“There’s a certain level of decorum that I expect from political leaders, especially in front of cameras,” Nate Vance - who spent three years volunteering with the Ukrainian military after Russia’s full-scale invasion - told the BBC.

Dude even volunteered.

If the Taliban take over Australia I’ve got bigger issues to worry about than my domain name.

I understand this is a Canadian paper and no offense to Canadians but leading with a warning from Canada is uh not the most threatening of things.

The only must haves are QoL stuff like repricing up weapons, run and gun, jobs menu reworks etc.

Everything else is what flavour you want, Neolithic colony, wh40k gene editing , etc

China is not a developing country, no matter what they want to claim. And are you honestly saying one of the world’s largest economies and capitalist countries isn’t the global elite, pfft.

At the end of the day I want to escape corporate spaces, the more companies that come into the Fediverse the more I’m likely to leave it.

It’s great if some people want to access their content, but you can already do that through their services.

What we don’t have is a purely people focused space on the Internet. We need to be steering the Fediverse in this direction, not seek to emulate what we left.

Evaluate things critically, okay let’s do that.

Pros: Meta doesn’t exist here.

Cons:

Oh fuck off.

“Oh you don’t want to engage with the shitty evil company, you’re the real problem!”

Fucking utter wankstains, everyone one of you pillocks defending federating with Meta are. I’m sick of it and your bad faith arguments.

The US was founded because the king said stop going further west and killing indigenous peoples. They took offense to this and a few years later threw some tea in the water.

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Yeah, sadly no one wants to follow Chaplins foot streps.

no State may use or encourage the use of unilateral economic, political or any other type of measures to coerce another State in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights”

Nope, it’s just stupid. Imagine saying it’s wrong to stop trading with a genocidal dictatorship because their economy is developing.

The idea of people boycotting Apartheid South Africa was probably horrible to the U.N.

That’s stupid.

China considers itself a developing country and weaponises its economy against countries all the time.

Not to mention it’s one of the few strong non-violent actions a state can use to fight for itself.

A draft law introduced on Wednesday seeks to protect the country’s “cultural roots” by promoting “traditional” Christmas and Easter celebrations.

Shouldn’t they go back to worshipping the Roman gods in that case?

Mate, you’ve gotta be trying to be offended to misconstrue what was said so badly.

Just take one look at the world, then say that again.

Do you honestly see religious dominated countries as leading human rights?

What exactly do you expect a space agency to do?

Mate, don’t try and down play the role religion plays in influencing these acts.

Abrahamic religions are especially rife with this sort of sexist bullshit.

There’s a very clear difference between how people are treated in a religious shithole and a secular country.

Kid

I think an important aspect is that it user owned. No corporations involved in any form.
