OP, if you feel the need, please call for help if you need it.
I wrote Pink Floyd off after Roger Waters supported Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
By the sounds of it, they had a lot of miles under their belt.
You have to wonder how they ended up dead? What happened to the EPIRB? Did they not have a PLB? GPS and Portable Radio?
I don't know for sure, but I suspect there aren't many pirates in the middle of the Atlantic.
I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don't have it turned on.
AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.
Isn't this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that's bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that's catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, "Don't pick up pennies in front of a steamroller."
Petty much the view that Russia's neighbours see when looking across the border. And the Russians wonder why nobody wants be friends...
Are you sure you are on the right server? I think Lemmy.ml is probably more your bubble.
The Eastern Bloc suffered an enormous drop in living quality following the dissolution of the USSR. Far from reaping a bounty via free market liberty, the people in these countries found themselves the subject of a historic privatization and looting of national treasuries and resources.
This is a black and white perspective. You have to keep in mind that citizens of these countries were significantly worse off as (involuntarily) being part of the USSR than the countries that were not in the Eastern Bloc, and most of them are now significantly better off as part of the EU. Most citizens remember the repression, shortages, and russification all too well.
Black people aren’t Black people. They’re people.
This! I couldn't believe it when I had to answer a question about race on the entry card into the US.
I get asking about skin color. It's like hair color, or eye color, but race? So many assumptions and biases just in that one word (race).
He knows how to delegate to people who are smarter than him. He also knows the importance of 'tone at the top' in getting the best out of his team. This is what makes him the better candidate.
I saw some documentary that suggested that they used to chip straight through fossilized feathers and skin to get to the bones because they didn't realise what they were.
Israel told Gazans in Rafah to move towards Al-Mawasi because it was a humanitarian area, but several of those who did say the aid they were promised has not arrived.
Firefighter here. Brush and gently vacuum your smoke detector. Insects are attracted to the LED and can set off the alarm. They may be very small. Dust can also set it off.

It's even better than that. It's a computer's version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story which was then front-paged by a computer.
OP, please reword your post to be an open-ended question.

I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.
Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.
So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?
The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.
As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.
