Technically only some of HK was under the lease, some was indefinitely controlled by the British. However, you're still right because of the military force difference.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

That flag exists, it's called unsafe for if you need to tell the borrow checker to trust you or unwrap if you don't want to deal with handling errors on most ADTs.

You can always cast anything to an unmanaged pointer type and use it in unsafe code.

I miss circles

The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.

I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897

I think big instances should cache, but for smaller instances with less funding and resources it makes sense to skip the caching.

Oh wow, this is tragic

I use an adblocker but I turn it off for sites I like and want to support.
