NATO allies are struggling to coordinate a response to Russian airspace violations, with partners in the defense alliance openly contradicting each other.
Incidentally, the indecisiveness is a great illustration of why command structures matter. When a centralized system like Russia's encounters a problem, the government makes a plan, and everyone down the chain of command executes it. Militaries always have hierarchical organization for the same reason. Imagine if a platoon in a firefight had to take a vote on what to do next. The chain of command exists to turn a big-picture strategy into immediate, coordinated action, even when things are chaotic.
That's exactly where NATO's weakness starts to become apparent. It's a giant alliance where 32 different peers are trying to agree on what to do. Everyone has to agree, or at least not veto the plan. Getting consensus is slow, messy, and often leads to watered-down decisions that try to make everyone happy but aren't actually the best move. The whole thing has been held together by the US acting as the de facto decision maker, but now the US is starting to pull back and chaos reigns.
Sembra la cosa più naturale del mondo, ma grattarsi è un po' come lanciare un allarme alla Polizia che va interpretato per attivare i soccorsi nel più breve tempo possibile

Even the tale is perfect. Witchcraft, hate, murder, life in the forest, fantasy dwarves, a tomb, and torture. It hardly gets more black metal than that.
She, famously, has no idea how humans live. She is culturally distinct from the Europeans on the coast.
She has more in common with the fish that she speaks to. She's basically a magic dolphin.
Meanwhile, the people in the OP image are humans (to my knowledge, I'm not a nerd). Humans who have lived in the human world with human pasts full of human culture which give context to their characterization. I'm sure their background stories matter to their fans.
Nobody argues about what color the scales on Ariel's tail should be.
I'll defer to your delphine expertise. Although Snow White is the one that really got me, she's explicitly described in the text, her snow white skin is her primary physical characteristic.
Don't get me wrong, I am upset about the others, or at least as upset as is reasonable for the ethnicities of fictional characters. But consistency is consistency. I'd rather see more stories from diverse cultures than arbitrary race-switching.
anyway as an 1800s fairy tale for children, imo i think it's fine to view it through the lens of whichever culture you want. the trouble imo begins when trying to ascribe something to the story which it certainly did not contain - even that is probably basically harmless if you're just confused or something, but it certainly becomes a problem when it's used to justify unfairly shitting on someone else for a slightly different yet completely harmless alternative depiction.
Not a Turk, he was most likely Lycian, Anatolian people that at the time of his birth were completely greekified. Turks only show there many centuries later.
he's like 1/8 or 1/16 native, so despite being far removed from indigenous people and culture white americans have a tendency to see any claim to cultural heritage as valid, so the outrage wasn't as big as normal
Who would do it? The crazy, easily offended, superficial and impulsive Native Americans? There's only one tribe that gets fuming mad and violent about this kind of ridiculous shit...
Basically the original heroes were vaguely Tibetan (Aang) or dark-skinned Inuit, but for the movie (that doesn't exist) they quite consistently color coded the good guys as white and the bad guys as darker skinned; the total opposite.
I got that part. The part that was confusing me was Aang's "hero" font being a different color than the other two. I think I'm reading too much into it, maybe
I mean, I've watched it through many times, but tha's not really the point here. They switched up the appearance of the whole Fire Nation demographic because... Well...
I’ll give you that for Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), but that’s a big stretch for Banzai (Cheech Marin) and Ed (Jim Cummings). I don’t think Marin can play anything other than a mexican stereotype, and Ed was just a moron.
They were like we wanted to swap the gender but we’re worried a strong Asian lady would be too Dragon Lady Stereotype. Like fuck off and cast Michelle Yeoh, she would have nailed it.
They also wanted to cut Wong, like WTF? Though ultimately making him a peer/equal instead of a servant was a great change.
iirc, a lot of the times in old media creators would use red-haired people as stand-in for minorities, basically if they wanted to make a character BIPOC, but the studio wouldn’t let them, they’d make them red-haired instead
got this from hearsay so take it with a grain of salt. but if it’s true, it’s nice that the original visions can be fulfilled now!
(and even if it’s not true, more BIPOC in movies is never a bad thing, even if it comes at the cost of red-haired characters, which whatever it’s not like we’re systematically oppressed)
edit: also I’ll note that Ariel is still red-haired in the remake
it's even worse than that cos the original text never said ariel's human version race, they just assumed it lol.
and before anyone says yes but its written by a dane, my response is yes but it's a fairy tale, anything is possible. why assume and then get angry based on your assumption?

I don't know if anyone outside Australia knows Fern Gully... But anyway, years ago, watching that movie with friends I casually suggested that possibly fairies in Australia would more likely be indigenous looking than white, and got told off for "making everything political". And by migrant friends.
One of whom used to get quite offended at any implication that they were anything other than Australian.
To be fair, skin tone usually develops due to exposure to the sun. If anything, mermaids probably are tanned on top (backs) and pale on their stomachs. Like great whites
If the character's ethnicity isn't directly relevant to the story or its message, why does it matter? People of all kinds of heritage live just about anywhere in the world, so a character being from some country doesn't have to determine their ethnicity.
It's a damn movie. Cast whoever is gonna play the character best. I don't care of brothers and sisters were different or if men played women or women player men.
But I'm used to the theater were roles don't have such a large talent pool.
I remember having an argument about the little mermaid movie years ago; the guy was complaining that a black lady was cast and I had to ask: "what do you care? You're not gonna watch it"; he looked stunned for a second and then said "yeah but still....", to which I had to reiterate "WHAT DO YOU CARE? YOU'RE NOT GONNA WATCH IT!"
Like why are grown men complaining about it at all?! We're not the target demographic!
If copyright didn't last forever, anyone could make a little mermaid movie with the main character as whatever race they prefer. Its been 35 years, time to release this into the public domain.
I'm angry about all five castings. Same about the casting of an african-american as Heimdall in the MCU - What would be whiter than a nordic god? But using while actors for non-white roles is the vast majority of miscasts.
I mean in the MCU Asguardians are just a separate race that have no reason not to be diverse. The only reason they're considered Norse gods is because Scandinavia is where they happened to do things on earth.
I don't really care about this though tbf, most comic book heroes have multiple incarnations often with gender-swap and different ethnic groups, Ariel on the other hand is a character from a traditional European fairy tale. It bothers me more to see Tom Cruise as "the last samurai" than some random modern comic book character with slightly off skin color.
I dislike it no matter the color for most things. There are plenty good actors that would match a characters ethnicity but they decide to go with the opposite of that. Now I’m all for representation and stuff, but when Hollywood does this it either feels forced or ignorant
I get the point of the meme and all that, but that whole thing about calling out Scarlet Witch for being played by someone that’s white is kinda troublesome to me.
Wanda’s dad is Magneto, a Jewish white guy. Her mom isn’t mentioned much but she’s Romani, which is its own ethnicity; and ethnicity is not a skin tone.
Yeah Romani in Western Europe are often white passing or straight up white, and mircrakagovia or wherever they are from is quite obviously an eastern Europe analogue.
Scarlet witch is probably white, maybe a bit swarthy
Sokovia (Соковиja, Sokovija) is a fictional landlocked country in Eastern Europe that is the home of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, as well as Helmut Zemo.
Love him in any roles where he uses his regular British accent. Let's not make him do Baltimore accent ever again. In fact, probably best we forget that happened l tbh
Can we please stop calling them "African American??" Nobody likes that. Not even black people like saying or being called "African American," for several reasons.
We do need some way to qualify them. They're not just regular Americans, like us, due to the excess of pigment. Perhaps, Black-American? Negro-American?
Hmmm.... I do mind that they look the part so you can at least recognize them. Avatar the last airbender movie was the worst offender of this, because at least one cast member looked like another character from the show.
I don't know from which movies they are but If #3 has an iconic beard, then #3 needs a beard and some better clothes if those clothes are iconic as well. #4 is a no.

I was using Lemmy for the better part of two years and thought I'd come over to piefed and see what's up. A few things puzzled me and I'm hoping this is the best place to ask.
It seems all top level comments are locked for replies - is that a server thing? A federation thing?
Scrolling through All, the content just... stops. I'm using the Boost client (maybe that's why?). I get it if I'm sorting by top hour - there's only so much posted per hour. But it's the same for Hot, Scaled, Active, etc.
Edit: looks like both of these are issues with the Boost client. Switching to Summit on Android resolves both.
Sorry about that. Piefed just had a new version release last week and part of that included some changes to the api that mobile clients use. Boost has been a bit slower to update than some of the others. It's unfortunate really, because Boost is my favorite mobile app for lemmy, but the updates can be slow. The good news is that we aren't planning any more breaking changes to the api going forward, so once Boost is updated, it should continue working.
As an aside, I would also recommend trying piefed as a PWA. It is my preferred way of using it on a mobile device.
In versions of the API prior to 1.2, the `page_cursor` parameter was supported on the `post/list` endpoint. After testing with API v1.2 on crust.piefed.social, it appears that `page_cursor` no longer works.
I mean if it's 2 party consent then it's illegal to take any pictures in public with people you don't know in them but it's not like influencers from those states don't record in public in super crowded places where they can't possibly have gotten everyone to sign off. Try filing a takedown notice even with it illegal and watch as the corporations ignore you, bonus, you've now just identified who you are to the company by telling them which video has you in it.
You're conflating way too many things here. 1/2-party consent is wiretapping, not photo or video. Takedown notices are for DMCA/copyright, not general "it's illegal".
I mean, they wanted to share the data with other companies, so it kind of works as suggested, but I think they didn't like the part of not getting paid to share it with the whole world. techcrunch.com/2025/09/25/vira…
Call recording app Neon was one of the top-ranked iPhone apps, but was pulled offline after a security bug allowed any logged-in user to access the call recordings and transcripts of any other user.
ONE participant of the phone call is getting paid. It's unclear if the other one is even being informed. Anyway apparently the app shut down today because of a huge data leak, but I haven't looked into the details.
Hi, I've got dispatcharr running behind a VPN with free iptv feeds and have it at the point I think I'm comfortable subscribing to a provider. Where is the best place to talk about and get real experiences with different ones? All I see are what look like SEO optimized scams trying to sell providers, half the time look fake anyway. Thanks
Depends on where you are. I have mine sitting behind a pia vpn container, equivalent to a gluetun solution. My opinion is that if you're doing black market iptv in a place where you could get in trouble for it, you need a vpn.
Open to alternatives. I'm aware of the issues with kape. I haven't had problems with them and I've used them since before kape bought them. I was going to switch to Mullvad but they no longer support port forwarding, on which I depend.
AirVPN has port forwarding and you can set up anonymous accounts and pay in monero if you really want to go that far. The main downside is that it's slow, but if you're just using to torrent then that doesn't really matter
Personally I just do PlutoTV plus whatever free/sketchy channels I can find. I haven't heard of many providers but they all seem fairly suspect. If I were more into sports or a similar niche, then I might be looking harder. But I'm good with "Pluto Plus" for now.
The problem with paid IPTV providers is that if they’re easy to find, they’re easy to take down — so anything you can find through a search is probably a scam or will be short-lived.
Your best bet is forums like TechKings, where users conduct subscription sales over DMs. I didn’t really want to bother with all of that, but your might be motivated enough to! Sounds like the most common advice is to only subscribe month by month to services to avoid losing money if the provider shuts down or ends up being a scam.

From the late 1960s until 1992, Danish authorities forced around 4,500 Inuit women, around half of all those of child-bearing age, to wear a contraceptive coil — or intrauterine device (IUD) — without their consent.
È ormai, al di là di tutto, tornato per me il periodo dell’anno in cui devo professionalmente mettermi a mannaggiare, perché inevitabilmente l’università spaccata è ricominciata. E stavolta in realtà non ho proprio parole, perché non so se essere contenta del fatto che le cose non si prospettano troppo indecenti… o se disperarmi del fatto […]
universitaria rompenza, mo che ogni cosa riparte e son rogne!
È ormai, al di là di tutto, tornato per me il periodo dell’anno in cui devo professionalmente mettermi a mannaggiare, perché inevitabilmente l’università spaccata è ricominciata. E stavolta in realtà non ho proprio parole, perché non so se essere contenta del fatto che le cose non si prospettano troppo indecenti… o se disperarmi del fatto che pure stavolta questi non potevano fare a meno di creare aspetti rognosi; sull’orario, principalmente, eccallà. 🤖
Mamma mia, questo è così pezzotto… ma vado con ordine. Innanzitutto, nessun giorno di riposo per me, solo grandi rotture; un giorno faccio giornata quasi piena, e il resto è tutto spezzato, a volte metà giornata e a volte pure meno… ma, se questa disposizione fosse più ordinata, mi starebbe anche bene andare 5 giorni su 5; alla fine, al liceo ce ne andavo ben 6, quindi a confronto questo sarebbe gran lusso… chiaramente c’è altro. Ho per due giorni lezione all’orario più peggiore della storia, cioè le 13:30, proprio a rompimento di cazzo per fare in modo che io non possa pranzare decentemente, completo, a casina… e per inciso, pure se accettassi di convertirmi al milanesimo e pranzare alle 12, non potrei, perché a quell’ora massimo devo prendere il bus. E, in tali due giorni, ho cose solo a quell’orario… in altre parole, non solo tutto il rompimento dell’andare e del tornare è per appena una (1!) materia, ma poi c’è il classico buco merdoso per cui devo aspettare un’ora buona per l’autobus… aiuto! ☠️
Analizzando ulteriormente, poi, esce ancora del peggio, figuriamoci. Il lunedì devo andare lì la mattina presto, mentre martedì e mercoledì ho solo il pomeriggio (quello sputo di pomeriggio, come ho appena detto!), giovedì ho sia la mattina che il pomeriggio, e venerdì di nuovo solo la mattina… e in realtà, se da un lato questa disposizione pare proprio perfetta per spaccarmi il sonno, perché ho 2 giorni di margine nella settimana per abituarmi involontariamente ad andare a letto troppo tardi, e i successivi 2 in cui devo svegliarmi presto, per poi avere i 2 giorni del fine settimana in cui ripetere lo stesso errore, per poi dovermi di nuovo svegliare presto lunedì… pensandoci meglio, il weekend spaccatutto lo avrei comunque, quindi quasi quasi è meglio che io abbia 2 giorni in mezzo per dormire fino alle 11 e recuperare il sonno perduto prima e poi, OK. (Rara vittoria mascherata da rogna!) Però, intanto… giovedì pomeriggio ho lezione solo alle 15:30… quindi, l’unica volta in cui converrebbero le 13:30, non mi sono concesse, e viceversa. La fine!!! 😭
Come cose da fare, almeno, se i professori si riveleranno decenti (e questo chiaramente servirà tempo per saperlo), credo non ci saranno gravi gravezze, perché stavolta le materie sono: ingegneria del software, che suppongo ci possa stare, programmazione distribuita, che è programmazione e quindi comunque non andrà al cesso, poi i seminari di accompagnamento al lavoro da seguire, e infine, come materia tra quelle a scelta, io ho preso mobile programming… che è Android, quindi si bestemmia e pure pesantemente, ma chiunque sa che preferisco di gran lunga bestemmiare appresso a Google, piuttosto che studiare algoritmi bizzarri con fondamenti di intelligenza artificiale, o cose ancora più astruse con machine learning, e questo per non parlare poi di fisica… 🤯
In realtà le prime due materie, obbligatorie per tutti, ancora non le ho avute… iniziano domani, e quindi solo domani avrò un’impressione iniziale vera (che è importante, perché a leggere solo i programmi la roba sembra sempre meno rognosa del dovuto), ma vabbé. Almeno oggi e ieri sono stati OK… se non per il fatto che oggi ho dimenticato di mettere il manga (di Sailor Moon) nello zaino, e quindi nel pullman al ritorno mi sono ritrovata a dover sprecare il tempo, anziché poter leggere, che due palle… (Quindi ho letto solo poi a casa, e dopo cena vedo di scrivere il post del capitolo… se non scoppio a causa del mal di pancia, credo psicosomatico, con annessa grossa diarrea, che mi è venuto proprio poco fa dal nulla. Si, questo post l’ho scritto proprio sul trono bianco, come la principessa che sono.) 🥱
~~Link in the OP is fake, please update to correct site.~~
Correction: I was wrong. Comick.dev is not fake. The base Comick.io site did briefly link to comick.dev, but the link has since been removed, likely because comick.dev was throwing errors (see screenshot below).
After looking deeper into it, here's my understanding:
comick.io is and will remain the official website.
comick.dev is a temp site the owner set up for building and testing the new tracker version of ComicK. It will likely disappear or be archived once development is complete.
If your account is older than 1.5 months (the site owner was forced to remove servers with more recent data), you should be able to log in and retrieve your lists from comick.dev.
We'll probably have to wait a couple of weeks for real news about the future of ComicK.

:::
::: spoiler Staff on official discord says comick.io and comick.dev are official and safe
:::
::: spoiler Meotimdihia (Comick site owner) says they had to remove servers, and to wait two weeks.
I didn't find comick.dev, a couple of hours ago comick.io started redirecting to the .dev domain. The admin for comick.io also announced it in the discord it is not fake. It seems the website is still under progress though.
Comick has become a tracking/wiki site. So don't log in to any site where you can read manga.** If you see manga reading available, that site is fake.**
The .live and .art domains are fake sites. Even though you might be able to log in, that's my fault. These guys hacked the old Comick server when I didn't really care about security, because Comick was just a small site and stole data. Luckily, they don't have the Comick source code, or they can't use it because it was the old version. So, they only copied Comick appearance but the source code is different. 3.** Comick lost 1.5 months of data **when I upgraded the PostgreSQL server but forgot to restart the backup process. But servers were removed -> I can't recovery these data, but Comick is continuing to build data again. Also, you could check old manga by searching in your browser's history.
Your passwords are always encrypted, so your password won't be exposed. Even I don't know what is your password.
I know Comick suddenly became a tracker/wiki, so it will lack a lot of features, but let's just wait and see.

A campaign group seeking to overturn Denver’s ban on flavored tobacco sales in the November election has far outraised supporters of the prohibition, campaign finance records show.
The opponents of the ban, a coalition of Denver vape store owners organized as a group called “Citizen Power!,” raised $410,000 through the end of August, according to campaign finance reports filed this month. The campaign group supporting the ban, “Denver Kids vs. Big Tobacco,” raised about $245,000.
In December, the Denver City Council near-unanimously approved a ban on sales of most flavored tobacco and nicotine products after public health and children’s advocates argued the products could lure young people into a life of addiction.
The council approved the ban, which applies to any sales within city limits, despite heavy lobbying from tobacco companies and vape stores. Mayor Mike Johnston signed it.
The president of the campaign group opposing the ban said that instead of creating a new prohibition for adults, Denver should better enforce its earlier ban on sales of the products to children.
Lawmakers and activists across the political spectrum called on American tech firms to stop selling surveillance equipment to Chinese police and for Congress to examine the issue after The Associated Press reported that U.S. technology had played a far greater role than previously known in enabling human rights abuses by Beijing.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri told AP he wanted to summon tech companies before Congress to address how their technology exports were used. Hawley, a longtime critic of U.S. technology companies, bemoaned Silicon Valley’s general lack of cooperation with Congress on that and similar inquiries.
“I think eventually we’re going to have to subpoena these people,” Hawley said.
In a post on the social media site X this month, Hawley vowed that “Big Tech must cut ties with the CCP - or face my committee,” referring to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. Hawley sits on several Senate panels that might have jurisdiction to examine technology issues
An AP investigation published this month revealed that U.S. technology companies to a large degree designed and built China’s surveillance state. Firms including IBM, Dell, and Cisco sold billions in technology to Chinese police and government agencies, despite repeated warnings that such tools were being used to quash dissent, persecute religious sects and target minorities. Companies named in AP’s reporting said they complied with all export control laws.
Yang Caiying, who told AP for its investigation about how her family was targeted by Chinese surveillance using American technology because of their activism in rural Jiangsu, said she was “shocked by the pivotal role that major U.S. tech companies have played” in her family’s ordeal. Yang is now collecting signatures for petitions urging Washington to bar U.S. firms from selling to Chinese police, both online and on the street.
Other lawmakers from both parties urged Congress to beef up export laws to prevent more American technology from being used to fuel human rights abuses abroad.
“China has been utilizing partnerships with U.S. tech companies to build malignant ‘smart cities’ that are used for mass surveillance and human rights abuses against millions of innocent Chinese people,” said Rep. John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. The panel is charged with examining the strategic global competition between the U.S. and China.
“As executives at Nvidia and other American tech companies chase business in China, they cannot deny that their technology will be used to commit atrocities, strengthen China, and weaken America,” Moolenaar said.
Moolenaar called for American companies to work with Congress to write new laws that restrict the export of technologies that enable oppression. and work harder to keep their products from being smuggled into China.
In 2004, political campaigns spent 9 cents of every dollar raised on fundraising operations. By 2024, that number had reached 30 cents. American political campaigns are raising more and more money less and less efficiently. I’ve analyzed data from FEC disbursement records, using an algorithm I developed to classify expenditures by spending category. It reveals that campaigns are now spending 38 cents of every dollar raised just to raise more money—a fourfold increase from the 9 cents spent in 2004. In raw terms, campaigns burned through $3 billion on fundraising operations in 2024 alone.
This represents a fundamental shift in how political money flows through our democracy. Twenty years ago, fundraising operations were a necessary but modest expense, like renting office space or printing yard signs. Today, it has metastasized into the primary activity of most campaigns. In 2022, 31% of total expenditures were for fundraising expenses. This came close to exceeding the 33% of total expenditures going towards advertising. If current trends hold in 2026, it’s likely that fundraising costs will for the first time exceed what is spent on advertising, thus becoming the biggest spending category.
A new crop of young Democratic Party challengers is running on generational politics alone, hoping to capitalize on voters’ hunger for change without running afoul of the centrist establishment’s political preferences.
