Apparently someone got into a debate with a bot in Reddit. Maybe it's not a surprise that the bot was anti-mod, pro-Reddit admin. Make sure you scroll down in the comments to see the second screenshot (it's a screenshot.of the same conversation but in dark mode).
The snail can grow up to eight inches long, and can potentially carry the parasite rat lungworm, which may cause meningitis in humans and animals. The snail should not be handled without gloves because of the meningitis risk....
Sooner or later, we have to realize that these wonderful free things are usually a bubble that eventually pops when they have to start running ads.
Textual data is surprisingly lightweight to host if you keep to core features. Traffic is quite light if you don't bundle half of npm, all the trackers ever and a whole bunch of ads.
A few days ago I saw lemmy.ml publicise the instance specs it was running on, and it was surprisingly sane for the size of the instance.
I myself could easily afford the rent for that instance, and I'm not rich. I've seen bigger (gaming) servers funded by donations from like 12 people. It also has nothing pushing it to produce profit.
Lemmy's fundamentals with regards to tech seem to be great, if not the most feature-rich. It will be fine.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, and other involved bodies of Ukraine continue to take steps towards bringing eleven Ukrainian POWs back home after Hungary had received them from Russia without notifying the Ukrainian government or any international human rights...
Look, with the state the country is in, it's totally possible they actually lost them, or there is no one to answer the requests. Don't underestimate Hungarian governmental incompetence, especially now that the government is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
Though my bet is that they are trying to see what they can get for them, using them as bargaining chips in a quite disgusting way.
It would actually be an incredibly huge boon for the EU to get Ukraine as a member. It would benefit the EU in unique ways while the challenges Ukraine faces are hardly unique within the EU.
It would benefit both Germany's agenda of making the EU's center move a bit east, and France's desire to gain more geopolitical independence. Ukrainian gas would decrease reliance on US and Russian gas even in the short term as pipelines are by and large built already.
There's the catch though, I think the US' interest in a separate UA from the EU, with both depending on the US for either rebuilding or gas and other raw materials. While we are fighting the war against Russia, we will probably be fighting the peace against the US, and I hope Ukraine will prevail together with the EU.
I can see them bogging up international waters if they can make it launchable and recoverable by yachts. Imagine Bezos' fleet will finally get an aircraft carrier.
He says Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and alleged their case is a "political" attack aimed at silencing him.
Does he even know about or have a "side" on Romanian politics, or is this just like a go-to line now? I mean I don't think anyone cares about him on a political level, he's just awful in the general sense.
I guess the idea is that it's bad at hard factual things, where you would expect a machine to be good at, and good at creativity and emotions, where you would expect humans to be undefeatable.
I'm still in the process of moving old saves off my Reddit account and found this gem today. Reddit HQ is coping hardcore, I can't image regular users actually care about this.
Yeah, they can take cheap trips to their home country while being paid in Euros and complaining about the decadence of the culture enabling and tolerating their lifestyle, while they don't tolerate others'.
