There is this new phone called Minimal, which has a physical keyboard (but also an e-ink display).

I doubt Trump puts so much thought into his choice of words.

While on trail, Taghi ordered and succeeded in the murder of:

• the crown witness’ innocent brother,
• the crown witness’ lawyer, Derk Wiersum,
• investigative journalist, Dutch celebrity and confidant of the crown witness, Peter R. de Vries.

This level of violence aimed at innocents was unheard of in the Netherlands. It’s what drug trafficking brings.

And Obama murdered hundreds of civilians with drones, yet we’re still able to acknowledge the freedoms that American people have.

Peter Santinello is a guy on YouTube who does very genuine interviews with people from all walks of life. He has a short series in Saudi Arabia where he talks with all kinds of people, including women. They talk about how women driving became a thing and you can see how modern some cities are. Women are not even wearing a headscarf everywhere.

Definitely recommended to watch if you want to get a different view on the country than the perspective you get from most western media.

I think the basic reasoning is some form of:

“If you support Palestina, you are against Israel. And you can’t be against Israel, because then you are an anti-semite and that means you support Hitler.”

It’s mainly prevelant in western countries that historically support Israel. I do think a big part of that is some historical shame/feeling the Jewish people are owed something, given the genocide they had to endure in WW2. And of course a touch of geopolitics. And right wing politicians using Israel as a way to position themselves (I guess they hate Muslims more than Jews?).

Really amazing how all nuance is lost when you discuss Israel online.

I use copilot on a daily basis for programming. It has made me much more productive and it’s a real pleasure to use it. Nothing overhyped about it.

Curious to see what it will bring for other domains, e.g. for dealing with emails.

I do agree that there’s a lot of filtering happening. Not a huge deal for more applications. Luckily you can run your own models that are not filtered. I can definitely see a future where you run your own models locally. Afaik Apple recently did some stuff around that.

If you mean the person you’re responding to is downvoted: right now the comment has one downvote and two upvotes. Hardly any activity, let alone enough to argue for any voting conspiracies.

This is not how it will go down. PVV might briefly hurt when its government fails, but then they’ll start spewing their far right populist shit again and people will eat it up and vote. In the meantime the whole political conversation has shifted to the right and will nor recover.

Having PVV form a government is not good. Not on the short term, definitely not on the long term.

The name of the function, what goes in and what goes out in most cases should be enough to get a good idea on what the function does.

It also helps to make a diagram of how everything ties together. Just boxes and arrows is enough.

When writing your own code, it takes a bit of experience to know when to put something in its own function. It’s very obvious when you’re replicating code. It’s also very common to cut things up when a function gets too big. Look for bits of functionality that you can give a good name.

I can strongly recommend the SponsorBlock extention (also available in revanched).

I was big into downloading before streaming services were a thing. Music streaming is one of the few services that’s totally worth my money: no hassle and I rarely have to resort to other platforms to find what I want (very different from video streaming, which totally sucks when it comes to that).

Every country that joined the EU after the 1992 Maastricht treaty has to adopt the euro. Denmark signed that treaty, UK as well, but if they rejoin, they’d more than likely be treated as a new member.

Netherlands too. Amsterdam is even planning to change major inner city roads to 30km/h (minor roads already are).

Pretty standard sink in my neck of the woods. The part on the right has ridges and drains to the sink, so you can use it to put e.g. washed veggies or let dishes dry.

Lemmy devs expressed in an AMA that Liberapay is the preferred method of donation.

Illegal pushbacks are funded by the EU. EU countries look away or even condone them, as they don’t want immigrants either.

Check out the Law of One for some funky spiritual stuff. There might be something in there that makes sense of this reality for you.

Reddit used to have this functionality too (RES would expose it in the UI). Later they removed it and only showed if a comment was controversial. Very refreshing indeed to see the up and down votes again!
