  • Obviously Britain did the most

  • Poland was conquered by USSR against their will (well. More like betrayed by British and given to USSR)

    Betrayed or at least with their blessing. The Curzon Line, which was the Entente plan after WW1, was reaffirmed before and after the German invasion. The territory Poland annexed in 1921 was effectively 'returned' to the USSR.

  • That pact short-circuited the Anti-Comintern Pact with Japan and is the first thing every WW2 nerd cites in trying to figure out how Hitler could've won the war. It was also a tactic to placate Britain and France that either resulted in, or proved unnecessary by, the Phoney War. Fall Weiss was already finalized to commence before September 1. Molotov-Ribbentrop was done in August.

    Taking that pact out of the context in which it was made just seems odd.

    Or maybe not because I know the Hearts of Irons games portray it (or did) with an 'unholy alliance' option. The games tend to give Nazi Germany massive penalties for not doing it, so the vidya brained think it is what enabled Germany to invade the USSR and/or start WW2. They're fun games when you know how they play with historical events, and brain breaking if you try to learn history from them.

  • At a certain point of wealth inequality under capitalism it becomes more efficient to make everyone else poorer than to acquire more wealth.

  • thoughts on this insider threat case?

  • The process that's being executed to run the burner would be a clue, based on my experiences (limited) and knowledge (also limited). For windows, if the outright windows burner was used then there'd be system logs for that. If another program were used, well, that begs more IT security questions about permissions.

    I have whole months of experience using Linux, so, no idea there.

  • Sounds like a flood control for community creation would be appropriate.

    It used to be in the early days instances would vet users at signup. Is there no mechanism for an instance admin to do the same for the creation of a community? They just can't be vetted before creation?

  • That got built and implemented before that problem was realized and removed? Damn.

    Even so, if the system is tracking votes as reputation, how were the anonymous votes actually tracked? That hash either hid the user or it didn't.

  • It seems the chief complaint people have about Lemmy going to Piefed are how admins operate their instances. Not sure any of this will change that, or even help.

    Not to mention all these are just a game for trolls and spammers to tool around with. Like: Up/downvotes were built before vote manipulation became a problem.

    This stuff is the difference between building a bridge and governing who crosses it.

  • Thanks, I couldn't tell that was a bird at first and then the badger was confusing me. Now I know and get it.

  • thoughts on this insider threat case?

    Jump

  • Some operational security questions: What's this trainee doing? Why was it a trainee noticing things being put in backpacks? Why was the trainee the one notifying security?

    Are there protocols in place for media being brought in or out of the facility and its workstations? Why or why not? Was the trainee the only one who reviewed them recently enough to notice a breach and alert?

    But most importantly and at any rate you don't do the grand heist on the last day. Rookie move.

  • They self-negotiated themselves into a deeply compromised ACA after getting a supermajority, and when they had a majority they were brought to their knees by... the parliamentarian. A staffer, essentially.

  • It's a tabloid, so expectations should probably be starting at unfounded hyperbole.

  • People keep comparing what we're seeing now to Nazi Germany. They're not wrong. The resemblance is undeniable.

    Jump

  • True, but the major powers all did forced 'reparations' from Germany. Paperclip involved the other Allied and colonial powers too.

    Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim

    The Allies were absolutely more favorable to surrendering Nazis, no question, but let's not act like Paperclip was somehow unique or exceptional.

    It's more salient, I think, that the Nazis concept of Lebenstraum was inspired by American Manifest Destiny, as did Jim Crow laws for the Third Reich's legal implementation of genocidal policies.

  • It's referring to Vance and Rubio, the natural heirs to the throne, who are considered to be rivals in that role. They will apparently be attending, with a squadron of ICE, the games in Italy.
