Won't even partly finance one bridge. They're just that evil. Maybe they did a study on how many places along their lines people have to cross dangerously and decided it would set an expensive precedent.

I didn't know they used inflatable vehicles props for target practice. That's neat. I saw a video recently of those inflatable decoy tanks used in WWII but didn't know they had more uses.

That's the stated use case. But all you have to do is either view the post with an account, or use a service like xcancel that uses an account to load it on your behalf. For example, here's the post from this thread: https://subium.com/profile/shoe.bsky.social/post/3mhswyoeqqk2e

Also the username is in the URL, so someone just has to look the person up!

It's completely optional and disabled by default, I can't believe there are big enough losers to actually enable it on their own accounts. And of course it is stupid that it's a "feature" in the first place.

Interesting that a number of DPRK youtube channels have been banned.

It is now in a grid layout and I can't switch it to the list view. Worse, some videos are now out of order chronologically i.e. a video from 4 hours ago appears before one from 3 hours ago.

Feels like part of the continued march towards algorithmization of every last major internet service. The ultimate goal presumably being to make it easier and easier to censor things, Facebook style.

Presumably the channel RSS feeds will continue to work...

Unfortunately video hosting is one of those services that costs a lot to run so it isn't easy to replace.

More boomerang action.

Immigration advocacy group Voces Unidas first reported the practice on Thursday, stating that the cards were left inside abandoned vehicles in Eagle County after the detainment of nine Latino community members this week. The cards feature an ace of spades with "ICE Denver Field Office" at the top of the card and the address and phone number of the ICE detention facility in Aurora on Oakland Street. They were later found by family members.

The practice of leaving an ace of spades as a calling card reportedly began with the U.S. military during the Vietnam War when Company C, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry (2-35) would leave them at the entrances and exits of villages where Viet Cong members were killed, along trails, or on the bodies of Viet Cong members.

They want to force people to use the algorithmic feed so badly that they made a second dropdown you have to switch to not get "For you" type crap.

Of course this is also happening at all ICE facilities, and US prisons, and CECOT, and black sites, and so on.

You're looking at a magazine called restaurant business online. They have another article about a bunch of people calling the protest of the Israeli PR person's restaurant "anti-semitic".

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 84 points 2 years ago

They miss multiple times in this article. They seem to suggest it's a comflixt that goes back "hundreds of years"??????? And bring up "Islamic fundamentalism" in a prt of the article that seems like they actually think it involves that at all? The racism still seeps through.
