1 in 10 flights taking off from UK are private jets
  • The stat is as a percentage, so that could be explained from there being less normal flights rather than a spike of private jet use

  • Two protesters burn Koran in front of Iraqi embassy in Denmark
  • the reason they don’t is because they know they won’t get away with it

    What do you mean by "won't get away with it"? Also the article doesn't mention anything about atheism, only 'anti-Muslim', which are obviously two very different things. I'm fairly certain the reason why you see less Bible burnings than Quran burnings in the west is because the west is predominantly Christian, so of course there would be less burning of the Bible, not because of the notion of some atheists of 'getting away with it'.

  • And until I discovered what a creep carp is. A liar and bullshit artist.

    Can you elaborate on this?

  • 'FUCK SPEZ': Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest
  • It's not federated but there is pixelcanvas.io, which is like r/place but infinite and not controlled by Reddit

  • Do you consider the term "rice" or "ricer" to be racist?
  • Taking away the context doesn’t make it any less racist.

    How doesn't it? I would argue most people who use the term 'rice' aren't even aware of its origins.

  • What is you backup tool of choice?
  • I just found out about syncthing yesterday and it really is superb, it's so easy to use even crossplatform. unison is another syncing tool that I like, I find it better for bidirectional syncing

  • Where do you get your news from?
  • Ah I remember watching him years ago, good to know he's still around. Although it looks like he does more internet drama videos rather than real-world news

  • Meta confirms it is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN
  • Probably by just looking at the IP address, either due to the IP addresses of the VPNs being public or by the fact that many users are accessing the service through a single IP address

  • Perhaps you don't personally, but it's very likely your government and companies you interact with do

  • Where do you get your news from?
  • Fascinating! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing I was hoping for.

  • Where do you get your news from?
  • I just tried Google News, but it seems like their interface is designed for mobile even though I'm on a desktop. Like, it doesn't use most of the screen space. But I'm sure on mobile it's a more pleasant experience

    What is your go-to Linux distro and why?

  • Meta's Threads has had its daily users down 20% since Saturday and user time spent on the platform is down 50% ~ CNBC
  • I don't think this is really surprising, I'm sure many people went on it just to check it out when they heard it released. What would be interesting is to see how these stats compare to comparable services after their releases

  • Mission Center: A rust clone of the Windows Task Manager
  • Paint is especially surprising to miss, but yeah. I tried a few different image editing programs on Linux but they were all either too limited in scope or were too complex to quickly learn.
