Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Bernie Sanders Lets Loose on the Democratic Party, the Midterms and 2028English
113·5 天前Once the republicans are out of the game, you can start voting for the progressives.
Please note that I am aware that the candidates that claim to be centrist are still actually quite fascist, but because your electoral system is so flawed, this is the only option you have.
you’re doing a bit here, right?
you’re satirizing the “blue no matter who” people by saying explicitly what they’re saying implicitly (“vote for fascists, only they can save us from the other fascists”), right?

the gradually changing typeface is a very nice touch

Linux@lemmy.ml•PSA: Debian 11 ("bullseye", currently "oldoldstable") Long Term Support reaches end-of-life todayEnglish
3·12 天前iirc the Linux kernel dropped support for pre-Pentium x86 in the last few years, so any distro with 486 support now would be using an unmaintained kernel.
I think if you want a maintained operating system for your 486 today, NetBSD is probably the thing to run.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Ladies and Gents: The Pedophile Trump Nazi RegimeEnglish
43·13 天前some number of the dozens of people who upvoted this now incorrectly believe that hegseth has a tattoo with a funny misspelling. how does it being a meme make promulgating misinformation about about consequential people a good idea? 🤔

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Ladies and Gents: The Pedophile Trump Nazi RegimeEnglish
36·13 天前Not everything is AI buddy. Plus it’s funny no?
i meant “AI” in this sense. and sure, it is sort of funny, but it’s also, imo… shitty, actually, to cause people to believe ridiculous-and-untrue things (especially about someone like hegseth) because if/when they find out that they were misled it tends to sow doubt about the many ridiculous-but-true things they’ve also learned about him.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Food served to US service men & women.English
11·13 天前Probably fake or misleading
fwiw the first and last images in this post both were first published in this USA today article back in April, attributed to anonymous crew members of the USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln.
There aren’t enough calories pictured in these images

It looks like for most IP addresses in the world it says “no products available for this region”.
For IPs that geolocate to the USA, it’s currently offering four different varieties of $65/kilo ($30/lb) coffee with low-effort nerdy names (eg “404” and “dark mode”).
The TUI-based shop is a cute gimmick but they are insufficiently committed to the bit: when i went to checkout it told me that i need an ssh key and directed me to the FAQ… on their website 😢
i guess this isn’t a problem for ssh users who (a) have at least one ssh key in their environment and (b) don’t set
IdentitiesOnly yes(and thus send a list of all of their ssh keys to every host they connect to) but it’s weird that they didn’t bother to include their FAQ in their ssh TUI.

Not the Onion@lemmy.ml•Iran labels California its ‘new territory’ after Trump’s Hormuz claimEnglish
3·24 天前i still don’t understand why it is so common for journalists to write a whole article about a single tweet and not link to it.
it’s here btw: https://xcancel.com/IraninHyderabad/status/2089703793915199991
