keesrif@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Paris court convicts actor Depardieu of sexual assault, imposes suspended sentenceEnglish8·2 months agoI’m saddened by the combination of “he hasn’t understood he did something wrong” and “suspended sentence”. To me, the latter implies that the convicted already has paid their debt to society for their actions, while the former says otherwise
Elton John had one of those. I think it even blew smoke for some reason!
I dont have a current one, but my old Xtorm power bank was great quality, and in retrospect definitely worth the price. I don’t know if they still have it, but the magnetic storage of the matching cable was a brilliant piece of design.

keesrif@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New AnalysisEnglish26·4 months agoOn a quick read, I didn’t see the struck motorcycles listed. Last I heard, a few years ago, was that this mainly affected motorcycles with two rear lights that are spaced apart and fairly low to the ground. I believe this is mostly true for Harleys.
The theory I recall was that this rear light configuration made the Tesla assume it was looking (remember, only cameras without depth data) at a car that was further down the road - and acceleration was safe as a result. It miscategorised the motorcycle so badly that it misjudged it’s position entirely.
I don’t know where they’re made, but I’ve had good experiences with the Decathlon 15-20 euro sunglasses. Polarised at that price is a rarity! (I tend to lose/scratch/run into something with my sunnies on a yearly basis)

It might be a positive to a lot of people, but I don’t think it belongs in uplifting news. It’s a place (at least for me) to get away from all the news about death and terror across the globe
Regardless of their opinions, I don’t think a person’s death should be considered uplifting news
“Huge row erupts” […] “However, this is no surprise as we knew they had XY chromosomes already” is quite a 180, especially for such a short text. Also, is their body really our collective business?
keesrif@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•CEO 'Brought To Tears' And Praises Employee For Returning To Work Two Days After Giving Birth; Gets Slammed OnlineEnglish1871·1 year agoI am surprised it’s called “America’s celebrated work ethic” - from my (Dutch) perspective, it’s notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

keesrif@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Woman killed by her two XL bully dogs at home in east LondonEnglish22·1 year agoThe article did mention them as “registered”, so I don’t think this applies.

keesrif@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problemEnglish4·2 years agoI’m wondering if it’s tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don’t remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.
I have deep respect for the integrity of that interviewer, who saw the situation for what it was and denied the man a podium for such spiteful remarks.
