justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Republican space officials criticize “mindless” NASA science cutsEnglish2·2 months agoDifferent country, similar politics: we got refugee kids rooting for the far right (full on Nazi) party thinking they’re hating with them.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is polygamy so frowned upon in the West?264·2 months agoWould you want to share a wife with other men?
Most instances of middle eastern polygamy have a heavy element of materialism to them. The women mostly agree because it gives them a higher standard of living, not because they like the concept.
People of Sweden have a relatively high living standard as a baseline so when your father’s second wife decided to do this it was like giving up ‘real’ partnership for some fancy hand bags.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Boeing begins flying back planes refused by Chinese airlinesEnglish88·2 months agoDamn, that’s not fair. Boeing were doing their best to make their planes unbuyable with their absolute trash company culture resulting in tons of safety issues. They almost had it on their own and now the trade war madness is stealing their thunder.
It’s like shooting a man that is about to jump off a cliff. Just let them cook. They got this.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devicesEnglish14·2 months agoIf I had known how bad it’d get I would’ve chosen a different field to work in. Sure, I can avoid it in my private life but on the job it’s like I’m in some kind of hostage situation.
“Oh hi there customer! You know our product your users are accustomed to will only come as a subscription from now on and it’ll also be really bad and force full screen ads. We’ll push two updates per day because our unpaid interns are so agile. Bugs? Oh, no, we call those ‘micro disruptions’. They’re a feature but don’t cost extra! How much the license costs? Well, how much do you have? Yes, it’ll be that much.”
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•WA lawmakers propose closing schools for people with disabilities5·2 months agoIt seems like their maths won’t check out. They already estimate 66% of current residents to move on to other facilities (guess they don’t have licensed care takers as relatives to take them all in), yet seem to calculate with saving all the costs. Ultimately they’ll push more work towards the other facilities without any intention of financing additional staff which will not work in the long run.

justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS OfficeEnglish61·2 months agoAt this point I think there’s some kind of code hidden here. Maybe the localization AI is trying to tell us something.

justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS OfficeEnglish24·2 months agoWe should explain the issue in all detail to the Microsoft support so they can guide us to the windows update documentation.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere?16·2 months agoIt do be like that. Many of them get repeated till they reach a critical point and everyone is sick of them. Some of them are harder to tolerate than others though. I can deal with people ‘checking notes’ here and there but those who use “literally” as every second word in their sentences awaken a primal rage inside of me that is yearning for rock to split skull. Luckily that trend isn’t as prevalent as it used to be back in the day.

justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defenseEnglish8·2 months agoWhen the end times are here and you find yourself bored you can come by my cave and check my collection of cool rocks and sticks.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defenseEnglish56·2 months agoI’m just glad that as I get older I’m more content with simple things. I’d be ok giving up most tech things and I say that while working in IT myself.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•The Call to Execute Luigi Mangione Is Indefensible283·2 months agoI remember back in the day in history class we’d discuss if murdering a tyrant is morally wrong and how it should be treated by the law. The class pretty much agreed if you 360 quick tomahawk someone who causes millions of deaths it’s fair game.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves rejects calls for ‘buy British’ campaign in response to US tariffsEnglish21·2 months agoI always found it interesting how Scandinavians celebrate their viking past. Viking culture in general is rather popular even though the core of their identity was pillaging and raping people. My best guess is that it’s a mixture of distance (time) and vibes. Dropped some bombs and killed 3000 people? On to the next news. Flew some planes into a few buildings and cause the same amount of deaths? Never forgetti.
justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Trump tells El Salvador to build more jails for US-citizensEnglish191·2 months agoFrom my understanding it’s a very poor nation with a deeply corrupt leadership. Said leaders are taking the opportunity to make money from industrialized incarceration without any oversight. The US president is openly breaking the law by deporting people there but has nothing to worry about anyway because the harshest form of protest the american people can think of is a passive aggressive tweet (that will generate ad revenue for the biggest monetary Trump supporter). The best part of this is that once people are there he can just raise his hands and say “well I can’t get them back, they’re outside the US!”

justsomeguy@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•How's them tariffs goingEnglish22·3 months agoThese Cambodians were ripping us off but not on my watch. I’ll make some great deals and soon we’ll be living just like them. The finest corrugated iron shacks you’ve ever seen.
Move fast and break things is a motto that works fine when you’re a silicon valley fuckboi talking about shitty apps. Less so when it’s kids that are being broken. Then again it’ll work well for an angry mob going from billionaire door to billionaire door.
