One of the nice things about Lemmy is that you actually get replies under your posts/comments and it's not just repeating phrases to earn as much karma as possible. There's always a sweet spot of engagement in online communities and I feel like we're pretty close to where it begins. Other sites just make you feel like you're shouting into the void.

That's not the place that Navalny's team published the photos of. This one was more like a dacha. His Palace is even closer to Ukraine, but way too expensive to be demolished like that. He has been there only a few times since it was built.

Probably to prevent the bad optics of Ukraine blowing it up with their new long range drones. His residence was about 600km away from the frontline, well within reach.

Alien Isolation was very close to being the perfect Horror game for me and a true love letter to the first movie. Can't wait for the sequel.

There is a difference between conservatism and being a threat to the democratic order. Germany has conservative parties that are perfectly valid, it's just that the AfD is not one of them.

Not sure how it's handled in Japan but I know this is how it works in Germany and France, for both WW1 and WW2.

Interesting to see that China is ranking fairly low on the index and Vietnam so high. Really didn't expect that.

But hey, we might get a decent CoD or Battlefield game out of it in a couple of years.

He said they had told him that although it was a hate crime, it was "unlikely" officers could pursue it further.

That's messed up.

Why? Doesn't look like there's any explanation for this move.

Well except for the entire population of Hexbear and the 'Grad...

That car has the worst tint job I've ever seen

This is really what it boils down to. But with Trump there is nothing to promote. The only way they can win is by ruining the reputation of their opponent to try to make them look worse.

A convicted felon wants to take the guy that has children executed for listening to music to a baseball game. What a dream team.

"Many such cases", "bigly", "very, very large brain", "good genes", "This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever" and "and some, I assume, are good people" have involuntary become part of my vocabulary.

Can't be, driving it voids the warranty

I genuinely cannot tell if this man is smiling or plotting a murder in this picture

Is this him or the brain worm speaking?

That's pretty cool. Square Enix is one of the better AAA-publishers when it comes to Linux support, they had native ports for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Hitman and a bunch more.

I'll do that right after I store a fork, a toy car and some random bottle caps in my personal safe.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the creation of this, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next one. It's crazy how much nicer it was compared to the one from that other site. I placed a little doodle on the first day not expecting it to survive the night because it was in the path of another large piece. But when I checked the next day, someone had actually moved it to the side. That never would've happened on r/place.

I cannot overstate how good it feels to have the person who I always thought was a major asshole turn out to be an even bigger asshole.

It's not the second one, it's the same one that had been heavily damaged by a Storm Shadow missile in 2023 and had been in dry dock undergoing repairs ever since. This hit probably finished the job for good.

I really would've never expected one of Putins closest allies to be involved in corruption somehow. Baffling.

Maybe you just need to be a psychopath to hoard such massive amounts of wealth in the first place.

These guys will have a better time in Ukrainian captivity than 99% of the population at home...

Baltic and North seas, or the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea

None of these are contested territories. Chinese vessels go there all the time and nobody really cares.

Threads doesn't really have a track record when it comes to things like this, so I don't blame them for enforcing their terms and conditions. The difference here is that Twitter has allowed such things to be posted time and time again but won't allow it in this specific case. It's selective enforcement.

Nah, the dog is white. He just got a slap on the wrist.

That wasn't really a thing in medieval times. I'm afraid an axe will have to do.

Not really comparable because the illegal content is hosted and distributed through his servers. Which is why most sites are moderated to a degree. This dude basically said "fuck off" whenever takedowns were issued. It's hardly a surprise that he's been arrested.

Isn't "Open"AI already a for-profit company in everything except their name?

Imagine going from a 3 day special operation to nuking yourself

Why are you listening to the youtube recommendations? Why are you looking at the recommendations? What are you expecting there in the first place?

There was a time when the YouTube recommendations were actually pretty good. I discovered a number of great artists just from suggested songs and playlists. That no longer seems to be the case though, my recommendations have been garbage for more than 5 years at this point.

Grandma’s killer has escaped punishment for his crime

I think a drone will deliver his punishment soon enough.

According to Dmitri from WarTranslated, around 80 Wagner troops have been killed and another 15 captured. Among the casualties is also the Russian Telegram blogger GreyZone.
