Israel flagbearer at Paris Olympics ‘signs bombs’ targeting civilians in Gaza
  • I love how you're being down voted for facts lol. Also as an FYI, Americans know nothing about the oil embargoes on Japan and how Indonesia and the Philippines played into japan's needs. The US choke holded Japan and they had like a year left before everybody would freeze and starve. So Pearl Harbour it was, and they got lucky the US just happened to park all the ships there, they weren't planning on it. But that news isn't taught to Americans. They truly believe it was an unprovoked attack out of the blue.

  • Reports: Russia Hits NATO Member Romania With Kamikaze Drone
  • More than half the world is in support of Russia, mostly because they do not support the USA proxy war or NATO. If by "the whole world" you mean NATO, then not even that considering the support isn't unanimous. The remainder is indifferent, don't really care one way or the other.

  • EU limits anonymous cash payments to €3k and all cash payments to €10k. Pirate party reacts.
  • The US has the same rules, and are a driving force for this. They will enforce the rules the same as they do now for 10k payments. If you want clean money in a bank or if you want to travel with the money, or if you're just randomly stopped and have the money on you, you will be forced to prove its provenance or it will be seized.

    This is already how it works in the EU, UK, Canada, and of course the USA.

    The cash itself isn't the problem, it's getting that cash into a "clean" system where it can be used to buy anything that isn't cash. And with everything being non-cash on purpose because of these Nazi laws, you essentially have worthless paper you can't do anything with.

  • Sidebar update: Civility
  • Similar to reddit, only the popular opinion gets support, everything else gets attacked. Since it is mostly Americans and American politics, it's mostly a very western centric viewpoint that many other parts of the world label as propagandist. It's literally taught in German textbooks for example.

    On reddit the user base is large enough that some alternate opinions got through. Here you get banned or removed if you don't tow the line of America #1.

    Not everyone that disagrees with your viewpoint is a troll. Not everyone that has a global view of the world is a paid Russian bot. Some are very easy to spot as written by LLMs. But most are not.

    I think you're going down a very slippery slope here. All those reddit subs that become echo chambers started this way.

  • Where can I watch the classic B&W Walt Disney cartoons?
  • On your own private media server. If you plan on watching any content that the Mouse owns, you better archive and save it. Because they randomly edit or straight up delete content all the time.

    All the Steamboat willy stuff will never be released on their shitty platform. Just like Song of the South won't be.

  • How I got a truly anonymous Signal account
  • You activate online usually and have to enter credit card details, addresses, etc. If you use a one time card, and an address that doesn't match your name on the account you have to make to you in the personal database, then your sim is blocked until verified. Verification is usually sending them images of government issued ID.

    The sim can usually access their networks to create the account and verify without using data. Meaning if it truly was your only device, it will allow you unlimited data to use the ISP website.

  • How I got a truly anonymous Signal account
  • When was the last time you tried to purchase a burner phone sim in the USA? You can buy them cash only a few places, but are completely useless until "activited" usually with an online account confirming your identity.

  • you can set your watch to it
  • Another reminder that not everything is black and white to the tribal folk of the USA.

    You are allowed to dislike someone on the basis of their character even if they have a certain skin colour, genitalia, or age.

  • Israel Bombs Yemen Saturday in Escalation with Houthis.
  • Being hated for being religious or a certain type of religion IS VERY DIFFERENT than being hated for being genocidal assholes.

    Same way most people don't care for a certain German vegetarian painter's antics in that timeframe, but not the German people.

    Or not liking TV Evangelists because they're greedy assholes that steal from the poor to buy private jets. The fairy stories they peddle are irrelevant.

  • [Mega thread] - Biden ends bid for presidency
  • Disliked Biden, hate Kamala. Voted for them. Kamala and anyone else, nope.

    They need someone hopey and feely like a 2008 Obama. If they don't find that, the Dems are toast. And I can't think of any mainstream politician that could get that reaction apart from maybe AOC. But that would get just as many MAGAs on the other side out to vote and they'd still lose.

    You need empowering Democrat that is neutral to the MTG loving republicans.

    Maybe Newsom? But if I had to bet it will be Kamala and another woman or minority to get the double whammy and they'll surely lose.

  • CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem
  • Issue is definitely corporate greed outsourcing issues to a mega monolith IT company.

    Most IT departments are idiots now. Even 15 years ago, those were the smartest nerds in most buildings. They had to know how to do it all. Now it's just installing the corporate overlord software and the bullshit spyware. When something goes wrong, you call the vendor's support line. That's not IT, you've just outsourced all your brains to a monolith that can go at any time.

    None of my servers running windows went down. None of my infrastructure. None of the infrastructure I manage as side hustles.
