Is Trump *trying* to lose the midterms? in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

No, he won't try to "cancel" the elections. First he's trying to rig them through gerrymandering and voters suppression.
If that's not enough, he'll make crazy claims of frauds at different places, and will try to reverse some results.

But I can guarantee you that if none of that work, you'll have a showdown. He knows well what awaits him would the GOP lose and he's getting impeached. He won't accept the results.

Just note that he's currently using the war to kick out generals he deems not loyal enough.

To win elections, you need a candidate who brings voters from their side. Trump brought the MAGA, an inconsistent alliance of all kind of deplorables. But they were all enthusiastic about him. Neither Clinton nor Harris had that, neither did Biden by the way. Their main platform was to be not Trump, and the rest was the status quo.

At some point, the Dems need a candidate that voters actually support rather than pick as the least bad choice. So what will it be this time? Yet another meh-candidate backed by the "good" oligarchs or a candidate people actually want in power?

Why not. I mean: they're all suddenly cool about raping children, so who knows if there's any limit.

Target Warns That If Its AI Shopping Agent Makes an Expensive Mistake, You'll Have to Pay for It in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

There were laws about IPs and copyright, the kind that would prevent any corp from parsing basically the whole internet and use it without any restriction or consideration for the content creators. Do you remember what happened to those?

Based on the terms and conditions, my expectation is it will randomly order a bunch of expensive items you didn't want on your behalf whenever a quarter in on track to miss the target numbers.

Maybe less traffic so with comparable reserves, you last longer?

Quebec is the most anti-Elon Musk province in Canada in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tesla sales in Quebec dropped by 85% in 2025 vs 2024, vs a drop of 67% for the whole Canada.

The whole EV market dropped by half. Tesla took the biggest hit by far.

Trump drops Easter Sunday f-bomb in new threat to Iran in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

In one word: neoliberalism. It inevitably and inexorably leads to this.

Decades of defunding education, maximizing corporate profit at the expense of the workers at the bottom, making life worse and worse for commoners.

You end up with a large group of poorly educated, humiliated angry voters. And they'll get fooled easy by the most populist guy who "say it like it is" and offe simplistic solutions and scapegoats.

That's why it's happening. And US is not a single case. They just have a much higher power of nuisance.

And if a few on his side hesitate, he'll just let them in on the next insider's move and they'll fall back in line.

That's the endgame, isn't it? Not only is it going to be forced on us with promises that it will be our assistant we can delegate things to, but we will also we accountable for its calamities for "not having monitored it good enough".

Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC in c/technology@lemmy.world

Because it is. The question is why a good product needs to be forced on users.

Reading material for learners? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm using Duolingo to improve my Mandarin and learn to read, and to learn Spanish.

Does anyone have some recommendations of texts for learners to practice reading?

My wife suggested me to use kids books, but I'd like a more motivating content than teddy bear's adventures...

Match Madness only (sh.itjust.works)
 

So it's been a while now since the leaderboard's challenge is Match Madness every day except on Saturday, when it's the Ramp Up.

I don't know if it's just me but that's getting me pretty disengaged. I quickly hit my limit on the Match Madness, then it has no interest to me.

Previously, I would use these challenges on a daily basis, as a way to review past lessons. Damned, I would use them over and over to score high in the leaderboard too.

Now I've completely lost interest in the leaderboard, but worse: I'm wondering if I'm moving back by lack of practice on past lessons vocabulary and grammar.

I don't feel like going through some past lessons and pick some randomly. How do you make sure you do pick randomly?

Am I the only one who thinks that "all Match Madness" thing is a regression?
