Because there is such a thing as self-defence. If you are getting bombed by an aggressor, then bombing them back is a necessary thing. This moronic meme doesn't take that into account.
Because it is a pretty basic and factual definition of world war. War occurring in different places in the world at the same time does not equal a world war.
There is no alliance between China and Russia and Iran. Iran is a minor player in this. You are regurgitating Bush "axis of evil" nonsense as if it was actually true. China and Russia doesn't care about Iran, and they were never allied to them. They benefited from Iran in various ways then, they will benefit in various ways from this US disaster.
Unlike the US, China isn't governed by a attention-span lacking moron. They want Taiwan, and will not rest until they have it, but they also don't want a war with the US over it, unless they can be certain to win it. This isn't it.
I know it is an obvious term for you techbros, but kernel means nothing to your average person though. I would doubt most of them would even know what an OS is (especially abbreviated like that).
I'm not seeing any reason why a world war would erupt over this. China and Russia are glad that the US has entered into another stupid military mess, they have no reason to actively engage, the US is destroying itself all on its own.
lemmynsfw was apparently adminned by a single person, who went awol some time ago, and then stopped paying for the servers recently. An example of why instances should not be controlled by one person, but instead some sort of community.
It does highlight a potential problem with the way the fediverse functions, if too many communities are controlled by a single instance. The fediverse was meant to allievate centralisation, but in reality it has only slightly alleviated it (at least for some instances).
How big a percentage of lemmy would be lost if the lemmy.world servers was disconnected in the same way for example?
Because it gives investors in oligarch tech companies a boner and makes the line go up.
