Indeed. In continental Europe, there’s religious parties like there’s no tomorrow. I’m like, WTF happened to separation of church and state?

Ton@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP rules by £1.92 a weekEnglish6·2 months agoWhy are Anglo-Saxon ‘conservative’ governments hell-bent on punishing the poor to the fullest extent. They no longer hide the strategy that cruelty is the point! And the general public seems to like it, and votes for it in ever greater numbers, until it happens to themselves, of course.
Can someone explain this to a person who grew up in a Rhineland model based society that is now fast adopting the Anglo Saxon model (the Netherlands).
Ton@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Bernie Sanders asks progressives to run for office, holding zoom meeting with thousands next Wednesday to discuss how161·2 months agoBernie is what we in Europe would call in the 1980s a social democrat. Definitely the sort of politician you’d like to have if you’re trying to keep the fabric of your society in one piece.
With hate high on the menu these days, I’m pretty sure that when given a real chance in 2015, he would have beaten Donold.
Ton@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Irish woman living in US for decades detained by immigration officialsEnglish0·2 months agoIt would be hilarious to see this regime shooting itself in both feet before shooting itself in the head, if this weren’t some route to a full-blown ‘eMerGENcy’ which they can then use to deactivate democracy all together.
Ton@lemmy.worldto DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz@feddit.org•Sebastian Kurz's Traum zerplatzt: OMV will alle Wasserstoff-Tankstellen zusperren5·2 months agoIn Germany they actually did try hydrogen trains. And some of the might still be running. But they decided a few years back that it’s just that; a wet dream. And they will no longer invest in them, it just doesn’t make sense.

Ton@lemmy.worldto DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz@feddit.org•Sebastian Kurz's Traum zerplatzt: OMV will alle Wasserstoff-Tankstellen zusperren6·2 months agoAh, hydrogen. The wet dream of the fossil fuel industry. I’d say, good riddance and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Ton@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people0·2 months agoPretty sure the staggering amount of people who voted for Trump have never heard of P2025 before the election, as FoxNews pretty much never spoke about it.
Until after the election; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heritage-president-project-2025-liberals-doge-takes-ax-bureaucracy
Ton@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump team reveals lack of expertise – and patience – as it threatens to abandon Ukraine peace talks6·2 months agoIs anyone surprised?
I’m at the point where serious media should just put all the lies and empty promises of this regime in a single section, titled ‘From Trump world’. And use the serious sections to dissect the lies and analyse (IN SIMPLE TERMS) what’s really going on.
That’s quite easy to explain; they are mostly sexually frustrated after all.

I cannot emphasise this enough, please show your parents, your children or cousins how to turn it off. It makes your viewing experience so much better.
Ton@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The approximate route of Russian missiles and drones during this morning's attack, aimed for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.16·8 months agoNice targets they got there. Too bad no one wants to escalate, hence it’s always escalating.
Ton@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Satellite images show expansion at Soviet-era bioweapons lab in Russia47·8 months agoRemember the claim that the West was operating biolabs in Ukraine?
Every accusation is an admission…
Ton@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump calls MSNBC host a ‘bimbo’ after she makes case for voting against him3·9 months agoMeanwhile, he gets another shot at being in the news cycle. This is the mofo’s M.O.: say outrageous shit, end up in the news cycle for another 24 hours, so that your opponent is not in the news…
Ton@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Unless you've got a better plan in the next 6 months, grab a fucking bucket2·1 year agoPlease don’t! Look up what happened in 2000, setting the stage for unprecedented misery under the Bush and Cheney years. All because some people thought Gore wasn’t their ideal candidate.

Ton@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux on the desktop breaks 4% for the first time on StatcounterEnglish115·1 year agoWill probably get flamed to death for this, but… a few months ago I’ve decided to try Ubuntu on an older Intel MacBook Pro, just to try it out after many attempts in the past. (Mac user here)
Then I tried to use the trackpad. After 30 minutes of fiddling I gave up. Say what you want about Apple’s UX choices, esthetics and business practices. But boy do they know how to produce a computer and UX combo that fits like a glove.
In comparison, the Ubuntu experience was like eating nails.
And before y’all go off; I would like to switch. I’m getting tired of Apple’s business practices.
Turn off your viewing history!
Thank me later.
