The new Brownshirts. I thought we put this crap down 80 years ago. My grandfather is probably turning in his grave.


TCL accused of selling quantum dot TVs without actual quantum dots

Would such a scam really be worth it?

What's the point of lying about it? The kind of people who buy TCL TVs wouldn't care anyway. They are bought for being the cheapest large rectangle you can hang on a wall.

Since I just transferred to this instance from another, I thought I should reintroduce myself:

I am a cinematic dark ambient and experimental electronic musician in Northern Colorado USA.

In addition to those genres, I also love a large variety of others, including post-punk, slowcore, shoegaze, neo-folk, all varieties of metal, etc.

In addition to music, I am a Linux/computer geek, and overall tech-nerd.

C’est quand même très perturbant cette affaire… Après Macron qui nomme un représentant du 5eme parti aux élections comme premier ministre, ce dernier — très dépendant des députés — se les mets à dos d’entrée de jeu ?! C’est pour la caméra cachée ou quoi ?

Le parti arrivé en tête aux élections se retrouvent écarté et c'est la droite qui est nommée, de nouveau, au pouvoir. Notre démocratie va très mal..............



What an #idiot.

A #VeryLargeFaucet?

Gavin “Newscum”?

“Revert” the water?

Austria has trees that are “much more flammable“?

What the what?

I think #Trump might be referring to either the Central Valley Project or the State Water Project but neither have a “giant faucet” the size of a building 🤣 I mean, maybe he can get work on Drunk History or as a #clown?
