“This is the time for us to show resolve, not appeasement,” said von der Leyen, who was set to travel to Kyiv later on Wednesday to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. “We are in it for the long haul.”

good thing there is still a copy on archive.ph

people and groups trying to censor this website and having it scrubbed off archive.org are parasites

regardless of whether you agree or disagree with KIWIFARMS, censorship is never the answer nor is "scrubbing" which is the equivalent of book burning

Great Britain is still a monarchy. However, it’s known as a constitutional monarchy and now King Charles III is the holder of this title. However since it’s a constitutional monarchy, most of the governing power rest with the parliament.

She was a figurehead only

Although she was Commander-In-Chief, she gave responsibility to the prime minister and the Secretary of State for Defence, along with other officials. Theoretically she could have ordered a strike against the white house but this would be vetoed by the govt.

She had the ability to declar war, however the government doesn’t need the Queen’s permission.

She could have issued an order of Dissolution of Parliament, but parliament is not the same as the government. The British government is the one that actually rules in the UK. Also such an act would have caused an absolute uproar among UK citizens and probably ensured the beginning of a Republic

So she has "power" in name only, but no real power which was my point, everything has been taken away from her ... and now also King Charles.

Most guides only deal with Systemd distros, not distros like Devuan etc

A Queen, without power is a fake; it's just a title but with the inability to do anything because successive governments over time striped the Royal Family of any and all powers, and any that do remain can be vetoed by the Govt.

This media circus, is a form a worship.

Sure people can cry for a person such as the Queen, a person they do not know except for what they see on TV or in other forms of media. Personally I don't get it, I think Israel bombing Gaza killing children (just an example) is far more sad

One person should not receive so much attention. People die. We all die. Yes, I understand she was a fake Queen of a country, but so what?

Why do we feel we need to worship these people, be it royalty or celebrities? They are just people, like you and me who happen to be famous.

People are dying in Gaza too, maybe spare a tear for them.

You can also do it the easy way, instead of installing Ubuntu, which is based on Debian, install and Arch spin such as Arco Linux https://arcolinux.com/ and during the installation choose the 'hardened kernel' option instead of the default or zen kernel.

doesn't surprise me that the first response for an opinion other than the mainstream media narrative is censorship and banning the person

These sobering statistics recently led Andrea Toreti, a researcher with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Milan, to make a shocking declaration: that the 2022 drought is likely Europe’s worst in nearly 500 years

Bollocks, and so easily disproved by the "Hunger Stones" along the Elbe River in central Europe.

The stones become visible when the water level of the river drops significantly, as in during times of drought.

The oldest stone carving to emerge was carved in 1616.

"Some markings date back to the 15th century, Czech researchers found in 2013, and the Decin stone commemorates at least 12 droughts over 600 years. "

Droughts come and go and are a natural climate phenomena.

Points which are common sense you mean and that any sane individual would agree with

the history of mankind is mired in war and conquest, it is an inescapable part of what makes us human (sadly).

What i don't like is fake outrage and hypocrisy from Zelesnky zealots who seem "ok" with thousands of civilians dying because one actor/Prime Minister can't understand when he is beaten.

If Russia really wanted to, they have the arsenal to level and completely destroy the Ukraine and its infastructure, but they don't. Instead of understanding this fact, Zelesnky continues to "poke the bear" and continues this useless war with ever more fervor.

Sometimes you have to know when you are beaten for the greater good of your countries citizens.

Where is your outrage against Israel who shell and attack the Gaza strip and who steal land from the Palestinians in the West Bank?

Where is your outrage when the USA attacks a foreign country with impunity and kills tens of thousands of "collateral damage" civillians in order to gain access to oil and gas resources or strategic trade routes or military positions?

.... all i hear is your silence

But when Russia does something to protect their border, ooooohhh, big bad russia.... must punish with useless sanctions that only hurt EU and the rest of the world.

Like the German Green Party member Annalena Baerbock who does not care if German people freeze and die in winter because a foreign countries conflict is more important than her own people.

" I will put Ukraine first “no matter what my German voters think” or how hard their life gets. "

Zelensky is a puppet for the USA and will never relinquish this failure of a war against Russia, regardless of how many Ukrainians die in the process, because 1) he is receiving essentially and endless supply of arms and military aid from the US and 2) his ego won't allow it.

Just goes to show the fatal flaw of POW for anything except Bitcoin and Ethereum. Interestingly, it costs more to 51% attack Eth at the moment.

yes

prepare for the AI/robot apocalypse

because the population is 8 billion and because people build homes/cities in geographically vulnerable areas subject to flooding or drought.

Ask yourself, why would people build a city on known geological fault lines, or at the base of still active volcanoes, or along river flood plains ... which flood every few years, or in harsh arid areas bereft of water? Yes, stupidity is one reason ... maybe the only reason.

where is Thanos when you need him???

He(Putin) dismissed as "nonsense" the widespread allegations that Russia using using gas as an energy weapon, saying it's as simple as releasing the necessary parts for the safe and proper functioning of pipelines operated by Gazprom.

"Give us turbines and we’ll turn on Nord Stream tomorrow, but they won’t give us anything," Putin told the audience, further addressing the latest global headlines of an EU-mulled price cap on Russian oil and gas, calling the proposal "another stupidity." He suggested the dilemma remains simple:

"There are contractual obligations and if there are any political decisions that contradict them, then we simply won’t fulfill them. We won’t supply anything at all if it contradicts our economic interests, in this case. We won’t supply gas, oil, coal or heating oil."

The St. Petersburg-based company has said Canadian, EU and UK sanctions make delivery of a Siemens turbine to the Portovaya compressor station impossible.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had earlier said the Siemens 073 turbine, which has been cited as being at the heart of reduced Russian gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, remains in Germany after maintenance.

what could possibly go wrong...

Sure, it can cost money to use Dall-e and all things take a certain amount of trail and error to attain the desired result, but does it make any sense for an artist to even use this system, when they spent a significant amount of time learning their craft and skills to begin with; why then just opt out of the creative process entirely and leave it to someone else to create something for you?

Maybe systems like Dall-e can serve a purpose for some individuals but the art is not something you crafted, from your imagination, with your skills and talents.

I think we should take a step back and ponder the wider implications of these fakeries created by algorithms and the implications it has for us all.

Why can't you people talk directly about the problem/issue rather than in analogies and abstractions?

According to Dr. Zakir Naik a noted Quranic scholar - a man can have sex with a sheep or goat as a way of dealing with his lust. Essentially, this allows the male Muslim to have sex with an animal (beastiality) if a woman is not available.

the soft vice of robot lips sounds appealing

Let's just make up a fake job title such as "prompt engineering" and charge $5 a pop for something simple as conjoining words.

In reality anyone can do this, it just takes a little time to get the right results.

Are people really this lazy that they will pay for this?

A Sex robot, that has the articulation/movement and sex capabilities of a human is not enough, the AI powering the machine has to be up to standard, comparable to that of a human. Siri level AI in a machine is not enough. When we think Sex robot, what we imagine are machines/AI such as "Gigolo Joe" and "Gigolo Jane".

What will the effect be? I think a whole lot of people will choose machines over people as everyone can have their "perfect" man or woman partner.

Nobody could have gauged the negative effect that the feminist movement had on Western society, and so it will be with the AI/sex robot movement. Time will show us.

meat was found to contribute to climate crisis

everything we do contributes to the "climate crisis" but really, is it a crisis to eat meat or is it more of an issue, that powerful elites and wealthy people like Leonardo Di Caprio, Klaus Schwab and others fly around the world in the private jets while advocating to us "little people" that we need to reduce our carbon footprint and drive electric vehicles, take less vacations using planes, eat less meat and reduce our standard of living so that they can infact keep on living their lifestyle in exactly the same way?

In this article from the BBC....

"If we were to consider the journey from Rome to Glasgow on a private jet - a journey that some of the G20 leaders made to get to COP 26 - that would take around two hours and 45 minutes, requiring 2,356 litres of jet fuel. "

"Therefore, the total emissions for this flight would be 11.3 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and with a capacity of nine, each passenger would be responsible for 1.2 tonnes on their journey."

It's pure hypocrisy from the wealthy preaching to use plebs. What this whole agenda really is about, is restricting our movements, restricting our way of life and sending us back into a feudal class system that existed in the past; where the elites own everything and we are mere rent serfs begging for our existence, subsisting on bugs and drinking our recycled urine, while the elites eat grass fed beef and fly on holidays in their private jets to exotic locations, now cleared of the refuse that is us plebs.

Collectively, neither observational studies, prospective epidemiologic cohort studies, RCTs, systematic reviews and meta analyses have conclusively established a significant association between SFA in the diet and subsequent cardiovascular risk and CAD, MI or mortality nor a benefit of reducing dietary SFAs on CVD rick, events and mortality. Beneficial effects of replacement of SFA by polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat or carbohydrates remain elusive.

Normie speak; they don't know.

Next....

The hack shows, that users data is at risk regardless of whether users accept the T&Cs.....how moronic to think that accepting new T&C will somehow negate another hack or data breach.

I guess normies will believe it ... :(

Sadly the majority of people don't have the mental capacity to understand, they just go along with and accept whatever the media tells them
