It's insane that a country which suffered so much under a fascist dictatorship would want to return fascists to power.

I was thinking it was just a right wing, anti-immigrant politician, not an actual Nazi. Then I went to check.. holy hell.

Hopefully, examination of the wreckage will yield valuable information about the cause of the failure and help future designs of deep-sea submersibles.

Shadow banning.. one of the most Orwellian moderation tools ever.

As a Canadian I'm proud of my fellow countrymen for helping and accepting refugees. Although most arrive here with nothing, studies have shown they benefit our society in the long run. They contribute massively to our economy and enrich our culture. They overcome daunting obstacles and become productive members of society, and they make Canada a better, fairer and more inclusive place

The cruise line is concerned about upsetting their passengers, that is all.

Lemmy is more than worth it just for the lack of "he gets us" ads alone.

I think that everyone involved in the search already assumed it was an implosion. The sub lost comms and navigation simultaneously which strongly suggested a catastrophic event.

Turkey won't allow military ships to pass the Bosporus in any direction while there's a war on. This prevents Russia from reinforcing their Black Sea fleet but also prevents Western navies from entering.

It's a result of compassion fatigue. When the first dead migrant children washed up on the Greek coast on people were appalled and transfixed. But the next month there were more dead bodies, and then more. Eventually people stop caring.

I'm old enough to remember "Live Aid". When Bob Geldof got up on stage and said we were going to end world hunger people really believed it was possible. Since then there have been dozens more famines in Ethiopia, and the deaths run to the tens of millions. And now no-one mentions them.

Shadow banning is Orwellian . something you might expect from the CCP instead of a supposedly progressive online forum. If you're going to ban someone at least have the decency to let them know they are banned.

Absolutely no way in hell that a plane carrying Putin would be broadcasting ADSB

Remembering back to a time when killing three people was a big fucking deal.

I'm just waiting for the class action suit for back pay.

Both Russia and Ukraine have been using Soviet-era cluster bombs. Ukraine has asked America to supply dual-purpose improved conventional munitions (DPICM), a class of cluster munition that could be fired from howitzers or from the himarsrocket launchers that Ukraine has been receiving for around a year. They have the added benefit of fewer duds so that risk to future civilian populations is reduced.

This is what the voting system is for .. upvoted comments become more visible. Downvoted comments disappear. The war inflames people in both sides .. yesterday a Russian missile killed 11 civilians. So it's understandable people will react like this. But I'd far prefer reading these kinds of comments than have some kind of behavior code. If they introduced that in a forum I'd be out very quickly.

Nope. Only thing I get is a headache when I don't have any coffee

User caps might be a good way to decentralize and ensure that we don't end up with just a few mega-instances. If there were a page showing available instances with percent of max users then people could use that when selecting.

If it were a Bible or a Torah that was burned we wouldn't be having this conversation now because it wouldn't have even made the news. There is only one major religion that reacts violently to incidents like this. I think that's the point OP was making and it's a valid one.

Turkiye doesn't care about a second cold war. Erdogan is using this as leverage to try and force Sweden to get tougher on Kurdish militants. In other words Turkiye cares about Turkiye and nothing more (which is fine .. most countries do that).
