    Danish Foreign Affairs minister and Danish ambassador fist bump after meeting with Vance and Rubio

  • Compliance in the form of endless entertainment and distraction. Same shit happened in Rome with circuses, and fascist takeovers have happened many a time many a place. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and people got complacent, lazy and stupid. Of course, the corporate enshittification of media and labor basically ensured it.

  • Wikipedia owner signs on Microsoft, Meta in AI content training deals

    Jump

  • Argh. As a Wikipedia supporter this grinds my goat, if I can maul two expressions at once. On the other hand, reading the article I see that AI is scrubbing Wikipedia already and it's driving up costs. What wiki is doing is creating a model where AI companies will pay them for what they're currently doing anyway.

    I don't like it, but until they can be blocked or otherwise prevented from access, at least wikimedia should get something out of it. However I fear that this will lead to dependency on AI money, and that, that's not good.

  • What does it take for people to realize that the pooch is screwed, the frog is cooked, the tomato squashed, the cat's out of the bag and dead in the box? The emperor is naked, and doing a nazi salute, the evidence has been lost in the noise, the law broken, the perpetrators have gotten away with it, the grand wizard revealed behind the curtain, the good guys lose, it's really dark outside, the dragon ate the fucking hobbit AND STILL people are saying "You know this could be not cool" instead of "It's general fucking strike time".

  • Soon.

  • Have you ever held public office? Do you understand the limitations and possibilities of such a position? Do you know that you could have done more in the same situation?

    If you're angry and disaffected, join the party and work from within, decisions are made by those who show up. Angry people on the sidelines are sidelined. I get that you wish you were listened to by your representatives more, but they're listening to many and there's only so much they can do.

    Also, when being critical it sure helps knowing what you are talking about lest you reveal you know little and understand less. BTW, Ilhan Omar is a woman.

  • Other events have apparently booked them. No such thing as bad publicity.

  • What free to play games can run smoothly on my old laptop?

    Jump

  • -Free Stars on steam, used to be called Star Control 2. Old school space adventure. And it is literally free as well.

    -Imperialism 2 on GOG, 4x game set in the age of exploration and industrialization.

    -Civilization 4, the best of the series in my opinion, I've played them since the 90s.

    -Beyond Good and Evil, comes to mind, don't remember much about it, except that it's good.

    -To the Moon, indie adventure / puzzle game. Has great reviews by the developers aunt, among other things.

    -Banner Saga 1-3, holy Nordic inspired epic tactical strategy, batman.

    -Jagged Alliance 2, another tactical combat game, modern time, funny, realistic and really difficult.

    Eh, realized that only the first one is free to play. But the other ones are old (or very old), so you can snatch them on sale on steam, GOG or Epic for less than a chocolate bar and get dozens of hours of enjoyment from them.

  • Holy rule!

  • Fun fact, the Soviets were the real space pioneers. They pretty much were first at everything except the moon landing.

    I can back this up with a list from one of Carl Sagan's books if there are sceptics out there.

  • What is your favorite "epic" movie?

    Jump

  • Sword of the stranger. oldish anime of a Ronin and a young boy who hires him. But the stakes go up and the climax and soundtrack at the end is in my opinion truly magnificent.

  • What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?

    Jump

  • Occasionally I fire up Civilization. The first one. I've also enjoyed Imperialism 2. Star Wars Rebellion, X-com (the original). Jagged Alliance 2.

    All of those are from the 90s.

  • [Video] Newly released video of ex-Israeli captives celebrating Chanukah while in the tunnels and Hamas providing them with celebration materials

    Jump

  • That's nice. But I feel this is just absurd. "We killed lots of people and took these people as hostages for years, but we're really nice about it". I mean, I don't approve of mistreating prisoners, but taking them, and the way it was done in the first place kinda outweighs letting them have a holiday 🙄 And if you're about to start "but Israel..." save your time, I think they're monstrous fascists.

  • Historically occupations tend to be troublesome affairs. The west spent 20 years in Afghanistan and got nowhere. I agree that the mafia state must be dealt with, but going by the west's ability to run an occupation that doesn't turn the inhabitants against them, is practically nil.
