Funny to see that after all this time we’re back to V1’s and V2’s i(skander) but this time with gps. (or glonass)

Ukraine had lots of military industry after the fall of the Soviet union. From ships to missiles to helicopters to big ass planes.

It’s just that they pissed most of it away.

I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

Ideal is not the same, by any means, as PayPal. Read up.

With ideal you loose your money. Ideal is made from the pov of the bank and the shop selling you stuff. Its almost impossible to claim your money back without the sellers consent.

Tikkie is not the same as PayPal since tikkie only works with EU banks. (and quite possibly at this moment only NL banks) PayPal does not need a bank account. Its also not really a wrapper around ideal but thats another discussion. And mostly a semantic one so lets not go there.

Effe wat meer moeite doen en de kleine lettertjes lezen medenedelander :)

So many games are lost in time due to this.

My favourite game off all time, Homeworld, got remastered years ago. Its fantastic follow-up, cataclysm could not be included in the renaster. The reason? Lost source code. No backups, studio got bought, diveded, merged, shut down and nobody thoight it prudent to safeguard that what they bought; the code and ip.

It happens. Often.

Any (western designed) phone. It doesn’t matter. All your data belongs to us. Them.

Discovery, especially the last 2 seasons are very, very inclusive. Which pisses some people off.

Next to that everything is debated. Sometimes way too long. And if you cant look past that it’s sure to annoy you very much.

That’s not what i meant. Replies are just more a cesspit over here and often not worth the energy needed to read them.

Often there is no room for debate.

And that’s for sure hurting the platform.

Thank you for once again doing what i was railing about. You’ve proven my point once again. The room is divided, I’m an simplistic asshole and you’re the righteous dude. Congrats. Next stop: I’m a racistic bigot.

Lhgbtwdxyz I don’t care, bud. I really don’t. Do what you like, don’t do what you don’t like. Be who you are. Live life how you want. It is as simple as that. And let me do the same, ok? I will never get all the fuzz. Be gay. Dont be gay. Be bi. Dont be bi. Be nothing: also great. Be everything : good for you. Be the other sex or none at all: it’s your life. I don’t care and neither should you about what I do. Just love people and you choose who. Express yourself however you want. That’s not a new message.

Police : solutions. Not anarchist bullshit. ACAB is bullshit and leads nowhere.

I miss it daily.

The discussions here always are the same, very leftist. There is only one side. Memes here are always overdone. Comics are always politicized. Everything is “eat the rich”, lhgtbq cant do anything wrong and lets not forget: fuck the police. Eating the rich has been tried before guys, several times. It didn’t work. People need leaders and these leaders will always benefit from it. Learn history before you try to make it. Or is it just jealousy?

Just because youre lhgtbq does not automatically mean you’re right or have been wronged. Surely your identity is very important. As is mine. lets find some middle ground, ok?

Police does fuck up, a lot. Do you have a solution instead of “all cops are evil” or is that just a catchy easy thing to say? And that brings me to the next one:

The depth in discussion and the amount of objective (news) subjects here is lacking. Views are often shallow and if they aren’t they are cast in stone. Lemmy is unfortunately not usable for sharing and consuming knowledge. The depth isn’t there, the communities too small and it always devolves into you’re wrong because i say so. Or, if its IT, the knowledge just isn’t there or worse: people are not willing to share it, adding a you f-ing MS simp because why not. And that brings me, again, to the next:

It’s also often a lot less cordial. Instead of discussing the “room” gets divided in friends and enemies. Name calling is normal. Its a lot darker here.

Most of the times I don’t even check responses on my comments : I know what they say. Yeah buddy, fuck you too.

Anyway, its fine. I use it daily. The use case isn’t the same though. And the experience is very different.

I wouldn’t be here without Sync by the way. Without (stuff like) Sync the hassle would just not be worth it.

This is not a hurdle, its a nuisance at best. It’s stupid though.

Hahaha, great one.

Great substantiation. Thanks for that clear insight.

When i was young we had glass bottles for everything.

Thank god for PET bottles.

PET is just as easily recyclable as glass and it doesnt break when the bottle falls or explode during temperature swings. Next to that its weighs not even 10% of a glass bottle thus saving a lot of transportation costs. Creating a PET bottle costs a fraction of a glass bottle. Nobody ever died because of a cut vein by a PET bottle. Glass on the other hand…

PET is way better for the environment then glass ever will be.

I lived in the 70s/80s as a kid and there are very good reasons why we stopped with glass. Glass bottles for pop sucked ass, big times.

And the recycle money scheme also works on PET bottles. I know that also for a fact. Why? I live in the EU. We’re doing that for like… Forever.

In the end its not the companies who just jug it onto the roadside or dont recycle shit. It’s us. We’re the assholes. We find it too hard to put something in the right bin. We find it too hard having 4 bins at home for recycling. We find it too hard to just keep our waste with us in the car. Its nasty. Just open the window and throw it out.

Putting everything in glass will solve nothing. Then, instead of forever plastic we’re left with forever glass. People are lazy assholes. Accept it and start work on that, not the symptoms.

And maybe… Maybe Carlin was right about plastic. (if you dont know what im talking about, which I cannot believe, search “carlin earth plastic” on YouTube. And choose the longest one for the entire sketch)

The moment the state decides if your life is valuable enough or not is the moment we are talking about fascism. It is that simple.

And yes, I’m all for assisted death. But the keyword is assisted. And if you yourself cannot decide if you want to be assisted it just can’t happen.

A politician can not decide for you if you deserve to live or not. A life canot be valued. And that was what was implied.

They are rich together. One just a tad more then the other.

Edit: typos. (curse you ms swiftkey!)

Say, didnt you guys hear about that one party which was hugely popular in germany once? The guy in charge was called “the boss” and they had a very specific greet.

They too extended it to people with disabilities.

I dunno… But it seems somewhat relevant…

Have you seen the beginning of the movie “Fury”? How the new guy had to “clean out” his seat in the tank?

No treaty? Yes, factually that is true.

But you could say we where double dealing. We said something, did another.

And the linked article in the post says the same. Yes , oral guarantees where made. No, they where never written down and quickly forgotten when push came to shove. Probably because we knew russia could do jack shit about it at that time. And still can’t .

Your boomer parents? You’re 40 something?
