  • So, did we forget to post a link or is Lemmy really at the point that a random unofficial image is a source of information?

    I searched it and found a Verge article that appears to be the source of this image.

    What a nothing article though. The logo design I am pretty sure is a Verge artistic interpretation, with the actual changes being updating UI elements to share a similar language with the Copilot app, which just so happens to look like every other modern interface and very similar to the base Windows 11 design. But I guess “company tries new UI on new product and then expands UI to other products” is not QUITE the ragebait headline that people want. The only AI change here is a ChatGPT/Copilot-esque newtab search bar.

    Reading this non-post and it’s comments is identical to boomers on Facebook airing their pre-baked grievances after reading a Fox news headline.











  • I’m gonna take a safe guess that London has generally much smaller streets and cars than the majority of America, so it would be safer yes. Outside of the cities and a couple of streets in smaller town centres, most cars are likely to be going 50km/h or more down a road with spotty or missing sidewalks and there’s probably a 50% chance of it being an F150. Now I have had good luck with drivers here slowing for me, but it only takes one time to be permanently crippled… So is it “that” bad? Depends what your “that” is, but it is worse yes.



  • I hung around anti-SJW groups in 2016 and I’m assuming not much has changed.

    Basically ANTIFA is painted as a violent group that claims normal things as “fascist”, same as the “leftists” call “normal people” “nazis”. People in these right-leaning circles get shown videos of protests after they go violent and innocent people / property starts getting damaged and are told it’s ANTIFA (I don’t know how much actually is ANTIFA, I don’t follow this stuff anymore). The name of the organisation does not matter because the right does not believe the things they are protesting against to be fascist, thus ANTIFA becomes a lie in their mind.

    Looking at it from a leftist perspective, think of tactics like all the bills named the “Protect Our Children” act (or some such) that tries to strip rights away under an innocent-sounding name. Right-wing sees ANTIFA the same as you would see these law names: a deception to calm the masses.
