Wtf is this stupid piece of shit bot doing?

It's a waste of space normally, but it's this is ridiculous 🙄

Harassing Protesting politicians that are enabling your genocide does not make being racist toward Palestinians okay. This is just anti-Palestinian racism.

...you don’t see the hypocrisy in laughing when it happens to republicans but being angry when it happens to democrats?!

Hypocrisy would require that I had some say in the anti-democratic system that we're all subjected to, but I don't, so when anti-democratic shit hurts fascists, I take it as a fortunate side-effect to an otherwise fucked up system.

But why are you so angry about left-leaning third parties then?

I'm not angry about left-leaning third-parties? I just wish more of the third-parties would put in the necessary work in down-ballot local elections. People like Jill Stein just show up in the presidential race to grift and detract from the total number of votes that the Democrats would get. I would encourage third-party candidates to in down-ballot elections, where they can actually win and make a difference. I vote for those candidates when they run in elections I can vote in. But Jill Stein and Cornell West are clearly just grifting in a race they'll never win, and in doing so will take away some amount of potentially-Democratic voters.

You have every right to vote for whomever you want, but don't delude yourself into thinking that voting third-party in a US presidential race is anything more than a virtue signal.

Would you shed a tear for when the spoiler effect happens to hurt fascists? I wouldn't ¯(ツ)/¯

It is good when the most fascistic US political party occasionally suffers from the anti-democratic electoral system in the US, yes.

It's unfortunate that actual left-leaning third-parties in the US contribute to the spoiler effect, and therefore rightfully catch flack for it, but I won't stop myself from celebrating the fact that the Libertarian party ruins things for the Republicans.

Actual serious third-parties should be pushing hard in local and state elections, where they actually have some shot of winning. And props to the Green candidates and other nominally left-leaning politicians that actually do that. But Jill Stein and Cornell West only rearing their heads every four years to syphon off votes from the Democrats in presidential races that they will never win, without putting in the work in the local elections, is counter-productive and only aids the right-wing in gaining power.

Sorry, but the spoiler effect is real. And, yes, it's good when it the Republican party suffers from it, and bad when Democrats suffer from it.

Or is it ok when someone does it to the OTHER party, just not yours?

It's good when good things happen, yes. Libertarian candidates do spoil Republican votes and that's a good thing 😄

Thank you, Jo Jorgensen, for narrowly preventing a Republican victory in Michigan in the 2020 presidential race 🫡

Fuck sites that do that.

Here you go:

    
Ukraine carried out one of the largest-ever drone attacks against Moscow on Wednesday, as Kyiv continues to launch counter-offensives on Russian soil.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it destroyed 45 Ukrainian drones overnight, of which 11were over Moscow, according to a Google-translated update on Telegram.

“This is one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow with drones ever. We continue to monitor the situation,” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a separate Google-translated Telegram post, after assessing the strikes resulted in “no damage or casualties at the site of the fall of the debris” in earlier updates reporting the offensives.

Some of the drones were neutralized over Podolsk, a nearby city south of Moscow, the official added. Citing Russian aviation watchdog Rosaviatsiya, state news agency Tass said in a Google-translated report that airports in the Moscow region resumed regular operations after restrictions were briefly introduced during the night.

CNBC has reached out to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs for comment.

The done offensive took place just as Russian President Vladimir Putin carried out his first trip in 13 years to Chechnya to inspect local troops and volunteers prepared to participate in the war against Kyiv, according to a Google-translated Kremlin readout.

Ukraine weathered its own barrage of aerial attacks, with the country’s air force saying it destroyed 50 out of 69 Russian-launched drones overnight, in its latest Google-translated report.

CNBC could not independently verify either set of developments on the ground.

The tides of the Russia-Ukraine war, largely carried out through artillery and drone advances, changed earlier this month, when Ukraine pivoted into the counter-offensive with a surprise cross-border incursion on Russian territory.

In the more than two years since Russia’s February 2022 invasion, Kiyv has notched less frequent military attempts against the capital of Moscow, instead focusing its firepower on the airfields and oil facilities of the world’s second-largest oil exporter. The counter-offensive has also raised questions of a potential impact on flows through the Soviet-era Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod pipeline that deliveries gas from west Siberia through the Sudzha hub in the Kursk region, before crossing into Ukraine and flowing toward Slovakia.

The incursion has likewise further slimmed the odds of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Russia has previously conditioned its willingness to join the talks table on its ability to retain four Ukrainian territories it illegally annexed since its invasion. Kyiv has repeatedly said it will not concede territory.

Moscow is now unlikely to fall in the “negotiation trap” following Ukraine’s attack on the Kursk region, according to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

“No more negotiations until the enemy is completely defeated!” he urged in a Google-translated Telegram post.


  

Nothing more democratic than protesting. Surely, the Democrats won't have an issue with that...

That would certainly be preferable. I don't think we should be advertising.

Beyond that, it would be much better if there were a way to not have the bot be counted as a comment. Comments are what humans do. They're meant to be interacted with. I can't interact with a bot, other than rolling my eyes at it.

Remove it please. It's an obtrusive advertisement for Ground News.

It's incredibly annoying to see comments: 1, only to click the post to see an ad. It makes me less inclined to interact with Lemmy at all. It's the same kind of crap that ruined Reddit.

Try deploying the Bitwarden self-hosted stack (official, not Vaultwarden) with Podman and then you'll see that Podman's inter-container DNS isn't up-to-par with Docker's.

Podman is not a perfect replacement for Docker and often times gets in the way.

Google has a disproportionate and overwhelming say in AOSP. What do you think Lineage OS is based on?

When Google makes API changes to Android, it hurts AOSP too. Can the devs try to maintain the legacy API on their own? Sure, but it's extra effort, so it's usually not something you can count on.

I find these stupid bots to be a nuisance primarily because they make every Lemmy post appear to have comments, only to click them and see this worthless advertisement.

Many of us left Reddit because of advertisements. Why would we tolerate them here?

Does he even like women??

Oddly enough: SELinux and file ownership for bind mounts were pretty hellish for me, even with :z. Granted, that's definitely on me (skill issue) for having misconfigured SELinux policies, but docker got out of my way.

Other than that, my gripes about podman have to do with inter-container DNS communication and having to creating systemd services to manage simple container stacks. That last one is a major thorn in my side because the podman CLI used to have a simple command to generate the systemd file for you, but they're getting rid of it.

I run containers locally for basic dev work and, on occasion, deploy simple self-hosted services. In both of those cases, I find Podman to be an unnecessary hindrance where Docker isn't.

docker preinstalled

This is actually perfect. My main issue with EL distros is that they tend to push podman, which is not a 1-to-1 replacement for docker. This may end up being my default for non-immutable OS installs.

This is more usable than browsh, in my experience, but has the very unfortunate downside of being based on Chromium (🤢)

It's missing trackpads, which is a pretty big oversight for a device like that.

Servo barely works right now. Ladybird somewhat works. Neither are ready for daily use.

You can also do this on any keyboard compatible with QMK firmware.
