Oh no, someone died… I guess the only solution is to provide free housing and food to the criminal, while not providing anything else he needs ensuring he’ll stay a piece of shit that does nothing but steal from society and will likely end up killing more. /s

Even a death sentence would be better at this point! Playing the emotion card falls flat if your solution is even worse.

Functionally useless just like the average Russian soldier, lacking equipment, food, training and likely suffering of medical complications. The thing is, in meat wave assaults it doesn’t matter. In fact their cheapness is a quality of its own.

Lol, any orbital war would be extremely short lived due to the Kessler Syndrome. Tho the world’s leadership is definitely stubborn and dumb enough to not let such a silly thing like facts stop em.

Thanks for not providing even a single example… I tried looking around and only found relatively niche use cases, like them being more reliable and resistant (while also being lighter) for extreme environments or infrequent use, for example emergency equipment. And then some people choosing em because they don’t feel like investing more into it, when they have only a couple devices that drain the batteries slowly, let’s say a clock that lasts a year. That could be easily fixed if you could exchange empty batteries for full ones like with gass tanks and similar, and the prior examples aren’t a good enough reason to have such batteries in the convenience store.

Very insightful comment Mr. IT of lemmy.

Lol, such weak minded pussies, let me explain. For reference, that number is very roughly half of all atoms on earth. If you had that kind of money in cash, it would be larger than earth, it would be heavier than the sun and fucking obliterate our solar system. It’s absolute lunacy, so they could have gone further and got more out of it. Like asking for a googol dollars (a 1 with a hundred zeros), not only is it actually funny (a play on Google’s name), but that would finally be enough to nuke the entire observable universe. But no, turns out fascists aren’t creative and their statements are just the result of rabies.

Omfg I get it now… “All life is sacred” as in all life must feel the fearful embrace of God.

I was gonna put a “/s” at the end, but I’m honestly not too sure anymore… Seems like that’s exactly what they want. Like what’s the point if not the cruelty?

Honestly don’t feel like a slight reduction on a month long battery life is of much concern. As for waste, I’d say being able to replace a dead battery should reduce waste if anything, also nobody said it must be a AA (on a side note, you seem to imply the use of non-rechargeable AA, which holy shit, if they’re still a thing, must be purged, sweet jesus…who’s dumb enough to waste money on em???). Personally, I’d much prefer having a second battery charging separately somewhere, ready to swap, as opposed to being forced to stop using my computer. Or like the Nintendo Switch I mentioned before, have some spot I can put it away for charing, that way the mouse is also cleaned up and not fucking dangling and wobbling around freely on the table.

I don’t understand what was wrong with the original version that just took 2 AA batteries. Reaching for the AA charger and swapping cells not awkward enough or something?

Smart and elegant design would be hiding a battery charger in the iMac it self (maybe even use something smaller than AA), not expect you to flip and plug in your mouse every time ya leave it. The Nintendo Switch, while a completely different form factor, is a great example of an elegant (you could even say “wireless”) charging solution.

I’m getting really sick of the Apple esthetic of sticking out wires, be it the mouse or the dozen dongles for every portable device they now make. Uh! Can’t forget the world’s only pen that needs charging, for seemingly no reason.

“Debatable” is a heavy stretch for someone with a 0% track record when it comes to promised tech while repeating “we can do it NOW and it will be available NEXT YEAR!” for a literal decade. Robo taxies were supposed to be EVERYWHERE 4 years ago. Same with SpaceX, we were supposed to be sending the first people to mars this year, yet all Elon has managed was burn 3 bilion tax payer dollars for literal fireworks, as not a single “starship” managed to reach high orbit. Even the cybertruck is a cheap knockoff of what was promised. Not to mention the countless people that have died because he’s allowed to beta test his death machines in public. Can’t forget his starlink shenanigans in Ukraine, fucking warlord wannabe… Elon is the greatest scam artist in modern history, and it’s absolutely disgraceful that he isn’t behind bars, let alone valued at all.

Right, my daily reminder that the US doesn’t belive in human rights. Article 23 of the UN human rights declaration for anyone curious. This is also a fun, yet basic resource: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/countries-with-independent-national-human-rights-institution?time=latest

It’s sad that the west still glorifies this fucking homunculus that not only doesn’t try to adhere to any agreed principals and values, but actively goes against them. The republicans are against half the things written in there, while the dems “compromise” so hard that “barely making it” is the ultimate unachievable goal in the distance to aim towards. Fucking pathetic.

It’s refreshing to see a western country say no to bullshit for once. There are lines that when crossed should have consequences.

Everyone shits on Star Fox: Assault for shit controls. Which is half true at best, as in it makes you chose between 3 options (option C being the correct modern one) and the one the cursor starts on (A) is indeed shit. I mean it’s remotely annoying once, but like come on, it’s not even a hidden setting, it MAKES YOU CHOOSE!

French is even more special.

Tho like I said before, it’s not perfectly accurate. In Czech 90 + 2 is the official way, but many people around Prague and closer to Germany do in fact occasionally say 2 + 90.

I especially hate what we the Czechs do. We mostly read numbers the same (21 = twenty one), but then once every blue moon some dimwit says 21 like “one and twenty” like he’s fucking German or something. German is bad enough, but why do we have to mix it???

Jesus christ, it’s a second time in the past 5 minutes that I see another post about some “news” that’s just “remember the bad guy? Yea, he’s still at it, just did the same thing as last time again, mmhm, it’s the news where new things happen.”. Not saying it’s bad to reported this, but I’m getting really fucking sick of shit not changing. We knew that Elon loved playing war games basically since the beginning, doing shit like disabling starlink in the middle of missions. There’s no rule of law in the US, MAGA is proof of that.

Oh hey, treason man is yet again announcing publicly that he’s a treasonous piece of shit and that he plans to continue committing treason? Wow, what shocking news. /s

I don’t agree, but I feel you. Filthy hypocrites!

A yes, the classic “start a war with the people we don’t like or we will start the war for you”. Truly sympathetic shit.

Them getting called out for starters. People need to start using language like “that’s unacceptable”, “MAGA blocking funds to save our own people AGAIN” or “yet again, MAGA is letting thousands of Americans die!” as apposed to barely fucking mentioning it. MAGA’s whole thing is shitting on others, but nobody shits back at em. Why? We don’t even need to make anything up, they are literal fascists! Calling them weird worked wonders, why did we stop? Was calling those murder cult psychos weird really the most outrageous thing we’re willing to do?

If people keep treating it as if it’s normal, it will become normal. Before Trump, all this was unthinkable, but then he came and proclaimed something outrageous and nobody said SHIT! Everyone just accepted it, making it the new normal. We are allowing this senile shitface to define what America is. This is abusive relationships 101. He has zero opposition and no backlash and thus all the power.

We should also make it illegal for foreign diplomats, officials and leaders to visit private citizens and broadcast it. Trump isn’t even elected yet, and dictators have already crowned him the rightful king, and again nobody says shit!
