maynarkh, to comicstrips in Banned books

Most people don’t live in the US and don’t know or care about US military abbreviations.

maynarkh, to maliciouscompliance in Trans men enter Miss Italy contest to protest anti-trans ‘women from birth’ rule

They are trans men, who the organizers consider women as opposed to the trans women who can’t compete because they consider them men.

maynarkh, to news in Biden says Netanyahu must change, Israel losing global support

We could go an have a piss-fight between the warcrimes of Russia and the warcrimes of Israel.

The US can be the bad guy in one conflict while be on the good side on another. Imperialism is bad, whether it’s Russia or the US doing it.

Also, Hamas are war criminals as well. No good guys fighting there ATM.

maynarkh, to maliciouscompliance in The coupons have been applied, as requested

It’s weird that everything is sanitized soulless corporate shit nowadays that small ramdom displays of humanity in humor are out of the norm.

maynarkh, to asklemmy in People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?

Not really the case in most of the EU.

It doesn’t count obviously if it’s a misplaced item and the price is clearly labelled for another item. However, if a store leaves discount stickers on some product late, or mislabels some price, they are obligated to sell at that price. There is caveat that it only works if the price is believable, but I managed to get a ton of shrimp that just arrived at a Lidl 90% off one time. Family was eating shrimp for weeks.

maynarkh, to memes in You do know you can just click the "reject all" button, right?

You could send that in a HTTP header, with the stipulation that the server responding would accept the terms.

maynarkh, to privacy in On the fence about the importance of privacy? Start researching articles about using advertising data points(example article linked)

An extreme (and hilarious) example of the power of hypertargeting was featured in AdWeek last year, when a marketing pro targeted his roommate with ads so specific the poor guy thought he was being cyberstalked.

Yeah, it’s hilarious, not at all depressing. I’m laughing all the way to a fascist dictatorship.

maynarkh, to mildlyinteresting in A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies

I’d bet on the worms over the oligarchy

maynarkh, to linux in LXD now re-licensed and under a CLA

Red Hat kills X11

I mean Red Hat does bad things, but is switching to Wayland a bad thing?

maynarkh, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

I think that’s why it says “emergency”. Asking for help is okay, dumping your problems over to me so it’s my “emergency” is not.

You can ask for help and give me some of your work, but not your responsibilities.

maynarkh, to asklemmy in Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?

Are political questions out of scope for this community? There is no rule like that in the sidebar.

maynarkh, to news in NATO should be ready for ‘bad news’ from Ukraine, Stoltenberg warns

3 day special military operation.

maynarkh, to news in China deployed over 1,700 military planes around Taiwan in 2023

It’s a shitty Newsweek headline, is it 1700 planes or 1700 flights? The PLAAF does not even have 1700 planes I think.

In either case, this is worrying. One more reason Ukraine must be successful in its defence, to show that military expansionism is not a viable ideology today.

maynarkh, to asklemmy in Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?

OP is referring to the fact that the Ukrainian parliament was cozying up to the West, as the West was trying to get it as a close trade partner, which would have circumvented Ukraine’s reliance on Russia, effectively pulling it from Russia’s shrinking sphere of influence over to the West. Also, the revolution that started the open conflict has allegedly had a lot of clandestine support from the US.

maynarkh, to memes in It's a simple world view

The USSR totally knew about climate change being a thing. Climate change is not a “new thing”. Oil companies have known about it for almost a century now, they built their oil rigs to withstand rising sea levels for example.

The USSR did know about it as well, at least since the sixties: www.gla.ac.uk/media/Media_329370_smxx.pdf

Fedorov’s article appears to be one of the earliest direct engagements with the problems associated with climate change and, more specifically, anthropogenic climate change in the Soviet Union. However, this theme received more concerted discussion and debate from the early 1960s. Two meetings of particular note took place in Leningrad in April 1961 and June 1962, both of which were organised by the Main Geophysical Observatory in tandem with the Institute of Applied Geophysics and the Institute of Geography and brought together a range of Soviet scientists, including geographers, in order to discuss the ‘problem of the transformation of the climate’ (see Gal’tsov, 1961; Gal’tsov and Cheplygina, 1962).
