cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions
@petrescatraian@libranet.de out of curiosity, what client are you using, is it just the friendica web interface? presumably it doesn’t render the image that the post URL points at, which is why you put it again in the body? (or did friendica just do that automatically? 🤔)
also it’s from the spammer’s “staging” instance, so the payload is a URL with a staging hostname which doesn’t even resolve 🙄
The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.
I believe the US lets people enlist at 17 (with parental consent) but they don’t deploy them to combat before they’re 18.
I encourage you to you watch this movie, btw.
And see also:
You’re ignoring the fact your article also doesn’t provide source
Which article are you saying doesn’t provide a source? I see only two articles linked in this thread and they both refer to several sources 🤔
I am sincerely baffled as to what your perspective about this story is.
Do you believe that EU and US officials are spreading Russian propaganda via the Associated Press about Russia supplying drones to Iran (which, as you said earlier, you believe they do not in fact have the ability to manufacture) and therefore Russia’s denial is actually true but also part of their cunning plan to deceive us?
Or what?
Of course Russia denys it
But… just a few hours ago didn’t you deny it too? 🤔
(“No they aren’t” was your first comment in this thread)
No they aren’t, Russia wouldn’t have purchased thousands of Iranian drones if they could produce them domestically.

Russia put out propaganda
The original link in this post is to an article by the Associated Press (syndicated on a website owned by Bell Canada) and it cites “U.S. and European officials” as its primary source to support the claim made in the headline that Russia is supplying drones to Iran.
I’m curious: did you call this Russian propaganda after reading only the headline, without actually realizing who is saying what here?
Correct me if I’m wrong but I suspect that after you read the article and see that Russia in fact denies sending drones to Iran (and says the seven trucks they just sent have food and medical supplies) you’ll probably change your mind and decide that they probably are in fact sending drones.
I’m a little hesitant to use that link, wasn’t there recently something about a lot of archive websites using visitors for ddos attacks or something similar?
The archive site recently caught doing ddos attacks was archive.today (which also uses the domains .fo, .is, .li, .md, .ph, and .vn). This is a site run by a pseudonymous individual since 2012. Here is the wikipedia article about them.
The link in my comment above is to archive.org, which is a very reputable organization called The Internet Archive which has been operating since 1996. Here is the wikipedia article about them.
Know the difference :)
(Also btw, while the latter is older, larger, and vastly more credible, the former uses different archiving techniques which enable them to have archives of many things which the latter doesn’t. So, it does continue to also be a useful tool, albeit one of last resort.
yfw you find out getting access to a compiler requires an ID check

first, you’re in a country where this once happened 😬
I am a white European Spanish woman
Race is a social construct, and in the eyes and ears of your friend’s racist dad you are apparently not white (even if he might have classified you as white if he had only your appearance to go by and hadn’t seen your name).
unfortunately, like its predecessor (Nokia’s Maemo/Meego), Jolla’s SailfishOS has never been (and has never had plans to be) fully free/libre open source software.
many components of it are freely licensed, but not nearly enough to constitute an actual mobile operating system you can use.
yes, i linked to the wikipedia article where i got those figures from
The headline VW to shift from cars to missile defence in deal with Israel’s Iron Dome maker strongly implies that they are going make less cars as a result of their military business, but the article actually says this “shift” is at one of their car factories which they had planned to shut down next year.
The article also neglects to mention some relevant information about the VW Group such as its origins and who owns them today (although they are a publicly traded company, the Qatari sovereign wealth fund, the German state of Lower Saxony, and the Porsche family respectively own 10.4%, 11.8%, and 31.9% of the shares, and the Porsche family holds 53.3% the voting shares).
what happened next? (do the terms actually allow you to cancel it immediately for no cost, or is their $10-per-month-for-nothing offer an alternative to paying a cancellation fee?)
(well actually) you forgot Poland
POV: You haven’t updated Arch for 5 minutes
Comparing the date on the tweet with the date when arch released go-2:1.26.1-1, it appears that it had been over a week since the last upgrade.
freeloading is already a verb in english, and not the one you’re looking for
