You're doing it wrong.

There is no evidence that Ukraine is behind collapse of the bridge. Maybe it's just shoddy engineering?

Od ostatniego lata dostępność lnianych ciuchów w sieciówkach poprawiła się nieporównywalnie. Możesz iść do zwykłego H&M i bez problemu powinieneś znaleźć coś jednocześnie nie wydając na to fortuny (nawet poniżej stówki za długi rękaw).

Let's do whodunnit, part 2, continued from Nova Khakovka dam debacle.

Let's not rule out that russia damaged the bridge. By redirecting civilian traffic to Melitopol they could be using it as human shield to military supply lines.

 

Russia has taken control of the Russian subsidiaries of yoghurt maker Danone and beer company Carlsberg. The units have been put in "temporary management" of the state, under a new order signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

Traffic on the key bridge connecting Crimea to Russia’s mainland was halted on Monday after reports of explosions that Crimean officials said were from a Ukrainian attack.

The health ministry in Russia’s Krasnodar region, which lies at the eastern end of the bridge, said two people were killed in an unspecified accident on the bridge and their daughter was injured.

 

Many women in Iran stopped covering their heads after the protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini. But police now say morality patrols are back.

 

A parliamentary investigation into the collapse of Credit Suisse will keep its files closed for 50 years, according to a parliamentary committee document, a level of secrecy that has triggered concern among Swiss historians.

The document means the investigating commission would hand over its files to the Swiss Federal Archives after a longer gap than the usual 30 years to ensure high levels of confidentiality apply to the investigation, which has generated huge public interest.

The investigation will focus on the activities of the Swiss government, financial regulator and central bank in the run up to the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS in March.

 

Ben Wallace says he will step down as defence secretary at the next Cabinet reshuffle after four years in the job.

He told the Sunday Times he would not stand at the next general election, but ruled out leaving "prematurely" and triggering a by-election.

Mr Wallace has served as defence secretary under three prime ministers and has played a high-profile role in the UK's response to the Ukraine war.

 

Thousands of participants of the Budapest Pride march wound through the streets of the Hungarian capital on Saturday – with many voicing their anxiety over the increasing pressure on the LGBTQ+ community from the country's right-wing government.

The 28th annual event comes as the country's laws, which ban the depiction of homosexuality or gender transition, to minors under 18 have begun to be applied with increasing regularity, resulting in fines and other penalties for those who disseminate LGBTQ+ content.

 

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Saturday, offering support to the country while demonstrating his own nation's cooperation with NATO.

Yoon’s office said he travelled to Ukraine with his wife, Kim Keon Hee, following trips to Lithuania for a NATO summit and to Poland. It’s his first visit since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

 

Incidents at a school in the eastern German state of Brandenburg have given rise to fears over far-right sentiment in the classroom. Officials have expressed dismay, encouraging teachers not to shrink from hate.

Larry Hryb, an Xbox employee perhaps better known by his “Major Nelson” alias, is leaving Microsoft, he announced on Friday. Hryb has been a major face for many of Xbox’s marketing activities since the days of the original Xbox and Xbox Live online service, through the launch of the Xbox 360 and all of the years since.

 

The Turkish president said he and Vladimir Putin are "on the same page" when it comes to extending the Black Sea grain deal. The Kremlin, however, said no announcement had been made.

Johnson & Johnson has sued four doctors who published studies citing links between talc-based personal care products and cancer, escalating an attack on scientific studies that the company alleges are inaccurate.

J&J's subsidiary LTL Management, which absorbed the company's talc liability in a controversial 2021 spinoff, last week filed a lawsuit in New Jersey federal court asking it to force three researchers to "retract and/or issue a correction" of a study that said asbestos-contaminated consumer talc products sometimes caused patients to develop mesothelioma.

Oh, it happened immediately. Thankfully anti-russian sentiment prevails in most instances while alt/far-right keeps drumming this up, especially around anniversaries. They became so interested in historical remembrance only after second invasion of Ukraine. Curious, right?

I'm Polish and my family on father's side is from Volhynia. My grandfather who passed couple of years ago sometimes spoke that both Ukrainians and Poles committed some pretty terrible things in a cycle of revenge and escalation. He wanted to leave it behind though, despite some members of my family bombarding him with increasingly dubious books on those events.

Not sure why do you need to capitalize so much but this article doesn't dispute if those were illegal migrants nor does it attribute blame.

It's about how coast guard pressured victims to lie about cause of death of 600 people, including 100 children. This does not present coast guard in the best light though.

I was there too and it sucked. I don't understand how XMPP server operators blacklisting Google and Facebook would have prevented that though.

Threads is already magnitudes bigger than Mastodon. They don't need Activity Pub to poach users.

Yes, it's healthy to block scammers. I was asking specifically if there's an instance of an internet protocol where non-commercial entities decide to block commercial ones like here. Like refuse interoperability with Hotmail / outlook.com because Microsoft is nasty. That's what's being proposed by many here.

Threads is already massive, they're happy with monetising their own users and likely do Activity Pub to appease EU regulators.

I'm for federating with any instance that doesn't exist explicitly to break this community rules. I turned blind eye to not defederating Exploding Heads because Lemm.ee is a small server that doesn't host any big communities they could interfere with. I thought it was an indication that it's an instance that would allow me to curate my experience.

This is a European server, it's fair to assume most of the users here are protected by GDPR. The talk of scraping data seems like a nonsense, Meta can do it without federating. And as Elon learned, closing your APIs means other entities will do web scraping which puts more stress on your infrastructure.

I don't understand how most people here are for open standards, interoperability and the moment their protocol of choice gets traction they drop everything and opt to create their walled garden, except with 5 dozens of people. This is it, you've literally won. I guess some people will keep fighting big corporations for any reason on principle. That's ok but not something most people are interested in.

There's a lot of talk about how XMPP was killed by Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. I'm convinced 99% people posting that same blog post that sells opinions as facts, haven't actually lived through it. XMPP was embraced, then Google and Facebook got bored, dropped it and moved on. They did not poison the protocol in any way.

If Meta tries to extend Activity Pub in a malicious way then that's the point you defederate. If they get bored of Activity Pub and move on you have lost nothing, you probably gained more users than you would if you didn't federate. I don't believe it will come to this, EU Digital Markets Act means more platforms will have to open up, other commercial platforms will join in to capitalize on that and we'll end up with consortiums coming up with reasonable changes to standards. If not they'll get bonked by EU regulators with even more laws.

Finally, it's a shame that we've done this vote via Lemmy post. It has hit "All" view for a lot of people who are not part of this instance and probably irreversibly poisoned this discussion.
