Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Sanders: Supreme Court Is “Out of Control” and Must Be Reformed56·1 year agoThat’s understandable since they are the most popular.
My city’s senator called it out on the news and it’s not getting any attention from mainstream media.
And remember that it’s only been about 48 hours since Biden can legally assassinate anybody so right now, the news is kinda uncertain how to play this out.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI-powered network of Russia-based websites masquerading as local American newspapers is pumping out fake stories targeting the US election, investigation findsEnglish15·1 year agoNah. Our stupid ass government only recently started hiring hackers who smoke weed. But even then, there’s too much stupid red tape.
“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”
He points to ransomware actors, mostly based in Russia, who extracted more than a billion dollars of extortion fees from victim companies in 2023 while crippling hospitals and government agencies. North Korea–affiliated hackers, meanwhile, stole another $1 billion in cryptocurrency last year, funneling profits into the coffers of the Kim regime. All of that hacking against the West, he argues, has been carried out with relative impunity. “We sit there while they hack us,” Caceres says.

And also
It also doesn’t help that the Republican Party have outright praised Russia, which means they’re already inside.

Haha I never seen that one.
Ive seen the dog one.

It’ll be like… 0.2% of their gross.
Then it’ll spend years in legal battles to become 0.05%.

What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate?101·1 year agoCan the president declare them traitors and no longer fit for duty, thus ousting them physically?
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In the US, did Amazon kill the mall, is everyone too broke, or a combination of other factors?3·1 year agoWithout outing yourself… Can you share where?
Or even a population size.
In the big cities I’m in, they’ve become deserts.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In the US, did Amazon kill the mall, is everyone too broke, or a combination of other factors?13·1 year agoPeople use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.
I mean a few reasons.
- Pricing is better on Amazon vs mall. I can get a Gangsta Luffy T-shirt at $12 vs $20 at hot topic
- Inventory is significantly bigger. Outside of clothes, I can’t imagine not finding the exact online version and compare
- Malls are kinda ugly now. Many are indoor and just wall to wall commercialism.
- People suck. Naked dude stealing stop signs and angry Karen about the take a dump on the escalator.
- Driving vs ship to door.
- Both have temu-level garbage, but it’s cheaper on Amazon.
I’m laughing at this because in my state, a bunch of second generation latino construction workers are upset that Mexican construction workers are doing their jobs. And their solution was to vote for Trump, who would lock them all up in cages.

When MTV started making reality tv show and encouraged morons to be morons, where most of us laughed, all it did was empower them.

Steam did it well enough. I was buying cheap games for years. I could get a kick ass GOTY game for like $5 while GameStop was still selling it used on consoles for $20.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto Malicious Compliance@lemmy.world•Work from homeEnglish11·1 year agoI’d love to honestly believe that. But I still wouldn’t risk ever doing a BYOD with a company that forced me to install anything on my personal devices.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Summer Games Done Quick starts today | June 30 - July 6English3·1 year agoPretty much. It’s not something most of my circle of casual gamers know about. Even the hardcore gamers don’t watch live and usually catch a recording of something specific.

Here in the States, we give them government platforms and call it free speech. Some even march in the streets unafraid.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Junior dev VS FAANMG dev471·1 year agoBoth sides.
I constantly call out juniors who do things like ignore warnings, completely unaware that the warning is going to cause serious tech debt in a few months.
But Ive also unfortunately shrugged after seeing hundreds of warnings because to update this requires me to go through 3 layers of departments and we’re still waiting on these six other blockers.
Pick and choose I guess.

The whole Trump presidency was filled with Trump abusing vague powers because when it was written, they assumed that the president wasn’t a asshole.
This new law plus Trump is a cluster fuck.
