“Gulf of America” was a sign of things to come. I truly hope nobody over there is surprised now.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 4 days ago:
Another country went fully, truly, 100% mask off. The USA as global trendsetter once again.
- Comment on Iran, not the US, currently has the strategic upper hand 4 days ago:
Re “single perspective": make that at least two.
According to a big German news podcast on Friday:
- the USA have neither a plan nor the upper hand
- Israel are scared shitless the USA could pull out - or even lose - before Iran is properly fucked
The Don definitely has no clue, but he’s gloating about killing mullahs etc. Btw, it costs the USA about $1billion per day. LOL

What about peat though?
- Comment on HP's ink-blocking firmware may violate new global sustainability rules 4 days ago:
They probably have a team of idea finders scouring the fediverse as we speak! Am I joking? Who knows.
- Comment on HP's ink-blocking firmware may violate new global sustainability rules 4 days ago:
From the article:
According to the GEC’s published criteria, printer vendors have three compliance paths. They can avoid firmware changes that disable remanufactured cartridges, offer approved cartridge solutions that maintain device functionality, or make remanufactured options available for purchase through their own channels. Each route is meant to encourage a model in which printing components are reused rather than discarded.
So far, more than 38,000 products remain listed under the older EPEAT 1.0 registry, while only 163 have transitioned to the new 2.0 standard – none of them printers.
It’s not binding. Maybe articles like this one will shame hp into stopping that bs one day ☀️ (only joking)

- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 1 week ago:
A DMCA takedown, huh? Sounds a lot like what they did with Youtube-dl a few years ago. And ultimately lost. Both youtube-dl and yt-dlp are still (again) on github.
Lesson learned: don’t use github.
- Comment on TriZetto confirms 3.4M people's health and personal data was stolen during breach | TechCrunch. ( the company failed to detect for almost a year.) 1 week ago:
Let me guess: they’re really sorry.
I cannot fathom why such data breaches aren’t prosecuted as crimes of the company as well as the thieves.
This doesn’t happen because the hackers struck like a force of nature, but because the servers aren’t kept secure constantly. Because that would be more expensive.
It’s like a car company getting sued for making insecure cars. It’s not hard to wrap your head around.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 2 weeks ago:
Nearly half? Sheesh.
Maybe it’s because most Europeans don’t have a strong opinion about X. I really don’t think it’s quite as popular here as in the USA. Which is also the reason many don’t know how unhinged the current admin is.

🤯 That gave me pause. Would non-FOSS even be an option for anything ActivityPub?
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 3 weeks ago:
I, too, am often pissed at clickbaity, exaggerated, deliberately ambiguous headlines.
The subtitle makes it clear though: this is about ActivityPub, which has grown into the #1 federation protocol I guess.

- Comment on Ad companies are the ones destroying civilization 3 weeks ago:
Yeah a lot of what many think of typical internet stuff is just a new turbocharged edition of what has existed for much longer IRL.
- Comment on Ad companies are the ones destroying civilization 3 weeks ago:
I’m not generally disagreeing with your assessment of the current situation, just a little historical BTW.
in the Internet age, we have other, non-advertising ways to spread information (i.e. specs and reviews),
Interesting, I never thought of it that way.
However, most of that is still part of advertising; producers proactively strive to get reviewed.

- Comment on Suspension Of Disbelief should be studied more 3 weeks ago:
But I’ve long wondered how the at least somewhat more sane people following him manage it. Something like confirmation bias would only work up to a point that Trump has long since gone beyond.
Yeah this exactly.
Something else that might play into it: so many conspiracy nuts refer to movies as if they were history, or prophecy, or scientific research. As if they were valid in a way they clearly aren’t, because they’re fiction. Maybe they really do live in a world where these things are interchangeable.
- Comment on Suspension Of Disbelief should be studied more 3 weeks ago:
I just replied to the other guy, it’s not confirmation bias I’m talking about although that certainly plays into it.
Have you ever wondered how (not why) MAGAts believe ever more obvious and blatant lies, and why the admin doesn’t even bother to make better lies? MAGAts are pushing aside what a child can perceive because they’re so hungry to see that narrative continue and stay in it.
- Comment on Suspension Of Disbelief should be studied more 3 weeks ago:
Confirmation bias is about people choosing information that suits their world view. That’s not what I mean. I expanded my OP to hopefully make it clearer.
I mean, the Trump admin lying to us is one thing, but they’re doing it so, so badly and yet people can’t let go of it.
I guess confirmation bias could be a reason why they are driven to such extreme suspension of disbelief.
