Ypu don't need to be a Cossack to kill a horse and its rider.

That's some serious waste of money... I wonder if something will actually be delivered? Except for the money being delivered to the Russia, of course.

Which is of course because there are so much fewer socialist countries than capitalist countries.

As much as a I despise the penal system of USA, USA has not killed 60 million of its own inhabitants.

You are comparing grapes to grapefruits.

I've been wondering how the media could be regulated to not become a populist hellhole.

If the government starts telling what the media can write and what it cannot, we are quickly in a very bad place.
But at the same time, yellow press is a cancer. It seems that people all around prefer interesting newspapers over factual ones. Newspapers that add a bit of extra flavour to their articles sell a lot better than purely factual ones, because they are "less boring". And then that destroys democracy. I wonder how that should be avoided!

In what way. Please elaborate.

(heh.)

Not sure, but here are some numbers you might find interesting:

The net loss of Ukrainian land in all of calendar year 2024 was 0.7 % of Ukraine's total land area. This number completely ignores the existence of areas that Ukrainian forces held inside the Russia. If those were to be taken into account, the loss would be around 0.4 % or so.

A few weeks ago it was said that in the preceding 12 months, Ukraine has lost 0.3 % of its total land area.

Depends on the operation. What kind of operations are you talking about?

Mainly NATOs operations are coördination. If Finland gets attacked, then Sweden and Spain and Latvia and Belgium, etc., will help Finland in defending militarily against the Russia. It's not NATo helping Finland, it's Sweden and Spain and Latvia and Belgium, etc., helping Finland. Because of their obligations as being NATO member countries.

Any incursion of a military into another country's territory without that country's permission is considered an attack and therefore very carefully avoided by all militaries.

If it happens, it is intentional. (At least if it happens for more than a minute or so. In this case, the planes have been flying in the countries' territories for about 10 minutes or so. And that's a long time. And unambiguously intentional.)

He'd be replaced by someone with the same politics, but who would not be absolutely incompetent in anything.

As long as Putin is in power, Ukraine is on the way to victory.

"Stops selling fuel" is one thing, but "sells 95 % less fuel than before" is another. Wonder what the number of stations in that bracket are? One in ten?

 

So, PieFed's way of retrieving a post that you're viewing on a "wrong" instance is quite slow for the user. You press the icon with the magnifying glass, scroll to the bottom of the page, read texts on both of the buttons, choose the correct one (Retrieve post), then wait for the page to load – which is suprisingly slow, then paste the URL in the field and press enter, and then wait for the next page to load and still have to press a link.

What I'm envisioning is that if I'm viewing a page such as https://sopuli.xyz/post/32069389 , I could just write "Piefed" in front of the URL, making my browser load the "Retrieve remote post" page with the relevant field prefilled with the URL after that word. So, if the URL says "Piefed https://sopuli.xyz/post/32069389", I then get to the page with a link to https://piefed.ee/post/85356 , enabling me to click that link and get to comment on the post.

This would streamline browsing threadiverse a LOT, because it keeps happening that I find links that throw me to "wrong" instances. Sometimes they are in threadiverse comments, sometimes* they are out there in the big internet. It's an annoying chore having to click a button and wait and click a button and wait and then click a link and wait again. Anything that streamlines this experience would be very welcome!

So, is there a way to make this happen on Firefox? (Also, could we please get the field for writing the URL to fetch right on the Piefed UI? Such as, click "Communities ▾", then throw the link into a field on the bottom of the thing that opens that way (and maybe get to the requested page immediately without having to click an extra link first?)

*) Still very rarely, but it has already happened!

 

I began hitchhiking when I was around 16- or 17-year-old. I was at a summer camp's reunion at someone's place in Nummela, and wanted to try how hitchhiking works.

It was a 24 km ride home, along a straight highway. I got the ride near the Citymarket in Nummela and left near Ikea in Espoo. A beginning that eventually led into me identifying as a hitchhiker :)
