The foot soldiers generally don’t want to be there. Russia has to use blocking troops to keep them on the front line. You retreat, you get shot by your own guys.

I know everyone has particular things they think are the worst part of war, but stating at a giant flying robot bomb and knowing you have no way to escape or even effectively surrender sounds like hell. Like, how do you tell the operator you want to be taken captive?

Gonna have to change the voting and/or representation system if you want to change the voting strategy. I suggest Approval Voting. It’s dead simple and very effective. Vote for everyone you like, and nobody you don’t.

Lol, I’m just plain amazed at how fast some people can type. I am touch typing, but I guess I just got slow fingers!

That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain’t no Speedy Gonzalez.

I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn’t like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.

Well shit, I wager the vast majority of people didn’t know most of that (including myself). I still think the situations aren’t a 1:1 comparison, but the Houthi logic is at least more reasonable.

If the infrastructure is key to the war effort, fair game. But like, the nether the Houthis nor the British are directly involved in the Israeli invasion of Palestine. Whereas I’m pretty sure Ukraine–having been invaded by Russia on false pretenses–has limited their targets to inside Ukraine and Russia.

Also, like, terrorism has a definition. The purpose behind Ukrainian attacks are direct military goals, while the Houthis are trying to generate pressure on the international community to drop support for Israel. The Houthis are using bottom-tier logic, but it is fundamentally different from what Ukraine is doing both in terms of actions and reasoning.

Oh fucking hell

If you consider not being able to switch phones at your own leisure an advantage, well… eSIM has that going for it.

Honestly, I have no idea what mine is set to, and the average user won’t either. Just messing with the settings is borderline power user stuff these days, when you factor in the general public. I did something with my settings the day I installed and I haven’t looked back.

That being said, a lemmy sub for Firefox ain’t exactly a representative sample of the general population.

What’s the context here?

Ah, my bad. I saw a game with complete shenanigans earlier so I thought that’s just what anarchy chess was.
