I’m a Finn, meaning that part of my ancestors arrived along the arrow ending in Mongolia on this map. (And then, after we had already spread westwards, other people with different looking eyes arrived to the areas where the ancestors of Finns had once lived)
Talk about a long way round!
Oh! This was unexpected. Who came second? What was their program like? Is a general secretary of KCNA allowed to have a second term?
I wish there was a way to efficiently spread knowledge inside NK that if soldiers surrender, they will be allowed to return to SK or NK according to their own wish. That would at the same time dramatically increase North Koreans’ willingness to help the Russia in the war, and just as dramatically reduce the North-Korean leadership’s motivation to send any soldiers to that war.
A lot of this was about neurodivergent people. How they had become what they are because of malice by fairies, not by happening to be born with a certain neurology that is likely to be even beneficial.
We are talking about a “reporter” who was put in the sanctions list because he has been working as a propagandist for the Russian Federation. He has also been writing about Gaza, but his main job has not been delivering real news, but help the Russia in its war against Ukraine.
He was not sanctioned for his Gaza journalism. (Although yes, as @smoothoperator@lemmy.world said, it is worrying that the text about his sanctioning mentions Palestine the way it does!)
Please specify how you jumped from this:
how close financial and organisational connections with Russian state propaganda entities and actors, and shares deep structural ties, including interlinkages between, and rotation of, individual personnel with Russian state media organisations.RED has used its media platforms – often publishing under “redstreamnet” or “thered.stream” – to systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst its predominantly German target audience
to this:
report on the fascists of EU and their fascist practices
The text clearly states that the “reporter” has been working as distributor of propaganda for a fascist regime. Do you really think that a person actively helping a fascist country somehow is an anti-fascist?
To mention an edge case not directly related to the case @sibbo@sopuli.xyz here…
If in some other situation a car is parked on the rescue vehicles’ driveway (pelastustie) on the yard of some house, not on public land, then if the house – basically its isännöitsijä – does not react quickly to your request to free the driveway, the house is in breach of pelastuslaki, point 8 of 106 §.
Yeah.
Impossible conveying a message of sarcasm if people cannot hear my voice.
That’s why there’s no sarcasm in the Internet.
This might be about the languages where the only “numbers” they have are “zero”, “one”, “a few” and “many”.
If a conversation was held in English, then for the speaker “two” and “four” are synonyms.
Eipä se hirveästi merkitse, syntyykö keskustelua vai ei. Se kun ei ole täällä vaatimus näkyvyyden saamiselle.
Mut, siihen haluaisin rohkaista, että jos joku asia yllättää tai tekstin oletukset viittaa johonkin tietoon jota sulla ei ole, kysyt! Kysymiseen kun ei tarvitse yhtään mitään perehtymystä 🙂
It’s also fun that if the driver exhausts all of their 90 days out of 180 while working, that means they are not allowed to travel within EU for a while!
And if they make a tourist trip, they are not allowed to work so much. But yeah, employing truck drivers with EU passports is a simple and good solution to the problem, so it’s not a huge thing. Also, if the British truck drivers lose their job because of not having an EU passport, they can move to an EU country and work for a truck company there. That way they get a stay permit, allowing them to spend 365 days out of 365 in EU if they so wish!
Doesn’t the Forumverse already do this by default?
Lemm.ee was closed a long time ago, but all of its communities still kind of exist, because every instance that had federated with its communities, have full copies of those communities. For example:
Those three are the same community, but also not. Now that lemm.ee is not around to do the federation for that community, no data gets transmitted between the three versions of that community I linked above. Just look at the number of upvotes: They are different behind each link, because there’s nothing telling lemmy.world that someone on slrpnk.net had upvoted something there. You could even add new posts in any lemm.ee communities that are not locked! Those posts would only be visible for people on your own instance, though.
In the case of a permanently dead instance this is something of a problem, actually, because people might not understand that they are posting in a community that will never again federate.
But, for example in the case of the downtime of slrpnk.net, people were still able to use the communities. They were able to upvote and downvote, they were able to write comments, and they were able to make new posts.
All that content was stuck in each individual instance, so if I from nord.pub wrote a comment there, a user on lemmy.world would not see it. But, when slrpnk came back up, all instances sent all of the updates to it, and it then federated then onwards to other instances, joining all the added comments into one.
The whole Forumverse functions through mirroring. Each instance has a full copy of any community its users have subscribed to. If the home instance of the community goes down, the copy will continue to function.
So, to write all this in the nutshell: While slrpnk.net was down, people using other instances were still able to use its communities without even noticing the server was down! Therefore, I would argue that what you are asking for, is already taking place. It does not work very well if slrpnk.net ever goes down for good, but as long as it eventually climbs back up after disappearing for a while, this solution works very well.
And also: If lemm.ee somehow ever comes back online, all the upvotes behind those three links will be federated to all other instances, and then any of those three links will show the same amount of upvotes.
Misrepresent what?
Did she know back then what was coming?
It’s impossible that she would somehow not have known what was coming.
I suppose at some point people might be figuring out that Putin is not the same as Russia and that they are better off with a different set of institutions.
I have a feeling they won’t figure that out. I was talking with a person here in Finland just a few months ago, and they said “Putin is not a good president, but all the other options we have are even worse”.
…which is an absolutely bonkers thing to say. Who on Earth would be worse for the Russia than Putin is? Nobody else would have elected to continue this war once it was clear that Kremlin had fucked up. Even if they would have been bad, there’s almost no way they could have been worse than what Putin is doing now.
But still, that’s what the otherwise completely adequate-seeming Russian told me. The inability to see how bad Putin really is, is extremely deep in that people. The thought of Putin as the father figure of the whole country is so ingrained in the Russians’ heads that it will be only the generation after the next one that will be clear of it. And then the Russia can maybe start developing into a third-word country at least. And then maybe even back to being a second-world country.
The past for years experts have been talking about this going to happen around 2025 or at latest 2026. Because it has been inevitable, it has made sense factoring that into the strategies.
Many reporters have written about it in a way that has made it look different, but already in late 2022, experts who actually know the subject were talking about mid-to-late 2025 as the limit for the economy of the Russia. They did it get wrong by about half a year, but overall, I’d say the prediction was very accurate.
What was assumed that since the impending economical crash of the Russia was visible already in 2022, the Russia would have drawn the conclusions and left Ukraine. And therefore, by all logic, the economical crash of the Russia should have ended the war already in 2022 or 2023. But instead, the Russia decided to go for a suicide instead, because that’s what its people decided they want.
It’s because the scale of those US wars has been one percent of the war the Russia is now waging.
USA has not tried having a war with a peer. If it did. The result for its economy would be very similar.
Yes. The level design is awesome. Every level plays almost like a separate game of its own, with its own individual logic for how to win. Makes your brain go BSOD.
A Šahed style drone costs in the ballpark of 10 000 €. A naval drone costs a bit more, but not by much. Still in the ballpark of five numbers in the price tag.
So, the costs for destroying the ship were around one tenth of a percent of the price of the destroyed ship.
Not bad!
That is actually pretty much what happened.
The language they speak in Madagascar is a Polynesian language. Polynesia is north of Australia. Apparently the people in mainland Africa had not come to sail far enough to the sea in order to notice there’s a big-ass island to inhabit. Then they got visitors going “hi, wanna join us on our new place?”
Since nobody knows how the Madagascarians came there, the arrow is drawn the way it is.
