Happy Birthday to Adam Smith (06-16-1723 to 07-17-1790). Mr. Smith was one of the most influential economists who ever lived. He wrote 2 significant and important books, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) and The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759).

Stand with Iran, stand with Palestine. No to U.S.-Israeli war in the Middle East


Israel’s recent missile strikes on Iran have killed over 200 Iranians in one week. Iran has rightfully defended itself, as any sovereign nation would, and has struck back with precision, raining missiles through Israel’s ‘Iron Colander’.

Despite what Rubio and others in the Trump administration say to distance themselves from the attack, they are complicit. The U.S. has never attempted to ‘de-escalate’ things. They have done the opposite. The U.S. Navy is shooting down the missiles Iran launches in self-defense. Israel’s attacks on Iran are deliberately provoking a wider war in the Middle East, and if U.S. military bases in the region are targeted, they only have themselves to blame.

This recent aggression is part of a decades-long campaign of assassinations, sanctions, and military provocations, aimed at weakening and destabilizing Iran and the arc of resistance.

While the U.S. arms Israel’s genocide, Iran arms the resistance. Iran has been a critical ally of Palestinian liberation, training and equipping resistance forces in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen to defend the Palestinian people against Zionist occupation. This is why the U.S. and Israel want Iran destroyed: not because of ‘terrorism’ or a nuclear threat, but because Iran refuses to kneel to imperialism in the region.

Dying empires like the U.S. are dangerous. They’re desperate to maintain control and in lashing out, they are escalating a war that could engulf the entire region. Everyone who prefers peace to war should stand with Iran, and all forces of resistance against imperialism and Zionism.

Stand with Iran!

Stand with the Palestinian Resistance!

End U.S. aid to Israel‒No to war in the Middle East!

that right at the beginning cracked me up 🤣

1:13 In the last couple of years, I've managed to get a lot of normies to be more interested in tech policy by coining this word that lets them swear. And that word is enshittification. And it turns out that just a very minor license to profanity is a great way to get people to engage with what I flatter myself is a pretty nuanced technical political message about how we got here and what we should do about it.

Update on being ticketed: Cops and the city government and the DNR have said I am allowed to have a native prairie yard as long as it doesn’t go over 8 inches. I am supposed to cut prairie grass and flowers to 8 inches. Like Morticia Addams cutting off rose blooms but keeping thorny stems. Prairie is waist high, naturally. This is the stupidest fucking timeline we’re living in.

"The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but…

"The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which 'we', the clever ones, are going to impose upon 'them', the Lower Orders."

"Marx’s Kapital is not a treatise on socialism; it is a gerrymand against the bourgeoisie. It was supposed to be written for the working class, but the working man respects the bourgeoisie and wants to be a bourgeoisie. Marx never got a hold of him for a moment. It was the revolting sons of the bourgeoisie itself, like myself, that painted the flag red. The middle and upper classes are the revolutionary element in society. The proletariat is the conservative element."

Full sets of matching cookware. Its almost always a bunch of display junk that never gets used. Buy your stuff as individual pieces, you'll likely have nicer quality. This goes for pots, pans, knives, silverware, spatulas, damn near everything cooking related.

Personal opinion, all-clad is overrated. Their skillet/saucepan handles are shit and hurt to hold for longer cooking sessions.

You tell me! You asked, so it seems like you have a different definition. Also I'm not the op you originally asked, I'm not going to answer for them, but seems they were very clear.

Whether they mean the same and how society accepts definitions of words are completely different. Do you call your mom a female or a woman? Because female would be insulting in my opinion.

In a more scientific environment absolutely female and woman could mean exactly the same and have no difference. But in society if you call a woman a female I would not care if she slapped the shit out of you.

screenshot from al jazeera. im surprised al jazeera doesn't have anyone editing the live feed that understands the difference between the Caliphs and Imams but oh well.
What the comment implies, is no matter the size of the army, the followers of Imam Ali never back down in the fight for good.
Clearly, nobody has done any research at all on the Iranians lol.

Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don't like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don't fucking pay it. It's not that hard.

Jump Ship Demo is Live!


I've been interested in trying this game out ever since they posted some early gameplay footage over a year ago. Looks kind of like a mix between Star Citizen (in and out of ship gameplay), Helldivers (4 player co-op/PvE missions), and Sea of Thieves.

Nintendo Switch 2 Hacked in 48 Hours — But Here’s Why It’s Just the Beginning


What people miss about Steam Deck's "loss" to Nintendo


It’s silly to compare Switch 2 sales to Steam Deck sales.

The Switch 2 is a locked-down, vertically integrated platform. There are no ROG Switch 2s. No Lenovo Switch 2s. No Switch laptops or tower PCs with discrete GPUs. If you want to play Mario Kart World, your only option is to buy a Switch 2. Period.

Steam Deck, by contrast, isn’t a platform. It’s just one hardware option—one entry point into the sprawling, open ecosystem known as PC gaming.

Every year, around 245 million PCs are shipped globally. If even 20–25% of those are gaming-focused, that’s 49–61 million gaming PCs annually. Steam Deck is a sliver of that. So of course it won’t outsell a console that’s the only gateway to a major IP.

But that’s exactly the point.

PC gaming is too decentralized for any single device to dominate. The last “PC” that did was the Commodore 64, which sold 12.5–17 million units over 12 years because it was a self-contained platform, unlike modern Windows, Mac, or Linux machines.

That the Steam Deck has sold 4 million units despite competing with every other gaming PC in existence is remarkable. It didn’t just sell—it legitimized a category. Handheld PC gaming is now a thing. That’s why Lenovo, ASUS, and MSI have followed. Even Microsoft is getting in, optimizing Windows for handhelds—something they would never have done if the Steam Deck didn't hold their feet to the fire.

So no, Steam Deck didn’t outsell the Switch 2. It didn’t need to.

It won by changing the landscape.

Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it's good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole 😀

in reply to propitiouspanda

I think you’re making it out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.


Well, the developers did make it a feature to be able to ban based on voting.

We didn't always have that feature, it's relatively new. So I guess there were enough people asking for it that it became a thing. Also, you yourself mentioned that you were troubled at seeing the "normalization" of the practice, so obviously there are enough people seeing it as an issue that you have noticed it.

Also, you put too much value into the meaning of votes.


Again, I'd love if Lemmy got rid of the option to upvote/downvote. And just for background, I once had a guy who would take screen shots of how many dowvotes I had on my posts, then post that screenshot, and laugh about it and use that to argue to others that they should just bully me off of Lemmy. I won't say his name here, but he still mentions my name a lot. lol

Learn to deal with criticism.


There's criticism, and then there's the weird stalker types that seem to be on Lemmy that become serial downvoters. There are even some that create downvoting bots. Yeah, bots just to downvote. That has also been an issue that admin had to work on.

No voting at all, would solve it though!

Yeah, we need to make sure people like you and ideas like yours infest as few communities as possible.

You're clearly not mature enough to handle anonymous discourse on the internet, so you need to have tools in place to abuse your power against those you don't like.

I'm going to ignore you now. Hopefully we don't have to cross paths again and I never have the displeasure of seeing one of your censored communities.

Any foods you prefer or can't stand depending on whether they are raw, fresh, pickled, cooked etc?


I thought I hated capsicum most of my life but lately (past my mid 30s) I've come to actually really like it raw. As in salads or sandwiches. I'm enjoying that. As a child my parents would add it frequently to meals but it would always be cooked and I was never a fan.

Or mushrooms for example. I love them almost any way except preserved. If they came from inside a tin or jar with long shelf life the taste is just horrendous.

Similar for artichokes, they must be fresh.

I love sesame seeds, but I absolutely hate sesame seed oil and I can't understand why. The taste is so different.

Curious about yours. Any similar examples?

With a Trump-driven reduction of nearly 2,000 employees, F.D.A. will Use A.I. in Drug Approvals to ‘Radically Increase Efficiency’


Text to avoid paywall

The Food and Drug Administration is planning to use artificial intelligence to “radically increase efficiency” in deciding whether to approve new drugs and devices, one of several top priorities laid out in an article published Tuesday in JAMA.

Another initiative involves a review of chemicals and other “concerning ingredients” that appear in U.S. food but not in the food of other developed nations. And officials want to speed up the final stages of making a drug or medical device approval decision to mere weeks, citing the success of Operation Warp Speed during the Covid pandemic when workers raced to curb a spiraling death count.

“The F.D.A. will be focused on delivering faster cures and meaningful treatments for patients, especially those with neglected and rare diseases, healthier food for children and common-sense approaches to rebuild the public trust,” Dr. Marty Makary, the agency commissioner, and Dr. Vinay Prasad, who leads the division that oversees vaccines and gene therapy, wrote in the JAMA article.

The agency plays a central role in pursuing the agenda of the U.S. health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and it has already begun to press food makers to eliminate artificial food dyes. The new road map also underscores the Trump administration’s efforts to smooth the way for major industries with an array of efforts aimed at getting products to pharmacies and store shelves quickly.

Some aspects of the proposals outlined in JAMA were met with skepticism, particularly the idea that artificial intelligence is up to the task of shearing months or years from the painstaking work of examining applications that companies submit when seeking approval for a drug or high-risk medical device.

“I don’t want to be dismissive of speeding reviews at the F.D.A.,” said Stephen Holland, a lawyer who formerly advised the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on health care. “I think that there is great potential here, but I’m not seeing the beef yet.”

Israeli forces kill 17 people in latest Gaza aid massacre


At least 17 Palestinians have been killed and dozens more wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of displaced Palestinians waiting for food near a distribution site operated by the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in central Gaza, local health authorities said.

Doctors said casualties were sent to the Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza and Al-Quds Hospital in the north.

Massacres of Palestinians near GHF sites have become almost a daily occurrence since the organisation started operating at the end of May, with hundreds of people being killed and wounded by Israeli troops.
