This is Sicily we’re talking about - local politics is pretty dicey.

It was Palermo, apparently, but yes - there were complaints because of some road closures.

Venice was Bezos.

The UN has officially condemned Israel well over 100 times. I doubt one more will make much difference.

The more important goal, at least for the affected workers, is it can lead to an employment tribunal and compensation (with no upper limit) for their lost income.

It’s easy to be cynical about the bigger picture, but don’t lose sight of the fact this can still be a big win for these workers.

Any Wallpaper Engine enthusiasts here that can educate me as to why it’s so popular?

Is it really that much better than just finding wallpapers with an image search like in the old days?

Honestly, if Musk is against it I’m more inclined to believe they’re doing something right.

They’re not banning IRC or forums, though?

This is just straight-up incorrect. uBOL is not going away.

Regardless of how you may feel, the statistics are not in your favour. Just compare gun deaths per capita in the US vs a country like the UK and it’s clear that the US approach to gun control (or lack thereof) is insane.

Carrying a knife, other than a folding pocket knife, without ‘good reason’ is already illegal in the UK.

What they’re talking about is removing the exception for the kirpan.

There are no hacks available for Switch 2 so far.

The technology isn’t the problem, the companies are. All the things you listed are issues, but they are all also solved if you look slightly harder.

There are free video services that you can watch from anywhere, not to mention self-hosted VOD for all your definitely-legitimately-acquired media.

You can get video doorbells that aren’t from Ring or Google and link them to fully private systems like Home Assistant.

… okay there’s no solution for McDonald’s prices if you want McD’s, but - at least here in the UK - delivery bags are sealed so you can in fact tell if someone has eaten your fries.

Anyway, my point is you shouldn’t feel bad for imagining a cool future. We do get to live in that future, but we also have to be judicious about who we trust to deliver it.

You take that back - this bland monstrosity posing as a Ferrari doesn’t have a tenth of the personality of a Jensen Interceptor.

Yes, EVs come with a lot less maintenance and running costs. You’ll have to excuse the Facebook-quality image, but this does neatly sum up the main differences:

But the internet taught me that being cynical is cool! It’s all I know!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak an international emergency, with the DR Congo’s health ministry reporting around 350 suspected cases and 91 deaths.

And yet half a dozen Americans are apparently important enough to warrant the entire headline?

FYI you can access and download iCloud photos on a computer, which might help your wife transfer them without using her phone.

Which? argues that a customer who would have theoretically paid £1.99 for the service but was not able to do so because the actual £2.99 price was unaffordable suffered a £1 loss, even though the customer paid nothing.

Maybe you have to be a lawyer to understand this, because to me it sounds like complete nonsense.

Yep, CotEditor is fantastic - solo dev and they’re very careful to follow the actual macOS interface guidelines, so it looks and feels native throughout.

There may be occasional inaccuracies

I’ll say. Tried a handful of things I’m actually familiar with and it was full of mistakes and hallucinated ‘facts’.

Typical AI slop - looks good at a distance but crumbles under the merest scrutiny.
