I actually like it. Thanks.

By the sounds of it, they had a lot of miles under their belt.

You have to wonder how they ended up dead? What happened to the EPIRB? Did they not have a PLB? GPS and Portable Radio?

I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there aren’t many pirates in the middle of the Atlantic.

I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don’t have it turned on.

AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.

Petty much the view that Russia’s neighbours see when looking across the border. And the Russians wonder why nobody wants be friends…

Are you sure you are on the right server? I think Lemmy.ml is probably more your bubble.

The Eastern Bloc suffered an enormous drop in living quality following the dissolution of the USSR. Far from reaping a bounty via free market liberty, the people in these countries found themselves the subject of a historic privatization and looting of national treasuries and resources.

This is a black and white perspective. You have to keep in mind that citizens of these countries were significantly worse off as (involuntarily) being part of the USSR than the countries that were not in the Eastern Bloc, and most of them are now significantly better off as part of the EU. Most citizens remember the repression, shortages, and russification all too well.

Sorry, I don’t.

I saw some documentary that suggested that they used to chip straight through fossilized feathers and skin to get to the bones because they didn’t realise what they were.

Thanks tankie operative.

Tankies are out in force today…

You need to see a doctor to get your humanity checked. It seems not to be working.

Russia has repeatedly shown itself to have imperialist ambitions. Just ask Georgia and Ukraine.

Reminds me of Mathcad and Calca

Australian companies being shit at cyber security again.

The bible apparently.

Look up biblical cosmology on Wikipedia.

It’s not about defining it, it’s about giving yourself a pre communicated basis to remove content that may be disagreeable but not strictly illegal.

5.0: Lemmy.World consists of a large number of communities from all around the world, leading our federated network.

This sentence is a little unclear to a native speaker. Maybe change “leading” to “constituting”.

I also suggest that maybe an extra clause could be added to pick up CP related content that may not be illegal, such as drawings, hentai and AI generated content that depicts minors involved in sexual or other inappropriate acts. It doesn’t quite fit into 5.04 as it may not necessarily be illegal (IDK) , or 5.06 as it may not necessarily involve gore or violence.
