Nato has had advanced drone capabilities for a long time now, but was mainly focused on stealth and reusability rather than mass production. I know drone swarms to accompany stealth fighters and navy ships have been in development for some years now, but the mass use of disposable drones is not something there was a real need for. But I have no doubt that modern infantry training will start including drone usage and tactics, if that isn’t the case already.

I can confirm you can glaze perfectly fine with water. I don’t usually use water, but have done it with a little splash on occasion.

It is, but it’s self governing for the most part. Similar to the Faroe Islands.

The dresscode never changes when you work from home. Although when a video call is necessary, it requires a 50% change.

Yep

You don’t need a paid subscription though. Only to see the results of the wordle bot, if you care for that.

I have been watching Newsradio after seeing a very funny clip, which has Joe Rogan as the IT/maintenance guy. He’s not very funny, but I was surprised it was the same guy as I had only ever heard of him as a podcaster.

Lemmy: very human to use.

It would hardly be a world war. Who would be stupid enough to join on the side of Russia?

Fuck off. Russia considers itself at war with the democratic world. It’s long overdue the democratic world responds in the only way Russia recognizes: brute force.

If that means active engagement from NATO or even individual nations like Poland or France, then so be it.

I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.

I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.

That’s pretty well known. They cut shitty deals with the record labels so they can have a large library. The record companies are making massive bank on Spotify, unlike pretty much every other party involved, including Spotify.

No, not the euro, but China did peg the Yuan to the dollar for years to ensure their exports remained cheap.

China is ok with it because they will insist the Renminbi be used as the brics reserve currency.

Ehm, cake please.

I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.

That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”

Not sure if it’s still open.

I completely forgot I bought that once during a discount, but didn’t even have it installed. Started using it now, thanks.

This is why I decided not to host an instance in the end. Where I live, the laws are such that the hoster is responsible for the content hosted on their servers So if some shitbag posts CP that gets synced to my server and the authorities somehow find out, it would seriously fuck up my life.
