World News@quokk.au•Seven-day weeks and ‘debt bondage’: China’s first electric car plant in Europe mired in allegations of worker abuse
5·20 days agoNot really, but it won’t stop them from using it as a sales tactic to snag a few patriots. America has been doing that for years. I remember seeing a Maytag appliance that had a big red, white, and blue USA sticker. I was floored initially at the thought of America actually making something, but my suspicions quickly took over and before long i read that they are assembling the appliances on American soil using “globally sourced” parts. Basically the last mile in the manufacturing stage was performed on American soil, which completely justifies giving pretty much all the credit to them.

World News@quokk.au•Tired of high costs, some Americans are importing homes straight from China
9·1 month agoSome of the houses in my town were ordered from a Sears catalog back in the day!
Fair game then. I just thought they were getting up in HDs grill, would have been pretty funny tbh. They’re both gonna wind up getting pwn’d by Vevor one day though, i think…
Edit: i can kinda see that red now. It appeared orange to me initially, possibly because I’m so used to seeing the orange HD pail
Wow, is Harbor Freight really ripping off the orange Home Depot pail? I mean, i know you can’t “rip off” something as simple as a pail but to make it that specific orange? HF is declaring a duel the way things are lookin’ 👀 lol

NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•A short summary of the not war with IranEnglish
27·1 month agoIt never occurred to me that the beef the US has with other countries having nukes is because it would put them on even footing. No nukes = no leverage.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘Pandora’s box’: Danielle Smith and insurance giants unleash attack on healthcare
16·1 month agoThe ultimate goal of Bill 11 is the creation of a private, for-profit fast lane for what should be publicly insured care—and a slower, public lane for those who can’t afford to pay.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Huge Group of Experts Warns Meta That Its Pervert Glasses Will Enable Terrible Crimes
1·2 months agoI found this morsel particularly poignant:
"Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.
“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Linux Sees Fixes For Its GD-ROM Driver In 2026 For Sega DreamcastEnglish
1·2 months agoIt’s awesome this 25+ year old system is still getting love from the community. The Dreamcast was really cool for it’s time. Reminds me of when i was still optimistic about new consoles… Not that it was the best ever by any stretch but it did enough to earn it’s place in my collection.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•might be a form of Jevons Paradox
1·3 months agoI always felt American car companies were a really good example of that back in the 60s-70s when enormously long vehicles with giant engines were the order of the day. Why not bigger? Why not stronger? It also acted as a symbol of American strength, which was being measured by raw power just like today lol.
This also reminds me of the way video game programmers in the late 70s/early 80s had such tight limitations to work within that you had to get creative if you wanted to make something stand out. Some very interesting stories from that era.
I also love to think about the tricks the programmer of Prince of Persia had employed to get the “shadow prince” to work…







Wow, interesting decision! 🥴
