Ahh well see here, this checks out you see.

Trump said eat. We export the most bacon, but nobody talks about whether or not we eat much of the stuff.

I’m gonna need a link for this.

I’m having a shitty morning and this sounds like just the thing to cheer me up.

I definitely think that Harris has a better chance than Biden, but I agree. The current surge in optimistic articles about Harris feels like it’s riding a wave of elation following Biden’s withdrawal.

People want to be reaffirmed in their belief in Harris, these articles feed that need.

Erdogan is a whole new level of grifter.

One nitpick with this: This only applies to the US.

I get that a large percentage of Lemmy (and Reddit, earlier on) are from the US, but it bugs me that things like this default to being US-centric without mentioning it.

Awesome initiative, nonetheless!

Thanks for the reply.

Only makes it weirder really.

European here.

…Why are there Americans soldiers in the Israeli military?

You know what the real threat to human dignity is? Not respecting other peoples choices.

It is, frustratingly.

Be that as it may, not mentioning which nation the topic applies to enforces the notion that the US is the default if no other context is given.

Man, this is sad as hell.

I did not agree with his politics, but he deserved better than this.

Sure, there are politicians in this country who I wouldn’t mind seeing disappear from politics, but I sure as hell don’t want to see anyone dead

The last five years of his life sucked ass. Came out as gay in a conservative party, ran for PM and got laughed at, got divorced, and still stuck by his career dispute almost everyone suggesting he retire. In a world with more and more flaccid career politicians and trump-wannabes, I can respect a dude for a least sticking to what he believes in, conservative as they might be.

What about a technology permit, so you’re only allowed to develop technologized products if you get a permit from the Ministry of Proprietary Technology.

Eh.

Looking through Danish new sites (Dr.dk, Information, Politiken), there is not a single headline about this. I’m curious as to why, and what the angle will be, whenever we get any domestic news on it.

In principle, I think this is a good thing, and something we should have done a long time ago. However, our current PM (Mette Frederiksen) has a history of promising the moon and then never actually getting around to delivering on it, so I’m kind of half-way expecting this to mean “we’ll establish a comittee that’ll start an investigation into what we can send and when we can send it” and then it’ll take them a year or more to figure out the logistics of it, at which point it might be too late.

I should be excited about this, but I am so jaded by our politicans complete lack of interest in anything else than playing the game and staying in power that I struggle to be.

Headline English goes BRRRRRRR

If I’m not mistaken, there’s a weird trend here.

My SO worked in admin at a school for a few years, primarily young people of less fortunate backgrounds, immigrants, etc.

To her great surprise, almost everyone aged 16-22 knew how to use a phone, but an equality small percentage were comfortable with PCs, macbooks or other desktop systems.

That surprised the hell of me. Like you, I grew up using brick phones, then command line systems, then gui computers. I grew up being better at computers than my parents generation, a digital native who was expected to fix the older generations computers, fully expecting to be one day out-done by the younger generation who would grasp the newer more advanced tech faster than me simply by virtue of having been around it longer.

Somehow that seems to both not be the case and very much be the case. Mobile devices are the native device now, but it seems like being native to mobile does not translate backwards to knowing how to build a computer or what a file system is.

My best bet is that it’s a matter of UX and accessibility. You don’t learn how to troubleshoot installer errors when everything runs through an app store, the same way I didn’t learn how to fix a car like my dad did. I didn’t need to.

I might be mistaken, but I think this style was pioneered by Welcome to my Meme Page.

Wow, thanks for the reply!

That makes a lot of sense. I was trying to work out why a sink immediately next to a corner was bad, but now I know what you mean.

I guess it’s a bad solution to trying to work around the problem of kitchen real estate, the same way trying to use for cabinet in the corner unit for anything is almost always a bad time.

Ok, I’m super curious. By “In the corner” do you mean putting a sink on the actual corner unit? Or by the tablespace immediately next to it?

In the case of the first one I totally get it. The corner unit is a cursed part of the kitchen anyway. If you mean immediately next to it, why not? Not disagreeing, just curious what a professional says.

Not to be a dick, because I agree, but this doesn’t really answer the question.

Yes, but who has the most famous seafood culture? Scandinavia or japan?

We’re famous for eating a lot of fish, but not for high quality of it. Japan treats it’s tuna like texas treats it’s cattle.

We mass fish salmon, cod and plaice and sell it to the rest of Europe at dumping prices.

Japan has good fish, we have lots of fish.
