The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 16.11.24
  • I'm not sure what you mean? The war is close to 1000 days old, meaning the average is just above 9 tanks lost per day.
    So 8 is pretty close to average, the difference being that Russia had plenty in the beginning, but are running short now.

  • Alabama’s infant mortality rate rises to seven-year high
  • Probably the same for pregnant women. I wonder what could be the cause for this?

    we don’t have an explanation.

    Wow really? Are they really that far gone in denial about sexual education and abortion rights?
    I guess it won't get better soon then.

  • Trump promise to repeal Biden climate policies could cost US billions, report finds
  • Trump, however, has called this spending wasteful and vowed to erase it.

    The reasoning of Trump for this:
    I'm 78 years old, spending money on the safety of climate and the earth in the future, will not benefit me, a sociopathic malignant narcissist, in any way.

    USA is polluting 4 times the global average per capita, meaning about 5% of the global population is producing about 20% of the world pollution.
    If USA decide to do nothing, it's a huge setback for the world, and very irresponsible.

  • AI Expert Warns Crash Is Imminent As AI Improvements Hit Brick Wall
  • AI is already VERY successful in some areas, when you take a photo, it is treated with AI features to improve the image, and when editing photos on your phone, the more sophisticated options are powered by AI. Almost all new cars have AI features.
    These are practical everyday uses, you don't even have to think about when using them.
    But it's completely irrelevant if I can see use cases that are sustainable or not. The fact is that major tech companies are investing billions in this.
    Of course all the biggest tech companies could all be wrong, but I bet they researched the issue more than me before investing.
    Show me by what logic you believe to know better.

    The claim that it needs to be strong AI to be useful is ridiculous.

  • This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X
  • saying every X user is a fascist seams an oversimplification.

    That's a straw man, nobody I saw here claimed that. The claim is that they don't mind fascism. Which is not the same.
    You can take a country with only 10%, if the remaining 90% remain passive. Staying at Xitter is remaining passive about their fascist propaganda.

  • This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X
  • I think you are confused, this is not lemmy.ml, and lemmy is open source, which is the part where it definitely becomes a false equivalence.
    Because just because the developers may be communists, that has zero bearing on the content of lemmy.world.
    The developers do not own lemmy. And do not claim control of the platform.
    Musk is a fascist who owns and control twitter, and has used it to push his fascist agenda, spending $40 billion to be able to do that!

    Lemmy is by the people for the people.
    Xitter is owned and controlled by the worlds richest narcissist, who has claimed total control, and is using it to push fascism.

    So very much a false equivalence.

  • This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X
  • I understand you are hurt and angry.

    That's ad hominem.

    But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world

    That doesn't change anything, whatever country you are from, using Xitter means you are using and thereby supporting a fascist platform.

    You are in your own bubble

    OK, and which bubble is that?
    Seems to me that the ones in a bubble are those that continue to use Xitter, oblivious to it supporting fascism, or accepting that it does. Now THAT's being in a bubble.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 14.11.24
  • Expect him to do things more selfish, stupid, and heartless than you thought possible.

    Absolutely, Trump is an obvious flaming narcissist completely without conscience.

    As a whole, Americans have been brainwashed

    Couldn't agree more, USA as a society is mentally ill, they've been indoctrinated about personal freedom to a degree where half the population consider sociopathy as a virtue.

    Also, 50 tanks in a day is wild

    It was 19 today, but still pretty crazy.

  • This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X
  • So because there aren't other options that are as good for your personal interests, you are OK with using a fascist supporting platform. But somehow you think it's unfair to say you are sort of OK with fascism, since you are using a clearly fascist supporting platform.

    You know, that's called compromising your ideals for convenience. And if you are American you got what you deserve with Trump.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 14.11.24
  • I don't think we (Europe) should wait for USA, Trump could also decide to end all US aid to Ukraine, which I personally find more likely.
    He would then claim it as a victory, for saving tax payer money, despite he is undermining American interests internationally, and aiding Russia that is an obvious enemy to USA.
    Trump is compromised, all his actions regarding international affairs show this.

  • Great phone, too bad I chose the glass back.

    The glass back is NOT very resilient. it slipped from my pocket in my pants, while sitting on the terrace, a ca. 40-50cm drop, and the glass back cracked. This is the ONLY time I dropped it, so it's not like one time too many.

    I'm never buying a glass back phone ever again. Glass is not premium, it's a design flaw.

    Russia's Kharkiv offensive – what is the plan?

    >Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures that Russia had in the beginning of the war.

    4 months durability for an $800 phone!

    My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones, despite the Moto had cheap Panda glass front.

    Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January, and I loved the phone for the camera and good specs. But alas after only 4 months, and single drop of just 30 cm while sitting on the porch, the glass back immediately cracked! The back now looks like an ugly mess, and the high water resistance is very likely gone too.

    For sure the last time I buy a phone with a glass back!!!

    I wonder why glass back is so popular, and I curse the media for reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S2 as "feeling a bit cheap", because the back was synthetic, and drop tests showed it was 10 times as durable as the iPhone with its glass back.

    Samsung did it right in the beginning, glass backs are a curse.

    PS: I don't use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it's an obvious design flaw!!!

    The glass back is supposedly there to give a premium feel to the phone. But because it's fragile, people have to use a cover, but with the cover, the premium feel of a glass back is gone anyways? How is glass back not a design flaw?

    EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:

    I am not clumsy, that's why I believe the phone should be able to last without cover. This was the first time the phone slid out of my packet, and I've NEVER dropped it out of my hands. One 30 cm slip and it's broken. Where for instance my Moto had maybe 4-6 in all over the years, and remained unscathed, apart from some tiny scratches. The sliding out of pocket does occur maybe a couple of times per year, but it's a low drop, and the phone should absolutely be able to handle that tiny drop, as it's an item for everyday use. I've also never had problems with scratches on my screen on any phone, which is the reason people use screen protectors I guess, which I don't either, because they are ugly, for instance they create a tiny ring around the camera, and they feel awful IMO, my phone came with it, and it took exactly 10 seconds for me to decide to remove it, because I could feel the edge of the screen protector when using the phone. But please stop with the dropping my phone regularly comments! Just because I dropped my Moto a few times (slid out of pocket) over almost 4 years! Always from low height, which it should be able to handle a few times.

    Why do Google searches not give maps links anymore?

    It used to be very convenient that when searching for something that had a geographic location, Google searches used to show a small map which linked to Google maps when pressed. Now all I get i a tiny useless map, that doesn't have any of the feature of Google maps, and often I don't even get that. Anyone know why that is? And if there is a fix? I use Firefox, but I'm guessing it's independent of browser, unless Google is up to their shenanigans again. I've added Google maps as search option, which luckily is dead easy in Firefox to do. At the same time I added Open Street Map, to minimize Google map use to maybe show them they are losing traffic.
