Russia is a kleptocracy, a massive mafia state run by a dim-witted dictator. All this vatnik propaganda is wild, man. If their economy is so good, why can’t they build any more T-92s? Why are they using defective artillery shells they bought from NORTH KOREA?! Give me a break!

I think you’re a little confused. Replace Russia with Ukraine and then you’ll be 100% accurate. Being a Russia hater with nonsense like this, doesn’t look well on you. Do some research and you’ll learn that the production lines are booming. Of course you won’t get accurate information from our MSM.

Hey Shadow: Is the mechanism for donations, now active?

OK I’ll check again at the end of June. Tanks.

No player over 4 or 5 mil would be a good start

Yup. I believe Dubas had highly overrated GM skills. Not any experience at the NHL level. It’ll be interesting to see what damage he does to the Penguin organization.

but probably not by the end of this month. Following for sure

Hey Shadow: Is the mechanism for donations, now active?

It was a mine fuckwit, not a grenade.

Thank-you. It’s refreshing to hear someone so positive. 🙏

Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content

Yup. I don’t know if I agree re public content, but perhaps private messages should be encrypted, client side, before sending? That issue is one that bothers me about Mastodon.

No. He wouldn’t be happy with ActivityPub as well. He imagines a social network where no one can perform any moderation. He favours Nostr for exactly that reason. Bluesky has got moderation (just like the Fediverse) - which he dislikes.

So? Like Usenet was back in the day before it became a pirate haven. Then email lists became it. LOL, People tend to ignore the extreme nut jobs regardless. I never saw any child porn on Usenet, but then I didn’t go looking for it. No doubt it existed too.

Two happy mutts!

#Apple explains recent glitch that saw deleted photos appear on iPhones

https://mobilesyrup.com/2024/05/24/apple-explains-recent-glitch-that-saw-deleted-photos-appear-on-iphones/

As for the photos reappearing after a factory reset of the device, there is no confirmed case by Apple about this ever happening, so I wouldn’t take this claim seriously.

OK So probably klickbait. Please don’t hesitate to delete.

With Canada’s policy of keeping the borders wide open and allowing itself to be invaded, what do they need a military for?

The usual scaremongering, Russia is a threat. What they really mean is that they can’t be economically successful when we aren’t. The WEST says it’s a Free Market booster and welcomes commercial competition, but in reality we don’t, it’s all lip service. That’s why successful emerging powers like China, being an economic threat, must be made into a villain and therefore a military threat.

Luke Skywalker said it best, but he was a hologram at the time.

Sorry, but could you explain for this old geezer?

There is a cabal here on lemmy.ca that downvote each post of mine. Regardless of content or opinion. This is called brigading, and it was illegal on Reddit and supposedly here on lemmy.ca too. Ridiculous. This is an example of where I agree with the individual I’m responding to, who received 6 upvotes. Doesn’t bother me as much as it bothers the idiots who downvote. It won’t stop me from speaking truth to power.

I sometimes wonder why we don’t just establish a foreign legion like France, or at least permit foreigners to join as enlisted (not officer ranks) like other countries as a pathway to Canadian citizenship. The risk in active service is a far greater display of commitment to Canada than the average study permit holder, and expanding our recruitment pool to Francophone nations in Africa, and states in the Caribbean would at least help greatly in finding non-specialized enlisted.

I’ve thought the same — at least from the commonwealth. The US Marines do this, as do the UK Royal Marines. However, any Liberal government in Canada has a track record of underfunding and basic neglect of our military. It started with the Liberals in the late 60s when all service members wore the same uniform. We need to get rid of officers too — we’re far too heavy with top brass (generals).

I hope they keep Woll. There’s been some talk about his exercise and stretching routine maybe needing a look. Generally the type of injury he received at the end of game 4, can be prevented, from what I understand.

Did everyone see the trio of TSN sportscasters that worked with him host a 15 minute memories of Darren yesterday? Actually brought me to tears on more than 1 occasion. He was loved even if he was politically incorrect at times. Appeared to have a large personality!

We’re slowly turning into an Authoritarian state. One can’t critique or criticize without being censured. Why? They’re afraid of the truth. Just look at the Ukrainian situation and the fact that we honoured a Nazi in parliament. People should read George Orwell - when I was a kid in grade 8, 1984 was required reading!

This is disinformation
