More commonly with Liberia.

Auf dem Handy nutze ich seit Jahren einfach Firefox mit Ublock, funktioniert im Großen und Ganzen sehr gut.

What even is Qatar’s objective with this?

Joke’s on them, haven’t bought anything from that God-forsaken corporation of evil in over a decade.

This is fucked up.

Last time they checked that shelf they found $31 billion. That should pay some workers for a while.

It’s entirely irrelevant because those who listen to them will just say “yeah ok so this photo was wrong, but it’s still like that in reality”. Their feelings don’t care about facts.

Lowkey hilarious that this government resigned so fast that when I came across this thread, I was unsure whether it was old news from yesterday or whether had already installed yet another government led by Lecornu, again.

Obviously there’s many non-profits who have a larger and more “necessary” impact on humanity, but a personal favorite of mine is lichess.org. It’s the FLOSS, non-profit alternative to freemium and ever-more-enshittified chess.com. On lichess.org, there’s zero ads or trackers (yes, not even Google analytics). And not only does it have the superior philosophy, it’s actually just much faster and better as a chess server than chess.com.

Except in MAGA world everything is made up and the rules don’t matter.

Huh?

Ein Unding, dass sowas in Deutschland erlaubt ist.

I’ve watched part of this speech, and it made me wonder if his handlers actually sometimes roleplay stuff for him. Like, some stories he tells sound like they’re based on things he experienced in real life, but they’re obviously absurd, so maybe it was just things that were played for him to make him feel good?

E. g. the part about the leaders of Azerbaijan and the other country (Trump seems to have forgotten its name, once again):

Azerbaijan was — this was going on for 36 years. They said, it’s not solvable, sir. You can’t — don’t do it. I said, I will do it. I will do it. And I got on the phone with the two countries. They were great. They were great. I knew immediately. I knew as soon as I started talking to them, we’re going to solve that war. And we did. Now they’re so happy. Now they’re friends. One said he’s been President for 32 years — 22 years. He said, you know, for 22 years, I did nothing but kill his people. They were in the room together at the Oval Office. And they started off spread like this. They have the beautiful Resolute Desk. And one was here, and one was here. You couldn’t get further away. That’s the furthest I’ve ever seen two people in front of me. And as the hour went by, they got closer, closer, closer. And at the end of the hour, we had it done. And they hugged and hugged and hugged. And I said, that’s so nice, and you’re going to remain friends. And I spoke to them — one of them — the other day. He said, no, he’s now my friend. But for 22 years, he’s been the head of Azerbaijan for 22 years. And the other guy — great guy, too — seven. And you know that war. That was a war that was not solvable. He said, for seven years. And the other one said, for 22 years, all I did was kill his people. That’s all I’ve done. I said, well, we’re going to put a stop to that. So we solved that.

Well ok, maybe he’s just completely talking out of his ass here. But look at this story about some tariff billions they found on a shelf:

But the money coming in is, we’ve never seen anything like it. The other day, they had $31 billion that they found. Thirty-one billion dollars. So we found $31 billion, and we’re not sure from where it came. A gentleman came in, a financial guy. I said, well, what does that mean? He said, we don’t know where it came. I said, check the tariff shelf. No, sir. The tariffs haven’t started in that sector yet. I said, yes, they have. They started seven weeks ago. Check it. It comes back 20 minutes later. Sir, you’re right. It came from tariffs. Thirty-one billion. That’s enough to buy a lot of battleships, Admiral, to use an old term.

When he says a “gentleman came in, a financial guy”, I really wonder if it was some staffer dressed up to tell him a feel-good story about tariffs.

Das ist doch ganz klar ein Löwenjunges.

How are fascists always so cringe

Literally the first time I hear about smart rings. What do they do?

Den Laptop, von dem ich hier poste, habe ich vor genau zwei Jahren refurbished gekauft, und bisher gab es null Probleme. Der sah eigentlich auch aus wie neu… wenn überhaupt, wurde der vielleicht ein paar Wochen in irgendeinem Büro benutzt. Es fühlt sich auf jeden Fall gut an, solch einwandfreie Elektronik “gerettet” und dabei eine Menge Geld gespart zu haben.
