Nintendo@lemmy.world•NES – Nintendo Classics – April 2026 Game UpdatesEnglish
23·2 days agoIt still amazes me how many people are perfectly fine subscribing for temporary access to a ROM library.
Edit: It’s not surprising that companies opt for subscription models to boost profitability; it’s just frustrating that rational consumers are progressively less and less able to purchase products at reasonable prices because the average consumer is putting up with it.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tollsEnglish
2·2 days agoWith 20 million barrels of oil going through the straight daily, there’s certainly be plenty of grift to go around if Trump somehow got them to allocate fees to his knockoff UN in the name of ‘peace’.
The amount of grift in the military industrial complex and the value of arms shipments to Israel likely outpaces what he’d realistically get out of Iran. Regardless of the outcome of the war, oil profits and arms shipments are up, and Trump is undoubtedly getting kickbacks from it.

19·2 days agoAll they’d have to do is call it the Trump Peace Tariff and wire him a cut of it and he’d let them set it as high as they want.

News@lemmy.world•Live Updates: White House says reports of Strait of Hormuz closure are false as Iran claims Israel violating ceasefireEnglish
6·3 days agoDidn’t go with the MSNBC or Guardian ones since they linked to live feeds that might change, and several of the other ones that popped up first were right-wing outlets glad to be fed whatever the White House puts in their mouth, so CBC seemed like a good, well-balanced choice.

It’s just gluing together data from random sources it finds with no care for the accuracy or recency of that data; Lemmy has about 38,000 MAU, not 77,000.

News@lemmy.world•As parents seek out ‘vaccine friendly’ clinics, pediatricians worry about eroding trustEnglish
9·4 days agoIf there are no societal roadblocks to prevent anti-vaxx parents raising their children to also be anti-vaxxers, then the cycle of misinformation will only get worse as time progresses.
Regardless, parents should not have the ability to prevent their children from getting vaccinations on the basis of their own unscientific beliefs.

World News@lemmy.world•Russia sending second ship with oil to Cuba amid US blockadeEnglish
92·6 days agoAgreed; Russia is a terrorist state that has committed atrocities in Ukraine, interfered in the affairs and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and denied its own citizens basic human rights.
In this rare instance, however, its foreign policy goal of opposing U.S. foreign policy has the side benefit of disrupting one of Trump’s blatant violations of international law. Not because Russia itself cares for a second about international law, though.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•Ratatan Dev Cancels The Switch VersionEnglish
12·7 days agoGiven that the Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch games, it seems dumb for a 2D indie game likely capable of running on the Switch without compromise to instead target the system with a far smaller install base.

politics @lemmy.world•Hospital visit fuels speculation about Samuel Alito’s future on Supreme CourtEnglish
16·7 days agoThere’s too many conservatives on the court as it is; a moderate conservative in this political landscape is just a regular conservative who would still vote on partisan lines on most issues.
The Republicans deliberately waited out Obama’s term to appoint Gorsuch to the court, so if the Democrats had any backbone whatsoever, they would be entirely justified in doing the same to any Trump appointee if in control of the Senate.

News@lemmy.world•The Feds Say Cutting Fuel With Ethanol Will Bring Down Gas Prices. We're Not Buying ItEnglish
3·8 days agoWith lots of land that could be generating solar power instead. The solution to high oil prices is accelerating electric car adoption and reducing oil dependence, not bandaging the problem for short-term gains.

While I understand the motivation of wanting to support the rights of marginalized groups in society, a term that encompasses all of those groups would be far too unwieldy to be practical or readily recognized.
Solidarity between marginalized groups can be achieved with a term more marketable than an alphabet soup.
