Given how ineffectively they handled the current deportations, we'll all be transported into the incinerator via supervised gas powered F-350s or Cybertrucks if you bought Starlink and spent your internet access praising Musk lol.
I miss the week where Twitter essentially allowed free speech for $15 before they shut it down after everyone immediately clowned on every single corporation and celebrity in existence.
I'm surprised Dodge is trying this considering the thousands of memes of BMW implementing pay to use features on their vehicle ever since they added subscription heated seats.
I don't understand how in the realm of hourly war crimes against humanity, attacking a trade route is seen as a controversial tactic when it's quite a common tactic used by literally every nation with a semblance of an armed forces, for as far back as historically recorded warfare.
Even the USA enforces naval blockades all the time by seizing tankers. You just don't see any bullets fired because no one wants to fight the US navy.
Further, their aggression towards cargo ships is particularly problematic since this is likely to lead to 20+ day shipment delays on supplies of all types which could be vital and also closes off low margin shipments to places which may not have many options.
Israel was notably affected with a port closing due to this exact scenario, but more importantly, it directly affected the trade of Israel's primary military sponsor, the USA.
afaik, no deaths have occurred due to the US spending a tremendous amount of time and money intercepting missiles, and because even the ships that were hit sustained medium damage due to the nature of anti ship missiles usually needing several to sink a ship.
If I understand it correctly, Lemmy has a similar "landed gentry" moderation scheme, where the first to create a community control it. This was easily exploited on other platforms, particularly in regards to astroturfing, censorship, and controlling a narrative.
For lemmy, it's again a federation thing. You just don't see many multiple defederated examples due to the small user count.
It's not the most optimal solution, but it's still miles better than dealing with single instance or single community issues.
They threaten a crap ton to scare devs into not entering court, but tbf I'm pretty sure the guy they got was for actual piracy, and the court ordered the millions in alleged damages to be paid in $40 installments to Nintendo per month for the rest of his life.
Edit:
It was set at 20-30% of his salary so yeah I guess that's still a pretty hefty chunk of change.
Seriously the funniest thing talking to immigrants in the US is them reminiscing about being able to buy high quality produce, food, tools, clothing, gifts, books, etc by walking down the street or taking a bike a few blocks away. Also people daily taking vans, busses, and trains to get to work or school.
Meanwhile our transport setup is so bad, people have successfully marketed ship to your house meal prep boxes which is actually such an insane first world problem when you think about it.
They care more about protecting their IP and public image, not end privacy of users.
They make a big fuss anytime a public request comes up like the FBI a few years ago, but they have zero issue funneling everything into the NSA just like every other Silicon Valley shmuck.
You know how solar eclipse glasses allow you to see the sun surface without any glare by essentially reducing the light by like 50,000 times?
You can also point the glasses at a regular light to see the bulb.
I need the same thing that let's me check really quick if some scrub has their high beams on so I can reflect their blinding light of death back at them because I'm too nice to do the same against morons who threw nuclear bombs into their regular low beam enclosure.
Although I am also very close to buying a rally high beam light array to do the light equivalent of telling people to shut up.
Alternative title: Shill arab states submit alternate proposal to avoid having to be forced to take care of refugees.
Sisi by himself tells you all you need to know about this plan.
EDIT:
Under the plan, Hamas would cede power to an interim administration of political independents until a reformed Palestinian Authority can assume control. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Western-backed authority and an opponent of Hamas, was attending the summit.
Clown behavior. None of these oil rich states would pay for this either, they don't even spend money on their own abused foreign imported labor.
