South Korea’s presidential office on Thursday condemned an agreement reached by Russia and North Korea that vowed mutual defense assistance in the event of war and said it will reconsider its policy of limiting its support to Ukraine to non-lethal supplies....
According to the text of the deal published by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, if either country gets invaded and is pushed into a state of war, the other must deploy “all means at its disposal without delay” to provide “military and other assistance.” But the agreement also says that such actions must be in accordance with the laws of both countries and Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which recognizes a U.N. member state’s right to self-defense.
The best thing for the world is to ensure the "defender" of land wins wars, to discourage future wars.
The best thing for South Korea is to not give North Korea any tangible reason to get upset. South Korea is saying they want to help Ukraine, because they want to please the US, but they'll only do the bare minimum to please the US.
Blows my mind that to this day, companies don't realize it's a service issue. Like it's straight up regressed. Adobe and Microsoft used to encourage piracy to help their bottom line. Now you have stupid PMs who realize they can get a good performance review by talking about how much money they'll make/save from doing stuff like this
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.
Jokes aside, do you not feel like the fediverse is more "dead" when you block people? I remember back when Ruqqus was a thing, everyone blocked eachother and then quit because eventually you end up blocking the people who post OCs/memes due to irrelevant comments
He posted online, telling his friends it was time to say goodbye. Then his friend called him up, saying he had an opportunity at his company Eternos.Life for Bommer to build an interactive AI version of himself.
Almost certainly not, although fair disclaimer, I don't actually know. Ads need to be tailored to the user when delivered, so it's likely the YouTube frontend requesting the next chunk of video to be an ad instead of the next chunk of video from blob storage. yt-dlp likely just requests successive chunks straight from blob storage, passing this.
If YouTube served ads by saying "point to an ad chunk next" in their blob storage, 1. Everyone would see the same ad and 2. Premium users would still see ads.
To patch this, YouTube really needs to stop serving video chunks directly from storage, but I forget the reason they haven't done that already.
(Technical note; I'm assuming blob storage chunks contain 1-2 seconds of video and metadata pointing to the next one, like a linked list. I'm not sure if this is how YouTube works, but many video platforms do this)
"The situation at that time was that the DMZ was now overgrown with trees and the MDL mark was not clearly visible," Lee said.
"There was no road, and the (North Korean soldiers) were moving through the bushes, and we were observing (them) even before they got close to the MDL," Lee said.
"We believe that they did not intend to invade, considering that they immediately moved northward after the warning broadcasts and warning shots."

I used to use Protonmail and VPN, but one day my password just randomly stopped working and I lost access to everything. Switched over to Tutanota and Mullvad and have had zero issues since.
Lmao you're right. Removed the first part. It came to look like an ad because I posted my first thought, then came back with my second one and appended it.
As far as the password goes, to this day I have no idea how it happened. I don't want to admit I use the same password for everything, but ye know.. it just stopped working for Proton one day.
On one hand, yea I don't want brain damage. On the other hand, if it means I can move robotic limbs after being paralyzed, maybe it's still worth it?
Like the idea of having neural interfaces that don't penetrate the brain is obviously great, but if that tech doesn't come for another 50 years, what are the current people going to do instead?
I'm not on the waiting list for Neuralink, but if I'm gonna be honest, the hate for it is over amplified.

As someone who rehosts an old game after the official servers shutdown, we have a dedicated servers for cheating and real moderators for the non-cheat ones. It works great but big corps don't way to pay for mods.
I also wonder why big companies don't do it to train ML algorithms on the cheat server data too..
Drake definitely wins if he had Kendrick rapping about stuff he was fed, but for whatever reason I don’t even believe him. Even his talking at the end sounded like he was trying to act.
I feel like people are missing the point of the daughter stuff being fed. It doesn't matter if it was 1 in 4 verses, it matters that Kendrick unintentionally lied.
As someone who doesn't follow the scene much, I am confused about one thing though. Does Drake not have a daughter, or is it just the information about the daughter was wrong?
It's such a risky thing to double down on as Drake though. He knows ultra haters are going to do everything they can to dig up facts that point to the daughter being his, but he still claimed it wasn't. So for me, I'm gonna have to see serious proof before believing it
As someone who ran BTRFS for years, I'm personally switching back to EXT4. Yes, the compression and other features are nice, but when things go wrong and you have to do a recovery, it's not worth the complexity
When booting into a live CD, mounting the various subpartitions is super annoying.
When your disk space hits full, things break uncontrollably because different programs don't have a consistent measurement of how much space is left.
When shrinking partitions, you can lose data if you shrink it too much. I'm not talking about forced overrides of any configs, I'm talking about things like KDE Partition Manager.
All of these things can be excused one way or another, but at the end of the day I just want a stable filesystem that doesn't lose my docs.

Paria admitted they had no rescue plan, citing that they had 'no legal responsibility to rescue the men'. Further external attempts to save the men were reportedly blocked by Paria. In November 2023, the Commission of Enquiry found that "Paria's negligence could be characterised as gross negligence and consequently criminal". They recommended that the Director of Public Prosecutions "consider charging Paria with what is commonly known as Corporate Manslaughter."
Looks like nothing came from this.. yet?
A GoPro camera was recovered from one of the deceased divers, Kazim Ali Jr. Audio recording from the camera shows that all five men were alive after being sucked into the oil pipe, and in the audio they are heard praying and comforting each other.
This is why all of the interclass hatred and debates are stupid at the end of the day. When that's you, are you really gonna care that you died beside a Tankie or a Confederate supporter? We're slowly getting worse, while the rich literally let us die to save a couple million pounds.
