It’s just a bad fuel in every way. This administration is trying to coerce us to use it

Yes, McConnell was a big factor, but Democrats went along with him, and that was probably NIMBY-related https://www.npr.org/2009/05/20/104334339/democrats-block-funding-to-close-guantanamo

WELNA: Like Majority Leader Reid, Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh is up for reelection next year. He, too, opposes sending Guantanamo detainees to the U.S.

EVAN BAYH: We have a supermax facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. I don’t think the citizens of my state would look too kindly on having those folks housed in our state.

It would be nice if they change the Office app back to its old name, rather than M365 Copilot or whatever insane nonsense they picked. They should also review their corporate culture, and how the way they set performance rewards leads to insane unintended consequences across the company.

Radium Girls and Radium Jaw are linked in ‘See Also’, because when the first cases of radium-related necrosis were appearing in women working with radium watch dials, doctors spent years searching for a source of phosphorus at the factories. The symptoms were very similar and the mechanism of toxicity of radium was not yet understood.

I took the same thing from this article as you. This is part of why Guantanamo Bay never closed; there was no place where the detainees’ presence was tolerated. People don’t want the object of their fear in their backyard. They want it as far away as possible. This is also why the six extermination camps like Auschwitz were not on German soil. Not in Germans’ backyard.

It has had trouble with some subtitles. That’s the biggest issue I’ve had

It is a little convoluted how it’s set up, but I have a debt of gratitude to the Calibre community for their various add-ons freeing my legally purchased books of their DRM! Which is what enabled me to have centralized library in the first place, since they were all on different services. But now I’ve quit Amazon and have everything accessible from KOreader on my Kobo, via Calibre-web

It’s handy to share media with my family! The Roku app works OK

I ate a lot of good food when I visited the UK. Honestly anyone who claims <place> has only bad food has a skill issue.

I think LLMs are fine for specific uses. A useful technology for brainstorming, debugging code, generic code examples, etc. People are just weary of oligarchs mandating how we use technology. We want to be customers but they want to instead shape how we work, as if we are livestock

It’s because they have taken too much of the economy for themselves. Too much wealth in the hands of too few. The wisdom of crowds dissipates and they move as much more of a herd, and more erratically. Things begin to swing from one shiny object to another more quickly, with nothing to keep their greed in check

Servo is new web engine that Mozilla was building with Rust. Both Servo and Rust were initially developed by brilliant Mozilla engineers, cast aside by their incompetent, corrupt leadership and only thrived when they were unyoked from Mozilla, where good ideas go to die

Yes, I hope people can remember that DHS as a whole must be dismantled.

Stuff like this is why I unsubscribed. Just respectability politics.

It was fascism in 2016 when he promised to ban people from entering the US based on religion.

Sorry, it’s not going to happen. Moderation does not mean ‘happy happy joy joy, insulate you from the world around you’. I don’t think three articles about the leading topic in global news is too many. The majority of our users agree (we’ve had no complaints other than yours and those articles are also the most upvoted). I suggest that you found your own community: ‘Wikipedia_nopolitics’. We have had multiple people split off and make their own wikipedia communities when they’ve had different objections and we welcome it; another benefit of the fediverse. Best of luck to you.

I would advise if you’re feeling overwhelmed to use some of the plentiful filter tools built into Lemmy and its associated apps. This is a major benefit of the fediverse in general. But in these times we have a duty to allow folks to have a voice. -the mods
