Big nah.

The soviets, however, definitely did. 2-3 times or so.

I tried to believe this was satire, and it downvoted wrongly, but checking @ms.lane comments made me sure it’s not. Boo.

How could step one be anything besides the store taking a 2€ minus on their spreadsheet, instead of stopping flights. So many ways to hide a ceramic knife instead of a stupid pair of scissors uselessly incapable of doing anything on a plane.

All of these “security theatre” measures are just pure incompetence institutionalized due to 911, that managed to do nothing, just some security equipment manufacturers rich, and plane clients quite annoyed.

Hell, derailing a train would cause more human life / infrastructure damage, than a potential “guy has sharp object and cant do shit to the plane piloting” shit boomers are somehow still, in their old age, surprisingly afraid of.

Cars, trains, trucks all move freely, but somehow planes are terrified of extremely remote chance of bad actors trying to make a 911-esque political statement? (Because it’s about the fanfare not actual damage, mooost buildings are much less secure than people would think)

I think it is worth reading the actual discussion on github. Having votes public and having them visibly public on the web interface has compelling reasons. Namely enshittification hardening.

It’s also quite natural to stand by your words (or vote). I personally don’t think people should feel like the internet is their anonimized alt character of life. And if they need/want that, just do a throwaway account and hard vpn. Otherwise NSA (or equivalents) track us anyway.

Yes

That, and they can potentially dismantle staging areas for planes and other infrastructure (in this case gas pipeline).

Not sure why comments are so polarized.

This is what happens with a population well aware that they are being sent to the meat grinder a la Im Westen nichts Neues.

I guess everyone can agree they don’t want to die pointlessly.

War exhaustion is high, and now it’s a war of attrition.

Stable yes, but no protection from bitrot, and the journal of ext4 is the band aid, instead of a cow fs like zfs or btrfs.

btrfs with its send/receive (incremental fs-level backups) is already stable enough for mostly everything (just has some issues with raid 5/6), and is much more performant than zfs. And it is also in the linux kernel tree (quite hugely useful). Of course, if more zfs-like functionality is what you look for.

Ah, that is quite interesting… I didnt know about this. However, you should note that it was a recurring idea by many countries (whether Madagascar, or some other region), due to the Jewish diaspora which was culturally incongruent.

The nazis were instead fanatical, and aside from directly targeting jews with extreme hate, attacks, the “final solution” was drawn up and relentlessly pursued throughout the war. I havent read up whether its idea origins are somewhere in 1935-1939, but I would assume so.

I swear, definitions of words are just seemingly lost in this age.

Not really…

Not a doctor. But while probably true that some poisons could cause very visible damage to some specific organs (liver, kidneys), but if you know what you are looking for, you could most likely find it in fat tissue, hair, nails.

I feel making extra cash on the side for mister important army officer “because is hard life to live” is most likely.

Sorry, but as Eastern European, we begged for NATO membership because of constant (>200 years) Russian occupation hazard. We only care about America as a strong ally (of many) in the NATO group, there is no imperialism, direct, indirect, effective or otherwise interprettable. It’s a purely defensive pact with all its tenets clearly and publicly laid out.

We could not fight back alone and we wouldnt be able to, because just as to Ukraine and as to Nazis, the amount of meat Russia (yes the whole country, not just Putin) is willing to throw into the meatgrinder is incomprehensible.

Nice edit. I keep talking about European climate from a European perspective.

Importing less directly increases GDP. One would assume it would have 0 impact on exports, unless other governments suddenly are bitchy and angry that they cannot export to us (see: China).

I would be fine joining a petition forcing companies to at least go inline with inflation with their wages, but you did not propose it, you are just trying to be angry at something I didn’t say.

What the fuck. I keep saying I hate large companies, and they are literally abusing people by not raising peoples’ wages over 10 year time-frames.

People definitely should ask to be paid fairly. What is the point otherwise? To roll over and get fucked by any company willing to accept your skillset to make them insane amounts of money?

What the fuck.

It’s just, if you talk about finances driving your decisions, you must talk about fair wages and the current state of things. Otherwise you’re ignoring the full picture.

I blame large companies much more than I blame people not doing unions, but unions is the only possibility for people to fight back long-term abuse for a job they either perceive as acceptable, or not changeable (for whatever reason).

I am sure when you go to work and don’t get a raise for 10 years, you would think twice of the importance of worker unions in large companies.
