So… “This” is an event I’ve should be aware of?

Like, if you had to tell my hypothetical friend that never heard about “this”, how would you describe “this” and its relevance for popular culture? Just because I myself am bad at explaining things. Obviously.

Never did. Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.

I don’t think there are many applications that I hate with more passion than discord and anybody who willingly chooses that garbage piece of software to further hide what used to be searchable forum content behind login walls and proprietary apis should be forced to search for a solution for a simple problem of their most beloved hobby all over hundreds of stupid discord channels for all eternity.

Which is why you need insurance if you buy That Car on a loan. So there’s somebody else who will pay back the loan if you fuck up That Car.

If That Car is worth a hundred billion dollars, suddenly that very important aspect just seems to vanish and you can just buy That Car with itself without any further securities.

The assets of the acquired company are often used as collateral for the financing

This is so dumb.

“I want to buy That Car, can you give me money? I have… nothing.”

“But if you have nothing, how can we expect you to ever pay back That Car?”

“Well, after buying That Car, I will have a net worth of That Car, so paying you back obviously will be trivial using ownership of That Car.”

“Sounds like we have a deal!”

That sounds like the plot of a house md episode.

If anything, Germany is one country where this would actually be legal…

Wenn das Original bereits veröffentlicht wurde und bei einer Verwertungsgesellschaft wie der GEMA registriert ist, bedarf es keiner Erlaubnis des Urhebers, denn diese verwaltet die Nutzungsrechte der registrierten Künstler. Grundsätzlich ist die GEMA allerdings verpflichtet, jedem, der einen urheberrechtlich geschützten Song nutzen will, diese Rechte einzuräumen.

Gem. § 11 UrhWahrnG unterliegt die GEMA einem Kontrahierungszwang und dies in doppelter Hinsicht: Auf der einen Seite ist die GEMA ihren Mitgliedern verpflichtet, die ihr übertragenen Rechte wahrzunehmen, auf der anderen Seite ist darüber hinaus in der Pflicht, dem Musiknutzer diese Rechte auf Nachfrage gegen Entgelt einzuräumen. Damit ist das das Covern von verschiedenen Musiktiteln größtenteils erlaubt, auch wenn es einigen Künstlern sicherlich nicht gefallen wird.

Which is entirely not the point.

Do I look like I know what an MSG is?

Absolutely not. E2EE means it’s encrypted from end to end. If I send data and I’m also the person to receive it on my app to inspect it, I’m both ends and the data should not be decryptable in between by anybody else if it’s advertised as e2ee. Zero knowledge on the other hand doesn’t mean that you transfer information securely but that you can prove that you have some information without it ever even being sent.

They also said they decrypt after transit before they encrypt at rest, so it’s not encrypted in between and they can look at your data. So it’s not e2e if you want both ends to be you.

You didn’t find meaningful sources. And I certainly didn’t stick my head anywhere. I read the articles. The point still stands that most of them had absolutely nothing to do with your points except their general bias. You’re supposed to give meaningful sources that are relevant to the points you stated earlier. Come on, it’s not hard. Except if there’s nothing to back up your claims, or course.

This is not about being a communist or not. You made statements, I asked for sources and all you could provide was a list of articles that were mostly unrelated to the far reaching points you made and even if they weren’t consisted mostly of unsubstantiated leftist ramblings. I never said you were delusional, but if you can’t provide meaningful sources for your far reaching claims then you can’t expect me to go beyond illustrating how you act because there’s nothing else to discuss.

War nie ein Fan von Bürgerräten. Es wird alt gerne vergessen, dass wenn 20 Prozent Faschos wählen auch 20 Prozent Faschos in diesen Räten sitzen. Mir ist nicht klar, was man damit gewinnt.

I implore you to move out of your echo chamber and actually pay attention to the points being obvious to anybody not being tied exclusively to propaganda pages. Some news sources aren’t just for delusional tankies and a source not being exclusively Russian astroturfing crap does not mean it’s wrong.

So, there were these points you mentioned:

• The west has absolutely hollowed out and looted Ukraine
• used it as a battering ram to damage Russia as much as they could.
• The US blew up Nordstream specifically to try to decouple western Europe from cheap Russian gas.
• The US Empire, post-2014 Euromaidan coup, uses Ukraine similarly to how they use Israel, to secure its interests in the region.

The first two links are about US officials discussing who they’d like to see active in a Ukrainian government and who they don’t. Doesn’t relate to any of your points. Maybe the last, but simply discussing which people are currently doing what in another country during a state of turmoil doesn’t really say anything.

The counterpunch link is just weird… It’s just a long list of weird accusations and propaganda without any substance at all. Looking at the site, it’s not a neutral news source anyway, but that, too, doesn’t give any sources concerning any of your points beyond “look, western politicians visited Ukraine”. Well, no shit.

The Consortium News article starts with brandishing the opposition as a Neo-Nazi movement and disqualifies itself utterly by that within the first few sentences. Like, those are your sources? That’s insane.

The Monthly Review Online article is about the Maidan massacre. Not directly related to the points above.

Maidan coup thread: deals with the question “Is there any credible evidence that Ukraine’s 2014 revolution was due to a CIA coup”. Even if the answer to this was “yes”, it wouldn’t be relevant to any of the points above.

Coup details: same. Like, it keeps going on how the US influenced actors. Well, no shit. That’s what politicians do. I still don’t see the connection to the allegations stated above and the way it’s framed in the article is despicable.

“Don’t get it wrong”: “The EU doesn’t care about Ukrainian lives — in 2014, they supported a far-right coup”, nah, I’m out. “Far right coup”, what bullshit. This whole myth of Nazis taking over Ukraine is just ridiculous and any article that keeps iterating that Russian propaganda is not believable.

advocating inflicting a military defeat on Russia in Ukraine… Helping Ukraine defend itself against an invading agressor because it serves your interest as well doesn’t make your second point true. Russia could stop the war today if they simply stopped attacking another country. They don’t. It’s not the west that uses Ukraine, it’s Ukraine that uses the west’s interest to reduce Russian power to defend itself. You’re mixing up cause and effect.

Washington, via CIA paramilitaries, has been fighting a proxy war - bullshit. The article is about US people training Ukrainian people, not about the CIA fighting a war. Helping Ukraine defend itself doesn’t mean you’re “using it”. If you’re teaching somebody some self defense to no longer get beaten up by a bully, you’re not fighting a proxy fistfight. What a stupid take.

NYT coup coverage with CIA involvement - same.

Nordstream US involvement evidence - long, long article that ends up accusing Ukrainian nationalists. No US involvement mentioned.

The US harvesting Ukraine for minerals - and here it is, the one part that I agree with you and that I think is believable. And of all the points up there, this only partly backs up the last one, because “getting resources” isn’t really “securing its interest in the region” (or one might argue it’s even the opposite, considering historic precedence such as Versailles, but I guess Trump doesn’t think that far ahead). Yeah, that sucks. But still, there is no indication of the US or any other western state being the cause here - it’s just Trump, the Russian asset of all the people, trying to take advantage of a situation.

Can you please just fucking stop this?

In 2 days time on Ask Lemmy:

There’s some creep hiding in bushes in a path which is connected to the gates of my neighbours house where I usually shit at. What do I do??

FTFY

Bei Letzterem werden sie auch nicht so schnell labbrig.

Und wie kriegst du sie dann stattdessen schnell labbrig?
