I think it’s important to understand that, no matter how big these numbers get, Russia will not stop. Putin will sacrifice every man, woman, and child in both counties to maintain his fantasy of “winning” this war. The only thing that will stop him will be the inability to continue.

Yeah, that’s the official name, but I’ll stick to the APC designation. It carries troops. It’s armored. It does not have a tank-level main gun. It’s an armored personnel carrier. A good one, but an APC, none the less.

For anyone who doesn’t get the significance, these crazy cats took out a modern main battle tank with an armored personnel carrier. That’s like if the Bismark was sunk by the Titanic.

As an ethnic Pole, I feel like it’s important for me to call this a jerk move. Like the ukrainians have it too easy?

That does not look like it’ll pop right out with a little bondo.

Of course they will lose users. They will lose the users that would otherwise get them sued. Pretty sure they are okay with the trade-off.

Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it’s happening faster in China, and they’re less developed to start with.

What’s that? It’s on somebody’s property. Someone is paying for power, connectivity, and air conditioning.

It hides the true cost of the meal and allows both the employee and the employer to avoid taxes on this part of the “salary”

People will do batshit crazy shit if they think God wants them to.

It’s funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.

I think that which 250k migrated will eventually end up making quite a significant dent. It isn’t the technophobic lurkers that make up the Lemmy early adopters.

Maybe we’ll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.

Agreed. As others have pointed out, voting helps to elevate higher quality posts (even if it doesn’t always work that way), but karma takes that imperfect process to its ridiculous extreme.

Not sure if this was an argument for karma, but it sounds like an argument for avoiding contraversy and trying to fit in This is why everyone on Reddit appears to have the same opinion. I much prefer a diversity of opinions, and no penalty for speaking one’s mind (while treating each other with decency).

Karma makes sense, in theory, but in practice, it just punishes anyone who diverges from the herd.

“Pcmasterrace” did not start with Reddit.

We are guests.

PHP is as secure as it’s developer makes it. There are excellent frameworks out there that make security simple. And then, there is WordPress.

Funny that 2 days seems too long ago.
