Tldr; I’m also against intellectual monopolies

Europe’s producing more rounds and providing more artillery than Murica. When the Yanks provide some old junk they appraise it at 50X the value then bemoan doing god’s work while leaking Intel.

Europe and Ukraine are flexing. They’ve decimated Russia’s military without any European boots on the ground (although they should be in the fight imo, it devalues Ukrainians to let them be the only one taking casualties for defending Europe). Then again, in 20 years, Ukraine will be telling Europe where and how to manage their militaries.

Ukraine was the powerhouse for arms manufacturing during the Soviet Era and they’re quickly retaking this position.

The cost of war:

10X-15X the battlefield deaths occur after the war is over. When the well cared for soldiers come home in a proper mental state. 10 times! Sustainable?

Broskys about to stroke out from the stress. His own body will kill him if not someone else. When you’re responsible for a cumulative 1.5-2.5 million deaths, you’re not a person people are sad to let go.

Economy tanking, losing the battle, 1.5 million dead Russians, he’s not the mafia-fluencer he was in his youth. Lavrov is a fat slob, dude can’t even stop his own drooling.

Modern warfare is entirely non beneficial to huge land masses. Try playing air defense swap-a-roo when the next missile or drone is 1k km away.

Also if Europe decides to ram his ass, they will, that will be his excuse to wind down the war, but to get to that tipping point, is so stress inducing, no amount of drugs will help. The drugs induce a spiral.

He probably just shoots himself in the head. Or Mossad 2.o gets him. Or the ulcer. Or the Botox from his fluffy little cheeks seeps into his brain. Or the windows… darn Russian windows

Ah nice, haha can’t believe I couldn’t find that! Thank you :)

There a good noob guide someplace? How do people build communities that gain traction on Lemmy?

Can you setup a new community on Voyager app?

Any short term “forced” cohesion they build internally is now actually sowing the seeds of deeper long term fractures.

The Israelis are building long term insecurities for their nation state. Imagine a world in the which the USA isn’t the global hegemonic power. Imagine American for one reason or another decide they can no longer support Israel?

Building peaceful relations with diverse neighbors is the foundation for long term security. Genocidal mania in an attempt to broaden the borders, is the breeding ground for future terror.

Israel is laying the groundwork, the building blocks, for long term insecurity. Not security.

If one thinks extremism equates to well adjusted humans, economically thriving and flourishing societies I’ve got another populist candidate to sell you.

"If you’ve noticed Anna’s Archive being down or glitchy this past week, here’s what’s probably going on behind the scenes.

Big academic publishers like Elsevier and Springer Nature have been stepping up legal actions against shadow libraries, including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, Libgen, and even SLUM (the uptime monitor).

They got a DMCA subpoena from a U.S. federal court that forces Cloudflare—who a lot of these sites use for CDN and protection—to hand over info on who runs these sites.

This is part of their plan to find and go after the people behind these libraries. Cloudflare doesn’t actually host any content, but since they help keep these sites online, targeting them is a way to put pressure on the whole operation.

So if Anna’s Archive has been unstable or offline, this legal pressure is probably why. It’s also a sign the fight over these sites is heating up, and whether the sites stay up depends on how well the people behind them can adapt—like switching domains or infrastructure.

Before the subpoena, publishers also asked Cloudflare to just block the sites, but since that didn’t happen right away, they went for this subpoena to dig deeper.

What does this mean for Anna’s Archive users?

The downtime might be Cloudflare reacting to legal threats or the site operators trying to stay one step ahead.

The people running these projects usually do their best to keep things running, but legal risks cause interruptions.

Honestly, no one knows how long Anna’s Archive will keep going or what shape it’ll take.

But there’s a decent chance it’ll come back in some form—maybe on new domains or setups—to keep offering access while dealing with these legal challenges.

Just wanted to share the scoop so you know it’s not random, but part of a bigger, complicated picture."

How is Anna’s Archive under attack, the mechanics? It seems cloud flare has not actually complied yet- which is why I’m curious what is going on

I agree somewhat in the context of centralization. But the spread of the fediverse is a good thing. If Lemmy grows, alongside decentralization, then it should stay true to its roots.
