Right? It's the cops with the guns and the gas canisters, not the protestors.

And the protests are well into the thousands, yet only a few dozen arrests, and no reports of serious police injuries or death (if anything like that had happened, news everywhere would have been plastered wall-to-wall with that story). On the other hand, plenty of reports of protestors and media being harmed by police weapons. That is less violence and injury than after a major sports game.

More accurate title would be:

Note: article is from Sep 2023, so yes it is related, but not necessarily that they had used it to cover anything related to this weekend's events.

Finally the NYT is starting to publish something that discusses labour and class solidarity, over the usual corporate interests.

All it took was a union leader being unfairly detained under a fascist usurpation of power.

The idea behind the new elected judge system is to help eliminate that and allow more capable people than just the elite and well-connected to the courts.

What involvement did the US have in that specific "Spider Web" operation?

  • It was planned by Ukraine over a year and a half, without a peep to US authorities.
  • It was conducted by Ukrainian SBU saboteurs in Russia who were extracted after by Ukraine without international assistance.
  • The drones and accessory equipment were produced in Ukraine. The munitions may have been produced elsewhere, not sure.
  • The software is open source Ardupilot.

Fact of the matter is, if Russia ceased their aggression before the end of May, they would have been able to keep their valuable strategic aircraft. Many of these craft, including the AWACS, were involved in the long-range air-strikes that Russia was conducting on Ukraine, so these are fair targets. No Russian civilians or military personnel were severely injured or killed in that operation, so Putin can Crimea River about it.

Promises made, promises kept.

Unlike the Democrats, Trump and the Republicans didn't abandon the Somali-American community. They are actively attacking it.

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.

I'm planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person's hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I'd think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I'd want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.
