No, the CIA was selling drugs in latin america....

The tax software companies lobby the government to keep the tax system complicated so that people will pay for tax software
Imagine being so out of touch that you cant see the torrent of ewaste this is going to create for a planet that's already on fire.
Whats to stop a terrorist from just flying drones into an airplane engine and killing everyone? Seems easier than hijacking or suicide bombing
And also we just let people die instead of enforcing the rules.
Fuck drivers
If you own a 5 ton killing machine, you should be responsible to store it on your own property.
If you cant afford a garage/driveway, then you cant afford a car
Part of me says dope, but it's not like he was a mediocre rider on another team before UAE. Not like froome who suddenly became godlike after joining Sky.
So if it is/was dope, then it would have started in the lower level slovenian development programs. But does slovenia have a famous history of doping? Or money and access to the technology to evade detection?

There's a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify
Now after seeing more and more, my brain's detection algorithms are updating.
I'm quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect
I would love to see him step on the ice and get rocked by a patriotic canadian d-man
Mcsorely aint around to save him now
I thought i had a pretty good radar for AI slop these days, but this one slipped past my heuristics.
What tipped you off?
On closer inspection, the meteors are a clue. AI doesnt seem to know that the foreground characters should occlude them.
Any other obvious ones?

Amazon sells anything that makes money. This isnt new news.
Pretty sure i saw news articles years ago saying that amazon was making money off selling anti-bezos merchandise

We are Canadian!
"The Rant" guy is back. And this time, promoting Canada instead of sub-par beer.
Way better than the original rant.
Literally crying while watching this.
Fun fact: it's Jeff Douglas from CBC Radio
The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to terms with OF Anthony Santander on a five-year contract (US $92,500,000). Santander, 30, was named an All-Star and Silver Slugger for the first time in 2024 after slashing .235/.308/.506 with 25 doubles, a pair of triples, a career-high 44 home runs and 102

Kanuk, le Québec made in China (FR)
Après plus de 50 ans, les machines à coudre se sont tues au siège social de Kanuk et la production a été délocaliser en Chine pour assurer sa survie.
Another made in Canada brand goes down... Dont let them fool you with "Concu au Canada/Designed in Canada". No problem if you want to keep buying the brand, but if they dont drop the prices then dont pay "made in canada" prices for chinese made stuff.
Brands still made in canada (specifically QC): Quartz (only the winter coats) and Audvik
Anyone have stats on how the recent "voidposting" frenzy on cat communities affected lemmy?
Has there been a major spike in user registrations or any other metric? I've never seen something "go viral" like this on lemmy before.
Can someone give me a TL;DR for the 2024-2025 season, please?
I just got back from 6 weeks away from home and totally forgot hockey started while i was gone.
I also wasnt paying attention on the offseason either.
What did i miss?

Private chat app using wifi only. No SIM available
My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.
Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat
She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone
Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?
Thanks
Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels
Is having a coach right for me?
I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)
Current PR is 3:20
Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?
does anyone know what happened to cryptodon.lol
i guess i just experienced one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse that people have been talking about. instance suddenly disappeared with no warning. i guess i've lost my follow list
wanted: simple photo gallery with sharing links
i need a photo gallery with the following requirements:
nextcloud does 2/3 of these already, but the UI totally sucks when rendered on mobile among many other issues. it used to be my go to sharing solution, but the photo app has become worse and worse with every upgrade. i even tried the memories app, but it's not that different from the default photo app.
i looked through all the links here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#photo-and-video-galleries
but most of the projects are WAY too complicated and overkill for what i need. i don't need any photo management, face detection, AI etc..... i'm literally just dropping a folder of vacation pictures onto my server and generating a public sharing link. that's all.
any new ideas would be much appreciated
thanks
walking is "illegal and dangerous"
Attached: 1 image @[email protected] This blows my mind. Imagine making infrastructure so car dependent that you make walking illegal.
"Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep ..."
EDIT: if you're going to downvote the post, please comment and say why.... i'm happy to learn what kind of content is not welcome here. this is a very new community that's a bit dead and lacking content. so it's not really helpful to just downvote things without saying why at this early stage
full text from the bird site thread:
Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep, various close sources have informed RadioCycling, with the world champion unhappy about the team’s future direction and doubting if they can support his ambitions, such as winning the Tour de France in 2024.
We understand that Evenepoel’s camp have contacted a number of teams after concerns over QuickStep’s finances. Evenepoel also doesn’t believe his wage compares with that of his peers. It's thought he earns no more than €4m after bonuses, compared to Pogačar’s reported €7m.
One close source to Evenepoel said: “It will all come down to money… and his current contract underpays him. Patrick
time to rethink ban on riding positions?
We took away two important descending tools from the riders
Do you think that riders would take less risk on turns if they could still do supertuck? Or would riders supertuck AND take big risks on hairpins?
Not blaming Mader or saying he took risks. But the incident made me think about risk management
