What is so special about piefed? I see a few communities moving there. The interface looks different from the original lemmy interface.

😆 these guys keep reinventing the metro, the train and the bus…wtf is wrong with them…is it a branding issue, are the busses for the “poors”? Ok, call it the new west coast high-speed dragon rail gun. And the deep tube network and the 2D space shuttle :D

cute

Yeah, no, this one is mother nature throwing a curve ball at putin to tell him that russia is already hard to manage as is, without trying to invade neighbours and fucking with other countries.

Yeah, nobody is getting any real benefits from watching the drama, but the damage they do will keep accumulating.

Yeah, I noticed that too, but the observer and the explorer in the same page show them, so…ok…🧐

Maybe they’re trying to divide the load among different servers, so they don’t serve .world as the obvious default choice.

The most intriguing alt-history stuff I’ve read about it was that the protesters were “lefties” protesting the Dengist attempts at liberalization and confucianist reform, because in one of the videos the protesters were singing socialist anthems e.g. 1st international. It looked like the last gasp of the cultural revolution. But I’m not sure how to check any of this (certainly not from the Chinese archives and the rest of the world only has videos…and the cables you mention), it’s probably just another bullshit story to cover up what happened.

You can already see the severed trade networks start to heal circumventing the US. This is going to be brexit x 100

Yeah, I actually had to try 1+“11” to check that it didn’t give me 12, but thankfully it commutes it’s consistent 😇

Hm, playing devil’s advocate, I think it is because the minus has not been defined as a string operation (e.g. it could pop the last char), so it defaults to the mathematical operation and converts both inputs into ints.

The first is assumed to be a concat because one of the parcels is a string…

It’s just doing a lot of stuff for you that it shouldn’t be in first place 🤭

Most of that looks right, but

Violent overthrow of East Timor (widely considered a genocide)

Ok, this was Indonesia, with murican quiet assent, but still, don’t give other countries a pass on these things to make them look clean.

Many of these also involved the local elites going to the US for help. e.g. The draft UN resolution for the no-fly zone in Lybia was produced by the Arab League and backed by the African Union, which pressured russia and China not to veto it.

Damn, it was like the 2/3rd most active instance

That is one of the wokest things out there: both some dude’s Toyotta Corolla and the Clarence Thomas’ Motor Coach have to share the road and follow the same rules. Everyone is the same before the Highway code. Sounds like communism, can’t have that.
