plz1to BBC - US and Canada@ibbit.at•Newlywed wife of US soldier freed by ICE after detention at military baseEnglish3·2 days agoAs much as I’d like to believe it was the threat or risk of this, in reality, I’m more prone to believe it was how widely publicized the story was on all the talking news head shows.
I found it more weird that the military even allowed ICE onto a base for this in the first place. I would have thought (hoped?) ICE and the military are isolated from each other.
plz1to Inside Climate News@ibbit.at•US Senators Investigate $370 Million IRS Payout to Cheniere EnergyEnglish1·2 days agoThey can, and should, do both.
This is the part where Israel picks up the bombing/keeps going, so Iran retaliates, and the US then swoops back in to “defend Israel from unprovoked attacks”.
If you’re not using the ready-bake ones, you can just cut the par-cooked noodles to fit.
If Trump orders these bombed anyways, and the military executes these orders knowing this, they deserve the Nuremberg-style trials that can and hopefully will happen.
plz1to News•She helped the authorities deport her abuser. Then they deported her back to him.English21·3 days agoUnfortunately, the wait time to receive one of these visas is often more than 15 years.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has defended the deportations, arguing that crime victims can return later if their visas are eventually approved.
So if you’re still alive in 15 years, let us know. Also, we haven’t heard from you, so you need to restart the process.
plz1to A Boring Dystopia•'No on-site doctor': Dental student died in ICU overseen by remote 'tele-health' physician who pronounced him dead on a video screen, lawsuit saysEnglish151·4 days agoUnlikely, without regulation against this. Fines are just a cost of business, since they are never, ever costly enough. Either a true penalty fine, or executives in prison, or both, are the only response to ensure change, here.
plz1to Hardware•Sofa PC gamers rejoice! A gaming-friendly TV with DisplayPort is coming this year — and it uses high-end screen tech you won’t find in any monitorsEnglish2·4 days agoBut the second element is that this is an RGB-backlit mini-LED TV, and Hisense claims that it should be able to hit over 100% of the BT.2020 pro color space, and is also Pantone validated (though the latter doesn’t mean too much — Hisense’s more affordable TVs have this rating too).
How does something “hit over 100%”?
I wish I could find somewhere that made real FL-41 clip-ons. I loved my Theraspecs sunglasses when I wore contact lenses, but in regular glasses, I can’t get that same benefit. I’m not willing to buy two pair so I can have one with and one without, because they want you to send your glasses to them for coating.
EDIT: To OP, yes, they do really well at reducing blue light, which is one of the more common triggers for photophobia-related issues like migraines.
EDIT 2: If anyone has tried the lenses from Somnilight, I’d love to hear unbiased feedback. They apparently do sell clip-ons, unlike Theraspecs, for way less money, too.
plz1to News•Trump warns Iran to reopen strait of Hormuz by Tuesday or face ‘hell’English22·4 days agoI’m downvoting this purely because of how extensively the title is sane-washing the actual statement.
What Trump actually said on his propaganda site:
Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
plz1to politics •Iran says U.S did not rescue downed missing pilot and took damage to their aircraft.English13·4 days agoWhy would the US send a C130 transport into enemy airspace to rescue a single person? I get the blackhawk part, but not that. Doubt activated.
plz1to A Boring Dystopia•'No on-site doctor': Dental student died in ICU overseen by remote 'tele-health' physician who pronounced him dead on a video screen, lawsuit saysEnglish147·4 days ago…wow
That timeline reads to me like he was in withdrawal, vomited, and likely aspirated on his own vomit. All due to lack of actual human care in a supposed ICU. I say “supposed”, because that shit shouldn’t even be legal for tele-health in the first place.
Marketing be like “this service pairs expert remote monitoring with skilled bedside care” and I translate that bullshit as “we farm monitoring jobs to cheaper labor markets and they watch people die, on Zoom”.
That article reads like a ChatGPT summary, though I’m not sure if that’s partially due to translation from German or not.
plz1to World News@lemmy.ml•Is USA really going to leave Iran, or is it just Strategy to buy more time?English4·4 days agoThe US doesn’t “bring freedom” and then leave after.
At least Iran gets an Infrastructure Week…

plz1to No Stupid Questions•Will an American remake of Squid Game be bad or better than the original?English1·5 days agoThe only Korean-to-American remake I can think of off-hand is Oldboy. The remake was OK but it was a far cry from being even a shadow of the original.
plz1to Linux@programming.dev•Debian Project Leader Addresses New Age Verification LawsEnglish92·5 days agoEh, more like they are having a lawyer help determine whether they comply or not (to avoid being sued/held liable for non-compliance).
The owners get a cut either way. The real question is why are these “well timed” bets not being investigated by the SEC as insider trading? It’s either unlicensed/illegal gambling, or it’s securities trading. It can’t be neither, and it seems like the grey area is the only reason this company is allowed to exist.
