  • Billionaires added record $2.2tn in wealth in 2025

    Jump

  • If I mathed right, that's roughly $8,800 per U.S. citizen. That is truly fucked up.

  • US set to lose measles elimination status: The ‘house is on fire’

    Jump

  • 1 person potentially dies if a vaccine with suspect evidence and we hear nonstop about how dangerous vaccines are. Children start dying of measles and it's a risk they're willing to take.

  • Trying to get back into watching hockey but the moving digital ads overwhelm me. Anyone else?

    Jump

  • Holy fuck. I loathe the digital ads. I cannot think of something more insulting to the fan base or stupid for the growth of a niche sport.

    Let's see, the game is already difficult to track? Yeah, let's add motion in the background, ads on the glass, and... banner ads across the scoreboard feed at the bottom of the screen.

    Bettman can eat shit.

    I can't imagine the NFL pissing all over their premium product like this. I don't even like football, but they do a great job making it easy to watch

  • Why isint lemmy more popular?

    Jump

  • Meh. Reddit had a very strong political bias.

    Lemmy doesn't have the same polish, it's a little more difficult to create an account, and doesn't have any marketing. Also success snowballs.

    I respect the crap out of everyone that pitches in to make Lemmy as good as it is. But if I'm being real, I'm here to spite Reddit. Few people have that moral give-a-fuck. Spite is easy, following through to do something that is more challenging and pays nothing is not.

  • Aside from the config this looks cool

    I bought a Retroid 3+ a while ago. It was an interesting experiment, but ultimately a pain in the ass to configure.

    Ideally I just want to select a rom or game and play. I really don't enjoy spending hours in settings and tweaking every detail to get a have to run decently. I don't need AAA, but GameCube and PS2 would be cool.

    Is that a thing? Or am I doomed to hangout in RetroArch settings?

  • I worked at a place that would give at most a 10% raise. That number was virtually impossible to get. We had so many developers that just wanted competitive pay or something close. So many quit, resulting in 1of 2 scenarios:

    1. We rehired the developer a few months later at 2x the salary. This cuased months of delays and expenses to their projects.

    2. We hired a replacement dev with less experience at 2x the salary. This costs months of time to ramp up.

    Both scenarios pissed off our clients and resulted in lost sales.

  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

  • Same. For whatever reason Jellyfin just does not want to work outside of my network. I have fiddled with port numbers, settings, and everything else. I have no idea why it won't work.

  • ... And I've lost all respect for her

  • Heated Gear Recommendations?

    Jump

  • Does it get noticable hot?

  • Heated Gear Recommendations?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it was an impulse buy that worked out for a few years. Now that I need to replace it, I'm sure there are better options. Carhartt makes good stuff. I'll check them out.

  • Heated Gear Recommendations?

    Jump

  • I wear under layers if I know that I'll be out for long, thermals and what not. Heated feels pretty nice though.

  • JD Vance’s Half-Brother Suffers Humiliating Loss in Mayoral Race

    Jump

  • Losing that badly when your brother is the vice president? That's embarrassing. A wet blanket child do better.

  • Judge denies Bitcoin company's request to block local election in Hood County

  • The amount of energy and pollution wasted on creating nothing is mind boggling.

    The very limited regulation makes for great pump and dump schemes, bribery, political corruption, etc.

    A wildly unstable currency not backed by any government and can easily be stolen in vast sums. What could go wrong?

  • Currently using Google Fi. What's the next best thing?

    Jump

  • I've used both. US mobile is much cheaper. It's also monthly or annual. $220 for a year of unlimited data with hotspot is the best deal I've found. If you don't need more than a couple gigs of data, you can go as cheap as $10/mo.

    I won't swear by US mobile, but so far, no regrets from me.

  • Trump, 79, Claims It’s ‘Illegal’ for Late-Night Host to Mock Him

    Jump

  • When Bush Jr was president I was absolutely confounded by how people could support him. Then I got older and could see how people don't know how to do basic research.

    With Trump, you just watch a speech or see his social media posts. It should be immediately apparent to anyone that he's a spineless, lying, idiot.

    Trying to comprehend how such a loser remains in power hurts my brain.

  • "I'm not sure I'll make it into heaven."

    Gee I wonder why.

  • Trump Announces More Surprise White House Renovations — Removing ‘Totally Inappropriate’ Tile in Lincoln Bathroom

  • Holy shit is that tacky.

    Can you imagine the president having nothing better to do than golf, take pictures of the bathroom, and fuck children?

  • De-everything enough?

  • I recently tried duo lingo. I have a pretty strong background in Spanish, but want to brush up. It became apparent very quickly that the app is not about learning so much as keeping you in it. The lessons don't make a ton of sense, and after not using app for a week, it demoted me to just 8 words that you would learn in your first class (hombre, el, agua, tu, etc.). There is no way to skip ahead.
