A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The war thunder forums are going to go HARD for the next 4 years.

Oh, come on.

Like who here hasn't had the Secretary of Defense text you their entire war plans, including personnel, weapon systems, time, and place around lunchtime?

Do I need the /s?

A fine DUI hire.

The highest-ranked person I've received classified intel from is the Secretary of the Interior. I must not be important enough. :(

To people with self awareness, a sense of shame and at least a bit of integrity it sure would be!

Congratulations, the US of A, you War Thundered yourself.

Yeah looking back this is going to get its own chapter at least, if not its own fucking section in non-fiction / history / American history

This is one of the most insane things I've ever read

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 22 points 1 month ago

Holy fuck this is deranged

"👊🇺🇸🔥" to committing war crimes, Americae delenda est.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago

Shouldn't it be America delenda est? I thought it's nominative

Is there a way around the pay wall?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Firefox browser, and click immersive reader/simplified view icon next to url. No more paywall

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't realize Firefox could do that! Been using it for a year now lol. Very cool. Thank you!

Did you find the settings? I can't see it in the FF phone app.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I hadn't tried it on mobile but I'm not seeing the settings for it either. I might be blind

[–] sqgl@beehaw.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks for looking

When a "reporter" supports genocide but not leaks about genocide.
