You don't die during interrogation with regular breaks for food, water, sleep etc. You die during torture

If we were to be devils advocates for a second here.. if you knew that the terrorists that you're trying to wipe out would steal any fuel you send in, but everyone keeps telling you to do it anyway, would you send 9000 litres and resupply your adversary or would you send a few hundred litres and record what happens to make a point?

Yeah but that isn't because of the LCD touchscreen console and software locked seat heating

It's gone so far beyond retribution for that attack

websites that serve users in the EU need to allow you to decline cookies, not just tell you about the fact they use them. this website is actually breaking EU privacy law, it's definitely not what a European user would consider protective

Or it was on and some people didn't listen

You wouldn't have your sentence increased from a fine to a prison sentence for trying to appeal against it though. Let's not pretend that the legal system in Dubai and UK are similar

So a user issue 2.50 to buy a gold, then the receiver can cash out 1.00. So Reddit aims to make 1.50 for every gold awarded

Absolute scam

and then wait for the baggage at the other end? no thanks! carry on luggage I get to walk straight out no waiting

How much could a banana cost? 10 dollars?

And in 2024, Spotify will stop paying out songs which get less than 1000 streams in a year. Which means for me, as an artist in the early stages of my career, I am going to get paid nothing. I could get over 1000 streams on all my songs in total, but still get paid nothing. I could get 999 streams on a song one year and 999 streams on it the next year… and still get paid nothing.

As the author states in the previous paragraph, Spotify pays 0.003c per stream. I don't think the author has done the maths. 1000 streams equals 3c. He's complaining over not getting paid 3c as if that will fund his career

The Windsors hide behind a technicality. The crown corporation is rich, not the family.

I get that 5sec delay for the official YouTube app weirdly enough

I mean that's exactly what the driver would do, I'm not sure why this is controversial

Plenty of places have bunkers, for civilians to hide in during air raids or missile attacks. Switzerland and Finland have bunkers everywhere. That's not the same as a command and control military installation

That's just swapping one problem for another, and I say that as a Linux user

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly, the devs changed tact and this was already fixed 2 weeks ago

Since his reign began in 2012, Xi Jinping’s endless purges have removed millions of officials — from top-ranked Communist Party “tigers” down to lowly bureaucratic “flies,” to use Xi’s evocative terminology.

Millions of officials? This must be a typo?

Sounds like the want to ensure access to chips for missiles, and don't get cut off like Russia was

And if one side wants to continue the shooting and bombing? Then you can't even agree to a ceasefire. And that's the issue we have

and the vast majority of Linux Devs will just continue building what they were building before, and still complain how windows users dont migrate to Linux (cough usability cough)

Wait. Your one works fine and sooner rather than later there will be the steam deck 2. Better to upgrade to that!

India should be doing something about this. Why should the rest of the world be the ones to solve everyone else's shit all the time?

Best comment I've seen so far on Lemmy. Great info

Yeah it can cause disruption, I agree. However it should preferably cause disruption for the people you have a problem with. Or simply by using public space which is equally theirs.

Making headlines by defacing historical monuments and art isn't really getting the public on their side. I'm left wing, most of the people I engage with are, and I've yet to meet someone in real life who thinks what Just stop oil are doing is helpful

Both of you are great examples of why beehaw is thinking about defederating. Please try to be polite, as per the rules of this instance.

Hard disagree. Everyone in the UK HATES these people. To the point at which the government has been able to pass new laws limiting right to protest.

Logseq is very very similar to obsidian but is FOSS.

I've read a lot of disturbing stuff on the internet but those descriptions of what the monkeys endured made me feel really uncomfortable

Try the magazine 'Delayed gratification'

It's a current affairs magazine, but where the 'current' is delayed by 3-6 months, so they can write a proper analysis and not a live feed of minute updates

They asked for an app for their phone, you suggested setting up a home server and hosting an application on it, all to just send a notification every 30 mins

That's not particularly helpful

That applies for most things tbh

Advertisers have my preferences and buying and watching habits, my DNA is.. my DNA. That's another whole level

The issue here is if you'd need to prove where your data came from. So the default should be public unless you can prove the source of all the training data
