The prosecutor will appeal, so there will be season two, with a possible bad ending.

No one in Europe calls it that, though ;-)

VPN originally meant ‘virtual PRIVATE network’. And it is still used that way, where security matters. Virtual private network meaning it connects someone’s private resources into a virtual network not accessible to anyone else.

The ‘VPN services’ you are talking here about are quite different. They use the same technology, just to tunnel traffic through a third party server. Third party - that is opposite to ‘private’.

I do use VPN a lot, but to securely connect my devices over untrusted network (internet). But in this case I control both ends of the VPN tunnel. Or my employer controls that for my work traffic. That is the legitimate use of VPN.

The other ‘VPNs’ are just ‘foreign IP as a service’. Still useful, but I have they being called VPNs and advertised as a privacy solution.

In this case antisemitism helps. Awful people have their reasons to be pro-Palestine.

Steel production will still need some carbon, for steel being steel (iron and carbon alloy). But that will be much less carbon, when not used for fuel and reducing agent.

Safer roads would mean a lot of environment destruction in such case (and very high cost, for the low traffic there). I would rather wear some hi-vis and keep narrow rural roads rural and narrow.

Do you even know what we are talking about? The migrants in question are not Russians. They are asylum seekers, people from Middle East or and Africa, tricked by Russians, Belarusians and smugglers into taking the route through Polish eastern border when looking for a better life in the West. They are denied asylum, brutally pushed back to Belarus (which pushes them back to Poland), often dying in the forest and swamps.

In fact Russians (most probable insurgents), as white people, would get much easier pass there.

And I am not talking about ‘accepting blindly’ anyone crossing the border. Just following the law (Polish and international ) and some human decency (like providing health care for sick and wounded) would do.

Why “especially him?”

Maybe because of the power imbalance? Wasn’t he her superior?

Why is it only the men who get heat for having affairs like this?

What strange world do you live in? Usually women are treated much worse after such incidents.

You think she didn’t know he was married?

And in such case, why is HIS marriage her responsibility?

Now this is a completely separate problem. One that has Russia and Hybrid Warfare written all over it.

Even if ‘Hybrid Warrfare written all over’, the people being used there, are still people and should have their rights and dignity preserved. Do not let people die just because ‘Russia sent them’.

Yes, recently a lot of people came here. With various skin colours. From the East, from the South, but even from the West (a lot of Americans would rather live here). I love seeing them in my city, hearing all those different languages. Also: Ukrainian shops, Georgian bakeries, various Asian restaurants – these make the city a better place to live for everybody.

But there are people who chose hatred instead. Of course only those with darker skin are considered threat. Or speaking Russian-like language (which includes Ukrainians and Belarusians).

When no migrants were coming here the nationalists/racists were mostly ridiculous, but now they are great threat to many people who live here, or just come here for a visit.

The problem is: people want alternative, but they don’t want to pay for it. See the hatred for paywalls and love for ‘piracy’ here, on Lemmy. People won’t pay directly, so advertisements will stay.

I hate this model.

And how do the USA tariffs lower the costs of producing Canadian steel? If the costs are the same, but the prices drop, then the production becomes less profitable or even at loss. How this would help Canadian industry when the steel production is forced to stop? Other countries have already lost their production capabilities similar way, it is natural that Canada tries to be more careful.

And Solaris from Poland

The mines kill large animals too.

And what to do with the waste water from the reverse osmosis (now more contaminated than the input)? And who pays for the water wasted?

Because politicians and media keep them so. Often polls would show that public is more progressive than the lawmakers (e.g. about abortion laws), but the ruling politicians will still say how Polish people are not ready for such ‘radical changes’ or just how ‘wrong’ that is…

In two years the government hardly delivered anything they promised. And not just because Duda was still a president vetoing everything. No surprise people are disappointed.

That is what I always suspected and why I take my time to uncheck all these.

But that would be cookie for the website I am visiting, not for a dozen of ‘partners’. And these are the ‘legitimate interest’ on-by-default switches I am talking about.
