  • Israelis rally for end to Gaza war and release of captives

    Jump

  • I didn't find any estimates of participation count in the demonstration that day. On one hand, I'm glad to see some Israeli resistance, on the other it still feels very muted considering the urgency and need of the Gaza locals.

  • Actor Terence Stamp, who starred as Superman villain, dies aged 87

    Jump

  • My favourite performance of his was Toby Dammit. RIP

  • Air Canada union says flight attendants will continue strike, defy government

    Jump

  • Just a hunch, but maybe most judges qualified to rule on an aviation case have at some point worked with some major carriers?

  • The French railway network has shrunk over the years

    Jump

  • And I suppose you assume that cars will just float magically if you build a railroad?

  • No more Blocktoberfest? German court throws book at ad blockers

    Jump

  • Sorry but I just don't buy this slippery slope argument. Like what is the next step then and what is stopping them from taking that step straight away?

    Jump

  • Another desperate attempt by technologically illiterate media giants to hold on to their ad revenue. Even if this would pass into legislation somehow, good luck enforcing it.

  • The French railway network has shrunk over the years

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if you've really thought this one through. Railway maintenance is expensive, and operating stations and switches requires personnel as well. In low-traffic areas you could get away with one single bus line, meaning you only need to maintain that one bus and pay the driver's salary.

  • 'Tesla shame' bypasses Norway as sales jump despite Musk's politics

    Jump

  • I understood they let anyone charge only on paper, using higher fees as a barrier for non-teslas. I might be wrong though.

  • 'Tesla shame' bypasses Norway as sales jump despite Musk's politics

    Jump

  • But it's really all about the charging infrastructure and the seamless technology of the car. No one comes even close."

    Norway is big and sparsely populated. Having access to supercharging stations really makes several hours difference on your roadtrip if you exceed the car's range

  • AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over

    Jump

  • Hmm that is alarming then. To be honest I didn't read the complete article, which you linked, but on first glance paints a very different picture.

  • Coal use isn’t cast as a sign of villainy, as it would be among some circles in the U.S. – it’s simply seen as outdated. This pragmatic framing, Fishman argued, allows policymakers to focus on efficiency and results rather than political battles.

    There's truly something for western politicians to learn from this

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • I believe in balancing quotas and rebuilding social structures to be more inclusive. That's something that takes several generations to bear fruit.

    Shaming or bullying anyone for what kind of body or privilege they were born into is where I draw the line.

    edit: those who downvoted this are most welcome to reply this comment and explain their point. I'm open to discuss

  • The "I love you" knock has me choking inside

    Jump

  • What exactly does a "long" knock sound like?

  • Gericht: Gastwirt muss sich bei Bewertungen auch mal abservieren lassen

    Jump

  • Google sieht das anscheinend anders, und löscht umstrittene Rezensionen gerne ohne Gerichtsentscheidungen

  • Oh, good to know! I will look at other options then

  • is Lemmy the most popular 'Reddit Alternative'?

    Jump

  • Subjectively speaking, after switching to Piefed I feel like "the internet is back".

    Engaging conversation, good tools for filtering the front page to your liking, and the audience seems generally speaking more mature. I do expect that to change if the platform grows in size.

  • The US Air Force is planning to use Cybertrucks for target practice

    Jump

  • They could've included in the title the amount of cybertrucks (2). Smells like clickbait

  • Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I installed both Organic Maps and Streetcomplete on my phone now.
