Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…
As long as NATO stands its ground and member nations uphold their obligations to each other, russia wouldn’t stand a chance.
I feel like all this sowing of doubt that we’re seeing lately is part of a psyop. russia wants NATO members to believe they can’t survive a war, so that they chicken out and don’t support each other. That’s the only scenario where Europe loses.
I don’t get this. To me, Matrix looks a lot like discord. I use Element X, and the UI looks the same. Maybe it doesn’t have all the features yet, but I never used Discord for more than messaging anyway, so I’m not aware what Matrix is lacking comparatively.
As far as I’m aware, there are different apps one can use to access Matrix, just like the case with Lemmy. So if you don’t like the layout of one, why not just choose another?
I mean it’s cool that there’s another option available; diversity might prevent enshittification and offer a backup if one sells out like so many platforms do (discord, reddit, etc.). But to say Matrix isn’t comparable to Discord kinda flies over my head…
Misinformed take. Lukashenko is known to have channeled migrants through Belarus to Central and Western Europe, on russia’s behalf, with the deliberate goal of destabilizing Europe.

And it’s working. How many right-wing populist nutjobs have used the crisis to gain traction for their pro-russia parties?
Many people in Europe, even on the left, acknowledge that an uncontrolled influx of migrants is having a range of detrimental effects. The difference is some people want sensible solutions, and others want to paint with a broad brush while making rabid accusations.
It’s entirely possible to still support refugees while also stymying the flow of a hostile power’s weaponization of displaced people. Dismissing the problem altogether doesn’t do anything but help reactionaries who paint themselves as the only ones willing to address the issue.
Whenever I try raising awareness about kremlin psyops, people make cliché tinfoil hat jokes.
Like, this isn’t some bonkers conspiracy theory. It’s real, it’s well-funded and organized, and it’s been going on for a long time…
New rule: recording someone else without their consent gives them partial ownership of your device: enough that they can rightfully destroy it if they so choose.
What a fucking fascist. He and the entire maga crowd are the only boil that needs to be lanced.
People used to call me a creep whenever I raised concerns about mass surveillance. Like, obviously if I wasn’t okay with that then I must have been planning something nasty, right?
Well this is precisely the scenario I was trying to warn about, and it’s far nastier than anything I could have possibly done, even if that were my intention…
This is the next logical iteration of “if you aren’t doing anything wrong then you have no reason to be concerned with people filming you without your knowledge/consent!”
It was never a good argument, but too many people seemed to believe it and now we’re here…
Only an absolute tool would wear that crap.
Someone really dedicated to finding you could theoretically analyze a series of random points over time and extrapolate the radius and center of the circle, effectively locating your radio
It honestly wouldn’t be that complicated after collecting enough random points
While conveniently forgetting that Rome plagiarized their laws and customs and indeed their entire culture from the Greeks…
Blood and bloody ashes!
That’s interesting, I did not know wild parsnip was a separate plant. We must not have that where I’m from.
And yeah, clearly Ontario is doing something right
Add a fucking spoiler warning, I’m only on book 7!
Fucking damn it! Here I was thinking Taim would turn out to be Demandred. Fuck!
The graph clearly isn’t including deaths of muslims.
Come to think of it, it doesn’t even label who it counts under “battle deaths”…
Interesting, I’ve never heard that. Is that the same plant as wild carrot/Queen Anne’s Lace?
I’ve heard people with Native American ancestry tend to have immunity to poison ivy, but I’m not sure if that’s backed by science.
Also, if you got burned by wild parsnip… that was hemlock, a poisonous lookalike…
Well I haven’t tested this new discovery on many knives, but I’m certain I’ve had the same problem with many different ones over the years. At the very least, they’re all beveled on at least one side…
Damn, how was 2020 six years ago?
