There isn't much evidence that the oligarchs have any influence.
As someone who lived through it, Mutual Assured Destruction was an insane policy in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It may have been the only one available, but it was insane. It's no better now.
Why do you say that? They have a much larger land mass and more spread out population, which seems to argue that they are in a more survivable position.
I guess they have to drag it out for diplomatic reasons, but the High Court has set a condition that the US cannot satisfy: The State Department nor the Department of Justice can guarantee that he would be granted First Amendment rights. It’s established precedent in US law that constitutional rights only apply to citizens. Judicial independence prevents them enforcing any agreement to the contrary.
Russia doesn’t have to open a new front. Nukes on Berlin, Paris, and Washington would do it.
So police are taking a page from their American counterparts?
When I was a kid (1970s & 80s US), openly wearing religious symbols to school was a little weird, but it wasn’t against the rules. They were just another piece of jewelry or clothing. It amazes me that a reasonable and evenly applied dress code needs a ruling from a human rights court.
Banning state owned “news” outlets makes sense. Banning legitimate journalists doesn’t.
Talk is cheap. Until we see action, nothing has changed.
I don’t know the details of gaming studio or Microsoft operations, so thanks for this.
There is one point where I have to disagree, though; MS has plenty of experience hiring for any position anywhere on the planet. It doesn’t seem plausible that lack of familiarity with the talent market is the likely reason.
Do we actually care what anyone who’s still posting on Reddit thinks?
Were the closed studios about to unionize or something?
Ask at your gym about personal trainers. Check out their qualifications and reputation with other clients. If you just meet once or twice to outline a program, it may be worth the investment.
Congrats on taking the first step!
Yeah, that’s one of the complaints I have about them. Of course, if I need PGP, I prefer to encrypt an attachment myself offline and just send that, so it’s not a dealbreaker in my case.
Out of curiosity, and if you don’t mind my asking, which provider do you use?
Fair points. The site didn't work in my browser, but it seemed like a cool idea. I'm glad it works.
In fairness, I'm probably just snarky because I expect a different standard from NPR.
Fair question. For everyday, run-of-the-mill, don't-care-who-sees-it, a postcard is fine; I have a Gmail account for those. For anything more sensitive, I have a couple of Tuta accounts. If it's truly confidential, I prefer to just say it in person.
Exactly. I’m willing to pay for a game that I actually own a copy to use as I please (within legal bounds). I’m significantly less interested in renting a game that the publisher retains full control of.
LOL! I couldn't figure it out either. My guess: an intern with the website password and too much time on their hands.
Love your handle, by the way.
That's not how I read the headline. Given that this story is so old (months and months), if it's newsworthy at all today, it should be "USDA Finally Updates Climate Maps for the First Time in a Decade."
Anyone who needs them has been paying attention to the climate for years. It's a neat bit of science reporting, but it's hardly "Here's What Suddenly Changed."
This May, we're proud to offer a free webinar series and additional curated resources to empower educators and support student wellness in higher education.
Is anyone else genuinely not interested in knowing what should be private details of another adult's health? I'm happy to point students to helpful resources that I know about, but treating them is not my job, nor am I interested in the liability of being seen as some sort of first responder. This is well and truly out of my wheelhouse, and I work to keep it that way.

Team USA track and field kit for women is needlessly revealing and sexist, women athletes have said after Nike unveiled its outfits for the Paris Olympics
What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?
Apple has officially announced that they are attempting to kill web apps in the EU, which will have ramifications worldwide
Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.
The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?
Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.
Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

What do you all think of the College Board’s AP program?
In another thread, @flooppoolf@lemmy.world made a post leading to the question "How long until we need to include a lesson on crafting appropriate AI prompts in order to help students use them as tools and not as unpaid ghost writers?" Are we already doing this?
I definitely discuss acceptable use and try to keep the guidelines brief and familiar (Treat it like a not-too-bright friend who's a patient sounding board). But how far do you all think we'll eventually have to wade into the weeds on this?
I know that we're all still feeling our way around this issue, but how are other profs handling it? What is good evidence of unauthorized AI use? How do you handle a student who refuses to engage in attempts to get their side of the story?
For my classes, we talk once a month or so about acceptable use (treat it like a not-very-bright friend who's overconfident and prone to hallucinations). It's okay to brainstorm, bounce ideas, and generally use AI to spark creative problem solving. It's not okay to have it do your assignments.
This fall, I have a student who seems unfamiliar with showering and deodorant. I haven't said anything, hoping that the issue is just a one-off and that it will resolve itself. However, we're quickly approaching the end of my patience, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Everyone has a deodorant malfunction from time to time. Obviously, no one is going to be personally identified, even in a private email. My best idea so far is a general class announcement via the LMS that it's been brought to my attention that we may have a problem and for everyone to please double check their hygiene before coming to class.
Have any of you all ever had to deal with this? Any suggestions?
If this isn't the right place for user questions, please just let me know.
My laptop's keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it's interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do.
Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I'm thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?
I admit to being a little bummed out. It was relatively good work. While I strongly believe that students retain copyright to their own work and can post it wherever they want, I'm still sad.
It's worth noting that I'd never heard of this particular cheating site before today. One more to the list, I guess.
