I mean, yeah it’s easy to scrape public networks, but my question is: so the fuck what?

If you don’t want anything or anyone to scrape your content, don’t publish anything on the internet. Ever.

Yeah I voted for the Ca-Caw Party

Thanks for the explanation! I really had no idea about any of this.

After listening to the interview on that Excursion Around The Bay video I got interested in hearing more of the accent so I went and dug up more videos and ran into this https://youtu.be/yl9hQpG_c34

That accent is a delight. It’s so interesting.

Everything’s got to be about politics here.

NOOOOO I’M GOING TO SUE YOU IN LEMMY COURT

Yes

Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

Can someone explain this to a dirty Yuropean peasant like me?

No

Also, if Animal Crossing looks inappropriate, I’d love to know what they think is appropriate.

“Reposting content without prior permission”?

His accusations really aren’t that far off from what I’ve seen from eg. some Finnish officers – not specifically related to the drone unit but to the Ukrainian military itself.

While I have no doubt that there are a lot of very professionally run units in Ukraine, quite a few of them still have many of the issues that come with being a post-Soviet military. They’re not quite as egregiously bad as Russia’s, thankfully, but when the general staff and a lot of the senior officers are mainly Soviet-trained, it’s hard to get rid of that sort of thinking

The hell did you want me to call it then? “Military service” is a completely common expression to use, and it applies whether we like what they’re doing or not.

And before you get any bright ideas: no, I’m not American and no, I don’t support what their military does. This kind of completely pointless semantic wankery just really activates my almonds

Dying in nuclear hellfire seems preferable to all this fucking bullshit

Oh no, bad behaviour! Anything but that!

Remember, any resistance to fascist takeovers must be well-behaved

Well that’s a huge surprise

Both world wars look like “clear lines” to you after the fact. Of course you can just point at, say, Ferdinand getting assassinated and go “yeah that’s what started WW I” but do you think anyone at that time thought “yup that’s going to start the mother of all wars”?

As others have pointed out they absolutely didn’t look like it when they were kicking off.

But don’t expect any medical treatment after your service if you’re a Democrat or unmarried: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans

Maybe explain to me how people baselessly criticising technology (like typewriters for example) for making people dumber is the same as a scientific study showing differences in EEG activity?
