What about that time they sneaked bombs onto a civilian lorry and blew him up with his family as he was crossing the bridge out of Crimea?
The person who makes Hyperland was blacklisted by freedesktop (Linux stuff) over saying something transphobic as far as I understand from a glance.
They made a post in response in which they said ‘This other person threatened to sexually assault people as revenge for something small. I’m not the only person deserving of shame’. I’m sure there’s more to this story, I don’t care.
A hexbear user in response to this story wrote there’s a false equivalence between a trans person calling for violence in a hyperbolic tweet and this app developer using their platform to spread anti-trans hate. I think, again, I do not care about the actual story, Fictitiousexistence’s comment doesn’t need context to be bad.

ITT people claim that a Google VPN is a bad product for all use cases because Google is not a privacy-respecting company. This ignores all non-privacy use cases for using a VPN.
And even for privacy, this would’ve been a product where the vendors interest in protecting your privacy and your interest in protecting your privacy aligned in the case where you were not hiding from Google. For example if you used a Chromebook laptop, used the Google Chrome browser, or used Google services like Google Search and Google YouTube, then Google would already know everything about you. You can’t hide your activity from them, but they can help you hide it from others.
Similar situations exist for other privacy disrespecting companies like Microsoft and Apple, where a user might reasonably want to hide from everyone other than their vendor of choice, whose product they consider good enough to allow them to see their computer activity as part of their payment. If you already subscribe to one privacy disrespecting vendor, it makes the most sense to go all-in.
If a device makes an encrypted connection to a server the device makers own, there’s nothing further you can gleam from studying the DNS lookups. They can route traffic through the first server, and they can resolve any IPs through the first server. And since you insist the person you’re replying to doesn’t know what DNS is because they said it’s encrypted, I feel you might also not know that DNS can be encrypted. In that case, the network owner can see that a device makes a connection to the nameserver, but they can’t see which addresses the nameserver was asked to resolve. And similarly, the device can refuse a connection to the wrong nameserver.
Medal of Honour VR is 180GB, or about 24 minutes if your download speed never falls below the advertised speed. And that’s even a ‘nice’ example, some of the super large games like Call of Duty and MS Flight Sim update between every time you find time to play and make you download hundreds of gigabytes.
And to say nothing of node_modules.

You don’t need to support Putin to be a Marxist, him and Russia are deserving of a lot of criticism, but it’s maybe a little suspicious if someone sees everything happening geopolitically right now and consistently chooses to focus their anger towards Russia.
To be honest when I read Supavillain’s quotes my first reaction was also 'So they don’t like Russia, who cares?", Ukrainian national identify exists, if Russia annexed western Ukraine they wouldn’t be able to erase it. Non-principled populist politicians do always suck. And Russia would’ve loved (I assume this is about) Donetsk PR to have been their puppet.
But then those last two quotes are pretty bad. Killing Putin or even having Putin do a 180 wouldn’t change anything. He’d just be replaced. And the poor countries are no less civilised.
It’s because China needs help using Emacs. Lemmy needs to rebrand to a Vim learning resource.
I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime.

Look up China Ghost towns. Some insightful shit.
No it isn’t. This is the insightful western coverage.

But as it turns out, predictably, if you check now the city has reached it and it’s a completely unremarkable piece of infrastructure.
Next they’ll write articles about the next stop in the line. Maybe western media can’t wrap their heads around purpose oriented modes of production.
The USA has invaded Cuba and the DPRK. Literally the only thing they want from the USA is to be left alone and allowed to be friends with whoever they want without the USA threatening to kill anyone who talks to them. They’d both be radiated wastelands if the USA could make that happen unscathed.
Prolewiki is the Lemmy aligned wiki, run and maintained by Lemmy/grad users and staff. Greenland is not considered global north because they are a colony of Denmark. Geopolitically their interests don’t align, and for the sake of economic classification, Greenland is exploited and Denmark is doing the exploitation. The map uploader didn’t decide who is or isn’t in the global north, they’re repeating the classification used by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development https://unctadstat.unctad.org/EN/Classifications.html.
The USA is not a democracy. Not a weak or flawed democracy, as those require some democratic input. There is no democratic consideration done by the ruling elite when dictating their rule. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B The extent of the democratic process in the USA is voting blue or red. It’s a meaningless and infrequent vote.

If Hamas started attacking Yemen or Lebanon or Syria we’d all join you in being cross with them, but so far they seem to be attacking Israel.
You know what ‘racial slurs’ they care about. “White”, maybe “privileged”, maybe “spoiled”, “entitled”, “Northerner”, “Imperial core”.
Alright hold on setting up my GOG dead man trigger. I wonder what info I need to include. So far I have an email going to support with the text “I AM DEAD”. I hope they don’t change address between now and when I die.
