I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @[email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.


Flood the zone, but with bombs


For anyone else that is interested in what came of him:
Xu was expelled from the CCP and sentenced to five years in prison. He lived the rest of his life exiled from Beijing and died in 2021 at the age of 85.


Yes, unfortunately




I’m not so sure about Mars settlements being a productive thing to spend resources on, but I do agree that unemployment can cause grave social and political issues.
It’s very easy to blame “others” and this time it’s going to be “the foreigners”.


The largest political part in the last election is the populist PVV. It’s lead by “Geert Wilders” who blames everything on foreigners. The 3rd largest party, the VVD has gone full populist (more than before) now after their previous leader Mark Rutte left, although they’ve hit a bit of a snag after their new leader called a famous Dutch singer of being a antisemitist because he refused to sing at a place with Zionist posters. This backfired because this is somehow their only recent scandal that people care about.
It’s a mess, the coalition hasn’t been able to get much done due to infighting and election season is coming up, so there are going to be a bunch of right-wing populist proposals purely for optics just like this one.


I don’t get the criticism. They either get the food through or the press following her is going to film the Israeli navy blocking the food from entering the shore.
Why did you watermark your screenshot?


What do you mean?
They put the image in the text body, that’s why the preview doesn’t work right either


Be aware that the claim that they let this happen on purpose in this article is mainly based on the fact that patrols were cancelled.
According to The Dissident, Shitrit said during his testimony that at 5.20am on 7 October:
We were playing on the phone and suddenly a strange message came up from my deputy commander, … and what he says on the radio is something like this: ‘I don’t know why, but an order was given that there would be no patrols in the (Gaza) fence until 9am
And sure enough, an hour later, at 6.30am, suddenly sirens.
I don’t feel this is as conclusive as they present it to be.

Yeah, I remember it being feverdream sludge when I first tried it
I can attest to that. It’s remarkable on how few distros updating through Discover actually works reliably. I always update through the terminal because at least that works. I’ve noticed this issue on Kubuntu (apt), Debian (apt), and OpenSUSE (zypper). I think these issues are related to the PackageKit integration.
The screenshot isn’t real though


Considering your budget of 200 GBP / 250USD, I would recommend laptops meant for school. There are plenty of refurbished laptops out there with a decent battery condition and overall state for sale around €100. Most of these machines aren’t more powerful than most entry level Chromebooks and often have a Pentium or Celeron CPU, but that’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make. Another advantage is that they usually come with a touch screen and decent display, which is nice if you’re out and about.


sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess
Last time I checked most were starting at 700+


That’s the point. Dumping US bonds on the market lowers their price, forcing the US to renegotiate at a higher interest rate.
When aquaman is the only buyer, the US is fucked due to their enormous debt.
The Russian attack was planned months in advance, they had mobilised hundreds of thousands of troops near the border in October the year before. It would be stupid to wait before the actual invasion to start sending weapons when the US saw it coming months in advance.
The US weren’t going to launch an attack on Russia through Ukraine.
