Europe@feddit.org•ICE commander Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal todayEnglish
28·3 个月前Hi from Portugal. Chega (far right) is a major party in parliament right now (1/3) and arguably PSD (another 1/3) has gone far right lately especially on immigration. So we basically have two out of three parties who are far-right.
One of them even talked in parliament about “diluting Portuguese blood” and “keeping Portugal for the Portuguese”, right before they voted to retroactively prevent all the foreigners from being allowed to apply for nationality, and prevent most of the southeast Asians from being eligible to renew their residency.
They are also talking about trying to amend the constitution, not to put anything good in there.
So uh, you sure about that?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How can I avoid proprietary software on school & company computers?
3·4 个月前Oh yeah. The principal and the other administrators floated suspension, among other things. My parents had to take off work to come in and fight them with me. The staff were all so hopelessly ignorant of all things IT that they were acting as if I’d been using some kind of malware. After they decided to kick me off, they emailed all my teachers telling them I’d been banned for “hacking” and “deploying computer viruses”. It was all quite surreal. This was in Virginia, USA.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It feels like a trap to send your only proof of citizenship to the government to get a passport (USA)... like you'd have no real physical document to prove your citizenship during those few weeks...

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How can I avoid proprietary software on school & company computers?
4·4 个月前I got banned from the school computers one year back in high school for the “crime” of using portable apps off a flash drive! This was back when IE6 was the standard and I wanted to use Firefox. Maybe 2006? Sounds funny now in retrospect but it was pretty annoying at the time.

11·4 个月前Nobody needs a private jet or a superyacht. They are hugely environmentally damaging and serve no purpose. These should be banned, yesterday. If you’re rich, congratulations, you can fly first class on a commercial flight. More than that, fuck you.

World News@lemmy.world•'Hairdryer used to trick weather sensor' to win $34,000 Polymarket betEnglish
74·4 个月前This is where those predictions markets get actually dangerous, not just in terms of financial stuff, but incentivising the committing of crimes in order to win bets. How long will it be before someone commits a violent crime in order to win their polymarket wager?

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?
4·5 个月前That’s the only way for comics or anything else because you can’t really expect users to research the whole ideological history of the author every time they see a funny picture and want to repost it.
I’m not sure I have a strong opinion either way on the censorship vs not supporting bigots debate, but, to the extent the community decides to ban any authors/artists, there needs to be a quick and concise list that posters can consult.






Could have just stopped at “Zuck lied” because that guy has never told the truth once in his entire life
