Given the current Tribunal of Six, overturning Citizens United would likely involve a ruling that only corporations can vote.

lolcatnip ,

Yeah but cops don’t care about the law.

lolcatnip ,

I want the rich to not be rich anymore, not for them to be killed. And I definitely don’t want children of rich people to be abused, because child abuse is bad.

lolcatnip ,

They weren’t elected.

lolcatnip ,

Asking “who still uses $thing”, where $thing is the most popular thing in its category, is peak Lemmy.

lolcatnip ,

Ah yes, “both sides”!

lolcatnip ,

Obviously God did it. /s

lolcatnip ,

So they can put what drugs they want in their own body?

Is that supposed to be a gotcha?

lolcatnip ,

What if they didn’t do the “summer” games in the middle of summer?

I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)

Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...

lolcatnip ,

To be fair, if a naive user is going to get a virus, there’s a very high chance a browser will be involved.

lolcatnip ,

Nearly every app should have a warning

So it would be how in the US half of all products have a warning saying they cause cancer thanks to California proposition 65? No thanks.

lolcatnip ,

Look at how art fared in Nazi Germany.

lolcatnip ,

Does a bear shit in the woods?

lolcatnip ,

Surely it should be “cleaned the bin”, right? Dialect issues complicate things but the basic problem seems to be that the joke is just ungrammatical.

lolcatnip ,

I’m really enjoying the schadenfreude.

lolcatnip ,

All right wingers support the imposition of the right’s hypocritical version of Christianity regardless of their personal beliefs.

Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp (www.reuters.com)

Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.

But the one in your pocket is fine?

Can someone explain me USA obsession with prom and similar school rituals?

I just don’t get it… Why is that important, especially for kids now, that feel like they need to do a YouTube video asking for a date or doing some meme stuff. Some teens even hire the hottest celebrity or ask them to appear in their prom? This is so bizarre for me, all that just for a frivolous night....

lolcatnip ,

I asked sometime to the prom and got turned down. All I learned was that rejection hurts a lot more than I would have thought.

lolcatnip ,

Look up a brand called Tenga.

lolcatnip ,

Same general idea, yeah.

lolcatnip ,

I think in this instance “toilet” means something like cleaning up.

lolcatnip ,

To a conservative, not being evil makes you a lib.

lolcatnip ,

Damn. I worked for Google for almost 10 years and I had no idea.

lolcatnip ,

Probably depends on the onion. Some varieties are not hot at all and kind of sweet. Still wouldn’t want to eat one like an apple, though.

Poisoned trees gave a wealthy couple in Maine a killer ocean view. Residents wonder, at what cost? (apnews.com)

Wealth and hubris fuel the tale of a politically connected Missouri couple who allegedly poisoned their neighbor’s trees to secure their million-dollar view of Camden Harbor. The incident that was unearthed by the victim herself — the philanthropic wife of L.L. Bean’s late president — has united local residents in...

lolcatnip ,

I didn’t think the kind of people who would kill their neighbors’ trees think that way.

lolcatnip ,

Imagine signing up to work on a boat and then being held hostage in a foreign country for months because the captain fucked up.

lolcatnip ,

Maybe. What matters is that most of the crew had no involvement in what happened.

lolcatnip ,

Is it just me, it does the headline suggest they’re running experiments on brains in jars, as opposed to full human beings?

lolcatnip ,

I can’t take anyone who says “commie” seriously. It’s like hearing an adult say they need to go potty.

lolcatnip ,

They’re getting away with it so far.

lolcatnip ,

Also much easier to apply.

lolcatnip ,

Excuse me, but encrabbening is supposed to have a double B.

lolcatnip ,

I bet some of the leaders of Hamas are big fans of Bibi’s reign.

lolcatnip ,

“They” asked for it but we have to live with it.

What does the world think of India?

I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the...

lolcatnip ,

Warning: sweeping generalizations ahead. These are the kinds of opinions I would normally keep to myself.

Based on what I’ve heard from my Indian coworkers, I think India has a culture of ignoring rules that leads to a lot of government corruption. They praise the ability of many people to hire domestic help, but of course they’re the kind of people who can afford it and not the ones providing it.

Based on what I’ve seen in the news, India has a huge problem with Hindu nationalism, which is basically just Indian flavored fascism from what I can tell.

Based on news about the US, I gather the caste system is so pervasive that rules against caste discrimination are being put in place in some parts of the US with large Indian populations. The caste system appears to be a sight variation of overt racism.

Culturally I view India a lot like I view Brazil, The Philippines, Hungary, and Turkey. Economically I view it as similar to China, only a decade or two behind.

I’m not surprised Indians are irrationally proud of their country; Americans are the same.

She’s 78. I think that makes her old enough by even the snarkiest standards.

“Shot dead” only sounds right in the passive voice.

Canadian warship sharing an anchorage with Russian vessels in Cuba (www.cbc.ca)

The Royal Canadian Navy now finds itself in the unusual position of both shadowing Russian warships as a threat in the Caribbean and sharing an anchorage with them as a guest in the port of Havana — because Canada accepted an invitation to send a patrol ship to Cuba while the Russian navy is in town....

lolcatnip ,

I didn’t know Cuba was actively supporting Russia. I just changed my position from “end the US embargo” to “everyone else should join the embargo”. Supporting Russia is supporting genocide.

lolcatnip ,

If we could end the embargo in exchange to them telling Putin to get fucked, I’d be all for it, but I don’t think there’s enough trust on either side for that to work right now.

Spam.

Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important (www.techdirt.com)

The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...

lolcatnip ,

If by “null and void” you mean unnecessary.

lolcatnip ,

Can I run games in HDR, though?

lolcatnip ,

Json is a garbage format for anything that’s meant to ever be touched by a human. At least use yaml or json5.

lolcatnip ,

It’s absolutely trivial to convert either format to json if necessary. The real killer for me with json is the lack of comments. Human-maintained files absolutely need comments.

lolcatnip ,

I wonder who paid them to do that.

lolcatnip ,

So you’re advocating generic testing for anyone who wants to play sports? What about people who are neither XX nor XY? Do you expect trans women to share locker rooms with men?

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

lolcatnip ,

That doesn’t describe me or any other programmer I know.
