An agreement with Russia isn’t worth the paper its written in. The Kremlin lies as easily as it breathes.

Yeah same! Thought what’s Mint got to do with… Ah right, the Linux Sub

Exactly. If anyone thinks Russia will stop at Ukraine, they’re a fool

I wouldn’t say it’s just more important, I’d say it’s a moral imperative to support Ukraine’s fight for it’s sovereign land over keeping buddy-buddy with a government running rampant with corruption and Russian puppetry

For her part, the chancellor told BBC News that she thought “sustainable aviation and economic growth go hand in hand"

As said in the article, the technology to reasonably decarbonise planes doesn’t really exist yet - so the only path to “sustainable aviation” is to reduce it to the point it can be properly offset by other decarbonisation efforts.

That makes these two concepts almost entirely mutually exclusive without proper planning, and just slapping multiple airport expansions down then saying “It’s fine, we’ll plant a few trees at some point” doesn’t fucking cut it.

It’s easy to say don’t fight back when you’re not the one getting beaten up and mugged

It’s not over-analysis of subtle body movenents, it was a straight up Nazi salute

That’s part of why I asked, cause I’m sceptical they can see it in the first place, never mind that’s its probably not Potato’s actual IP given how much they’re advocating VPN use

Is that for @PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de’s IP?

Cause if they’re working for a VPN company and recomennding you use a VPN, surely they must be using a VPN themselves

Well in that sense you’re breaking the law of your land by commenting on such a forum since we’re on the high seas here if you didn’t notice?

I’m aware of where I am, as I said before I have no problem with piracy - my main point was that just because we’re fine with it, doesn’t just magically make it legal - which is what you were implying.

And no, I didn’t intend to be rude if you’re inferring that but it’s blatantly clear what this forum is for and them being employed by someone who purports to protect their privacy selling such a service but then feigning ignorance

Feigning ignorance of what? That it’s probably not the greatest idea to be flogging around your actual IP address while doing potentially illegal/unlawful activities?

From my PoV, @PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de wasn’t feigning ignorance, the question was a retort to a non-sequitur. One’s view on the validity of laws (i.e. only being illegal cause Disney said so) doesn’t change them - I’ve seen enough “Sov Cits” find that out the hard way to not make that stupid mistake.

No, it’s actually embraced by communities such as this sprouting up. Are you a caveman or something?

Not the same guy, and I don’t mind piracy at all, but being embraced by a community doesn’t make something not illegal.

That’s very much decided by the law of the land you live in, and in most lands it’s classed as a form of theft or copyright infringement, which is illegal.

Also, bit rude to suggest he’s a caveman for making a perfectly valid point

Israel gets all the munitions it wants to enact a genocide, but Ukraine has to fight for every bullet to fight for its own sovereignty against a modern day dictator. The US government’s priorities really are something.

You’d think this would be a fairly cut and dry issue - the countries helping Ukraine wouldn’t like it either if another country started negotiating terms on their behalf (especially not with a monster like Putin).

Ukraine and its people should be the ones to decide their own fate.

I swear people who think otherwise must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

It should’ve been obvious by now whose side Reddit is on, but not allowing neutral reporting on Luigi’s own words is a bit too establishment even for them

The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??

Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.
