The contempt Proton is showing for their users is astounding. They not only think people will fall for this transparent act of damage control, but they also have the gall to shift blame onto the users.

Go read the comments. Obvious bots are posting praise and many critical comments are being deleted by the moderators.

This is an interesting one, which I just found by googling "Jucika Halloween" to see if there were any thematic strips to post today. I learned:

1. Hungary didn't start celebrating Halloween until the early 2000s, so there wouldn't have been any official Halloween comics made.
2. The rights to the Jucika comics are kind of in limbo right now. There were no heirs, and nobody seems to know who owns it. It doesn't become public domain until 2040, but that hasn't stopped some artists from trying. The credited artist for this one is "KBT Studios", and they seem to intend to pick up the mantle, unofficially for now.

As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

In Israel's election, Arab parties won a record 19 seats in the 120-seat Knesset — up from 10 seats in the previous election.

The historic shift was driven by a surge in turnout among Arab voters.

Some voters say the result has exceeded their "wildest dreams" but others doubt it will lead to meaningful change.

Legal challenges to Donald Trump’s proposed memorial arch are mounting even as its construction is imminent

The legal challenges to Donald Trump’s proposed memorial arch are mounting, with the District of Columbia and Virginia suing in federal court on Saturday as the administration says construction could begin as early as next week.

There are now three lawsuits calling for a halt to potential work on a monument that would rise 250ft (76 meters) on a patch of grass off the bridge that spans the Potomac River, connecting the city with the Arlington national cemetery. That would make the arch 100ft taller (30 meters) than the Statue of Liberty is from its base to the top of the torch.

The US district judge Tanya Chutkan is already considering issuing an order to halt the project until the original lawsuit against the Trump administration by three Vietnam war veterans and an architectural historian is resolved. She held a hearing on Friday but did not immediately act, though she said she would move expeditiously.

All their responses are generated, no conscience there, just AI. "Another brick in the wall" hits stronger than ever now.

Just simple blocks with holes drilled. They actually come in handy and could be good gift ideas.
