Spent 40 years panicking about overpopulation and now that you’ve got the deliberately engineered population decline it’s time to panic again?

I’ll never understand this philosophy

And China’s Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube influencers

Nothing in the article actually links them to China. It appears they’re conflating ethnic Chinese people with government agents purely based on Meta AI tagging.

Under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, the European Commission can impose fines, suspend tenders or block takeovers by state-funded firms.

Always curious to see which kinds of globalism are allowed and which aren’t.

That’s not the rationale the Biden Admin made when they demanded its sale.

Didn’t TikTok get forced to sell to a Donald Trump ally by the Biden administration?

Lady Melania Trump championed the Take It Down Act

France amended its Penal Code in 2024; the UK criminalized both the sharing (2023) and the creation (2026) of sexually explicit deepfakes; South Korea criminalized even the viewing of non-consensual deepfakes. Canada and Spain are in the process of criminalizing the same conduct.

Italy criminalized harmful deepfakes after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was herself targeted

All of this looks suspiciously like legislation to protect celebrities, billionaires, and politicians while doing nothing for lay residents.

Deepfakes are but one of the many tools employed by the communist regime in Beijing

Damn. Imagine a country dangling debt relief, education benefits, and health care to lure teenagers into a brutal campaign of extermination against a geopolitical rival.

Sri Lanka is hoping to utilise ‌a ⁠temporary sanctions waiver by the U.S. available until June 17, primarily for crude oil from Russia to run its sole refinery, but it is also open to buying refined products from both countries, Karunathilake said.

Bribing Donald to Buy from Vladimir

Can Boeing still even make KC-46s anymore? A bunch of their planes are on comedic levels of backorder because they can’t deliver anything.

Booming exports have been shielding China from the fallout of the Iran war even though the adverse consequences of higher oil prices are playing out on factory floors as manufacturers cope with surging raw material costs.

Yehaw

I have a TV from 2019, it surely flies on that.

I’ve got a newer TV from 2021 and it’s great. On an older one from 2015 it surely does not.

Also curious what kind of bugs you are encountering?

Outside the latency, the biggest problem I have is matching shows to their metadata. Anything Disney related (Hocus Pocus, for instance) wants to tie itself to something totally random. Some anime (Frieren) refused to recognize the second season and keeps matching episodes to Season 01 titles/screenshots.

It’s not the end of the world, but it’s annoying and cumbersome. I’ve heard Sonarr/Radarr integration help, but then I’m down a rabbit hole of apps to support apps to support apps.

I just want something seamless and out of the box to organize my digital library, not a second job doing IT work to support a miniature Netflix.

Jellyfin just flies

Idk about “flies”, but it’s tolerable. On older TVs it remains clunky, but usable. Also, definitely has it’s share of bugs. But that’s FOSS for you. I’m not going $750 out of pocket for it.

Impossible. Markets were up this week because Trump promised the Straight would be opening soon

I’ve lost track. Is this guy a Evo stan or one of the American crooks we’ve been trying to install for the last 20 years?

Crazy that you can’t get a fair election in a country captured by American corporations.

It’s the plot of a number of Dickens novels.

Incidentally, when Charles Dickens was 12 years old, his father was thrown into prison for debt. Charles was forced to leave school and work ten-hour days at a boot factory in order to help support his family.

Colonial empires love imposing debt bondage on minority communities as a means of justifying wage slavery. Also as a form of collective punishment.

Also incidentally… The United States is stealing Afghanistan’s money.

Specifically, it has sequestered $3.5B of the $7B in the New York Federal Reserve branch owed to the Afghan Central Government, to be paid out to families of the 9/11 attacks. The remaining $3.5B is untouchable by the current government as well. And sanctions prevent Afghans from accessing global credit and trade, blocking them from doing business with neighboring Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbeckistan, and China.

The bankruptcy and trade sanctions mean Afghans can’t import relief aid or supplies for capital improvements. And the article illustrated the end results.
