Hegseth Covered Up the Real Reason the USS Lincoln Wasn’t Resupplied

Reply in thread

People miss a lot more obvious shit these days, but it's still disappointing.

It doesn't help that there's just an onslaught of fucked up news coming out of the USA which makes it all more difficult to keep up with. "Flood the zone with shit" is working well and the US barely has any real journalism left to counter it. I actually find CBC here in Canada covers what's going on better than any news corp in the country it reports on which is funny in a depressing way

Remote workers report the highest well-being in study of 7,700 employees: while those who worked entirely onsite reported the lowest.

Lack of commute is the only reason I took an in office job again too. I've spent like 7 out of 8 years of my career working from home and I really didn't think I'd ever be convinced to go back but my new job's office is under 10 minutes away by bike and I get at least one day a week to work from home. It's officially 4 days a week in office but my manager is really relaxed about that requirement if my work is getting done

Dumb bitch

Generational infighting among the working class only serves the wealthy and corporations who are who we should actually be angry at.

In a decade you'll see memes blaming your generation for not doing anything and can you actually point to anything you've done besides creating a meme blaming boomers?

PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"

I get the sentiment but the article is more targeted at the PC gaming crowd that isn't exactly tech-illiterate but probably only knows Linux from memes about it requiring you to recompile a kernel to install Chrome or some other BS like that

I think a good portion of Lemmy and the fediverse already know it's been at this level for a long while now but I'm excited to see articles like this since it means the tide is turning against Windows for the average user

Trump Trolls European Leaders With AI Map Showing Greenland, Canada, and Venezuela as US Territories

"Trolls"? Fuck off, seriously. He's going to invade and bomb Greenland and what, are the headlines just going to read "Trump trolls Nuuk citizens"?

Is Trump going to invade and bomb Canada and we'll get to see headlines the next day saying "Epic troll, Trump just flattened Ottawa"? Sorry, I guess "we" as in the rest of the world will see those headlines because I'd be dead

Fuck

Trump weighed pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell for fear that she would spill secrets about his decade-long friendship with Epstein, according to Michael Wolff

Reached for comment, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, said, “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of shit and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Very cordial and presidential

Prove you're a real penguin

It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-( - Linux Torvalds (1991)

I've never heard of this "Linux" thing but it sounds like it doesn't support any of them 😤

systemd moment 😮‍💨

Reviews (as an addition to human reviews) is actually one thing that AI does pretty well. It's not good for large architectural issues but it can point out nuanced issues in single files that often wouldn't be caught otherwise

I keep saying this but painting any use of AI at all as the same as vibe coding just harms the real complaints against it, ESPECIALLY in this case where it's subtracting from another real issue (the age gating)
