3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

The game is quite long for how limited the gameplay is. Combat had an interesting rhythm gimmick but it should have been a 5-6 hour, tight experience, not 10-12. It really outstayed its welcome for me given that the game is just combat arenas and cutscenes.

Apart from that combat could be broken by spamming companion abilities once you unlocked them all, it didn't feel like there was any reason to use different combos than 2 or 3 that worked fine.

I end up with the feeling that the hype around the game comes mainly from the unfair closure of a studio that did something that wasn't just following trends.

People hold the game up as an example of what's wrong with the cash grabbing nature of big publishers in the industry, but I just don't think it's a good game at all.

Honestly impressed by the achievement. This was an incredibly difficult map. And a lot of fun to watch. A bit sad that scrapie didn't make it up very far, but nice that he decided to cast in the end.

Hi all,

I had this laptop (Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6), and when it had Debian, it would just go flat on sleep, and even when powered off. So strange. I checked all BIOS settings etc, but could never figure it out.

I moved it to Fedora, and it was perfect. Battery life was boosted like crazy, acted as it was meant to.

However, I have tomove away from Fedora, due to them dropping X11 (it's an accessibility issue I'm facing with my tools) and I forgot about said issue with Debian.

Back on Debian now, woke up, powered on laptop, which was fully charged last night, and it's flat again.

What is it, that Debian is doing differently, that is making it go flat, when powered off?

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Last week, the US president urged Brazilian authorities to end their prosecution of the country's former President Jair Bolsonaro.

(If he disagrees, he can show proof with the list he’s hiding)

Republicans in congress are beginning to call out Trump (mostly the far-right sadly) BUT even Trump supporters are beginning to leave the GOP. This could be a great opportunity to shift them to the left (and have them leave their bigotry ofc).

We need to be on top of this. Like the Republicans with Hunters laptop, we need to call the fuck out of Trump.

It was a rather sombering thread, that echoed quite a bit of what I've been saying about .ml, the Triad, general toxicity of their Tankie "ideology" for months now.

I know @[email protected] was speaking of general toxicity, but the Triad is a huge chunk of it, the culture they create...festers it. They comprise the bulk of the hostility, I've personally seen it over and over and over again. All the "Just go back to Reddit" or "just another lib Redditor refugee" comments for someone that dared to have nuance.

Hell, I saw hex users fucking cheering .ee's shutdown because it was some sort of psyop/CIA/fed/lib/"They didn't perfectly agree with me" instance. They call feddit.org a "Nazi Zionist" instance for the crime....of not wanting to be arrested and complying with German law...

I haven't looked to see if they've started any "celebratory" posts about Dubvee yet and I also don't really want to, if they're there, I already know what they're going to say in it -_-

Unfortunately, I fear the problem was far worse than I thought.

Ptz speculated that the toxicity has "metastasized". And you know what? He might be right, it seemed to be a lot better off 2 years ago, now....now I feel we might be losing the battle against the toxicity and I don't think PieFed will be enough. Complacency has set in

My hope was that with enough instances defederating from .ml and the rest of the Triad, it would be a tad easier to take down toxic Tankies, trolls and their alts. But, few wanted to burn the bridge with the toxic main devs' instance and now it might be too late. (Cheers to @[email protected] and the lemmy.cafe instance, one of the few of note to actually defederate from the entire triad!)

Like ptz said and I fully agree with, this place started with promise 2 years ago, but it appears to be ultimately morphing into 4chan (or like I've been saying, Voat 2.0) after all

Oh well, I've got some thick ass skin so I'll probably be here till the end, till the last sane instance shuts down.

I'll see you there @[email protected]

/Sadmemerant

Heck, maybe I'll do a hail Mary and start an instance on a custom fork of lemmy with "normie proof" onboarding while dumping a few hundred in ADs (Maybe even on Reddit itself, HA!). I'll flood this place with "normies" LMAO

[...]

China’s unfair trade measures against Australia have indeed ceased, but its broader strategy of compulsion is unchanged. It is still applying pressure through implicit coercive threats, military intimidation and exploitation of political and economic vulnerabilities.

[...]

Since taking office in 2022, the government of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has restored diplomatic dialogue with China. In doing so, it has aimed for the goal of ‘stabilisation’ and been guided by the principle of cooperating with China where possible and disagreeing where necessary. Communication between national leaders and their teams is indeed vital, so the repairing of ties has been a clear positive.

But structural asymmetry in the relationship persists. China still pursues its objectives through coercion. The cessation of tariffs on Australian wine and the lifting of import bans on beef and lobster during the government’s first term in office has been welcome, but they distract from Beijing’s strategic use of implied threats to influence Australian decision-making.

In the first two decades or so after the Cold War, European countries mistakenly thought deeper economic ties with Russia would reduce its propensity towards tension and conflict. Globally, most countries made just the same miscalculation in regard to China, thinking that bringing it into the multilateral international system would promote its political liberalisation and stifle any latent aggression. Later they saw that China had begun changing the multilateral system to suit itself—and that its territorial ambitions had become ever more obvious.

Now Australia is obdurately making the same mistake again.

[...]

Because the government isn’t candid, there’s little public understanding of China’s coercive behaviour. Canberra gives the impression that punishment is coercion only when it’s in effect—so, now that Beijing has restored trade rights and ministerial communications, coercion has ended.

Wrong. The threat of future punishment is a potent and ongoing form of coercion. Beijing relies on implicit threats to influence foreign decision-making, and it knows that the tactic works. It punished South Korea in 2017 for accepting deployment of a US THAAD missile-defence battery. Seoul stood its ground. But years later, South Korean law enforcement cited fears of renewal of the 2017 economic sanctions as one justification for punishing a South Korean company for helping Taiwan to build submarines.

[...]

This form of latent coercion is subtle but potent. Australia’s decision to suspend two cases in the World Trade Organization against China just before expected rulings in its favour allowed Beijing to avoid international censure and save face. Australia missed a chance to learn from both Japan and the Philippines, which not only began international cases against China but had the courage to see them through. In doing so they defied China’s pressure and achieved rulings that identified behaviour in breach of international rules.

China itself pursued, and won, a WTO case against Australia on steel. So Australian obsequiousness achieved not reciprocal goodwill but a reputational win for Beijing. Australia also lost an opportunity to reinforce global rules in its WTO case.

Relationships depend on a willingness of all sides to compromise. But why should China compromise with Australia when it can stand its ground and wait for Australia to retreat?

[...]

Beijing’s coercion of Australia has not ended; it has evolved. Pressure through trade measures has been replaced with implied threats, military intimidation and the systematic use of narratives that portray Australia, not China, as the party whose exercise of sovereign decisions puts the future of the relationship at risk. Australia cannot afford to misread this moment. Strategic clarity, not diplomatic comfort, must guide the next phase of Australia’s China policy.

The era of seeing China through the narrow lens of economic opportunity ended long ago. We must not return to it.

[...]

Australian politicians and officials need to show long-term resolve, make the necessary commitments to strengthen national resilience and prioritise the national interest. By doing so, Australia can weather Beijing’s pressure. The short-term costs of occasionally upsetting Beijing and risking some economic pain are small compared with incrementally losing our strategic freedom in a region in which power and influence will be heavily contested for many years to come.
