Magnetic north is variable, and curved. It's not even accross continents and changes over time. So the map is distorted so that up on the 2D plane of the drawing is magnetic north... Meaning all the countries and shapes are distorted so that magnetic north at those locations matches up in the drawing.

They're drawn so that magnetic north is the top border of the image.

I think the red arrows are pointing put how shapes are being deformed, because the changes are relatively subtle.

There's no different between appealing to far-right issues, and popularising far-right issues.

Ultimately all of politics is about what you're popularising, the issues you're helping become known.

Well yeah, the Cardassians were using slave labour in death camps for a reason.

The Nazi had the stabbed in the back myth because their economy was through the floor.

In a way Capitalism is the source of all death camps, all slavery. King Leopald thought he'd collect more money the more brutal he was. The Pilgrams were hungry and racist enough to perpetuate genocide.

Let me tell you something about Humans, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holo-suites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.

Cloudflare has had major outages, and I suspect it's cost more time and inconvenience than it's saved. It was created to prevent DDOS attacks, which aren't widely used any more and public facing front desk webpages shouldn't really be concerned with anyways.

There's plenty of house paint and tire dust left over for everyone. We'll all still die of cancer!

"The weak should fear the strong" is part pf the era that brought Trump about, where fascist ideas like might makes right were popularised.

Juat saying.

Could have been as young as 13, as Virgin generally meant not ready for sex yet.

Labor is dead.

 

Journalist Antoinette Lattouf was awarded A$70,000 and possibly more in damages after the public broadcaster wrongly dismissed her under Zionist lobby pressure for sharing a social media post critical of Israel's conduct  in Gaza, reports Joe Lauria.

Currently if I paste a link to a Lemmy.World post on reddit, the user is taken to the comments section - and the image post (eg. the point of the actual link), is a tiny thumbnail.

This is now how to get people to cross over to Lemmy and other federated services.

 

The sidebar should be behind a link or tab.

We desperately need a "disable inbox replies" feature, or at least a place we can turn ALL notifications off.

The "search -> for communities" drop down, should just take you to the communities list (which has a search bar, and actual links to the communities, rather than a directory of them).

Does anyone have any more they'd like to list in the comments?
