influenced which).

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Because it’s still under development, but we’re “almost” there so expect it to pop on the Play Store, for closed tests only at the beginning…

    A pure and true example of Democracy™ which all European countries should imitate. Elections are a waste of money, and if there is more than one party are a threat to political stability. Let’s abolish all elections altogether./s

    Guess who is going to charge higher prices for rentals soon?

    In Italian that instrument is called “trombone a tiro” and, well, it has a resemblance with the slang verb “tr*mbare” for some reason that only today I have figured out.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Before sending weapons, money or unconditional support (as other political leaders said) one should be sure conventions about human rights and international law in general is going to be respected. Or do they trust each other taking only the word like friends in a pub? We, westerners, are responsible for those deaths and should carry them on our conscience.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    The Old Testament is full of rules and commandments that, taken completely out of context and applied literally, would lead any modern society to collapse. In the west we thought we knew better than bronze age nomadic tribes of the Middle East, after the scientific and industrial revolutions, but in the end we keep going back to the Bible for directions. Fundamentalist christians are no exception. We should review the way we think about ourselves as “progressed” and civilized societies.

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    The underlying message seems to be “the UN and the West condemn Xinjiang as a criminal genocide (no killing and no weapons used) while enthusiastically praise Israel for defending their (made up) God granted promised land”.

    And the fact that the west is using double standards is, unfortunately, quite true even if this is a horrible piece of propaganda and both actions are equally despicable and deserve condemnation.

    That’s what a Marinara looks like, even without olives sometimes.

    Disclaimer: my judgement is only based on a comparison with the Marinara pizzas you get in most restaurants in Italy as of 2023. I don’t have any pretentions to look authoritative just because of my nationality or personal experience.

    Ex-North Dakota lawmaker charged with traveling for sex with minor, receiving child sex abuse images (apnews.com)

    BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A retired Republican state senator from North Dakota has been charged with traveling to Europe with the intent of paying for sex with a minor and with receiving images depicting child sexual abuse, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday....

    Glad to see that the old cliché “communists eat children” is international and still well settled in the collective memory of western people.

    Just curious: how do they manage with their spelling and their phonetics to achieve gender neutrality?

    In the article they refer to just

    a popular trend for using both masculine and feminine versions of words when writing

    which would be as common sense as every speach beginning with the “ladies and gentlemen” clause. Are they going to remove the “ladies” part because it’s redundant?

    DieguiTux8623 ,

    Needless to say that we elect them and praise them for using those symbols/s

    I tried a combination of google translator and deepl, which worked more or less but wasn’t pleasant (…) And then I had to learn foreign grammar to fix.

    I feel you, my friend. Happened to me too recently and I only support a bunch of European languages. It’s a ~150 message application and I think I’ll add very few languages and at a very slow pace since, being the dev, I’ve other things to do (less frustrating) for that project.

    Btw: do you need proof read for your already existing translations? I know Italian, Spanish and a little Romanian.

    At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

    I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

    You stole the word right out of my mouth. Thanks for saving me the time to type that comment.

    Not a specific place but the small villages encrusted in the remote valleys of the Alps in Northern Italy are quite full of stories that quite match the description. There is even a small borough I can think of which is nicknamed “the village of the assassins” due to its inhabitants having mental disorders due to genetic detects.

    The woman was 75 yo and will be probably needing assistance soon, she’ll regret that decision bitterly.
