Why sustain all those nasty pink pricks and self questionings when you can simply have hundred or thousand of horrendous deaths so smoothly ? /S

We do agree that the war is bad and we do agree why it is bad.
We will not agree on the causes of the war - - it will take many, many years of peace, for the fog of war to dissipate, on both sides, before we see what really happened.

As long as you are against the war, against the invasion of Ukraine, even if you are pro-russia, we may discuss and agree on things.

After 3 years of senseless war, you must agree it was a bad thing that russia started this war, bad both for Ukraine and for russia.

Also, thanks for the sources you provided ... i will check them out :

MediaZona and Oryx ...

These are the sources you gave in this thread ... i can't find anything wrong about those now ... but since you've been banned from this community, maybe someone else will discuss it eventually.

Why don't go straight to Russian television ?
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/telesur/
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence.

Thanks for this detailed analysis.

As for my comment, it was from an extremely simplistic reasoning (that you could call borderline dumb but probably not neoliberal 🤣).
My reasoning was that, if their costs goes up (because of tariffs) and they have to sell at the same price, so, making a loss on every sell, eventually, they would go bankrupt.

Thanks for your reply - - i wish for Europe to rearm and for the coalition to push russia back. For this to happen, there has to be hope. While it is possible your sources could be better verified, there is no absolute proof of real numbers during war. Let's keep hope and try to be true.

PlayStore Review :
This app installed without my permission. There is barely any info about what this app is for. I have all my settings turned off so it asks my permission before downloading anything, and this app still manage to get installed without consent. This is a very shady thing to do. This and another 2 apps also from google (e.g. SafetyCore) that just installed without permission. If my settings mean nothing, this is very worrying. No heads up, nothing.

It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern.

Ant mill (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Collective behavior leads to both collective intelligence and collective stupidity. This also applies to artificial intelligence (artificial neurons) and biological neurons (in my opinion).
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/26059204

An ant mill is an observed phenomenon in which a group of army ants, separated from the main foraging party, lose the pheromone track and begin to follow one another, forming a continuously rotating circle.

 

Best for user experience :User want material that is :

  • newly published, and
  • classified using a hierarchy of methods.

Lemmy has :

  • communities
  • post
  • comments and

which constitutes such a hierarchy of classification and engagement tools.

Design Flaws + Solutions

Notwithstanding the following :
Despicable//illegal posts should absolutely be deleted. Same from likely comments. But aside from that ...

Features creating user disengagement and disinterest :

Arbitrary deletions :
Since not following communities rules results in posts being deleted. Since this includes active conversation inside such posts. Since such community rules are quite arbitrary and difficult to judge by moderators. ... There has to be a better way than deleting such posts in such circumstances.

Design proposal :

Post unlinking // relinking :
A better design would allow moderator's action (or even bad enough vote totals) to unlink an off-topic-post from a community without deleting it from the instance (site).

Multi-linking of posts :
Better yet, a single post could be simultaneously linked to many communities even across many instances while maintaining one single global space of conversations.

Automatic anti-duplication
Creating duplicates of a post should be prevented automatically ... what should be prevented is the creation of new post linking to the same web page (same URL) as an already existing post does ... unless maybe with special permissions or if made after a long enough elapsed time.

New design's benefits :
This should result in a better user experience by grouping all discussions from one topic inside a unique post ... not dividing into multiple concurrent discussions, almost simultaneously, inside different (( posts // communities // instances )) what is in fact a single topic.
This would also provide peace of mind against arbitrary deletions.

Benefits for moderators
This would also decrease some drama (user to moderator feuds) and simplify moderator's work.

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances comprises three substantially identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994, to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The three memoranda were originally signed by three nuclear powers: Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. The memoranda, signed in Patria Hall at the Budapest Convention Center with U.S. Ambassador Donald M. Blinken amongst others in attendance, prohibited Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations."...

Danish campaigners are proposing to buy California from the United States and turn it into a territory of Denmark in response to Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland. The 'Denmarkification' campaign says it seeks to crowdfund $1 trillion to purchase the US state, after which it plans to instill it with Danish values and make the most of its sunny weather and resources.

(...) Bosses from Danish toy giant Lego would run talks between the US and Denmark, Dutoit told Politico, because 'dealing with children throwing tantrums over missing bricks has made them experts in negotiation.' (...)

 

i cannot add more blocked users so i went one by one through that list ... starting from the first one i blocked. Not surprisingly, looking at each account, they are either Banned or have No Activity Since ~1 year.

Eventually there could be some site maintenance for [ Banned + Empty ] accounts so to clean our block lists accordingly ...

Some other optimization of this type could be made ... i believe it would free the server from useless work since the server have to compute removing according to Long Block Lists ... this task could be heavy in server work ...

What do you think ?
