Trump’s tariff plan will send prices ‘through the roof’, warn US firms
  • Someone needs to explain to this bloody orange monkey what tariffs are.

  • Trump promised mass deportations. Educators worry fear will keep immigrants' kids from school
  • Aligns with the belief many right wingers have that educated people are just "indoctrinated libs".

  • Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour
  • Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.

  • Ukraine is releasing thousands of prisoners so they can join the fight against Russia
  • Didn't like when Russia did it and I don't like that Ukraine is doing it. BUT, the review/per basis process does make a big difference and makes it an easier pill to swallow.

  • Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app
  • Researchers were able to clone a user’s entire Signal session by copying the local storage directory, allowing them to access the chat history on a separate device

    This has actually been useful for me in the past when reinstalling my OS lmao. In an ideal world we could reverify by entering a code from our phones to unlock the desktop local storage after moving it. My biggest wish for Signal is more seamless message history movement across devices and ecosystems. Fuck even proper back ups would be nice.

  • Maine Took the US One Giant Step Toward More Democratic Elections
  • Basically they are what the 13 colonies were. Taxed to shit without support and rep lmao

  • Truth Social hit by major outage
  • overloaded with truth

  • Meta takes down Chinese Facebook accounts posing as US military families
  • lmao chill. A broken clock is still right twice a day.

  • Looking for good USENET primer
  • I agree with almost everything you said. I'm not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can't trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It's a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol

  • Mandatory reminder that if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.

  • Nawh bro, gotta blame the guy for the actions of others for something so far back he wasn't even an itch on his father's nutsack. Like there's any shortage of bad things to say about the guy that he's completely responsible for lmao

  • US F-16 Fighter Jet Crashes into Yellow Sea Off South Korea, Yonhap Says
  • What are you on about? The Osprey is a piece of shit that should never have been flying to begin with.

  • venture capitalism goes brrr
  • I wouldn't really use that comparison. The discord update resembles the old one. But old reddit and new reddit are damn near unrecognizable to one another.

  • Best VPS for gramps
  • Oh absolutely! I wouldn't trust them with anything mission critical but for little projects here and there they're absolutely amazing.

  • Best VPS for gramps
  • I'd recommend racknerd. Their black Friday pricing is available year round and they have super good annual pricing on some of their VPS options https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/

  • Nvidia CEO: US chip independence may take 20 years to achieve
  • I think there's a little more at play than just not reading it lol
