many women choose fields that they feel directly help people or society even if the paychecks are skimpy. But this doesn't mean they are necessarily taking on lots of debt.

They probably are, because you need a fucking master's to be a social worker.

You only need the equivalent of a 2 year degree to be a nurse, but that's also a shitty job. The nurses I know were considering quitting because the hospitals weren't protecting them, and they were getting attacked by patients. So then if they want to do something else, it's back to school.

It's capitalism and greed enabled by idiot masses, simple as.

They keep making changes because people are stupid and "new" equates with "good".

Most people are too stupid and/or ignorant (mostly both) to understand that AI makes slop.

Even Mozilla hired a CEO it didn't need, to help it do more business? Which didn't happen, instead it turned out to turn off users and lead to a war about the ramifications of giving him money when we found out what he does with the way too much money he was handed. So then they got another one who is equally worthless and wants to AI all the things and also gets paid way too much.

Firefox was really, really good in its early days, when the mission was about being light and fast. But they started ignoring users and also long-standing bugs very early on and the enshittification has proceeded ever since.

Those skinny scroll bars piss me off at least as much as they do you, BTW. You can barely even fucking see them in Edge. In Firefox you can see them OK, but actually using them is a nightmare. The easy fix only works on Windows, too, you have to manually edit config files on Linux. It's hard to not see that as an attack on Linux.

The 'killer app' will be a smaller lighter (and safest) solid state battery with a range over 500 miles Thats when adoption will take off to get the people that are hesitant to switch

Nah.

All that's required is that EVs be cheap. A 300-mile range is sufficient. When the purchase price of a car with a 300-mile range is at or only slightly above the purchase price of a comparable ICEV, EVs sales will explode because they're cheaper to operate and maintain. All of the range anxiety and concerns about fires (which are silly, since gasoline vehicles are a lot more prone to burning) will inhibit a few people, for a little while, but pretty soon they'll all have friends and relatives who are driving EVs and happy about it, and they'll start making the switch, too.

It's all about the benjamins.

Submission + - Namecheap takes down domain hosting video archives of Israeli war crimes (neosmart.net)

Devar writes: Namecheap.com, the popular domain name and webhosting platform, has taken over the Genocide.live domain name, which was home to a publicly accessible archive of over 16,000 videos documenting alleged Israeli war crimes, the vast majority of which were recorded since the onset of the war on Gaza in late 2023. The archive, formerly known as TikTokGenocide, was previously submitted as “evidence on the State of Israel’s acts of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza” by the South African UN delegation to the United Nations Security Council in February of 2025 and is also included in ongoing court proceedings of the International Court of Justice case South Africa (et. al.) v. Israel.
