Lol, who cares! That’s just hte poors. Anybody worth their salt will be able to afford portable ACs. So what if by 2050 we’ll have heat waves of 60C? That just means all the poors will die. It’s divine erasure through oil sales. Money is divine.

I’d like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.

Closed source that pretends to be your friend. They are just wearing a different mask than google, microsoft, facebook, bytedance, and so on. Any privacy gained is a circumstantial side-effect that will cede to any monetary interests and will be used as an excuse to lock users into their walled garden.

Just wait until it starts taking stuff from 4chan, twitch, and twitter. Things are going to be come so much more interesting.

Is it still going to be windows? Most of the battery would probably be used by the bloat present on it.

What does that matter? 2% of a billion is 20 million. Do you seriously think their wealth doesn’t grow by at least 20 million a year? Do you think their wealth doesn’t grow by more than 2% every year? It should not be growing, it should be diminishing!

I’ll repeat myself: 2-6% is a fucking joke.

To be fair though, it’s not nothing (unlike the USA). They have to start somewhere, I’ll give 'em that.

2-6% is a joke when the rest of the population is paying >25% up to 50% or more in some places.

The crew, made up of 20 Indians and a Sri Lankan national, has been unable to disembark because of visa restrictions, a lack of required shore passes and parallel ongoing investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and FBI.

On Monday, the crew remained on board even as authorities used small explosive charges to deliberately “cut” an expanse of the bridge lying on the ship’s bow.

Would they treat Europeans like this? This is only happening because they’re brown.

The West let it happen. They didn’t arm Ukraine quickly enough, nor did they do much of anything to help Ukraine in the decade before. Instead they became closer pals with Russia after the annexation and even more dependent. Had they nipped this in the bud more than a decade ago, Russia wouldn’t have had the means nor the will to invade Ukraine.

Europe and the USA need to ramp up production of military assets as if it’s wartime and help Ukraine defend itself, instead of twiddling their thumbs and asking themselves if Putin is really serious while Ukraine soldiers lose their lives.

Using the homeless to kick down on refugees is fine, but actually giving the homeless a home? Nah, fuck them.

I have no problem with this. I block the community, not the content. If there’s something political going on, the opinions of nazis don’t matter to me, but the opinions of everybody else might.

Oh, “I won’t do anything to change my behavior because I don’t care”. Got it

try your best

There are so many problems with Saudi Arabia, but because they have money and oil, nobody dares do anything. If we could decouple ourselves from their damn oil, maybe we could have more influence on them.

If you want equal rights for women in Saudi Arabia, try your best to stop depending on their major export: oil.

The value of everything changes. Time is not static. What maybe useless today may be of great value tomorrow and that value has to be tracked.

A system without money is just a system where the actual currency isn’t obvious.

No wonder the degrowth movement exists. It’s because of this bullshit that we harm everything around us.

Land of the…

Programmer clutching their keyboards screaming “Arrays start at 0!”

If lemmy’s communities were not instance bound, but cross instance, it wouldn’t be that much of a problem. People could recreate their accounts on another instance and just join the same community.

What are the ramifications? If breaching international law has no effects, what good is it? Doesn’t the US repeatedly ignore it? The Middle East is a portfolio of misdeeds by the USA…
