You can listen to people try to convince you that Russia's war is justified and that Tienamen Square never happened for a while if you want, then make up your mind and block them later ;-).

I thought PS5 and switch were some of the best selling consoles of all time? Just because they are in the later part of their generation now doesn't change that.

I voted third party for 30 years straight. That all ended with Trump. If he wins, democracy is dead in the USA. There's no coming back from that. I was never a "lesser of two evils" guy, but faced with the option of living in a fascist dictatorship, you'd better believe I am now.

And as for Biden, he was my least favorite democratic candidate, but now that he's in office, I'd say he's been one of the most effective presidents we've had in decades. Student loan relief, fighting to reduce child poverty, and doing a half decent job of keeping WWIII at bay in Ukraine. I think a Cold War era president which will bend to the workers movement and social democracy is about as good as it's going to get.

I have no regrets voting for a major party candidate in this election whatsoever.

But if your friends are Trump supporters, by all means, be my guest.

If it's a different person than you, then you have a different issue ;-).

It appears the recent update broke this too. All my read posts are still showing despite having "Show Read Posts" turned off. I've tried turning it on, reloading, and turning it off, clearing cookies, clearing cache, etc. Seems to be something on the server side.

I'm okay with this as long as one of the options is

"Because fuck you, that's why."

I pass up a lot of good crossposting opportunities because I haven't seen this in any of the iOS apps yet. Anyone know of one that has it (other than the standard web page of course?). Thanks.

I've worked in this field for 25 years and don't think that ChatGPT by itself can handle most workloads, even if it's trained on them.

There are usually transactions which must be done and often ad hoc tasks which end up being the most important things because when things break, you aren't trained for them.

If you don't have a feedback loop to solve those issues, your whole business may just break without you knowing.

Brazil’s Lula backtracks on Putin arrest safety at Rio G20

Putin missed the G20 summit in India, avoiding any risk of criminal detention under an ICC warrant for alleged war crimes.

Published On 11 Sep 202311 Sep 2023

Brazil’s leader has withdrawn his personal assurance that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not be arrested if he attends next year’s Group of 20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, saying it would be up to the judiciary to decide.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also questioned Brazil’s membership in the United Nations war crimes court, saying on Monday “emerging countries often sign things that are detrimental to them”.

“I want to know why we are members but not the United States, not Russia, not India, not China,” Lula said. “I’m not saying I’m going to leave the court. I just want to know why Brazil is a signatory.”

Putin missed this year’s G20 gathering in the Indian capital, New Delhi, avoiding possible political opprobrium and any risk of criminal detention under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant.

In March, the ICC announced an arrest warrant for Putin over the war crime accusation of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children. The Kremlin denies the accusations insisting the warrant against Putin is “void”.

Russia issued an arrest warrant for Karim Khan, the prosecutor at The Hague-based war crimes court, in May and he was added to the “wanted list” of its Ministry of Internal Affairs.

‘The judiciary decides’

Brazil is a signatory to the Rome Statute, which led to the founding of the ICC. Lula raised eyebrows at the weekend when he told Indian news network Firstpost: “If I’m the president of Brazil and if he [Putin] comes to Brazil, there’s no way that he will be arrested.”

He changed tack on Monday at a press conference in Brazil telling reporters: “I don’t know if Brazil’s justice will detain him. It’s the judiciary that decides, it’s not the government.”

Putin has skipped recent international gatherings and sent his Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to New Delhi instead for the September 9-10 G20 meeting, even though India is not an ICC signatory.

On Saturday, the G20 nations adopted a declaration that avoided condemning Moscow for the war in Ukraine but called on all states to refrain from using force to grab territory.

The next summit is slated for November 2024 in Rio de Janeiro and Lula said he hoped “by then the war is over”.

As someone who started his tech career in the mid '90s, this kind of hurts to see put into words so well.

Hilarious that the country that not so long ago tried to force the west to pay them in Rubles now has to take Rupees as payment and has a "preferred" currency of Yuan. Russia is getting bent over so hard by India and China. It's basically a vassal state to China now.

This was functionality I used a lot in Reddit to find stuff I had recently seen and realized I wanted to refer back to it. Any chance we can get that?

So, they should be sunsetting it sometime next year then.
