• Trump said last week, “There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal” to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

    We had a deal. You broke it you colossal asshole.

  • Everything Iran has said about the US in the past appears to be actually true with the current administration. Why would they bother negotiating?

    As an American, an i supposed to cheer for Iran in this situation? Trump is more likely to destroy us.

    • No one to cheer for, we don’t do good guys anymore, just various levels of bad guys fighting between themselves.

        It’s been a while we haven’t done good guys

    • Reuters is not a fan of VPN’s and scrapers. The Lemmy image search bot fails to scrape their thumbnails. Newer Lemmy versions have a manual option to fix this but .world needs to update first.

    • It will automatically if the target site doesn’t block the request (Cloudflare, rate limits, etc). Per community rules and best practice, the original article URL must always be the post url; uploading a thumbnail will override that (currently).

      Once LW updates past 0.19.6 or so, there should be a field for custom thumbnail where you can do so (in addition to the post URL). I don’t know how the rules apply to that (not yet relevant for LW), but I would hope people wouldn’t abuse that to post unrelated images. Prob something to bring up to the mod team once LW updates to a version that supports custom thumbnail images during post creation.

      IMO, just drop the original link. If the thumbnail works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

    • You know, I have no idea.
      I think it depends on the linked-to servers.
      If the server thinks the Lemmy thumbnail/summary generator is a bad bot, it will not return a thumbnail. If it’s actually a decent web server, I think the Lenny instance will generate & distribute a thumbnail automatically and attach a summary.
      I presume this is handled by the posts hosting instance.

      I’ve noticed some sites that get linked to don’t have a thumbnail and some sort of “prove you aren’t a bit” subtext/caption.
      And others work fine

    Trump doesn’t even negotiate in good faith with the US’s allies, it’s even worse for a country like Iran. Why the hell should Iran negotiate with this clown? They’re making the right call here.

    Iran is backed by Russia, Trump is screwed for supporting Russia.

  • Is there no one this guy isn’t attacking? Maybe Vlad. He’s doing the fucking around thing. I think it’s called the art of the veal or something, wasn’t listening.
