@DotardTed Using warships as transport just a few kilometers away from the active war zone, what can possibly go wrong?
Then again nothing would top that ammo stash in the yard of a civilian building used as hospital. I have very low expectations when it comes to underhanded tactics used by Russia in its operations, but this was too much even by my standards 🤦

@theorytoe Royal mail would be Challenger then, right? I wonder what Pony Express is? 🤔

@threat I think originally these thumbnails were just random stills taken from the middle of video so people often had these stupid facial expressions and what we see now is just an homage to that 😆

@moffintosh Thanks for posting this, I've always wanted to find this POV elaborated on, I've seen it many times in tweets, but of course it wasn't detailed enough.
I don't think that this movie is about "finding new family" — that's just stupid, but I don't think it's about Nazi cult either — it's too straightforward, more likely it cleverly exploits this contradiction.
Nice notes about the director's cut, I've only seen the theatric version — went to see random movie with a friend and got this🤪

@moffintosh
Is this the show in which she was cleaning protagoinst's ears in the first episode and he was touching her fluffy tail?

@Robert_R_Freitag_II@mastodon.social Another fun fact, name in one of the fake passports revealed after his offices in St.Petersburg were searched already came up in an investigation published years ago. This was the name of one of VIP clients registered in a clinic allegedly belonging to one of Putin's daughters, no one knew who that was, turns out it was him so he was already living under a fake name 🤪
@SocraticEthics

@Robert_R_Freitag_II@mastodon.social One of the most probable outcomes for him.
BTW he was already considered dead by many after a rumoured plane crash in Africa — he went missing for a couple of years, then some plane likely belonging to him was searched somewhere in Europe (don't remember where), this hinted he was still alive and then he somehow came back from the dead when the invasion started.

> According to the Rothschild family…
This article doesn't cite any sources. Lionel de Rothschild didn't have a child named Joachim, only mentions of Joachim Rothschild (or Thunberg) I could find are articles that link back this one as a source. Wikipedia claims that Greta's grandfather is Olof Thunberg, not Joachim.
I'm not a fan of Greta's, but this looks completely made up 🤷

@augustus Can't we scrape it by feeding them retinal movements of my cats?
Don't ask why, Bibliogram did exist for a reason… Probably 😅
@apropos @Eiregoat

@gemlog No, I do download stuff too — movies and such, but I barely watch them anyway so I just seed them til I run out of space and have to delete some of it. Well, at least someone else benefits from my fast connection, I also have an external IP-address — that's why I'm able to host my stuff without paying extra for it, and it's important for torrents too as everyone can establish a connection to you.

@gemlog Until I've decided to give another ISP a try — these guys have told me that colors of the wires weren't there just for kicks, that it wasn't called twisted pair for nothing, the wires are twisted in a very specific way to reduce interference, that I have to use particular wires, not just match them at both ends 🤣
So now I finally have a 100 Mbps connection and that comes in handy as I host Plemora now. and I'm also into Bittorrent, but I'm mostly seeding.

@gemlog No, I don't mean that we should all go live in the woods offline, but I'd probably be fine with something like LoRa in the said woods. It was only five years ago when I finally fixed my home connection to be 100 Mbps — until then I've been paying for a plan that was like 30 Mbps (cheapest one anyway), but I've been using only 10, I was pretty sure that my cable was just damaged, but it's embedded in the was I never cared enough to fix that.

@jeff I don't remember the details, it was in mid to late 2000s, like 15 years ago or so — it was way easier back then, browsers didn't have preloaded HSTS lists (or whatever that shit is called?) — that's for sure, HTTPS wasn't even enforced, most probably it was plain HTTP web-server that did a redirect to another domain, somehow worked.
At least they couldn't start watching it while I was in the other room — damn, it sounds so childish now 😂
@dushman @mjdxp

@gemlog There are days when I'm just hanging around Fedi all day, losing connection on such a day would be a bummer, but otherwise I'm mostly fine — barely depend on these things, use them only as means of communication like one is supposed to.
Losing Wikipedia would be a pity though, you're right about that.

@gemlog I'm not even relying on it as on source of knowledge — I still mostly read paper books, I never was into streaming, I have an extensive collection of music and a lot of it on CDs, I have movies and TV shows that I won't be able to watch through in a couple of years I think.
During COVID summer I've been living with GPRS-like connection in terms of bandwidth, but I barely used even that. Not really off grid, as I still had electricity and sometimes even running cold water. It was nice.

@davidrevoy
Meta: let us all be Threads now. Oops, I mean friends, sorry. Yeah, friends! 😏

@gemlog Yeah, it's not that bad these days – there is room for maneuver!

@gemlog w3m is still useful for websites without JS — Nitter is perfectly usable in it and with sixel-capable term you can even have inline images.
There are in fact a lot of websites the work well in w3m, but we'd better migrate to Gemini anyway and leave the web to corporate AI-cloud bullshit 🤪
