Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 9th November 2025


in reply to Soyweiser

I think he is stating that people don't have an invisible eternal Gender like a Christian thinks people have an invisible eternal Soul. I am a materialist so I don't think either exists. Shazeer goes on to complain about "sterilizing children" which is a red flag of transphobia (ie. people who post a lot about that tend to have a screw loose).

There is no need to give transphobes the benefit of the doubt really.

You don't believe in gender? I mean you're wrong IMO but we're cool. But if someone says the words "I don't believe have an attribute called gender" as part of a bunch of totally obvious anti-trans dog-whistles when butting into a discussion about transgender day of remembrance? Now it's a problem.

The True Story of U.S. Economic Sanctions Against Cuba


By Salim Lamrani
Nov 1, 2025

Unanimously condemned by the international community every year since 1992, this state of siege gravely affects the well-being of the entire Cuban population—particularly the most vulnerable—and remains the principal obstacle to the country’s development. From March 2024 to February 2025, U.S. economic sanctions cost Cuba $7.55 billion—a 50 percent increase compared to the previous year—representing more than $20 million per day and nearly $15,000 per minute.

That amount is equivalent to the electricity consumption of Cuba’s 10 million inhabitants for six years. With the same sum, Cuba could fill every household’s grocery basket for six years, cover the nation’s medical needs for 22 years, or guarantee public transportation for the next six decades.

The True Story of U.S. Economic Sanctions Against Cuba




Three killed in latest US strike on boat in Caribbean


Three men have been killed in a US strike on an alleged drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said.

It is the latest in a series of attacks on vessels the Trump administration says are being used to smuggle drugs into the US.

Since they began in September, experts have questioned the legality of the strikes under international law, which have drawn strong criticism from Latin American leaders whose citizens have been targeted.

Tip #763

Copy web page titles from the Tab Bar.

To copy the web page title in Vivaldi:

  1. Double-click on the tab or right-click on the tab and select “Rename” from the menu.
  2. While the title is selected, press CTRL / ⌘ + C on your keyboard.


Vivaldi browser window with one of the open tab's title texts highlighted while in renaming mode. A box with the text "CTRL / ⌘ + C" is above the browser window.

I've had a few issues with this feature, I keep accidentally activating it. Is there a way to turn it off or make it so you have to middle click twice instead or something of that sort?


Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats


Google announced the end of support for early Nest Thermostats in a support document earlier this year that largely flew under the radar. As of October 25, first and second generation units released in 2011 and 2012, respectively, will be unpaired and removed from the Google Nest or Google Home app.

Users will no longer be able to control their thermostats remotely via their smartphone, receive notifications, or change settings from a mobile device. End-of-support also disables third-party assistants and other cloud-based features including multi-device Eco mode and Nest Protect connectivity.

Thoughts on Drip Irrigation?


Hi All - I'm thinking about getting a drip irrigation system for my garden and was curious if anyone here has tried one. Anything that has worked well, or not so much? Brand recommendations? Rain Bird and Hunter have come up in my searches so far. Other considerations a beginner wouldn't think about? I'm in the US, so I also need it to be able to be shipped here.
in reply to dominotheory

Lots of excellent tutorials at dripdepot.com. They are a bit more expensive than others, but they stand behind what they sell. Twice they have replaced things I purchased that didn't meet expectations without asking me to return the defective items.

A drip system running off an existing hose bibb is simple to install and doesn't require expensive tools.

Mandatory minimum child pornography sentences unconstitutional, Supreme Court rules


I want to point out that the issue of Child Porn sentences aside, shout out to those who believe Danielle Smith will use the Notwithstanding Clause over and over again. Take a look at this quote:

In a 5-4 decision, the top court said although the sentences contribute to the objectives of denunciation and deterrence, they also remove judges’ discretion to impose sentences other than imprisonment when appropriate.

Conservative politicians swiftly denounced the ruling.

In a social media post, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called the judgment “outrageous” and urged the federal government to overturn it using the Constitution’s notwithstanding clause.

Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation


cross-posted from: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/56676015

Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we're not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

Ahhh yeah I can see the broken image when I view the thread via your website. I'm guessing the media server your server uses has a glitched copy of that image in its cache.

If the cache gets refreshed at some point it would hopefully store an unglitched copy.

It's a very recent post though so it may be some time before the cache is refreshed.

Releases September 11, 2026 for anyone wondering, after Supergirl (June 2026).

A villain origin story like this is exciting. In many ways it gets to be what all those Sony Spider-man without Spider-Man movies wanted to be... except we get to include ~~Spider-Man~~ Batman at some point.
