I feel like having to hug a power socket constantly is a worse solution to just having all my USB cables be 2m long especially if you want a clean desk.

For example this setup is not possible with just 1m if you actually want to also use the phone

Who are all these people that have outlets next to where they usually use a phone and can use a 1m cable? All my cables are 2m because power sockets tend to be near the ground and phones and other items you charge tend to live on tables, desks and shelves. I don’t understand why the USB spec considers 1m to be enough for anything.

Spain has a lot of these types of brain dead big brother policies. They are also big fans of chat control and seem to generally hate personal privacy.

I do agree that the punishment should be severe and the perpetrator should lose acess to setting foot in the country again, but the problem with capital punishment is that you can be wrong about who is the perpetrator and kill innocents. It has happened many times and it’s the reason why most civilized countries have eliminated it.

Again this is my opinion, everyone who cares about it already knows beyond a shadow of a doubt what this is, everyone else will continue to attempt confusion and deny it until theres no living resident in Gaza. I disagree that this particular action would change anything in terms of anyone’s perception on the lies.

As I said in another comment there is politics at EU level and my argument is not against making waves, it’s about taking the conservation to where it hurts more for the politicians that don’t act. Making waves is very much a viable option since it’s been a recent staple of some politicians.

I guess the root issue with this is that they don’t act and if they lose their office to someone else those people also don’t act, at least not in the interest of the people. So we would need someone who actually acts instead of just talks and promises and I feel like Greta would be one of those people.

There are parties and ministers and multiple institutions at european union level that drive conversations and can put a lot more pressure on the rest of the world than any single private individual.

I already did in broad terms. I would target politics, start a party or movement, grab power, votes and influence, take the helm and actually enact policy and put pressure where it hurts. Even this flotilla would make a lot more sense if it would be a marketing stunt to gain something else, but it really does seem to be limited to exposure which is not enough, everyone already knows the tragedy that is happening and yet those who can actually decide have said time and time again we can all get fucked.

Right but my point is that they already did this and nothing changed. Everyone who cares to know knows already and everyone else doesn’t care. Actions speak louder than words and the world has already spoken even if any decent person is against it, this won’t change anything anymore.

I have to say I don’t get this. They keep trying again and again but to what end. There’s no way this will change anything. The navy will intercept them, maybe kill some people in the process, dump the food and sent them back home. It all feels like a huge waste of manpower, resources and time.

But by this point I’m wondering if Greta feels like she’s achieving much with the make noise strategy. I feel like that could work in a world that cares which ours increasingly is not that. She could attain more by going into politics for example. But dying in the sea on her way to a brick wall would be a huge loss that I can’t follow the logic of.

Humans are the ones that are harming and dividing us. If religion is gone they’ll find a new way to do it. Us vs them mentality is part of human nature and has always attached itself to anything that can be called ours vs theirs. Religion, politics, sports, skin color, language, the fucking phone brand you use, you name it.

It’s also why I think people say they don’t want lemmy to change, that they want to filter out people, whenever the state of the platform is discussed, how it’s not user friendly and properly thought out to be scalable.

What is it with everyone being obsessed with porn censorship suddenly? Why is this a trend?

At first I thought it’s about control and data gathering, but this seems like too much of a genuine attempt at such a system. Why is the government so obsessed with parenting and nannying the citizens?

So you have the same password for everything? Which would mean a single password leak would compromise all of your accounts?

The protocol is 30 years old. It has been replaced 3 times over by thunderbold. The connector doesn’t fit on most modern devices and has been replaced by usb-c.

Why would anyone want it back?

Is the wish to bring back an outdated communication protocol or an outdated connector?

Thunderbolt is already integrated in usb-c.

My imediate first though was how incredibly autistic this behavior is and fits perfectly with the rest of his persona.

So you’ve learned today that you can just say someone’s name as an equivalent to an exasperated "bro… "
