I don't understand how the Democrats in USA can be considered left-wing. Sure, they are more left than the Republicans, but in my eyes they certainly not left-wing.

This video from Some More News really highlights all of Jordans bullshit. It's long as fuck but I enjoyed every minute of it

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.

Saying something about yourself as an introduction is custom. Mentioning that you are queer is not weird or political. It someone sharing a fact about themselves. Me saying that I like girls is also not a political statement. It's a fact/trivia about me.
The fact that LGBTQ+ people get shit for just existing in society is fucked up and that's the problem.

Just a tiny bit spicy
Reply in thread
Based on my experience you can ask for Thai spicy. It also works in Indian restaurants if you ask for Indian spicy. So far I have gotten what I asked for.
My latest experience in my local Indian restaurant resulted in the waiter to double check if we understood what we asked for. Once we got our food he was eyeing us the whole time to see if we would survive haha

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
Why do we even need a remake of the old movies? The movies are still holding up very well in this day and age. Why couldn't they focus on some other story? Expand the universe a little. Hogwarts is not the only magic school that exists...

This is why I refuse to buy a "smart" TV. My old flat screen TV works perfectly fine with a Chromecast with Google TV. I can even use the Chromecast in my projector or any other device with HDMI input to make it smarter than most TV interfaces I have tried.

EU finds Microsoft violated antirust laws by bundling Teams

Let me guess. You're an American?
In Europe we have rules, regulations and consumer protections because our respective countries and the collective union actually give a shit about the people that live here.

Qatar PM asks, ‘How can mediation succeed when one side assassinates negotiator?’
“Peace needs serious partners and a global stance against the disregard for human life.”
Pretty rich coming from Qatar with all their slave workers, but yes, we need a global stance against the disregard for human life in this world.

Gamescom Showed Me That Devs Really Care About Steam Deck Compatibility - Steam Deck HQ

That's why I deleted my Epic Games account when they got bought by Tencent. Though their support was not happy I was exercising my GDPR rights and it took a lot of back and forth with them before they finally deleted it.

Hillary Clinton says TikTok to blame for young Americans' pro-Palestine views. They disagree
Why would context even matter? A genocide is a genocide no matter the context. It can NEVER be justified.
I have had similar discussions with a right-wing conspiracy theorist (friend of my dad) that also used to justify genocide. I do think and hope that our conversation has led to some positive change in his views. He used to get super triggered when I called what is happening is Palestine a genocide but today I think he accepts it. Or at least he no longer denies it completely. I have stood my ground and kept challenging whatever he has said.
Don't give up on the people around you! Take the discussion, challenge their views. Call out any attempt to justify genocide. You don't need to argue with these people about facts, history or whatever. Just a call out of any attempt to justify genocide is enough. Don't let them keep spreading their hate unchallenged. Violence and hate can never win.

Why openSUSE is the perfect OS for handhelds
What's wrong with just plain Arch? It works well enough for my desktop and for Valve to build SteamOS. When gaming having the latest packages are a huge advantage.
Unfortunately I can not watch the video right now
Edit: So he just made an atomic openSUSE distro for handhelds. I like that it has BTRFS snapshots, I use it on my desktop as well. Nice for people that prefer openSUSE I guess but I will stick to Arch.

Why does it matter if it's impartial or not? Just go read the thread on Ubuntu discourse if you want to verify the information? It's all there. The mod fucked up. Simple as that. It's good that someone brought this to light.

OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free
Reply in thread
Not at all. They are using copyrighted material to make a product that they are selling and profiting from. Profiting off of someone else's work is not the same as making a copy of it for personal use.

I never heard that one! I only ever encountered "If everywhere you walk smells like shit, you better check your own shoes."
I don't know which one I like most. Both gets the point across well!
