Of course, we need to believe and support the unknown random 1 day old user called “telavivgirlexpat” that posted 3 posts all centered around her dual citizenship.

People having a different point of view than you do on the best way to solve a complex and decades long conflict? The nerve!
Jesus Christ dude… What is your fucking problem.
You’re talking as if they personally strangled babies, even though you have no idea about their actual views and beliefs
Don’t forget to tip the tax man
Charging the battery for a moped is not nearly as demanding as charging the battery for a car.
I’m not entirely sure, but I believe that Vietnam is one of those countries where most people get around on a moped, and also one of those countries that has already been shifting towards electrifying their moped fleet. If that modal share doesn’t change they might not need major infrastructural investment in order to strengthen the grid.
Edit: Battery swapping stations are also quite common for mopeds in countries like Taiwan. Those can be trickle charged rather than fast-charged.
Lobbying in itself is not the problem. Potential corruption and bribery are the problem.
Lobbying is a group of people coming together to voice their interests and/or concerns to their representatives.
That group could be a group of individuals or a business. A business lobbying the government could be as innocent as them informing the government that proposed legislation would make their business uncompetitive, leading to a potential loss of jobs and/or tax revenue.
That said… I don’t particularly trust that Amazon’s lobbying efforts are all that innocent
I’m a bit baffled by his hostile response. All I said is that I host and pay for my own server.
Nowhere did I claim that I host YouTube videos on that server, or that it is open to the public. I host that server for personal use, and for me and a few friends of mine. At most there is going to be two people connecting to it at once.
I have looked into hosting a peertube instance, but I’ve not really gotten around to figuring out how to set that all up.
Not op, but I pay for my own server, domain and IP (though it is not a static one). And I’ve donated to some of the fediverse platforms that I use, like lemmy.world.
I’m not sure what you are trying to get at?
While I would normally agree that labeling a protest group as terrorists would be government overreach, I’m not sure if that is true for Palestine Action. Their protests have more similarity with terrorist actions than I would be comfortable with

Particularly the last bullet point in that article is a big one
In June 2025, the group carried out one of its most provocative actions to date: infiltrating RAF Brize Norton, the UK’s largest airbase. Activists used electric scooters to breach security and vandalised military aircraft with red paint.
You can’t break into a military base, vandalize property, and expect the government not to do anything about that.
I’m all for pro-Palestinian protests and standing with Palestine, but this is not it.

From the article:
Finland’s newly elected government has declared that open-source solutions and open standards must now be prioritized in all public software procurement. That means a gradual but clear shift away from Microsoft wherever open alternatives are suitable.
This transition is more than philosophical—it’s about resilience. With native auditing, flexible APIs, and local control, Finland is making cloud computing security a built-in part of public infrastructure rather than an afterthought.
God… the AI-sloppiness of that paragraph is so strong…
Finland’s embrace of open standards goes back to JUHTA guidelines in 2009, but the 2025 government programme turns recommendations into law. From Q1 2025 every central-government RFP must justify any deviation from open-source options—a reversal of the burden of proof that effectively dethrones proprietary incumbents.

Its one of those multi-page list articles.

There is also some signs that the list might be AI generated, but I am not 100% certain about that.
Literal bi-erasure…
Edit: Darn… the writers made the same joke
My closest supermarket is 400m away, and the next supermarket over is 1.1km. I walk there daily, sometimes multiple times a day. 3km is quite far and I would not consider that walking distance.
It’s certainly possible to walk that distance once every (couple of) months, if I did not have my bike available for whatever reason? But I would consider regularly walking 40 minutes one way every other day to be far too much. That distance is cycling distance, not walking distance.
On a side-note. Did you just say that the bus arrives only once every four hours? My lord… It might as well basically not exist at that point.
Pro: It’s radical and cool and you get to shoot your gun! Pew! Pew!
Con: You occasionally have cases of innocent minorities getting shot by racists
The “racist” between quotes in the headline just means that that one word is a direct quote from someone or something, wheas the rest of the headline is paraphrased. In this case it’s a direct quote from a coroner’s inquest by Judge Armitage.
I’m not a fan of this style of quoting, since writing singular words between quotes could easily also be read as insincerity or sarcasm. But it seems to be pretty common in English language media.
Edit: Judge Armitage also writes that this police officer being racist isn’t just incidental, but rather that the police station he is working at apparently has a work-place culture that has normalised racism (as per the article)
My server has also not been liking the heat over the past month
Though in my case it’s because drive 3 is sitting in a slot that is possibly not getting enough airflow. It’s consistently running a bit hotter than the other drives in the system.
I really should get around to moving it to a different slot.
For context, before people jump to conclusions:
Russia is not party to this landmine treaty, and Ukraine having to adhere to this treaty is essentially forcing them to fight against someone who plays dirty while having their arm tied around their back.
Other countries that have announced that they will be withdrawing from the Ottowa Treaty are: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (Coincidentally all bordering Russia or Belarus)
It is currently unknown whether the two are related:
The shooting appears to have stemmed from some sort of dispute, though the motive is unclear and no arrests have been made at this point in the investigation, WABC reported.
It’s very unfortunate regardless. Especially considering the two people shot were teenagers, one of them apparently shot in the head.
I hope it wasn’t a hate crime, but I fear that it might have been

I’m literally not even trying to argue with you. I’m merely calling you an asshole for behaving like an asshole.
