This thread is for straight men only.

How to read the news about the head of the Spanish soccer Federation (a man) forcibly kissing a player on the Spanish women's team on the lips, after winning the world cup. You might be thinking:

  • What's the big deal? They're European! It's their culture!
  • And she smiled afterwards!
  • It was just spontaneous! He was overcome with emotion!
  • She released a statement saying that what's important to focus on is the victory!

@mekkaokereke have a female friend who got kissed unwanted in public out of the blue once. Everyone was so baffled, all eyes on them and then she slapped him so hard in the face he almost fell over. He's not doing that again.

Made some progress on the UI and bastic auth for the war crime reports apps thingy

Database and media is also prepared already

I have a way to convert an adress to latitude & longitude but it uses the Google API.. and i'd rather not

Maaaybe OpenMaps also has something like that.. suggestions are welcome :blobcatgiggle:

If large websites respected our choices regarding ads (DNT is a decade old, people!) and served contextual ads when asked to not track, we would not need to use .

Instead, for over a decade now web publishing industry's been hell bent on screwing readers over, ignoring clearly stated preferences, misrepresenting what they do with the data, and using dark patterns to maliciously mis-implement legal requirements when forced to do so.

Stop this crap and I might disable my AdBlocker.

@rysiek the amount of trust advertises would need to build up for me to do that is enormous. Certainly for established players with a track record, pun coincidental.

Hey , what pieces of GUI software would you like to see get some much needed UI/UX love? Asking for a friend.

For now, let's avoid huge pieces of very complicated software like Inkscape or GIMP here. Some simpler examples would be very much appreciated.

Remember the first rap song you heard? As the genre turns 50, the Associated Press asked some of your favorite rappers and DJs about the first ones they can recall and how the music influenced their lives. Their responses are like taking a trip down hip-hop memory lane. We want to know which rap song was the first one you heard: https://flip.it/xqs0qk

@mbonsma in my city they started putting up signs 'forbidden to overtake bicycles' on narrow roads to avoid that kind of situation. Of course it's only necessary because drivers don't know the rules like you said. It is actually forbidden also without extra signs, just because narrow.

Wow, Phoenix just went through 31 straight days at 110°F (43°C) or higher. Can you imagine?

Now, think about what happens someday if the electrical grid goes down and there's no air conditioning anywhere.

That's the hellish future our capitalist rulers are pushing us toward...

The 1.6 million people who live in Phoenix, Arizona, just experienced the hottest month ever recorded in a city in the United States.

On Monday, the city’s high fell to 108° Fahrenheit — a temperature that might only be considered a relief after the hellish run that Phoenix was on: 31 straight days that registered 110° or higher. Temperatures dipped slightly this week in the nation’s fifth-largest city, but they’re expected to climb again by the weekend.

The city’s average temperature in July was 102.7° F, the highest ever measured in the U.S. outside of California’s Death Valley, a bone-dry desertscape that’s thought to be the hottest place in the world. Daytime highs in July averaged above 114°, and nighttime lows routinely stayed above 90°.

Amid the Southwest’s “heat dome,” which has lasted for weeks and at one point extended its grip around more than 100 million people, emergency rooms have filled with patients suffering a range of heat-induced injuries: from cramping, exhaustion, and dehydration to life-threatening burns caused merely by touching pavement.

Phoenix’s record-breaking temperatures are a microcosm of the world’s. Globally, July was the hottest month in 120,000 years. Scientists have warned that this summer’s extreme heat has been a sign of what’s to come as the planet warms. The outlook is grim. Of all natural disasters — hurricanes, floods, tornadoes — extreme heat is the biggest killer, responsible for some 600 deaths a year in the U.S.

Scientists have long been warning that climate change is making the world hotter. The Southwest’s heat wave, like the recent record-breaking heat in other parts of the world, was made significantly more likely by a changing climate. The world’s warming also means that heat waves are getting longer and hotter — and it’s increasing the chances of back-to-back heat waves, which can leave officials little time to respond to extreme heat before it strikes again.

@dmoser importing batteries is effectively importing mined minerals with some temporary use perks. I wonder whether we will for that reason see manufacturers not selling the batteries but merely renting them to retain ownership of those minerals.
