Again. Year ago a cable between Finland and Estonia was destroyed. The ship that did it left from St. Petersburg and it’s ”homebase” was in Hong Kong. Russia doing Russiathings in the Baltic Sea.
Man those EVE Online corporate sabotage shenanigans are getting SERIOUS.
...In all seriousness though, this is rather concerning that this is happening and nobody's really sure who's doing it.
and nobody's really sure who's doing it.
We are.
It’s Russia, I don’t think anybody isn’t sure of that?
I was going by the vagueness presented in the article but that's an entirely fair assessment, yeah!
These things are extremely durable to my understanding, to resist being regularly gnawed on by sharks;
Also Baltic Sea isn't really known for sharks, cold as it is.
Russians, making the world worse for everyone around them
It probably was bad actors, but occasionally, ship anchors dragging along the bottom can also destroy them (eg, oil tankers, extended cargo ships, cruise ships, etc.)
Sharks with laser beams
You say this like there is any other kind of shark.
Frickin' laysur beemz on ther hedz!
I love that expression : "sabotage by bad actors". Is Matthew McConaughey so ashamed of their latest film they don't want Finland to see it? Has there ever been a sabotage done by good actors? Like did Gary Oldman do the Gazprom one? Do you imagine the bad actors as angry people in balaclavas and black overalls, or as mustache twirling, cat stroking bond villains?
This is where the real meltdown begins. Just wait until they do this in multiple places around the world and create mayhem.
Don't worry, we have offline porn backups just in case. (In all seriousness, I hope the people and ship are caught and arrested.)
Trump will allow it because he will get a cut from the deals he will make with his first lady for starlink and they will claim some stability bs because it's wireless yadda yadda.
Blyat!

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
