"Weathered steel" was all the rage on brand new buildings a few years ago, why not on a "truck"? 😏

It may not be on the news radar in the English-speaking world, but the turbulence sweeping parts of Africa is the biggest challenge to French influence on the continent in 60 years.

Civilian governments backed by Paris have been toppled in military coups and Russia has wasted little time in taking advantage. The Wagner group was infamous for doing Russia's bidding across Africa, but now a new organisation loyal to Vladimir Putin is infiltrating the region's coup belt.

The movie, "Big Miracle", seems to have been based on a real event known as "Operation Breakthrough". There was a time where something like this would have the entire world holding it's collective breath and doing all it can to save the animals. Today, hardly anyone knows it's happening. 😢

I mean, sure, but I feel it probably wasn't the greatest unmasking. Some of the stuff was just plain ignorant and embarrassing ... for the lawmakers. Like this exchange with the Tik Tok CEO. I feel like they probably don't really understand what they are up-in-arms about. 🤷‍♀️

So it could've created the mid-drift, maybe, but not enlarge her breasts.

Apple's rules to allow third-party app stores in the EU are not beneficial for users or developers in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] Sarsaparilla@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Epic lost their case with Apple regarding Fortnite, yet now Epic are looking to make Fortnite available on iOS in EU. But from the article it seems an alternate "app marketplace" would still need Apple approval anyway. It will be interesting to see how all this is going to work.

Who is going to conduct the "investigation"?

Exactly. I think the bigger question here is whether hand-soap is sufficient to use as body wash? 🤔

Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Sarsaparilla@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

I went thru many of his songs after discovering "The Search". "When I grow up" is great ... the subtle comedy in the kitchen scene is brilliant. He's quite the lyrical genius!
