'Sobering reality' for Trump as he rages at night to friends about negative press: report in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] matlag 14 points 2 days ago

"Friends": people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?

Trump warned automakers not to raise prices after his tariffs and be happy how ‘great’ they are in c/news@lemmy.world

And that will come, but unfortunately not before he turned the country into a fascist state with no more balance of power. At that time, oligarchs will have their useful idiot removed and replaced by a real puppet that will be granted absolute power.

Trump names ‘first buddy’ and DOGE head Elon Musk to investigate Signal blunder in c/politics@lemmy.world

So next time it will be fucked up all the same, but using X private messages instead of Signal.

That should do!

Yes, you'll have these weapons, but you'll be facing a drunk moose.

Which boardgames have you been playing this week? (24 Mar) in c/boardgames@sopuli.xyz

Nemesis Lockdown

We had played Nemesis before, this was our first shot at LD. 5 players, and we had a blast!

Some co-op move, some sketchy moves: a base self-destruction cancelled at the last minute, an assassination attempt that failed and miserably backfired, a well executed plan ruined by the contingency.

It was epic and awesome!

Compared to the original Nemesis, since there is no destination and no engine status to check, the dynamic is a bit different: all players move around focused on their personal goals without raising so much suspicion. The light system adds a bit of tension and more opportunities to play tricks on the other players.

Definitely deserves the praises it received. I can't wait to play it again!

The guy lives in a f***ing video game where "people" must be an abstract concept reacting to a simple set of rules, and none of the actual physical people he can see is part of it.

This isn't 'Right vs Left' in c/aiop@lemmy.world

Statistics tell me there is a relation between healthcare and life expectation.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-vs-health-expenditure

Note the US is the outlier here: that's the only country in the world with significant spending and no universal healthcare system (only 10 countries in the world don't have one). And even with that, medical debt is still the first cause of bankrupcy.

If you slash medicaid, you go to the left of that chart, but you also go down. That's a political choice, really.

Fortunately, enough institutions were torn apart that soon the US will also be the exception for being unable to provide numbers for the years to come.

European Skype alternative? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Matrix or XMPP and just pick a European server. Since we talk about getting local, let's also de-enshitify the Internet and adopt open standards!

Don't worry: the law will be very carefully crafted so that it will be legal only if they do it, not us.

Unfortunately, phone OSes alternatives are still far behind Android and iOS for most people.

But you can use a de-Googled Android distribution: Graphene (probably the best choice but Google Pixel only and may have a learning curve), Calyx, Lineage, eOS.

For the dishes: I don't know the details of the 2 systems, but is there no way to retrofit the Starlink dishes to use Eutelsat's constellation? I mean if we exclude the legal IP mess for reverse-engineering the electronics and software.

Reading material for learners? (self.languagelearning)
 

I'm using Duolingo to improve my Mandarin and learn to read, and to learn Spanish.

Does anyone have some recommendations of texts for learners to practice reading?

My wife suggested me to use kids books, but I'd like a more motivating content than teddy bear's adventures...

Match Madness only (self.duolingo)
submitted 2 years ago by matlag to c/duolingo@lemmy.ml

So it's been a while now since the leaderboard's challenge is Match Madness every day except on Saturday, when it's the Ramp Up.

I don't know if it's just me but that's getting me pretty disengaged. I quickly hit my limit on the Match Madness, then it has no interest to me.

Previously, I would use these challenges on a daily basis, as a way to review past lessons. Damned, I would use them over and over to score high in the leaderboard too.

Now I've completely lost interest in the leaderboard, but worse: I'm wondering if I'm moving back by lack of practice on past lessons vocabulary and grammar.

I don't feel like going through some past lessons and pick some randomly. How do you make sure you do pick randomly?

Am I the only one who thinks that "all Match Madness" thing is a regression?
