Every day, every time.

Day 1234 of “We’re working on a ceasefire” and mass grave #999 of “We’re trying to minimize casualties”

That won’t happen, both parties are bought out by AIPAC, just AIPAC will stop splitting the money and give it only to the one who doesn’t give them what they want. If a Democrat president said “I’m ending this here, enough bloodshed” AIPAC would fund the Republicans, despite how much Republicans hate Jews, quietly and publicly.

I’m not trying to defend the literal actual genocide, I’m trying to say the money makes them keep their hands flowing with greenbacks and blood of civilians.

EDIT: The two below, I blocked you before two for being liberals who have defended genocide and argue that somehow Democrats need to support the genocide and its a good thing that AIPAC owns both parties. Mainly soup is a troll who acts smarter than everyone else.

Starting to become impossible these days. I’m voting for Harris but I’m also willing to criticize her. “Pushing her left” is what I’m told to do, so I am. But every time we do, we’re called secret Trump supporters or Russian bots.

YeetPics is basically a democratic version of a MAGA hat wearing weirdo. Every single time someone upsets them they claim they are funded by Soros Russian agents. If they hate you so much, why not block you? Instead they just get more upset for free.

Meanwhile I can just use the same shortcuts every other program made in the last 40 years uses. Ctrl+Q to quit, Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Z for undo. If I wanted to consult a cheatsheet to relearn keyboard shortcuts, I’ll use vim and emacs.

Nano isn’t even that simple. Ctrl+X to quit? I guess if you use phonetic sounds to figure out how to exit a program. At least Vim uses the idea of “use what the words start with.”

I personally use micro in the terminal, and Kate if I want a GUI to write. Vim and Emacs are fine for those who want it, I have no stakes in the editor wars beyond “I just want my program to do what I want, and I want it to be simple to learn.”

Every world leader above 60 should be out of office. They don’t have the same opinions and energy of the people they are leading into climate change beyond saving, and increased interest of Fascism.

No you don’t understand, we use this bot to deem people as biased. Ignoring that all media is biased to its owners’ financial interest and nothing else.

Hell Lemmy.world has banned active users posting NBC and CBS and other reputable news outlets because they shared them too often.

The mods who installed this bot act like its some major service, when all it does is enforce the shifted overton window and acts like news and trends isn’t bought and sold to the highest bidder.

This bot doesn’t improve anything, it doesn’t make mods jobs easier, it just wastes energy like Bitcoin and AI farms.

Then go have a nap… THEN FIRE ZA MISSLES!

She thought that the group of trans people that run 196 was somehow enabling transphobia and other horrid things when we constantly removed it.

And when we removed it, she said it was better for communication if kept things up to show the idiots.

And then when I kept it up, she got mad at me for not instantly banning and removing them.

Like everything 196 does was inherently a master plan where we messed with all users just for her.

She’s banned because she constantly went “I can’t wait to leave this place” and never did. So I left the ban note along the lines of “If you want to leave, you can. You’re not, you’re harassing users and defending tankies, so take this time to breath some air.”

It only really impacted me and a few others on Blahaj/196. She “swore off” the rest of Lemmy (still has it, still uses it) and said that being on Hexbear was better for her than other spaces online, and anyone disagreeing, even other trans women, were all wrong.

Shout out to that one user named Good Girl who swore that being on Hexbear and Lemmygrad meant she got better treatment than the rest of lemmy.

I hope she gets over her self-hatred and loves herself as much as outside of those spaces.

That is genuinely amazing, losing 60 ships to a country without an actually big navy. Invading Ukraine to have warm waters for your navy, and you still lose.

This is Russia’s “don’t invade Russia in winter”. Don’t launch a naval assault on Ukraine, apparently.

Thank fuck. I hope they stay in power.

Genuinely feels great to be hopeful about some parts of technology/software like this. I eagerly look forward to an update from KDE and sometimes GNOME.

Compare that to Google, Microsoft, any other public big tech, I start to just question why I’m not living in the forest as a new member of a Bigfoot extended family.

Here’s my attempt at copying the article for readers:

To Fight ‘Shrinkflation,’ France Will Force Retailers to Warn Shoppers

• Merchants will be required to put signs in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut.

For months, the shelves of Carrefour, France’s biggest supermarket chain, have been dotted with bright orange signs placed in front of Pepsi bottles, Lays potato chips and a variety of other foods whose packages are suspiciously smaller than they used to be.

“Shrinkflation,” the signs say. “This product has seen its volume decrease and the price charged by our supplier increase.”

On Friday, the French government took steps to require every food retailer in the country to follow suit. By July 1, stores will have to plaster warnings in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut, in a bid to combat the consumer scourge known as shrinkflation.

“The practice of shrinkflation is a scam,” Bruno Le Maire, France’s finance minister, said in a statement. “We are putting an end to it.”

The government is also encouraging shoppers to act as informers, urging those “who have doubts about the price per unit of measurement displayed on the shelves” to flag it to the authorities via France’s consumer reporting app.

The fight against the practice of downsizing products without also downsizing their prices has picked up in the United States, where President Biden has shamed food companies for raising prices even as inflation cooled.

Shrinkflation has become a point of outrage for shoppers in France, and a political issue for President Emmanuel Macron as consumers continue to grapple with a cost-of-living crisis. Although inflation has recently come down in Europe from the record highs of a year ago, the prices of many food products remain elevated.

Inflation in the eurozone fell to a new two-year low in March, the result of an aggressive campaign of interest rate increases by the European Central Bank. European governments had also worked to ease prices for energy and food, through subsidies for electric bills and by negotiating with food manufacturers to force prices down.

In France, inflation has fallen now more than a third from a year earlier, but higher food prices have been persistent. A typical basket of food basics that includes items such as pasta and yogurt is 3 to 5 percent higher than it was a year ago, after a 16 percent surge for 2023.

Mr. Macron had promised to wrestle food costs down further this year. The government moved up annual price negotiations between suppliers and retailers in February, and put pressure on companies to limit increases.

The shrinkflation campaign is the latest weapon. Stores will have to display signs for two months after downsized products have been put on their shelves, according to the government decree issued Friday. The signs will appear near a variety of goods made by food companies, as well as for the supermarket’s private-label brands, from snacks and soda to bags of rice and laundry detergent. Prepackaged foods, like shrink-wrapped deli cold cuts or foods sold in bulk, will be exempt.

Many global consumer goods companies have raised prices by double-digit percentages in the past year, attributing the increases to higher costs of ingredients and labor. Even so, many of those companies have reported expanding profits as they sell fewer items at higher prices.

The issue came to a head in France last year when Carrefour announced that it would no longer sell PepsiCo products because the prices were “unacceptably” high for consumers, escalating a showdown by French retailers to name and shame brands that were not reducing prices as inflation eases.

As part of its campaign, Carrefour also put up shrinkflation posters next to products like Lipton tea warning shoppers that they were paying a higher price for a product whose volume had shrunk.

France has submitted a proposal to the European Union that would force food retailers throughout Europe to carry out a shrinkflation labeling campaign.

I wish we had a small percent of what France does for its consumer rights in the United States.

South Park would probably be on the side of Google and other corporations, Matt and Trey are diehard libertarian capitalists.

Interesting, thank you. No one in the circles I’m in who were hyping up Russian hypersonic missiles as the next ICBM mentioned this.

I recall hearing how Russia had dozens of them, and the ROI of a 40 million dollar missile taking out a 400 million ship was great. And then Ukraine got worse and nothing happened, with zero of them ever found or used.

And North Korea thinks it can even attempt that. I guess we need a “new” geopolitical boogieman to pander for increasing military budgets, since Russia is losing and China does it usual “we will take over Taiwan, unlike last year!” every year.
