You mean you are?

Tell me, have you ever left your flyover state or what?

Attacking Poland would be a stupid thing to do even if Poland wasn’t a member of NATO.

The Russians can barely fight a war on one front, opening a second front would be insanely stupid.

Poland has all the same weapons Ukraine has, plus an air force capable of hitting the broad side of the barn.

What am I saying of course they’re going to do it. This is the country that thinks that orbitally dropping unguided bombs constitutes an effective military strategy.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It’s just an instance thing.

At the very least it decreases the possibility they’ll accidentally hit the wrong country and start world war III.

The inaccuracy on this is so high that they might accidentally hit Antarctica.

Perhaps the bombs can clear out some of the Chinese booster on the way down?

I think they were being a bit unreasonable in expecting everyone else to have verified sign-ups. It would be prohibitively difficult to verify all of the users especially with the recent influx.

If the other instances had tried that I think Lemmy would be dead on arrival. It would have taken so long to verify each user that most people would have got bored by the time they’re approval came through and would never have even bothered signing in.

I do wish there was a convenient way to move your account from one instance to another.

When I chose my instance I didn’t really know what I was doing so I just picked something at random, and unfortunately the instance I picked isn’t exactly physically close to where I lived so the load times are a bit slow. Although they’re still faster than Reddit so 🤷

It prevents any website being able to run intercepts on pasting. This is good when they’re using it to just prevent you from doing it for no real reason but there are many situations where you don’t want a user to be able to arbitrarily just drop text into a text field.

The big one is 2fa. A lot of the time you might need to enter a five digit code and each number may need to be entered into a particular box if you just click in the first box and press paste after copying the code from an email then it’ll paste the entire contents into that one box. You don’t want that you want some code to automatically paste each letter into each subsequent box, that requires you intercept the original paste command.

My cat likes to invert her spine into a kind of gel substance and then stick her face down the side of the bed between the wall.

I am fairly sure that she is perfectly happy with having a whiskers compressed, what she’s not happy about is having less food.

What an earth would be the point in going to uni if you can’t drink?

Which will work fine right up into your phone explodes. You don’t punch a pinhole to deflate bulging batteries you replace the battery. The bulging isn’t dangerous in and of itself, the bulging is a symptom of a problem you are ignoring.

They don’t like federating with instances with open signups

It’s won’t be meta quality, it’ll be us talking about DnD and posting about baked beans. The Meta lot (your parents) won’t get it.

If we start getting stupid stuff, then defederate by all means.

Yeah of course you can block communities but you can’t block entire instances which of course is what we’re talking about.

How is an instance going to let you hide communities that would have to be an app feature

Cabbage + brain damage

When WW3 starts, and the nukes are dropping, someone will update Wikipedia with an article that says “the world ended August 4th 2023”.
