Technology@lemmy.ml•Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability
31·10 days agoWhen buying a laptop in 2026, you really need to consider how easy it’s going to be to keep it running with parts you’ve scavenged from other road-warriors.

Technology@lemmy.world•BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep PaceEnglish
4·11 days agoYeah, honestly this is the default car shape now and I hate it. At least the BYD looks like a big estate, which id much rather have.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you still remember the layout of all the houses/apartments you've lived in? Are there any other places where you still have a "map" of in your head?
5·11 days agoI’m like this too. I can go back to a city I’ve been to once, years ago, and I know the way around. I remember the layout and location of my childhood friends houses, even when I don’t remember their names.
I’m terrible at remembering exact quotes from books, TV, etc, but I have pins in my mental map for where the scenes took place, even in fictional worlds.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Tim Hortons’ franchisor is lobbying Ontario about foreign workers
4·19 days agoYeah, if it was owned by purely Canadian private equity that would hardly be any better.
Boycott for class, not country.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Nearly 80% of Canadians oppose idea of Alberta leaving the nation: polling | CBC News
5·19 days agoI only just heard about this, but presumably she knows a sovereignty referendum will fail, so she’s going to find something nobody will be strongly motivated to vote against, but which will still cause constitutional conflict she can exploit to further the separatist cause.
Normal traitor stuff.

World News@lemmy.ml•Marco Rubio urges Europe to resuscitate Western colonialism in bizarre speech
11·26 days agoBut in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting.
So the point of this speech was: don’t make the mistake of fighting fascism again.

Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AIEnglish
3·28 days agoYeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.

Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AIEnglish
511·29 days agoMy favourite example of Spotify being shit is:
I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.
That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.
Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

4·1 month agoIs it the reactionary version of drag brunch?
He will also attend the National Prayer Breakfast in the U.S. capital on Thursday — an annual gathering of thousands of politicians and power brokers.
Why are you praying? You’re the ones with actual fucking power. It’s the rest of us that should be praying for you to do something useful.

5·2 months agoMaybe I should know who these companies are, but this just made me think of
It’s on Tubu. It’s literally on Heebee. It’s on Poodee with ads. It’s literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it’s on Gumpy. It’s a Pheebo original. It’s on Poob.

Games@lemmy.world•Congress members voice 'serious concern' over Saudi-led EA buyoutEnglish

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?
I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.
Some that come to mind:
- Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
- Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
- James Baldwin - Another Country

Canada@lemmy.ca•Doug Ford's plan to remove Crown Royal from Ontario shelves 'misinformed,' Manitoba Conservative MP says
16·2 months ago"I had to present some of those facts that Crown Royal is proudly made-in-Manitoba whisky. It’s Canada’s number 1 export spirit,
Crown Royal is distilled in Diageo’s plant in Gimli, Man., but U.K.-based Diageo — which owns the Crown Royal brand — announced last year it was closing down the factory that bottles the whisky in Amherstburg, Ont., prompting Ford’s threat to take the liquor off Ontario’s shelves.
Doug Ford is a piece of shit, but they shut a plant in Ontario to move the work to the US. It has nothing to do with where it’s distilled. He also doesn’t give a fuck about Manitoba

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?
4·2 months agoIt obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.
I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

Geoblocked for me unfortunately, but I’ll try to find it later on. New album is pretty great IMO
