Isn’t this a screenshot from Star Control 2?

This helps only if you wash your towel after each shower.

This just makes no sense. Who are the people who pretend to know nothing about weapons but do? Wut?

At least the Codeberg git repository is called pyfedi, which I think could be the original name of this? Py comes from the programming language used, Python. And Fedi is, well, Fedi :)

And then maybe PyFedi became PieFed because Rimu is from New Zealand and those DAMN KIWIS are SERIOUSLY MAD ABOUT PIES! 🤣

Can Trump do this without decisions by Congress and/or Senate of USA?

Would they rubber stamp such a decision by Trump?

No worries :)

You can make an alt on some other instance that is federated with piefed.social and ask again with that one! :)

It’s anyway useful to have alts.

This is also impressive:

In general, if it’s something that would have gotten you in trouble a hundred years ago, you shouldn’t be posting it. If you have to ask, don’t post it.

In year 1925 you could already get into big trouble in some western countries if you talked too positively about Jewish people. Should people not post anything positive about Jewish people on that instance? Or is it okay until year 2032? Also, I’ve understood that in year 1925 you could get into trouble if you talked strongly against vaccinations. Do they forbid anti-vaxxer posts on Yggdrasil?

I mean, I am reading this on PieFed and I do see your comment just fine. As you see mine.

Why is that a reason not to use PieFed? You can obviously just block all instances that run on Lemmy if you somehow don’t like their users!

It does have polls. Those are not visible if you use Lemmy, right?
It will also add support for viewing microblogging posts (a.k.a. Mastodon) sometime in the next year. Obviously, that’s still content you can see all of if you use both Mastodon and Lemmy, because Mastodon supports polls as well.

But PieFed is the only one that shows both everything Lemmy shows plus the polls.

The grandma was an exceptionally agile and good-looking woman in her youth, indeed! She was also pioneering a lot of things the following generations are now enjoying! But she’s nevertheless of the previous generation now.

It has polls, it supports push notifications so phone apps can immediately tell you about notifications, you can write remarks about users that will be shown to you only next to the user’s name, and what I actually find the biggest usability improvement is that I can turn on notifications for any post or any community so that if anyone writes anything to that community, I get a notification. That’s awesome with groups that get like one post every two weeks but where those few posts are all very interesting!

Some people also like that you can group a bunch of communities into one feed that you can view as if they were together just one community. Meaning, if there are copies of the same community on five instances, you can opt to merge their content when viewed from your user account.

In what way does it feel jank, in your opinion?

I’ve personally been happy with it, and I would guess the maintainers are used to the way it works and might be blind to things you notice! But, there’s a real good chance that if you can point out specific details that could be improved, they indeed will be improved. At least they’ve done awesome job handling suggestions I’ve made!

European countries have just given Ukraine the go ahead to blow up the pipelines going towards Hungary. Well as long as the explosions happen in Russia.

The thing is, Ukraine is contractually obliged to the western countries to deliver any oil the Russia sends through the transit pipes. It’s also responsible for making sure the pipes within Ukraine’s territory remain in good condition.

But, it’s not in any way responsible for the Russian pipe network, only for its own. It’s the Russia’s responsibility to keep its oil pipe network in good shape, and it’s the Russia’s and only the Russia’s problem if the pipes within its get damaged in some war. Ukraine has all the right to bomb the shit out of those pipes in the Russia, because Ukraine has never signed any contract with any EU countries that says otherwise. And if the pipes don’t work in the Russia, then the Russia is breach of its contractual obligations with the EU countries and must pay compensation, even if the pipes were blown by Ukraine.

Ukraine is not allowed to do any harm to the pipes in its own territory but it is allowed to do harm to the same pipes on territories outside Ukraine.
That system with these contracts is absolute intellectual madness.

It’s a pity they missed the motorbike!

You will lose your bet 🙂

And end to this war will unleash an absolute carnage in the Russia. Soviet Union collapsed largely because 70000 soldiers trained to the Soviet way of war, which consists 60% of raping and torturing human beings, returned to civilian life. They were impossible to rule and they were violent. Then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, those 70 000 led to violence of 1990’s and the rise of an exceptionally violent kind of a mafia.

Now there are not 70 000 returning from the front but ten times that, 700 000. Plus, the Russia has half the population of what Soviet Union had. The 1990’s will be a sunny day at a beach compared to what’s coming up. And that will come up even if the Russia is victorious.

The Russia can maybe survive that if they get a very big and unambiguous victory. Then the population will be so happy about what their nation gained that they will be less unhappy about being raped (and maimed in the action).

Atop that, in Afghanistan not all that many Russian soldiers actually died or got maimed. In this war there are several hundred thousand dead orcs. And twice that many Russian cripples.

Imagine yourself as a 27-year-old woman being violently raped by a Russian veteran of the war in Ukraine, after your dear husband got killed in the same war, without your country having gained anything really useful. You will feel all the horror of what’s going on in that horrible moment, but while hoping for the situation to end soon and you maybe staying alive, you are are also very aware that this is happening to you because of Kremlin. There will be hundred thousand cases of this situation happening. Some victims will not be 27 but 63, or 14, but the story will be the same and it will repeat everywhere, and it will repeat often. To same women, by varying “men”, even. How willing will you be to do your part in holding up the Russian unity? Nobody will feel a need to be a part of the Russia.

So, if the Russia does not win big time and unambiguously (and maybe even in their beat case scenario…), there will be such a maddening amount of instability that we cannot imagine it. The Russia is much better off destroying its economy by staying in a war they know they will lose than quitting it, because each year the carnage is pushed further into the future is one year without that upcoming horror.

As long as the war continues, the Russian Federation will remain in one piece. After that, it gets impossible to rule over the various colonised regions. If the Russia gets every square centimetre it currently occupies and gets that recognised as Russian territory, that will not be enough of a victory to salvage its future. It will be destroyed by powers from within. That means, it will have de facto lost.

And it will not accept that.

Se 7:24 on vähän tiukka ehdittävä. Ei tarvitse laivan aikataulustaan montaa prosenttia myöhästyä, niin tuon jo missaa. Tietty varmuutta kaipaavalle sitten myös tiukka vaihto yöjunaan on ei-ei, eli hän yöpynee Hamåurissa.

How does this work, technically? Is the person who notices in the same place as I am? Or will (a random?) someone immediately gain knowledge of a person picking their nose? Does that come with location information? Information about my person? Information about how I look? That must be terrifying!

A friend of mine mentioned that if this is how it works, it can be extremely useful if you get lost in the woods or something. You could use the sensation of knowing you pick your nose to send messages using morse code. The recipient would be picked (pun originally unintended) by random, though?

Ei toi 10:43 IMO mikään paha lähtöaika ole. Nykyään jos ei halua 7:24 junaan kiirehtiä, on Hampurissa 21:08. Tämä Snälltågetin juna kyllä lähtee myöhemmin, mutta saapuu 21:57. Vaihdottomuus auttaa paljon!

Toiseen suuntaan sitten vähän pölö. Mutta sitten toisaalta, Hampuriin tulevalta yöjunalta joka tapauksessa ei ehdi Tukholmassa iltalaivaan, joten hostelliyöksihän se menee. Tukholmassa 21:17, eli nukkumaan pääsee aika järjelliseen aikaan. Ottaisivat nyt mokomat tuohon mukaan yhden Zürichistä tulevan lepovaunun mukaan suoravaunuksi!

Tulen hyvin todennäköisesti käyttämään tätä junaa tulevaisuudessa, ainakin suunnassa kohti pohjoista.
Ja jos tuo nyt onnistuu olemaan ihan tosi täsmällinen (heh), niin sitten tuo olisi tosi toimiva myös vastakkaisessa suunnassa. Mutta toki 11 min vaihtoaika Hampurissa on vähän vitsikäs.
