You laugh but India arrested a spy pigeon

Twice

There's no way an insane ethonostate doesn't have the same type of behavior if not worse.

I'm convinced Whitmer refused the first time because she didn't want to suck the DNC's requirements so that they'd choose her as the preferred candidate in their sham primary.

We have the best national anthem, because of jail.

"Yes hello I would like the sections of the Quran detailing everything the Jews and Christians did wrong to also be posted in classrooms please lol"

monotheistic shouting match ensues

omw to get all the homebrew stuff NIntendo got removed from github lol

Pakistan did this thing where they banned rifles (and basically anything not a handgun) without extensive permits for all new gun sales. Then they offered to buy all the guns, which a ton of people traded in for some cash, which greatly reduced the amount of firearms owned by the public.

It would work great here except there's a 0% chance the government would want to use money to solve a problem.

Boeing trying to speedrun Soyuz 11

I'm waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.

It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.

I'm gonna be honest I've never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.

There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.

So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.

Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.

This central idea is why I hate dune.

Having a so called prophesied savior capable of insane things coming from a distant royal family of some space empire is too stupid to believe in.

You can't be both the underdog and the king at the same time, especially when your own supporters treat themselves as expendable.

I like how all these answers involving science fail to realize that the scientific method was used exclusively by many scholars and students who had no historical evidence of giving up their religion.

Empirical evidence is as old as humans, and afaik the modern scientific method has been in use since the Islamic golden age if not older.

The key here is that many of these people did not consider religion an empirical issue but a philosophical and ethical one. Particularly with the monotheistic religions, this would make sense because you can easily argue that it would be impractical to test for the existence of God.

I think a better question would be why do people believe in their respective religion if it contains a glaring contradiction(s).

Aside from blatantly stupid claims with zero evidence, why would Hamas have any reason to waste any sort of resources and energy on their own people?

You could at least vaguely make a statement about human shields, but no let's go with "obviously it was Hamas because it's always Hamas, even when Israel itself says it wasn't Hamas"

Considering they're such a big contractor I actually wouldn't be surprised if it somehow ended back at Boeing's feet.

Nothing will out do the 300 riddler trophies in Batman Arkham lol

Startup discovers what a northbridge is

I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn't make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

Yeah but at least you dont have to beat up RNG spawned thugs to get the locations while the riddler keeps spamming all the TV screens mocking you for playing the game how Rocksteady intended lmao

Imagine trying to use Wireshark on windows to debug or look at some service.

Just an avalanche of packets going to 20 different domains on idle.

This happened so long ago that in that time Nawaz Sharif was exposed, charged, dq'd from prime minister, arrested, granted health leave, absconded for several years, waited for new PM to get toppled, got his panama charges repealed, returned to Pakistan, and helped get his brother elected in fraudulent elections.

All while probably continuing to launder his money exactly the same.

Google has been pretty crap for a decade now.

I still remember demoing how easily they can manipulate people by searching "Pakistan News" and the results being exclusively all Indian media outlet propaganda way back in 2016.

I really feel like they never got properly exposed for this just because it's a search engine and not a social media, so people didn't care enough about it. Also because Google was still top of the game in most results compared to other sites back then.

Gonna go on a slippery slope and say that if they can't be trusted to properly report on a genocide, their other reported material should also not be held to any decent standard because there is clearly a lack of guidance and internal process to prevent poor media writing.

Not to mention there are so many better sources and OSINT stuff these days. Reuters and AP by themselves already provide the sourcing for most of these media outlets, might as well bypass the paraphrasing and potential for bias.

If they hadn't locked into amazon appstore, I feel like they could have made it work.

Either cough up money for Playstore or better yet just make windows store compatible with android and easier to use.

Given lemmy.world's uptime vs how well pirates keep torrent seeds up, I'd be surprised if anyone in that community actually uses lemmy.world as a primary instance lmao

Jokes on you I'm already on the DoD blacklist because I played War Thunder and got spammed with 40 year old "classified" NATOPs by the forums.

Kinda sounds like the time when they magically got to decide the elections because they waited until there was no time left instead of actually forcing florida to properly count their votes

Pakistan coming in with 50% phone tax + 18% 25% luxury item sales tax + 50% customs duty + 7% service fee + cash money you need to bribe customs to release your package + shipping & handling

When you ask them where the red line is

I'm still mad he's basically guaranteed to lose primaries, even when the DNC was publicly exposed for doing exactly that.

Lol no. My poor linux kernel barely keeps everything stable in 8GB and even then by shoving stuff into swapon zram.

I can just barely run a game and have a ton of FF tabs open + an IDE + discord + multiple desktops

WIndows basically dies once you hit the swap, and it usually starts at like 2GB used.

I'm assuming MacOS lies between Linux and Windows in memory management and performance, so it'll definitely start lagging if you open too much.

And this is all ignoring the fact that this is a scam statement that should be struck down by the FTC. You can't call an 8 gallon gas tank equivalent to a 16 gallon gas tank even if your car has better MPG. In that case you advertise the MPG. And in Apple's case, it would be something like "X% less RAM usage per system process" which we all know doesn't actually exist because its snake ass Apple.

He's saying this like Trump being 77 is somehow young or any different than Biden being 81

Remember when Firefox started dealing damage to IE's insane monopoly, and then Chrome came along and shanked them both?

I hope Chrome finally eats dirt after basically becoming knockoff IE 2.

Literally every new HTTP standard is coming out of Google's dev team. That is not a good thing.

Welcome to Pakistan, we have:

  • smog

Not like it matters because they're a silicon valley giant so even the next zero change iphone will sell morbillion units.

I would like to take this time to thank the slow government FAA for preventing Amazon from clogging up the airspace with crappy drones and preventing a stupid system from taking off.

Aside from all the functional downsides, I'd expect these to go the way of Tesla when hitting a larger scale. Lawsuits and traffic incidents.

Ah yes the infamous and completely utterly useless 0x8 hex Microsoft errors.

If I had a nickel for every time I encountered one, I'd have paid Microsoft to properly document what they actually mean, instead of spending 2 years finding some ye olde ass archived help request where some ancient wizard sys admin gives the answer after the default and also equally useless MSFT Associate reply of "Did you try DISM or try to reinstall windows?"

Waiting for confirmation this actually happened because the article about the premature babies dying due to lack of power asked the doctors if Israel was willing to help to which they responded that "no, Israel isn't responding to our requests at all, so we don't know".

The sheer amount of engineering, FCC regulations, and wizardry that goes into making 802.11 fast is insane. It feels weird seeing so much data get shoved through radio waves which are still subject to only one transmission at a time which is why we have stuff like CSMA/CA and MIMO

Still no match for good ol ethernet though lol
