Looking forward to the full release. I still have the game installed and backed up, so Ubisoft doesn't get any ideas and forcibly uninstalls it.

Nooo, war with China would be horrible. The chip supply would completely collapse, and then what device will you use to visit NCD?

Wait wait wait, hold your horses. Do you mean to tell me, that the oil industry doesn't care for this protest, or any protest for that matter? I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you. It's almost as if this protest wasn't meant to impress the oil exec-types...

Because that doesn't make the headlines.

Ah yes, let's commit industrial sabotage. That'll go swimmingly!

"They are sensitive and they are completely covered in prehistoric markings which remain to be fully studied and any surface damage to the stones is hugely concerning.

Bullshit. There is next to no other historic site that has been studied in greater detail. If no scientist up until now has created a detailed map of what is to find on those stones, then frankly, it's their own fault.

If anything, they should be concerned about acidic rain caused by air pollution. But you don't hear much about that, now do you?

Let's be real here. What could climate protesters do that wouldn't get them bad attention? History has shown: Nothing. There is nothing they could do that wouldn't get them bad attention. In Germany, they even got cussed out for blocking private jets.
Face it: The powerful do not fear retaliation from the masses if they vilify climate protesters. The protesters cannot win the PR battle. So all they have left is publicity stunts. And as far as publicity stunts go, plastering stones with water-soluble paint is about as tame as it gets.

It's either this or ineffectual protests that get swept under the rug and ignored. You should be happy that their protest is purely cosmetic too.

Just Stop Oil said the orange powder paint was cornflour and it would "wash away with rain".

These dang protesters and their... flips script attention seeking! Can't they just do nothin like the rest of us?

Tech-savvy people tend to trend left. And with the reddit exodus, only those that cared about API access and privacy left.

Germany sent 4, while having had a total of 12. The US can do more, if it wants to.

Do not forget that you are also the very entity that hands out the currency you hold your debt in.

Getting inspired by Iran's support for the Houthis I see.

Shows that there are enough people so desparate to be lead, that they'll follow anyone, as long as they are confident and unapologetic. And then there are the grifters that'll do anything for clout and money. Trump supporters have shown themselves to be naive and easily manipilated, so those grifters flock to pander to them.

I was under the impression that the link interpretation happens on Lemmy's side. The lemmy servers will interpret the mention the best way they can. And I'd suspect that the best way to interpret the @main mention is to prioritize local communities.

But what happens if you tag @main? Will you end up tagging all instances' main communities?

It waw McGregor. And while the explosion was spectacular, it happened on the test stand, so not much damage was done actually.

Mbin. Compatible with both Lemmy and Mastodon. Con: Mbin is even more beta software than Lemmy is. Lots of missing QoL.

Now we have empirical evidence that Putin likes Xi more than Macron.

Ah, but have you considerd trauma? You might regret your choice for the rest of your life.
