Oh? Do you know details on how it's going to work? All I can find is the BRICS Pay site with a very high level overview. They're talking a big game, but as of now all that seems to be public is just talk.
There are lots of details left to hammer out. This is like an announcement that there will be a committee to commission a study to hire a contractor to change a light bulb. The process will likely take a while and may not complete at all.
Lapce, an IDE written in Rust. It's nice and light compared to most IDE's, so I use it a bit on my aging laptop from 2015. However, it doesn't have the extension ecosystem or polish of my favored IDE, VS Code.
Just take the dive into fish. It used to have a lot of problems with incompatibilities, but that's been less of a problem lately.
I haven't found nushell to be that great as a day-to-day shell simply because it integrates poorly with other Linux commands. But when it comes to data manipulation, it is simply amazing. I'm currently (slowly) working on a plugin to query LDAP. The ldapsearch command uses the LDIF format, which is hard to parse reliably. Producing nushell data structures that don't need fragile parsing would be a boon.
That's exactly what I thought of. Alas, permanently gone dark in protest of Reddit's API changes. Fortunately, we have the power to create it anew! !beholdthemasterrace@lemmy.ml
Yup, a late friend of mine was a lobbyist at the state level for a mental health lobbying group. His daughter has schizophrenia and that was his way to give back in his retirement. Without lobbying, it's hard for politicians to know when there is a problem they need to fix. They have a small staff and they don't just magically know when there is a problem. The problem is when a politician either can't sniff out unethical lobbyists or just doesn't care.
Arrests are done by the police, not the DA, so that issue lies with the police. And as much of the rest of the article pointed out, the number of people who saw the inside of a prison cell for marijuana possession was small.
That reminds me of one interview with a random Israeli, I think a politician. Her attitude toward the US was one of "stop telling us what to do big guy." It was so utterly bizarre to read that. Yeah, don't tell us what to do, but do give us the weapons to do it with! Also, constantly shield us for any consequences from the international community!
She didn't attend Bibi's Congressional political rally (it was mainly for the majority of Israelis who want Bibi gone), which is unusual for her. Then she punctuates her meeting with Bibi with this. Maybe it's just rhetoric. She will need to outline what sorts of consequences she's willing to impose on Israel.
Nuclear Proliferation resulting from Treason Trump’s New World Disorder. Every country and their brother is going to scramble for nuclear weapons now.
This point is very underappreciated in many political corners, including Lemmy. It's taken decades of deft maneuvering, including by otherwise foes, to keep nuclear weapon proliferation under anything close to control. Trump's pull out of the JCPOA was an unforgivable act of self-sabotage by a man with an uneducated, brutish understanding of foreign policy. Likewise with other policies that are meant to ensure that non-nuclear countries don't feel like they need nukes and nuclear countries don't feel like they're in an arms race.
Did you miss the bit where Russia kept harassing Georgia? It was going to invade sooner or later. Russia likes its former imperial conquests to be kept under its thumb.
The August 2008 invasion of Georgia was just the culmination of years of Russian provocations towards Georgia. Georgia's leaders knew Russia was itching for a fight. As for Ukraine, many Ukrainians realized that if they ever adopted a more pro-Western stance then Russia would invade. I've heard one account of Ukrainians fighting in the Georgia-Russia War because "we're next."
They could have waited or tried to make a deal with the new government. They did neither and immediately invaded without making an attempt at an arrangement.
Why did Russia invade Georgia?
Are you trying to get me to say NATO? Because that conflict far predates NATO involvement.
Bullshit. Crimea was invaded mere days after the change of power in 2014, far before anyone of note was seriously talking about Ukraine joining NATO. Support for separatists elsewhere soon followed. It was about Russia exerting a "sphere of influence" that it felt entitled to. The Russian leadership can't seem to get that countries are joining NATO because of Russian imperialism, past and present.
I'm going to say the same thing that I said about the Polish incident. That incident only happened because Russia chose to attack Ukraine in an area directly bordering on another country. Izmail is also right across the border. I'll wait on more dependable sources for an investigation, and I'm certainly not agitating for an escalation on NATO's side. At the same time, if Russia's bombing campaign ultimately results in foreseeable casualties outside of the country, I put the blame on Russia. Ukraine has the right to defend itself.
