Spotify re-invented the radio
  • Doesn’t have to he illegal at all... I refuse to give up having control because of stupid backwards laws.

    well yeah, if you pretend the laws don't exist then nothing has to be illegal.

    Israel’s history suggests the clock is ticking for Netanyahu after Hamas attack failures
  • You don’t have to be an expert in Israeli politics, the article lays it out for you

    Israeli history has taught us that each and every surprise and crisis led to the collapse of the government. That was the case in 1973 [after the Yom Kippur War] with Golda Meir, in 1982 with Menachem Begin in the first Lebanon war, and in 2006, with Ehud Olmert, in the second Lebanon War.

    Seems like 9/11 is not a good analogue because Israelis are less tolerant of government security failures than Americans are.

    Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
  • the battle between ad-blockers and ad-blocker-blockers is eternal. adblockers will adapt.

    if i block ads, it's only fair that google tries to block my blocking of their ads. calling this "enshittification" is silly, they didn't make their product worse they just are doing a better job of enforcing the rule that's always been there.

    The truth about Canada
  • I mean, if you give people a long weekend they’re gonna celebrate.

    I don’t know any white people who sat around in solemn reflection last weekend, but I know plenty who had an extra day of partying.

  • Ok, but give us some credit.

    It was only last weekend we had a national holiday to celebrate how we treated the natives.

    Remember kids: Canonical is not your friend.
  • there was a time when they were slow, but that's mostly been resolved.

    but it's really just a cult thing now. people hate snaps because they think they're supposed to hate snaps.

    Tom Hanks says AI version of him used in dental plan ad without his consent
  • i thought we were just joking around here, but if you're being serious: there's zero chance that's actually Margot Robbie.

    or maybe like a 1% chance it's actually Margot Robbie, but for the last three months she's been playing a character on lemmy that's a goofy impersonation of Margot Robbie that breaks character all the time.

  • Does it make sense for Academy Award nominated actress Margot Robbie to promote her latest movie on her first personal social media account in years?

    does it make sense for academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie to cross the picket line to promote the barbie movie on lemmy during the sag-aftra strike? yep, she's well-known for her anti-union politics and general disdain for labour. therefore, this must be a real account.

    What’s a company that objectively improved after it got “bought out?”
  • "droid" was actually a verizon brand, not motorola or google. any droid-branded phone was a verizon rebranding of a phone that was sold as something else outside the US.

    but yeah, android never existed outside of google. Google bought out android before their first public release.

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law to raise minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour
  • This is for all the farm workers, all the cotton-pickers

    But… she realizes it isn’t, right? It’s only for fast food workers. Farm workers specifically don’t get this increased minimum wage.

    After losing over 200 satellites this summer, Starlink loses another 45 just in the past week.
  • yeah absolutely. it's a problem, and spacex should be criticised for making their space garbage everybody else's problem.

    i'm just saying framing this as "elon keeps losing" because his company's system is working exactly as it was designed to is pretty dumb.

    After losing over 200 satellites this summer, Starlink loses another 45 just in the past week.
  • Obligatory “fuck Elon”, but starlink launches thousands of these things, with an expectation of losing some of them. This isn’t a problem, it’s how the system is designed.

    This is like writing an article about how 45 of a frog’s eggs failed to hatch.
