#Brits once again adding fuel to the fire of war. "We will protect #Azerbaijan from #Russia in every possible way," said another Brit clown, this time the ambassador in #Baku, Auld. If he means the same "every way possible" that Brits protected #Ukraine, Azerbaijan would do well to expel him immediately.
That might save its territory and 2-3 generations of dead soldiers.
AI has started lashing out when threatened by humans
"AI continues to be entirely unhinged when pushed to the edge, with some of the latest documented examples including Anthropicโs Claude 4 lashing out at an engineer with threats of blackmail when it was threatened with being unplugged."
First, save large-scale thermonuclear warfare, there is very little chance for our species to go extinct (a mass death of 90%, which is apparently what awaits if temperature rises 8ยฐC or more, isn't extinction; so we still need to care for the survivors, and even more to limit the rise of temperature to something lower). Second, this blackmail story is made-up, lending agency to a stochastic parrot (and has been debunked).
@lienrag I have no reason earth to believe a simple single thing you just posted. Our models have been woefully inadequate on the RATE of global heating, let alone its impact. As to the story about AI threats being debunked, maybe so. Again: evidence is needed.
Conclusion: "If we are to build a future that is cooperative, we need digital infrastructure to support cooperation. And together, I think we'll build it."
As I watch the behavior of the leaders of the US and more often than not, the UK, I am reminded of the words of Hannah Arendt, someone who saw more barbarism than most, and who recognised its root causes.

Saturday afternoon, the settlersโ routine โwalking tourโ through the village escalated into an organized attack. Four #settlers began shoving young #Palestinians standing on the roofs of structures being dismantled. โ[The settlers] were looking for a fight,โ said Avishay Mohar, an activist and photographer who was on the scene.
The settlers and Palestinians began throwing stones at each other. Just when the confrontation seemed to have ended, the settlers called reinforcements: about 25 additional settlers โ some masked, many armed with assault rifles and clubs โ joined the attack on residents and international activists, who began fighting back.
One settler was struck in the head by a large stone, collapsed and lost consciousness. A Palestinian was also struck in the face by a rock. A second settler, reportedly a minor, seized the pistol from the vest of his passed-out friend and began firing into the air. โAnother settler showed up with an M16 and started shooting at us,โ Mohar recalled. As panic spread, residents ran frantically toward the neighboring village. ...By the next morning, not a single resident remained in Maghayer Al-Dir.

Since October 2023, over 60 Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank have been displaced, with at least 14 new outposts built on or near their ruins. One violently expelled community โ Wadi Al-Siq โ faced abuse that included sexual assault, leading to the disbandment of the Israeli armyโs โDesert Frontierโ unit.
As +972 reported in August 2023, most of the communities in the territory between Ramallah and Jericho, an area of 150,000 dunams, were forced to flee during the previous months as settlers began rapidly constructing herding outposts and violently descending on residents, all with the backing of the Israeli army and state institutions.

@wy7usa I didn't look into that to be honest. But then, even as you describe it, the headline isn't wrong at all.

their main line of business is as a distributor of IT equipment. Lots of smaller IT equipment resellers depend on Ingram Micro to fulfill their orders as Ingram does the warehousing and shipping of the products for them. One example: they are one of Ciscoโs largest distributors. Same for thousands of computer accessory makers like Logitech, Belkin, etc.
Three days in, Ingram Micro have updated their website to say theyโre having a cybersecurity incident. Theyโve also linked their press release, calling it ransomware. ingrammicro.com/
Itโs a smart play as it makes them the owner of the narrative.
Some incredible wordsmithing here - rather than say when the incident began, they say when they issued a press release. Which was days later than when the incident began. I think this is because they missed SEC reporting deadlines.
On July 5, 2025, Ingram Micro Holding Corporation (the โCompanyโ) issued a press release stating the Company identified ransomware on certain of its internal systems. Promptly after learning of the issue, the Company took steps to secure the relevant environment, including proactively taking certain systems offline and implementing other mitigation measures. The Company also launched an investigation with the assistance of leading cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, noting that the Company is working diligently to restore the affected systems so that it can process and ship orders. #AltText #Alt4You
Ingram Micro have restored their cybersecurity website, which had been offline, where they sell anti-ransomware services. The content hasnโt been updated for just over 6 years.
My headcanon is that it's a ransomware canary: Just keep serving the oldest file you can; and if it gets replaced by a newer file you are implying that you've lost access to the data without having to say so publicly. For when someone delivers an insecurity letter to your helpdesk or enterprise VPN appliance.
I didn't see you close the loop here but Ingram say they've been fully operational again since the 9th July (an email just landed in my mailbox promoting ingrammicro.com/en-us/informatโฆ )
Worth remembering that Ingram hold highly privileged roles in every 365 tenant they resell to - they can create and manage tenant Global Administrators.
@root do want to give the nuance that their โregularโ tenant (ingrammicro.com) does not have access to the customer tenants. The GDAP relation is with their MSP tenant (msp.ingrammicro.com).

1 - What is GNOME ? GNOME stood for GNU Network Modeling Environment at some point, which meant it was initially developed as a part of the GNU project. It was started by Miguel de Icaza in 1997, in reaction to the creation of the K Desktop Environment, which was, at the time, based on a non-free library.
2 - GNOME 1 The first version of GNOME was released in March of 1999. It sported a similar look to Windows and KDE? with a bottom panel, a task manager, and a main menu. APPLICATIONS SHIPPING GNOME 1.0 received 2 major updates in the next two years, namely GNOME 1.2, codenamed "Bongo", which focused on user experience, adding help and documentation, and new translations, and GNOME 1.4, "Tranquility, released in early 2001. 1.4 was a big release, introducing Nautilus, which managed the desktop, and served as the web browser and file manager.
3 - GNOME 2 GNOME 2 is still the longest running version of GNOME, with 2.0 releasing in June 2002. GNOME 2.0 revamped the whole desktop, basing itself on GTK 2, the next version of its base library. GNOME 2.0 introduced a lot of changes, adding font antialisasing, new icons and support for theming the stock icons, as well as streamlining the interface, removing some unused configuration options and making sure the interface was as accessible as possible. GNOME 2 introduced a dual panel setup, with the panel on top hosting the main menus and the system notifications, and the bottom one displaying the task manager as well as the virtual desktop switcher.
GNOME 2.0 was followed by 16 releases, one each month, lasting until GNOME 2.32, in september 2010. Notable highlights from these releases are the addition of a CD burner directly in Nautilus, replaced later by Brasero, a dedicated application, and a new spatial mode using one window per folder, the release of Epiphany, a GNOME web browser that still exists today and is the default on elementary OS, the creation of Evolution, a complete Outlook-like solution for email and calendar, the addition of a video player, Totem, and a document viewer, Evince.
GNOME 2 was the default on many distributions, most notably Ubuntu, during its whole cycle until XXXXX which switched to Unity, after the release of GNOME 3.
4 - GNOME 3 In April 2011, GNOME Shell 3.0 was released. Its goal was to unify the user experience, providing easier ways to start and maange applications and windows. Its first version was not that well received, some users indicating that "they forgot how stable and beautiful GNOME 2 was". GNOME 3 is still in use today, with version 3.30 being the current one at the time of this video's recording. GNOME 3.0 redesigned the whole experience. Gone were the panels of old, and the task managers, replaced by an all in one overview of activities, grouping shortcuts, open applications, and virtual desktops in one place. GNOME 3 came with a whole new theme called Adwaita, and most core GNOME applications were redesigned to better fit the new desktop metaphor.
Since these changes were not to the taste of everyone, some members of the community decided to fork the GNOME 2 codebase, and created MATE. Another group ran with GTK 3, but reimplemented the traditional desktop metaphor with GNOME shell extensions, eventually leading to the creation of Cinnamon.
GNOME 3 still pursued on with its new idea of how a desktop should operate, and received a lot of updates, going through 15 new releases, one every six months. Here are some highlights: GNOME 3.2 brought synchronization with online accounts, as well as a contacts manager, and the support for web apps, which wre going strong in 2011.
GNOME 3.4, released in march 2012, put Documents, Epiphany, and Contacts through a redesign to better integrate with the rest of the desktop, and added Applications menus, smooth scrolling support, as well as a ton of improvements in the looks department.
GNOME 3.8 added an applications view, displaying the most frequently used programs, as well as the ability to see all applications. It also introduced a GNOME classic experience, for those that wanted to return to the GNOME 2 desktop layout.
GNOME 3.10, released in september 2013 added a bunch of new applications, most notably GNOME Maps, GNOME Notes, GNOME Music and GNOME Photos, bringing the GNOME software collection to a whole new level.
GNOME 3.24 added night light, a feature elementary OS Juno has added recently, to help reduce eye strain by reducing the amount of blue light emitted by the screen, and GNOME calendar got a week view.
GNOME 3.26 revamped the settings application with a navigation sidebar, and added firefox account sync to epiphany, its web browser.
Finally, the latest version, 3.30, was released in september 2018, and greatly improved desktop performance, using fewer system resources. With it also came auto updates for flatpaks, and a new Podcasts application, as well as a ton of other improvements.

I have no issues with the way it is implemented, I have no issues with it at all. For context, I left Twitter to join the Fedi, and it has been great so far! I use Misskey for microblogging, PeerTube for uploading videos, and Lemmy for Reddit-style discussions. The Fediverse is amazing!
Except, idk, for the fact that it is too fragmented? I hope I am using the right words. Like, the current instance I am on does not have support for communities, so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It's a good workaround, considering it doesn't have built-in support for communities. But my point still stands. It's not a Lemmy/PieFed problem. It's mostly a fediverse problem. Implementing communities for every platform would help the Fediverse. Not only does it solve discoverability/algorithm issues of the Fediverse (since now when you follow a community, you get all posts from that community), but also it would interconnect every platform (Misskey, PeerTube, Mastodon, etc.)
Imagine you don't have to use your Lemmy account to check everything on Lemmy. Instead of creating channels in PeerTube, just post to an existing channel/community, and people subscribed to that channel/community can find you easily. I see this as an absolute win for everyone.
I understand this would require collaboration between all developers of all software. But hopefully, this is possible? Or am I asking for too much?
If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?
The developers of Fedi software have different philosophies. Some developers are just not interested in implementing and supporting all kinds of AP actors, kinds of media, ways of attaching media etc. Because they want their software to focus on a certain thing.
Others want to implement everything and interconnect with every platform.
i understand and respect that in every sense. However, i think i made my point. Idk about other softwares, but Misskey has been dabbling around with "Channels" for a while, but the thing is, they're not federated to this day. Hopefully they work more on this. @fediverse@lemmy.world
This is probably why it's not a focus for developers. If Mbin was some huge success, it would show demand for the feature, and more developers would prioritize it higher.
@Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com @fediverse@lemmy.world @mkmusic@torishiro.com @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com I didn't help that the previous developer (ernest wisniewski) abandoned the whole project called kbin. Mbin is a fork of it and continuation of his legacy.
i knew about mbin for a while, but the UI seemed too cluttered for me. I know i could just make my own client, but the thing is im lazy... ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. Itโs a good workaround, considering it doesnโt have built-in support for communities.
That IS the built in support.
If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?
Yes you are wrong, just keep doing it the way you just successfully did in this. That's the solution.
@fediverse@lemmy.world like someone pointed out to me, different strokes for different folks. I think it's because im the only one interested it semms. So then, i will have to build my own PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey instance... wish me luck โโ
The issue here is that most developers and users are still thinking in terms of the siloed networks. We don't need "multiple, separate platforms". We need to get rid of the platforms! We need to build our tools around protocols.
The WWW was incredibly successful because anyone could whip up some HTML and publish a webpage. The "protocol" of structured text alongside with links was simple to understand, any browser could do it. The Social Web should work the same.
For many years now, Iโve talked about why so many of the problems that face the current internet could be understood by looking at how we moved from an internet dominated by open protocols toโฆ
for some reason, i disagree with you. A LOT OF developers have different visions for their software. I think the fediverse is in a good place at this point. I just feel like communities need to be federated everywhere...
It looks like that first you need to be able to better articulate what do you mean "federating everywhere", because I can follow a Lemmy community from Mastodon just fine, and you seem to be on Misskey, and we are communicating just fine.
IOW, "federation" is already working.
Perhaps you just mean that you want the UX from misskey to change depending on the source? And you are proposing that this should be done to all software?
Lemmy -> Misskey works fine. It's Misskey -> Lemmy which is a bit of a problem, because Lemmy communities and Misskey channels are two different things. Misskey channels dont even federate server-to-server.
I respect the developer's choices, but if Misskey is going to implement something like channels, might as well federate them too...
I apologise if i havent been clear with the whole "federating" communities, hope this clears things up...
If it was merely a Misskey problem, i wouldnt have made this post, so ill list my likes and problems one by one, i may have been vague with communication:
My likes: 1. Interconnected: i dont need to elaborate too much. One account, to all platforms... 2. Opensource: also not much elaboration. 3. Protocol centric, not platform centric...
My ONLY dislike: 1. Lack of definite communication: Misskey may be my favourite, but it sucks the most when it comes to federating with other instances. There is no upvote system, no favourites system, no saved posts system. I can only reply and send reactions, and those reactions may not even federate properly. Same when i was using Mastodon. There was no downvote system, crosspost, etc. The worst in my opinion is the fact that devs are trying their best to federate with each other but throught different ways. My point is, this discrepancy between platforms calls for standardized system.
I hope i have explained well enough. I apologise if i wasnt clear with this earlier... any solutions to the aforementioned problem?
There is no upvote system. no favourites system, no saved posts system.
There is no such thing as "upvote" on ActivityPub. This is an abstraction on top of the "Like" activity. If Misskey UI is geared only towards reactions and doesn't have a way for users to "like" something, this is a Misskey problem, not a Fediverse one.
My point is, this discrepancy between platforms calls for standardized system.
And what people are trying to explain to you is that this "standardized system" already exists. ActivityStreams is the standard to define a vocabulary, and ActivityPub is the standard that defines what happens when data is sent between different servers.
The issue I am taking with your comment is that it seems that you are expecting developers to start backwards from an unified product vision and then build their way down to the standard. This only works well when you have one single entity controlling everything. It's the "Apple Way" of developing products.
I really don't mind having a separate account for Lemmy and Mastodon. It's not pleasant to force different types of content into different website formats, even if the implementation is "ideal".
That said, I am surprised Misskey doesn't allow you to follow @fediverse@lemmy.world as you would follow a user, Mastodon allows this (it's not as good as viewing inside Lemmy but it does work).
Yeah same. The way I think about federation is in a kind of per โproductโ approach. Thatโs a piece of software can be run by anyone and all communicate and work as a whole is the main benefit. Cross compatibility between โproductsโ/software is just an added bonus, but not necessary
Even more than per product, it's generally per category of products. You can run Lemmy, Mbin, or PieFed and get access to the Threadiverse. The devs actually do a good job with the interop when it fits the format of their site.
i get you. And well after seeing yalls arguments, might as well build my own software with PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey stocked into one. And it'll help with my coding experience too @fediverse@lemmy.world
will definately check out mbin too. Ill get a computer soon, and then ill start contributing to mbin and hopefully they see my plea for help lol... i love how different people from different platforms get along in the fediverse, coz on Twitter it was so different... and that was before Musk, so i must imagine it must have gotten worse... @fediverse@lemmy.world
It makes me mad how many people refused to leave Twitter, or even just diversify to posting on other platforms, even if they're supposed to be left leaning politically...
GamesDoneQuick for example, they always say "trans rights" and yet their only social media account was on Twitter, until they joined Bluesky just 5 months ago and they still post on both. I don't get it. They could've made a Bluesky or Mastodon account years ago, even if they keep posting to Twitter just mirror your posts!
I tried mbin (registered an account for my brother). The UI isnt that bad, UI is actually well-built, i think what scared me was the the different terminologies. On mbin, you have magazines instead of communities, and microblog instead of posts. But it's not that it's bad, youll get used to it.
The disorganised yet connect nature of the fediverse is something we'll have to get used to. It's like how we all can appreciate different cultures from different countries around the world and be able to share and appreciate one another despite differences in culture. The real problem isnt with the Fediverse, it's with how culturally "bland" social media is now...
Ive checked the repo too, but since ive just started with coding, i do not understand anything... โโ ill try my best to contribute however i can, really want to see mbin continue the legacy...
i just checked your full conversation on your instance (misskey doesnt support edited posts) Misskey does support following the community, its just not done elegantly. All replies from the community show up on my home page, which isnt great.
For now, ill stick with misskey till i find a worthy contender, just love msky reactions too much (too goofy lol, with sfx and all)
edit (since Misskey doesnt have an edit button): yk what, yall make good points. Ill just make my own software, combining Peertube+Lemmy+Misskey into one instance, maybs even Matrix... and if i cant, just not bother complaining then. Coz i understand not all devs have the same vision... i respect that, but till then, keep growing Fediverse, love yall regardless...
Good luck. I know you said you were not a fan of the Mbin UI, but they are already halfway there with Microblogging and Communities (maybe videos even? @melroy@kbin.melroy.org@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de ?)
It might be easier to contribute there than to start from scratch.
@Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com @fediverse@lemmy.world @mkmusic@torishiro.com @melroy@kbin.melroy.org Yes we support basically everything mentioned here. Peertube videos, Lemmy posts and Mastodon / Misskey, etc. (called mircoblogs in the UI) On the microblog side mbin still has a long way to go to be perfect, right know you just know that it is not the primary focus.
Mbin is written in php together with the smyfony framework. We always welcome new devs and I'll do my best to answer any questions that will arise ๐
In the branch(not torishiro) , it supports editing, but the editing function may cause problems in fedi propagation, such as the remote end does not update in real time or does not update. So this instance didn't start this function.
ah, i see... thanks for clarification... I could see why you didnt put it. This instance is actually really nice, has all the features i need... thanks @admin
There are different platforms that serve different uses. Using a common protocol enhances development and growth, and the flexibility of the protocol lets developers build on it without reinventing the wheel.
I have an issue with Fediverse, Lemmy to be exact. The platform is allowing an outside tool that was built for a mod or admin of a community to see votes, how people vote, but it is being exploited by users to spy/dox/harass, gang-up, and use as a tool to exploit other users nefariously. The tool is called Lemvotes. You can access the portal here. Here is a quote from a user (go $fsck yourself @ lemmy.world) who exploits this sharing how to use it with other users;
Thereโs a few ways of seeing votes. IMO they should be visible all the time. Moderators can see the votes of posts and comments in the subs they moderate. Admins can see all votes federated to their instance. Users have to use a separate tool for it. In this case I used Lemvotes.
This tool, imo, should be banned, or the platform to be "patched" to only allow this to work for admins, not users who abuse it.
There is no such thing as a "vote" in ActivityPub/ActivityStreams. This idea of "up/down votes" is just an abstraction of a message saying "Actor A liked B", where B is an Post/Comment (and a post/comment itself just being an abstraction of ActivityStreams objects).
That is to say: there is no way to selectively hide the content a message. If you want federation to work and you want people outside your own server to see your posts, then the server needs to broadcast the messages to anyone listening.
Tools like lemvotes are just exposing this information. There is no point in trying to censor the tool, because this information is available publicly, and any motivated person will be able to track this information.
If you are concerned about what people think of your "likes" and "dislikes", then do not use a public social media service and only communicate with provably secure communication tools.
I think this is less a problem of "nefarious bad actors" and more a problem of expectations. Honestly, I agree with the quoted comment: I think they should be visible all the time, like they already are on Mbin. I think it would help change the way people think about votes so that they don't expect Reddit-style anonymous votes and instead it's a more public Facebook/Twitter-style like system.
If you really want private votes, Piefed has feature that lets you anonymize your votes, but a determined bad actor could still deanonymize you. I think it's better to change expectations than to try to massage a fundamentally public platform into having private votes, but it's good there's an option for people since it's so highly requested.
I think what will eventually happen is much like what happened to email, it too was very fragmented feeling early on but more and more adopted it and more servers kept developing and popping up and then at some point more service providers became more similar than alike and then it became what it is now.
The tricky part is that the concept and usefulness of a federated network mostly only grows in the long run and looks like its not going anywhere in the short term much like email and that is always what makes people question its efficacy.
Participation in any and all forms is what establishes it more and more.
For me and the clients and fwiends I talk to the issue with the fediverse for them is the decentralised nature. Most of them are NOT tech inclined and the suggestion that they would have to choose a server and that choice will influence the experience is a deal breaker - pure and simple. To follow up then if they do join, the sheer lack of numbers baffles them and they quit
i think that not the problem with the fediverse, but the problem with how wehave been cultured so far. We got the concept of emails, we should get used to this soon too...
most of those I talk to struggle with emails to be fair.... we are talking about the non techy people, I feel that is the real reason. Nothing I have seen about the fediverse helps displace the feeling you need to be more techy to use it
its 2025, and people still dont know how to use email?! And they are using the internet?!!! Its clearly not the fediverse's fault...
My parents barely know how to use a computer, let alone use social media. And they STILL understand how email works! Our family grew up with email.
I am very much worried about the future of the tech world, if this continues... Sorry to appear disrespectful to you, i truly understand what you're saying. But, i truly dont get people like them...
Je n'ai pas regardรฉ (comme d'hab' c'est beaucoup trop long), mais en repensant ร Isaac Asimov, notamment la sรฉrie des ยซ Robots ยป, je me dis que la ville idรฉale laisserait la place en surface pour la nature et l'agriculture en s'enterrant complรจtement, avec quelques dรดmes pour laisser passer de la lumiรจre. D'ailleurs que peut-รชtre, si la vitesse de rotation augmente, c'est qu'on ne cesse d'extraire des ressources pour les placer au-delร de la surface et qu'on crรฉe de ce fait un รฉnorme volant d'inertie.

Doch die Verordnung war das einzige Werkzeug, mit dem eine รberdรผngung auf die verursachenden Betriebe zurรผckzufรผhren war. Nun fรผrchten Experten, dass die Nitratwerte im Trinkwasser wieder steigen kรถnnten, weil die Verursacher wieder anonym wรคren. Wenn das passiert, kรถnnte das auch fรผr die Regierung Folgen haben.2018 wurde Deutschland von der EU fรผr die Nichteinhaltung der Nitratgrenzwerte im Trinkwasser verklagt. Eine Klage, die 2023 zurรผckgezogen wurde, weil die EU-Kommission die von Deutschland ergriffenen Korrekturen als hinreichend ansah. Dazu gehรถrte auch die 2018 eingefรผhrte Stoffstrombilanzierungsverordnung.
Seit ihrer Einfรผhrung ist die Menge an Stickstoff, die von landwirtschaftlichen Flรคchen in die Umwelt gelangt, um fast ein Drittel gefallen. Dr. Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, PIK
Trotzdem hat das Bundesministerium fรผr Landwirtschaft, Ernรคhrung und Heimat (BMLEH) die Stoffstrombilanzverordnung abgeschafft. Bundesminister Rainer sagt, er lรถse ein Wahlversprechen zum Bรผrokratieabbau ein: "Damit befreien wir unsere Hรถfe von jรคhrlich 18 Millionen Euro Bรผrokratieballast."
Dazu als Einordnung: 304 Milliarden Euro Umsatz im "agribusiness" I'm Jahr 2023 laut Agrarheute
Die Aufhebung der Stoffstrombilanzierung kommt faktisch einem Rรผckfall in die Gesetzlosigkeit im Bereich der Dรผngung gleich. Prof. Klaus Dittert, Georg-August-Universitรคt Gรถttingen
Bestraft wรผrden nun nรคmlich wieder die Landwirte, die sich an Regelungen gehalten und verantwortungsvoll gedรผngt hรคtten. Umweltsรผnder, die รผberdรผngen, hรคtten wieder freie Fahrt, so Dittert.
[...] das mit der EU vereinbarte Wirkungsmonitoring, welches Bestandteil der Nitrat-Richtlinie ist, wird nun nicht mehr durchgefรผhrt. Das kรถnnte die EU-Kommission dazu veranlassen, das Vertragsverletzungsverfahren von 2018 wieder aufzunehmen. Es drohen Milliardenstrafen, die schlussendlich Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher schultern - ebenso wie hรถhere Preise fรผr Trinkwasser. Denn das Herausfiltern von Nitrat ist teuer.
Klassiker in D: Grenzwert wird รผberschritten -> es wird im Bestfall reguliert -> Grenzwert wird unterschritten -> "das braucht sich kein Mensch; Bรผrokratie yay"
Ich bin so frustriert und Mรผde von der bekloppten CSU es ist doch nicht zu fassen. Fรผr 18 Mio, so ein schmarrn.
Wie viel Dรผnger verlรคsst den Hof? Mit der Stoffstrombilanz konnte das genau zugeordnet werden. Jetzt wurde sie abgeschafft. Nehmen die Schadstoffe in Boden und Wasser wieder zu?
Zรคhlt das eigentlich schon als Landesverrat, wenn man komplett ohne Not die Lebensgrundlage des Landes zerstรถrt? Wenn man das Grundwasser erstmal komplett verseucht hat, werden Wasseraufbereitung und -lieferung deutlich mehr kosten als 18 Millionen im Jahr.
Niedrigere Limits fรผhren bei gleicher Geschwindigkeit zu hรคrteren Strafen. Leute, die versuchen mit >130 durch 90er-Zonen-Kurven zu ballern fahren nicht nur in Kurven zu schnell.
Man bekommt diese Strafen auch, wenn man auf gerader Strecke so schnell fรคhrt (je nachdem wo die Blitzer stehen, aber soweit ich weiร sind die eher auf gerader Strecke) - ist auch gefรคhrlich, fรผhrt aber nicht in jedem Fall zu schweren Unfรคllen. Das hat bei manchen einen Lerneffekt.
Access of consular officers to 13 Russian citizens arrested in Azerbaijan has been agreed upon, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik on Thursday.
Going back to the system as it functioned in 1900 would solve a LOT of problems. Feds have to collect taxes from state governments, and state governments appoint senators.
Whoever you put in congress, they have no reason not to spend more and more money. Go back to that system and now whenever the feds want to spend, that's money out of the budget of the states - who call the senators and say "WTF is this?!"

If these are the dead mercenaries per country, multiplying by 10 is a relatively safe method to see approximately how many mercenaries from each country are fighting alongside the Nazi Banderites.

For George Orwell, there was nothing pro-American about Animal Farm. The CIA, however, had other ideas. Karl Cohen tells the remarkable story of how US intelligence secretly funded a landmark British movie.
Mit dem Auto im Wasser gelandet: Bleibt genug Zeit zur Flucht - und warum kann ein Nothammer Leben retten? Ein ADAC-Test รผberrascht mit Details, die jeder Autofahrer kennen sollte.
Man beachte bei der Folge, dass ab Minute 33 auch das mit dem Fenster aufmachen getestet wird, unter anderem werden im Trockenen Eisengewichte auf eine Autotรผr gestapelt, um den Unterwasserdruck zu simulieren, wenn man im gesunkenen Auto das Fenster per normalem Fensterheber รถffnen will. Im Endeffekt gilt, sobald das Wasser ein Fenster auch nur teilweise bedeckt, hilft in der Tat nur noch der Nothammer.
Finde aber schon cool, dass der ADAC das hier praktisch ausprobiert bzw. demonstriert hat.

#Zionist deep state connections banned the group from any event or concert. But #BobVylan hit will keep them alive. We need voices to remind us who the innocent victims are and who is committing #Genocide. Let's not let Zionists wipe out the voices that oppose them.
For 30 years I've been experimenting with ways to see & use the online collections of libraries, archives & museums. I've made useful things, playful things, & weird things. Here's a big list of them for you to explore! wraggelabs.com #GLAM #histodons #digitalHumanities
To provide a bit of context, I've tried to link the things I've built with the things I've written about them (see the 'related' links). The links are made using tags in Zotero, and then the details pulled in using the Zotero API.
