Russia have proven themselves to be true to their word
Ukraine literally gave up its nuclear arsenal because Russia promised not to invade them in 1994, what are you on about.
- Comment on UK should consider expelling US forces from British bases, says Zack Polanski 2 days ago:
TBF, Polanski isn’t an isolationist. He says we should build an alternative alliance with our European allies, though why just making NATO less America-led or even America-less isn’t something he’s explained to my knowledge. I suppose saying ‘leave NATO’ is more attention grabby than the more nuanced ‘we need to become less dependent on America and instead rely on our European partners’.
- Comment on UK should consider expelling US forces from British bases, says Zack Polanski 2 days ago:
Polanski is just the leader of the Green party, he’s not even an MP. The leave NATO thing isn’t even Green party policy, it’s to reform it from within, he just started talking about leaving it during the leadership election and has defended it since.

I think for what it is, it’s all right. Not good per se, but it’s a 10 minute exercise in a larger lesson.
The tiktok scene is stupid, where if you “do your research” you get radicalised, so the correct option is to “just ignore it”
It is, like maybe it’s just me but who’s idea of doing research is going onto someone’s bio and going to their website? I get some people do this, but the good option should have been looking it up in a reputable news source.
so the correct option is to “just ignore it” and then you find out apparently a charity is doing something the government stopped doing (how is that a good thing???).
Peak neoliberalism.
Then at the end you nearly get arrested if you attend a protest. Not a good message to send.
It’s accurate at least, even if that is depressing.
Also quite sloppy how when you do choose the correct option you literally lose all of your friends. Couldn’t they have had you do research and debunk your friend’s claims?
I’ll defend them on this, they’re trying to say don’t let peer pressure radicalise you. Maybe not the best message that not becoming a racist will leave you lonely and friendless, but I see what they were going for.
I think the best way to actually make someone less racist in the youth is to create an environment where they can befriend immigrants
I completely agree, but that only works if there are actually immigrants around. Hull is 100% white, so this goes into the question of how do you deradicalise people when exposure isn’t an option.

You can play the game here. Honestly, it’s not worse than some of the games about anti-social behaviour I was made to play in school. Some good advice, some bad advice and encourages an incourious trust in the system, fairly standard school stuff. Very funny that in the video at the end that the transition from potential terrorist to law-abiding citizen is a gamer going outside.

Assuming you have a standard deployment with docker compose, do to the directory with the
docker-compose.ymlfile and run this:docker compose logs lemmy | less
You might have to scroll for a bit, you can hit
/then typemastodon.socialthen enter to find occurrences in the logs. Jump to next/previous by hittingnandN/shift-nrespectively.I was able to fetch the comment without issue (feddit.uk/post/42810312/22639417), so it could be something in your setting somewhere. You can try to resolve the comment (go to search in the web UI and past the URL for comment), then after you can run the command above and jump to the end (
Alt->) and it should say something about why it failed to resolve. - Comment on FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link) 5 days ago:
They seem to have blocked Nutomic, so won’t see this.

- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 5 days ago:
They completely deindexed Link (spacelawshitpost.me) for not showing appropriate reverence for Charlie Kirk after he died by pointing to their TOS policy on promoting violence, but an organisation that only exists to exert violence on non-white people gets a pass.

Maybe if we also started to promote eugenics and race science we’d also get the full backing of the American government.

Just an fyi, but this is a news comm. Something like this would probably be better suited for !memes@feddit.uk or !okmatewanker@feddit.uk. I’ll keep this up, but just bear it in mind for the future.

Chapter one also released in 2018 (

Polanski is doing one as well, but at the same time as the King’s Speech. This is apparently just a feature of British politics now.

Was anything changed about how this federates? If no, what protections are in place against someone just patching their instance software to always return an

Earlier this week, I announced the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory–a project I’ve been working on since June 2024. Hundreds of people shared it on Mastodon and BlueSky. Comparatively, almost nobody on Hacker News ever saw it.
I’ll admit I missed this despite it being posted in !technology@lemmy.world. Lumping Masto and Bluesky together here is weird though given the Masto post got 300+ boosts while the Blusky post got 25 reposts.

TBF, they have introduced a ‘verified’ system that lets you use human readable names.

Yeah, people are tribal and decentralisation lets people express that in ways centralised platforms don’t. Something, something, tech won’t save us.
- Comment on Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years 1 month ago:
Clicking though to community to post and selecting a community from the create post page are same problem rearranged. A user who subbed to ~technology@piefed.social isn’t going to know the difference between !technology@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.zip and !technology@piefed.social.
- Comment on Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years 1 month ago:
Solution 2 in the post, multicommunities. I’m not sure it actually solves the problem though, as you still have to go to the actual community to post and I imagine multicomms add an extra layer of confusion to that.
- Comment on Waterstones would sell books written by AI, says chain's boss 1 month ago:
And that relates to a book shop selling LLM-written books how? Digital artists still draw what’s attributed to them, an AI author hasn’t written what’s attributed to them.
