It's amazing how many big obviously consequential decisions around the world come down to a 50/50 vote lately. Have they perfected propaganda techniques that 49% of people are genetically susceptible to? Or is just that nobody knows what the hell is going on so we all decide completely at random what to believe?

This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting "hug time" instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a "full English breakfast"? We'll tell you all about it. There's a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn't that cute! Here's a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.
It's like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.
The various image hosting sites that people choose being down or otherwise dysfunctional seems more common than you'd think. One that's quite popular lately just flatly blocks all VPN and Tor users, leading to many broken images for some of us.
It's too bad that the image cache you have stores things permanently. Having them expire after six hours or something would seem like a better option. Maybe somehow route it through a normal caching proxy instead of the built-in lemmy one?
Athena, goddess of wisdom, olives, and weaving.
At this point all that remains to be said on the topic is: Don't feed the trolls. Not even if have recognizable names like Drew Devault.

if you want it to follow symlinks.
When it's apartheid and genocide (something on the order of 10% of the people of Gaza have been killed so far including reasonable estimates of deaths from starvation and disease) I'm not really too concerned about whether or not they call it "colonialism."
Too long to read? I get it. Here’s the summary. Download Firefox.

I had that problem when I used whatsapp five years ago. Amazing that they still haven't fixed it.

Non-google android is the way to go unless you're looking to be even more adventurous. Which phone you should look for depends which of the OS options you prefer. No pixel means no grapheneOS. LineageOS is the one I chose, runs on quite a few mostly older phones. There are many others.
That it's not a video game means also that you can't so easily refute the entire thesis and approach of the linked article by appealing to some kind of simplistic ideal model of warfare where morale and recruitment do not matter at all to an army. Conscripting the unwilling has its costs, and here we have one attempt to describe how some of it is playing out on the Ukrainian side.
Don't judge things just from the headlines, lemmy. It's a bad habit. This reporting is credible enough, and El País a sufficiently respectable publication, that it deserves better than that.
