I’m glad that for all our differences we can all at least share some common ground in laughing at the Libertarian party

Some instances blocked ImgBB because it was being used to spread child porn a while back
Well you see, the UN’s logo is actually a top-down view of Earth. Apparently. Because they can’t keep a conspiracy secret without leaving some clues in the open for kicks.
They said they plan to vote for Biden this year
I think you’ve misunderstood the comment above. They’re asking why snapshotting DRM-protected content would be a problem if everything stays local, implying that since it’s a problem it does not stay local
I don’t feel comfortable putting that much important stuff in one thing. If I lose my phone or my wallet, the other can do a lot to help cover for it until I get a replacement
A few reasons.
Using any of them in war is far too likely to lead to escalation. Someome on the receiving end of it doesn’t necessarily know what they’ve been attacked with, and seeing that the other side is using chemical weapons will retaliate with their own more serious ones. Civilians are unlikely to bring their own nerve gas to protests, so this isn’t a concern in civilian contexts.
Killing your enemy is usually necessary in war, but torturing them isn’t. As such, using weapons that are only intended to cause pain is just wanton cruelty rather than simply a means to the ends of winning the war. Police theoretically don’t want to be killing or permanently disabling people, so again this isn’t applicable to civilian contexts.
They are wildly uncontrollable. The carveouts for civilian use of tear gas and the like in the Geneva conventions require them to disperse quickly because of this.
It’s not unfounded. To be clear I don’t think that police should be allowed to use such weapons, but there are reasons that it’s considered more serious in warfare.
Seems like average Boris stuff, unfortunately. Particularly unfortunate since he was Prime Minister for a while.
Russia isn’t necessarily fine with it just because they started it. After all, they seized Crimea back in 2014 and got away with it without a fight. Russia also made a push to capture Ukraine’s government in a matter of days at the start, which they wouldn’t have done if they didn’t think there was a chance of it succeeding. It’s very possible that Russia expected this to be over quickly and based its decision on that expectation
Better late than never. Even if it reaches a point that Ukraine can’t win, the costlier it would be to force Ukraine to surrender then the better Ukraine’s chances in negotiations are
The hybrit process that some Swedish steelmakers (including SSAB - not a typo, it isn’t Saab) are using looks promising. They’ve been testing it with Volvo and are apparently making it part of Volvo’s regular process in 2026
Here is you agreeing with a comment that includes the quote “How are they different from republicans? How is biden different than trump?” just yesterday

Well my username is a bird, so I’m going to say it’s just a severe case of self-loathing
I like the future that this suggests
That would be a bit silly given that it’s not a union of republics and there’s nothing soviet or socialist about Russia
I agree with you, but to be fair to the Guardian this is an opinion piece by someone who only writes for them once every couple of months
The article says that the Ministry has suggested students use other programs, so it sounds like it’s just something students often use rather than something that’s actually required. I’ve not been in school for a long time, but I am doing a distance learning course and when I had to submit some written stuff I definitely found it more comfortable to type it up in an actual word processor than the web platform that only showed about a paragraph at a time, so I did that and then copied it to the web platform.
