Thank goodness!
Thank goodness!
Signaling in the railway is how they know what trains are where and when. There are a few different types of signaling system, but destroying any part of it will bring everything to a halt until the problem is fixed.
If a signaling system were to be destroyed or disabled no one would need to physically stay there blocking trains only to be arrested.
Good on them. For anyone considering the same: destroy the signaling systems.
Posting an article with sources and saying that this sort of thing is happening is not Russian propaganda. I and my family stand with Ukraine, your straw man argument is ridiculous and inflammatory.
These things happen in war, every day. Refusing to look at them, picking and choosing your facts to suit your opinions, and accusing others of being Russian propagandists is not a good look.
I appreciate that we all want peace and victory in Ukraine, and that any voice pointing out their flaws draws immediate downvotes.
Have a good day.
There was more than one incident reported in the article, and more than one soldier spoke to the reporters and provided proof. I don’t think it’s widespread, but pretending it doesn’t happen instead of facing it and creating policies and procedures to handle it gives legitimacy to the enemies’ claims.
Unfortunately there are credible reports of exactly this happening by soldiers from other countries fighting in Ukraine. Doesn’t mean it’s widespread, but it is happening.

This is really sad all around. Sex isn’t supposed to happen in prison, but it happens in men’s and women’s facilities. The fact that this person was only vilified and transferred to a men’s facility after someone at the DOC leaked the investigation documents and an article was run dead naming her and implying she was a predator is so wrong.
This is why many of our packages weren’t delivered. We have a low front gate with a latch, and we have had many parcels taken to the post office without a delivery attempt.
After calling aupost for the umpteenth time, they have told me that their drivers have been instructed to not enter any sort of gate because of dog attacks, unless they know the house and that there is not a dog.
The second line of our address for everything now says “NO DOGS! Thank you!” and since doing that no problems.
Ugh, yeah. We live close to and commute along Gympie Rd.
The construction along the Kedron section has traffic slowed at all hours of the day and night, exacerbating an already obvious issue with those living in the Northern Suburbs being forced to commute along a road that has houses and schools on it.
A North/South highway is needed - not another toll road.
Especially since these toll roads are sold on the promise of “It’s only a toll for x years, then it will be free!” only they have all made back what they cost to build and more, some many times over.
Many have been sold to a private corporation with no plans to make good on the original promises.
What does the girl say at the end?
This is great. :)
I know, just today on my lemmy home page was a w10 user who had their desktop background image changed and the stupid search bar added to their task bar again after an update. This is why I don’t allow my machine to update. It’s rediculous!
Linux will be so much better, but it will require some effort and time, and probably some help. I will have to get there, and once I do I know it will be a relief to have an OS that only does what I tell it to!
Thank you for the kind wishes stranger. I wish you health and happiness as well. I am sure you will see me again after I have made the leap, with some silly question or another. :)
I am the user above, and the writing is on the wall - I am aware that I will need to switch to Linux when I can no longer make w10 work for me, or when it is no longer supported by the games and programs I use.
The reasons why I don’t switch now are more complicated. I use a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 as my daily driver, as I was in an accident and can no longer sit at my desk with the pc I built. This laptop is on a rolling desk over my bed.
Anyway, while some Lenovo laptops support Linux, this one does not, and my reading tells me that I may have difficulty with certain things. I may have trouble with drivers for the graphics card, I may have trouble with adjusting the monitor brightness or the second monitor, I may have trouble with sound. or even the keyboard.
There are github pages devoted to helping with utilities to fix many of these problems, but they definitely require troubleshooting, thinking, and planning.
I have also had a friend who recently switched to Linux, who tried to stream a game for me. Before he switched his streams were flawless, this time we spent a while figuring out how to get his game audio, then the stream quality was abysmal, freezing, and in the wrong resolution, so he played while I googled solutions he could try on the fly.
Streaming games through discord on Linux is apparently a whole thing. That more than anything keeps me on win10, because I cannot play most of the games I used to play, they require too much movement, so my husband or friends will stream for me.
I am hoping things become easier as more users join Linux before me.
This is all a long winded explanation that I am sure you didn’t ask for, but I just wanted to let you know that sometimes even people with a somewhat good grasp of tech have reasons keeping them from switching.
Payphones across Australia are free for domestic calls, and also transmit free wifi. :)
No fucking thank you, I have long since completely neutered my pc’s ability to update. I updated enough to install drivers and get it stable, and that’s it. I don’t trust windows.
As an Australian, regarding their comments towards us: they can get fucked.
This is less a problem with legalizing marijuana, and more a problem with a pharmaceutical medicine not having proven origins and certifications. If a pharmacy sold other medications without proof of origin and certification they would be shut down.
Clickbait article with images from 10 years ago, scanners now show generic body shaped images with the area to search highlighted.
Hey there, I’m not sure since my laptop only has usb c free, but one of the reviewers on Amazon said that it works fine over usb a.
I hope he is home with his family soon, he did what was right no matter the cost, and our laws should have protected him.
