Interesting! Just a question, are you saying that the Germans were holding back during their bombing runs of London? I’m no history expert, but that doesn’t sound right to me, and if it is, I’d love to know more about it.
I suppose there’s also little reason to siege cities nowadays, given that city walls for defense are no longer a thing.
While I agree with your opinion, you could certainly have been a lot less of a jerk when saying it
Honest question, how does this mesh with sieges of cities in earlier periods of history? When cities would surrender because of sieges. What are the differences?
If votes became truly public
There’s no ‘if’, they already are.
what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made?
The same thing currently stopping them: nothing but time and effort.
Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.
No, anybody can currently do this.
That’s the issue with decentralisation. The info is out there. It’s that or trust a megacorp with it.

It matters when all 3 of them are mortgaged and the mortgages are now more than their actual value.
(Before you blame the buyers for being dumb, realise that due to cultural context and other factors, pretty much the entire middle class is in this sort of situation).
Also the only country besides the Vatican (which arguably isn’t even one) where divorce is straight up illegal.
Well this is talking about Diablo ONE, so…
Those rumours have been around for years, every time he drops out of public view for a while
This was a long anti-tech rant that somehow neglected to mention what their actual issue was and forced me to dive into the links just to get the necessary context to understand what they were talking about. TLDR: Patreon’s moving over to subscription-only and dropping their per-creation billing system because Apple is forcing them to.
Could we actually stay at least somewhat on topic?
300 is the obviously low, official govt estimate. The protestors estimate between 1k - 2k deaths.
Shrug. Probably? It’s not like I’ve heard of her before today.
Probably not an unreasonable fear at the moment?
“I thought the Olympic Games were about sport. No longer,” Russian MP Mariya Butina tells me.
“It’s about politics, religion, everything. It’s very sad because the original idea of the Olympics was to create peace.”
“But Russia has invaded Ukraine,” I point out. “That’s not ‘peace’, is it?”
“Russia has been protecting its people,” Ms Butina responds, echoing the official line here that Russia’s war in Ukraine is all about self-defence.
In reality, the Kremlin’s “special military operation” amounts to the invasion of a sovereign independent nation.
Good to see the media not ‘both siding’ for once.
Yeah, imagine different people having different opinions than you!
It’s about fashion designs. Your buzzwords have about as much relevance here as they usually do in any startup pitch - which is to say, absolutely none.
