WTF Joe
  • Almost everyone on the left in the US regards CNN as corporate garbage.

    I think far left, not left. But even if this were true, it is far from being called "Russian troll". What do you think in the article that makes it or him "Russian troll", or even "corporate garbage"?

  • Switched to linux before it became mainstream
  • I do not understand this joke. Is it about "time is relative"?

  • Is kbin social under maintenance?
  • It's the biggest lie that there is "server upgrade and service will be recovered in couple of days" or something like that. Unless it is constant server upgrade.

  • Moscow warns West of escalation after Ukraine told it can hit Russia
  • Don’t judge other people by yourself.

  • Switched to linux before it became mainstream
  • You misspelled Unix.

  • Israel won’t end war for deal to free all hostages, PM’s aide said to tell families
  • That was never stated as official policy. Nor the actions aligned with it. You confuse Israel with Hamas, who both stated and acted upon it.

  • Is Trump going to prison? What to know about the possible sentence after his conviction
  • Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign-finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. It were more serious allegations.

  • Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict
  • I kind of understand them, because if you listen Fox News, you will learn about Soviet style prosecution, about how judge manipulated court. “Expert” after “expert” say that it is political hunting, etc. It is easy to manipulate those with single source of news and views.

  • Colorado enacts right-to-repair law banning restrictions on parts pairing, mirroring Oregon's ban
  • That’s because the state is essentially responsible for house safety- there are many codes the buildings have to satisfy. Not everything is regulated like that. There are no many codes (if at all) associated with chargers, and charger safety is responsibility of a company making the charger. So at least I can see some logic here. But with low power devices like console the risk is very low to have someone electrocuted because incorrect low voltage (compared to what car is using to charge) card is installed. Maybe there is a risk of fire?

  • Donald Trump found guilty on all counts in hush-money trial | CBC News
  • There is no chance for him to go to jail. Such sentencing will be appealed to Supreme Court and you know what will happen next.

  • Colorado enacts right-to-repair law banning restrictions on parts pairing, mirroring Oregon's ban
  • No, it has to be certified (by state?) electrician.

  • me_irl
  • Which one? With the tail?

  • Colorado enacts right-to-repair law banning restrictions on parts pairing, mirroring Oregon's ban
  • I don’t know. Could still be safety concerns? In many districts/counties you can’t even change a light-switch yourself.

  • I understand exception of medical devices where manufacturers carry huge responsibility if something goes wrong. But consoles???

  • The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates
  • They are really left leaning, not balanced, and it shows in their opinions, but also in news selection. Since fediverse is also left or even significantly left leaning, it gets shared a lot here.

  • The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates
  • This is horrible article. The only number given related to LLM is 700,000 liters of water used, which is honestly minuscule in impact on environment. And then there are speculations of “what if water used in aria where there is no water”. It is on the level of “if cats had wings, why don’t they fly”.

    Everything we do in modern would consumes energy. Air conditioners, public transport, watching TV, getting food, making elections… exactly the same article (without numbers and with lots of hand waving) could have written. “What if we start having elections in Sahara? Think about all the scorpions we disturb!”

  • Judge Dumbfounded When Man with Suspended License Attends Court [on zoom] While Driving
  • Yes, but this is agreed in advance, not “I am late, let me call”

  • Gamers aged 55+ account for almost a third of gamers now, and that share is on the rise.
  • The relative costs of computers, consoles and games themselves is significantly lower today than in the eighties.

  • People Don't Seem To Understand
  • Don’t worry, despite negative signs, it is all just covfefe.

    Can't block particular community

    For some reason I just can't block @196. For several month, on PC and on iPhone. I can block other communities, but not this one. It goes into page with saying that over next few days the infrastructure will be updated. I thought in a few days it would be resolved, but it is more than two month. I thought maybe this is not known bug?
