Russian President Putin signs a new doctrine that lowers the threshold for using nuclear weapons
  • That is and was the entire point of the nuclear armsrace back then, sometimes called the MAD (mutually assured destruction) doctrine.

    Basically, you stock up enough to guarantee you can destroy the world and now no one can use it, without being, well, MAD.

    But Putin might be mad enough to ignore that

  • Black Ops 6 is massively outselling last year's Call of Duty even though it's on Game Pass, which probably tells you how Modern Warfare 3 went
  • If you've never played a CoD at all, I would recommend just playing the campaign (might be buggy atm though). It usually teaches all the necessary skills in order to be at least of some use in PvP, even when you aren't a pro in shooters.

    Other than that, the Zombies mode is nice.

  • I'm sorry for grandma of course but I like the 21 dollars in silver coins, sovcit.
  • So is Greed, which is the only accurate term for multi-millionaires. Though if those multi-millions come from one(1) house, that's a different thing. Housing market is snafu.

    It isn't really jealousy, or envious, to be more precise, to demand the rich have a higher tax burden than the working people. Everyone should be contributing their fair share of taxes, and that share gets bigger the more you get/have, as you wouldn't even notice it being gone (unless you were a hording dragon, obsessed with every small piece)

  • bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe
  • I came to interpret it as more of a general flag for minorities.

    Iirc it started to get more traction during the height of the BLM movement around 2020. It's supposed to include BIPoC into the pride movement.

    Found a piece talking about it

  • But what was the reference?!?
  • They might just be an anonymization thing. Abstracting the names into codenames/shorthands might make easier to understand "who"'s doing what without revealing any names.

    At least, that's what I would infer is the purpose based on what I was reading there.

  • I thought it was satire, before I look to the source.
  • The bar of entry is also far lower. Something like chatGPT or Copilot is magnitudes cheaper and far more useful than a VR headset.

    Additionally, large models AI don't make one physically sick with motion sickness, only mentally.

  • Lebanese girl becomes most notable victim of pager blasts
  • I hardly think it is necessary to be an expert in Near-East conflict or politics in order to condemn what basically amounts to a terrorist attack.

    Whether or not they should do something is a different issue all together. But dismissing criticism because they don't provide an alternate solution to an intricate problem is hardly any more helpful. Israel has many more pathways to do this properly, one idea would be the ICJ.

    You're also falling into an overgeneralization fallacy. While Hezbollah is in the lebanese government, this doesn't make all citizens of lebanon complicit. Hezbollah doesn't represent all of Lebanon, neither do Hamas all of Palestine or Netanjahu all of Israel.

  • Explaining the inflation rate
  • I think what they meant is if you receive that raise capped or uncapped. Some places have set wage increases based on years worked until a certain ceiling.

    So if you have this annual increase and that capped increase at the same time, you might only beat it because of the additional capped increase. That would mean, at some point, your increase in wages will not catch up with inflation anymore

  • Possible next rally massage
  • Afaik, it is grammatically correct as not is negating make. To me, "let's not make this weird" implies it isn't weird and they are trying to keep it that way. While "let's make this not weird" implies it is weird atm and they are trying to undo that

  • [Second Wind] Are I-Frames Holding Elden Ring Back? | Design Delve
  • I feel like that wouldn't be within his criticism. The way I understood it, it was that he, and I agree, dislikes the i-frame dodging-centric design because it relies heavily on something invisible like the I-Frames.

    If there was an animation, a flourish or some other visual marker it would help tremendously.

  • Unable to add self-hosted instance to instances

    Hello, the issue is pretty much laid out in the title. I am trying to add my own lemmy instance to the instances in the app, so I can log in to my account.

    It says it cannot find it, but I am not sure as to why it cannot find it, anyone here have any tips?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Edit: never mind, my MSP blocked my site for being unsafe

    Searching for domain host

    Hey guys, I am quite new to the whole self-hosting world so I haven't done too much. Before I dive in deeper though, I'd like to know how I should choose my domain name vendor. Specifically, I only want a domain, no VPS or other hosting capability as I got some old laptops running at home I want to use for testing the waters.

    Thanks in advance!

    Will there be more instances?

    Basically the title. I'd like to know if there will be more instances you can join in from?

    Edit: I just have been informed that it is actually not needed, as the box where you insert the instance accepts their address directly x.x x.x https://lemm.ee/comment/214009
