I’ve seen lots of them which I found very very amusing. That seems good enough for me. Think about it: there are channels on YouTube and on the telly that are there just to amuse you. So a system that creates amusing videos is a net positive for the world.

Not surprised that the Fed overspent a project by 50%.

The radicalisation of… check notes… being able of affording meat and a car.

I don’t really care too much about what happens to public transportation as long as I’m not forced to use it, which is what they want to do.

> Email Statistics: 347.3 billion emails sent daily without major issues, serving 4.37 billion email users worldwide as of 2023.

The average user receives 86 emails per day?! And I get a bit overwhelmed if I receive more than 3. Kinda puts things into perspective :-)

I have no idea if they have their own agenda, but their ends (such as supporting private transportation and meat consumption) I support. Even if I didn’t trust them, and I don’t trust them either, the ends justify the means.

That’s not “most countries”.

Interesting. Beef is overall more nutritious and tastier anyway, albeit much more expensive.

It would seem foolish to trust the temperature records from the same people who want to install draconian measures using temperatures as an excuse.

Paris has many historic buildings, but it’s not like the average Joe lives in any of those.

Is it? That doesn’t sound right.

Minimum wage in California is $16.50 per hour, so they are making that at least.

What does the (35 degree, lol) heatwave have to do with the sign collapsing to be worth mentioning? They get more transparent every day indeed.

Don't know what rich assholes have to do with it, when all things I've seen proposed hurt poor people the most. Make meat unaffordable, make private transportation unaffordable, make travelling by plane unaffordable, make new clothes unaffordable, and the list goes on forever.

I can assure you “capital” is really happy with the dirt cheap labour that immigration brings. The destruction of the lower class is not their concern.

My point is that the first post says that Crowdstrike deserved to go bankrupt, but that is up to their clients to decide. Standards for software are very low, and we all profit from that, so better not rock the boat.

So let the market sort it out. Turns out their clients don’t think the consequences were that serious.

If all software engineering businesses and engineers that do not test properly went bankrupt then this website wouldn't exist.

Apple products are expensive. Assuming most people inside an Apple store can afford them, they will be wealthier than the average, which means they will be better dressed, groomed, and will generally take better care of themselves than the average.

You were meant to replace that iphone 3GS over 10 years ago...

Do people really care about this that much? The European company that made my car probably uses its social media and ad presence to spread progressivism, which I’m completely against, but what are we supposed to do, find and buy only from companies that we identify with politically? That would be very hard and limiting. And somewhat stupid too (as stupid as a car company taking a political stance, or people that think that buying from some company means you identify with their politics, but here we are!)

Europe goes beyond central Europe.

Using a million footnotes doesn't make you cooler, it shows that you can't write well.

Zen is a Firefox fork, not a Chromium fork.

Google Photos is the gallery app that comes with Android phones. Sometimes you will get notifications asking you to buy a printed, real life photo album with the photos that you have in your phone. That album is sold through a partner, which makes this an ad. It’s not upselling you on something you already purchased. It’s telling you to buy a photo album with the photos you took using your phone.

Friendly reminder that the AARD code never shipped.

Google Photos, which comes installed by default on all Android phones, sends notifications asking you to print an album with your photos through a partner.

It also happened to Spain.

No official builds for Windows.

It’s the tremendous amount of bloat that has made me discard Brave as a possibility when switching away from Chrome. I understand that they have to make money, but… I just wanted a Chrome fork that doesn’t get in the way.
