If they were selling them stuff, this probably wasn't Macchias Seal Island, though it might be some other border area. There's not much there.

Oh, apparently someone is raising it this term, though.

The Republican leader of the state House, Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham of Winter Harbor, last week urged President Donald Trump to defend “sovereignty over our waters,” referring to the little island in the Gulf of Maine.
I'm not familiar with Arch's updating scheme, but I'd bet that it's pretty similar to Red Hat's and Debian's. If you don't complete an update, boot it up
even if it's in a semi-broken state
and just start the update again. Even if the thing dies right in the middle of updating something boot-critical, so that it can't boot, you can probably just use liveboot media, mount the drives in question, start a chrooted-to-your-regular-root-partition root shell, and restart the update.
Doing that and installing or reinstalling packages is a pretty potent tool to fix a system. It's not absolutely impossible that you can manage to hork a system up badly enough to render it still unusable in that situation
I once wiped ld.so from a system, for example, and had to grab another copy and manually put it in place to get stuff dynamically-linked stuff like the package manager working again. But that'll deal with the great majority of problems you could create.
Yes, but it speaks to the "if the problem is more on Russia firing many more missiles" bit that you raised. I suspect that it's probably more-practical to dramatically reduce Russia's access to a continued supply of ballistic missiles than to dramatically reduce Ukraine's access to a continued supply of ballistic missile interceptors.

EDIT: One place you might try would be !futurism@lemmy.ca. Not much going on there at the moment, but as per its description:
A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.
That's not specific to AI alone, much less pessimistic views, but how technologies like it will impact society would be in scope.
EDIT2: As to moderators being active, there's not presently much there to moderate. One mod seems to have been inactive for two years, but @troyunrau@lemmy.ca looks to be alive, commented somewhere three days ago. And there aren't any memes or rage-stuff presently on there, if that's what you're hoping to have moderated away.
forced labor and money laundering conspiracy
Taylor and Brannon, according to the indictment, compelled their victims to work at their call centers and to work for Taylor as his “armor bearers.” Armor bearers were Taylors’s personal servants who fulfilled Taylor’s demands around the clock. Taylor and Brannon controlled every aspect of the daily living of their victims. Victims slept in the call center facility or in a “ministry” house, and Taylor and Brannon did not permit them to leave without permission. Taylor demanded that his Armor Bearers transport women from ministry houses, airports, and other locations to Taylor’s location and ensured the women transported to Taylor took Plan B emergency contraceptives.
If victims disobeyed an order or failed to reach his monetary goals, Taylor and Brannon punished the victims with public humiliation, additional work, food and shelter restrictions, psychological abuse, forced repentance, sleep deprivation, physical assaults, and threats of divine judgment in the form of sickness, accidents, and eternal damnation.
KOGGC/JMMI received millions of dollars in donations each year through its call centers. Taylor and Brannon used much of the money to purchase luxury properties, luxury vehicles, and sporting equipment such as a boat, jet skis, and ATVs. In total, Taylor received approximately $50 million in donations since 2014.
Recent court filings show Kingdom of God Global Church leader David E. Taylor suspected federal agents would raid his properties, and he believed he was a “general” leading the “end time army.” Taylor was accused of expecting his workers to wage war against anyone seeking to interfere with his mission.
“I am just telling you, you kill them on contact if they come in here with that foolishness, you understand? They need to die,” Taylor told his workers, according to court documents.
I mean, as long as that was what God wanted, I guess it all seems pretty reasonable.
I don't really care that much one way or another, but this would be a prime post for cross-posting to !EnoughMuskSpam@lemmy.world.
Better living through technology.

Plotters do (well, ones that feed off a roll rather than using a table). Common if you need to do larger prints.
Supported paper sizes include North American letter, tabloid, European A4, A3, 11-inch-wide rolls, and 27mm-wide rolls.
Here's 11-inch rolls:

I don't care about either of those, but I'm kind of curious what Doritos would be like without any dye at all. The power on the stuff makes a visible mess, because it's so intense in color. It should be possible to achieve the flavor without the color.
