I don’t get what’s happening here. What’s happening? Can you explain? Who are these people?

Yeah, that sounds totally not made up by somebody trying to discredit the left ;)

Ukraine ambushes Russian convoy in Kursk as Kremlin declares emergency

China has zero interest in harming Russia at this stage. The US and its allies are investing massive resources in Ukraine, so is Russia. Russia needs chinas goodwill and tech to keep going, that’s a win. The US can’t use the money it puts into Ukraine into the pacific, that’s another win.
China is happy if everything stays as it is

New German citizens required to affirm Israel's right to exist

Nope, not true. Stop spreading misinformation just because you want to get public praise.
You will not automatically get deported, but it will be made easier to deport foreigners who are praising terrorism. There’s a big difference. You always have legal recourse against this.
That’s important because the phrase “from the river to the sea” is not illegal praise of terrorism in Germany, even if you may have heard so from your equally misinformed bubble. While its use shows that the person saying has a big problem with accepting that a complex situation will certainly not be reflected in a catchy sentence, and that it may be time for that person to just excuse them from a discussion they are very likely not a part of, it is not illegal.
Why? Because courts will have to make the decision whether its use in a specific context was illegal, and more often than not it won’t be.

Breaking up monopolies is a good thing, and Google arguably holds too much power. Chromium is being used in 70% of browsers, and the decision how to implement and develop web standards are all in the hand of one for profit company, which had little interest in keeping things open and accessible (and private).
A quote from this Register article sums it up nicely:
What we are forced to assume in turn is that Chrome is built by the professional developers working for an ad agency with the primary goal of building a web browser that serves the needs of other professional developers working for the ad agency's prospective clients.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads
Reply in thread
From the article:
These days, TV makers hardly make any money with their physical products. Roku’s FY 2023 earnings report shows that the company lost $44 million on the sale of smart TVs, streaming players and other devices in 2023. What brings in the bacon are ads and services; Roku generated a gross profit of nearly $1.6 billion with this business segment.

Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps
Reply in thread
I now see the following: „Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)“
I’m in Europe. Yes, there’s a version per country (or at least there are multiple versions), but this change is also made for places that will continue to call it Gulf of Mexico. Its annoying.

They should, but that won’t happen. If we’re lucky, there will be some sort of reconciliation process. Most likely a few people will lose their jobs, if even. I don’t have high hopes for a quick recovery of democracy the US, the dismantling has been going on for too long.

Yeah, I got that. What I wanted to express is that likely the opposite would happen. People just want cheap shit and don’t care about enshittification.

IAEA chief says German return to nuclear power is 'logical'
Reply in thread
It actually worked better than expected. It’s simply a long process.
Snd until we have a good, permanent solution where to store nuclear waste that won’t be an issue for hundreds of future generations, it’s simply irresponsible to air for nuclear instead of renewables

Hong Kong phone scams triple since real-name SIM card registration required
Reply in thread
More likely Jane registers a SIM using her ID. She then sells it to Sally, who uses it to scam people online.
That would be my reading of that sentence. I’m just not clear if they propose to criminalise both Jane‘s and Sally‘s acts.

You’re reading it right. Not sure how one could read this any other way.
However, misunderstanding content online is often framed as a boomer thing so OP’s comment still works surprisingly well.
