In a 55-minute speech on Tuesday that defied the very mission of the United Nations itself, US President Donald Trump called global warming "a con job", European policies on clean energy "suicidal", and accused the UN of offering little more than "empty words".

The remarks were Trump's first of his second term in office, and much of it focused on brandishing his domestic achievements and deriding the UN and other countries' policies on immigration, peacemaking, climate change and multilateralism.

The president said his country was now in a "golden age", and imparted lessons to "the free world": close your borders, and return to traditional energy sources. "Your countries are going to hell," he said.

I forgot to set a reminder so I'm a little late getting to this, but here we are again:

Are you a "tankie"?

Respond "yes" or "no", I'll collate results later

This process is being undertaken to determine if so-called "tankies" are conspiring to make you (yes, you) have a bad time on the internet!

vague or informal answers will be interpreted by the central authority (me). Only top level comments will be counted. I will not be providing further instructions or clarifications.

Link to previous "are you a tankie?" thread

I'll likely check back in a week, my old pc died so itll take a little bit of time to prettify the results and write a report

Ciao, and of course, imperialism must be destroyed.

I've tried 2 different Windows cracks I found -- the FileCR 2023b crack, and the AppDoze 2025a crack. Both look legit to me but in both cases I get the exact same issue: With my computer offline, following the readmes, I mount the iso, run setup.exe, select "I have a File Installation Key", enter said key, and get this error: "Unable to load product files. Product files must be in the same folder as the input file. For help getting the product files, see the installation documentation on MATLAB Answer" which links to mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an… which is clear as mud.

I tried 0ing out the key and confirmed that it recognizes when you give it a bad key, so the key in the crack is still detected as a valid key, that's probably not the issue.

Thank you to any fellow pirate who can help a poor cuttlefish out o7 ❤

EDIT: Based on mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an…

I should be able to use the installer (once logged in) to download files without installing, then go offline and use the file installation key. However, the option to download files without installing is all greyed out.

Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the Israeli-occupied West Bank has long been at the heart of plans for a future nation existing alongside Israel. The model is known as the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would also include Gaza. It is backed by most countries around the world.

But the construction of settlements for Israelis has reduced the land left for Palestinians, cutting their towns and cities off from each other.

Approval to build settlements has accelerated rapidly under the current Israeli government, which includes vehemently pro-settler parties that want to annex the West Bank to Israel.

As several of Israel's Western allies recognise a Palestinian state, Israel has accelerated plans for settlements that it hopes will make the two-state solution impossible.

While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn't mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel's show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for "news distortion," but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.

FCC chairman unconvincingly claims he never threatened ABC station licenses

Brendan Carr would like you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.

This reeks of DRM.

UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.

UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.

[Announcement] Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads

Beginning very soon, you'll need to have the JavaScript runtime Deno installed to keep YouTube downloads working as normal. Why? Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "i...
