By launching his illegal and unprovoked full-scale war of aggression in Ukraine 1,000 days ago this week, not only did Vladimir Putin accelerate the largest war on the European continent since the Second World War, he also sought to rewrite the international order.

This is also why we continue to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, the massive scale-up of humanitarian assistance, and the cessation of violent settlers’ activities in the West Bank in the interests of both Israelis and Palestinians.

Compare and contrast when a UK/French ally commits ethnic cleansing vs when a UK/French geopolitical rival does it.

Also, real absurd that these paragraphs:

In those exceptionally challenging times, we believe that the most pressing global problems need multilateral solutions. After the Bletchley Park AI Summit last year, we will work together to make the AI Action Summit in Paris a success in February.

We will address the challenges and seize the opportunities of AI, and ensure we narrow the digital divide between developed and developing countries.

Are followed by this:

Protecting our populations also requires protecting our planet. We will step up action on climate change through the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Ten years after its adoption, we will keep pushing for the highest possible level of ambition, on the road to COP30 in Belem. The ocean is one lung of our planet. After adopting the BBNJ treaty, we now need to push the ambition further towards the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, next June.

It seems the bridge didn’t see the reply. Might be something worth making a bug report about. (Also, ignore the update profile entry, I clicked the icon by accident)

Your reply is there? Did it just take a while to go through?

One day someone will read the two line sidebar.

If I was to seriously pick a food for ambrosia contender, it’d be a curry, probably rogan josh.

Also, a pudding was not what I expected when I looked up watergate salad, honestly the most American thing I’ve seen today.

The chip butty (with chippy chips) is the closest a human can get to eating ambrosia and it’s sad you’ll never experience it.

Screaming at my single-threaded, synchronous web scraper “Why are you so slow, I have a 4090!”

Why would an RTX 4090 make Python faster?

You can, it’s just that individual accounts need to opt into the bridge.

At this rate, the closest thing to a new Disco Elysium we’re getting is the book on all these disputes.

This might be a db0 issue tbh, here’s that 196 post on .ml and slrpnk and it works fine.

The reason the AI posts works on previous versions is probably (I know nothing about how lemmy-ui works) because lemmy-ui sees a URL with an image extension and puts it in an <img> tag, they must’ve stopped doing in 0.19.6 and stated using the MIME type in the API instead.

It has an algorithm that puts content in front of you, unlike Mastodon where it only puts what you ask for in your feed. I’m convinced that if Mastodon populated people with low following count’s feed with random posts it wouldn’t have bled as many users as it did.

This doesn’t look like a Lemmy issue, the image host is incorrectly reporting an image as an octet-stream. You can’t even trust the file extension, because that image isn’t even a jpeg.

The UK will pledge to cut emissions by 81% compared with 1990 levels by 2035, a target in line with the recommendations of the Climate Change Committee, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Good to hear, given the trajectory of other Western countries it’s nice to see Starmer not underplaying the action needed.

The goal would be achieved by decarbonising the power sector and through a massive expansion of offshore wind, as well as through investments in carbon capture and storage and nuclear energy.

Carbon capture really is going to be this government’s white elephant, isn’t it.

Been playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

It says Your body our choice, a play on the line “my body, my choice” trotted out by fascist yanks to celebrate stripping women of their autonomy.

An elected HoL would probably require a referendum, something we’re all a bit burnt out on, so this probably isn’t going to go anywhere.

You can go to the trouble to learn Rust, and then fight with them to get your modifications accepted or…

Can you actually point to any instances of the devs dragging their feet on accepting changes or is this just conjecture? I’ve contributed to Lemmy, and plan to do so in future, and my experience is that they’re fairly accepting of changes.

It absolutely argues that:

Frei argued to Blair that neither government would benefit if Pinochet were to die in England and that he could be tried in Chilean courts. […] Blair undertook to do what he could within the law provided the exchanges between the two leaders were kept secret. The authors claim that Blair suggested setting up a ‘back channel’, with two people appointed to liaise between the leaders’ private offices.

Skwawkbox links to this Guardian article, which itself is sourced from a book from the time. It doesn’t seem that far-fetched that a renowned negotiator would be involved with a negotiation.

Mods can also see votes in communities they moderate, lemmy-ui just doesn’t show the option (and no other client, to my knowledge, has the feature).
