Don’t say the big R-word or they’ll remove your post. That’d be POLITICS! Even if it is directly related to what you’re talking about.

It certainly looks that way.

Counter argument: The maintainers could “easily” relocate to a country that is not currently conducting an invasion to enlarge its territory.

Probably butthurt because Linus kicked out maintainers connected to russian entities.

Is the megathread outdated? It has entries that both don’t work anymore and were already removed in earlier versions.

In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don’t pay.

Honestly as a German, torrenting seems to be way too risky. Internet providers will immediately cave when they are contacted about an IP adress they control and there are multiple law firms whose only business model seems to be sending out c&d letters.

I wonder if you remind your child of a specific memory they made daily, if they will remember that moment till their adult life.

I think Lemmy/Mbin would benefit from ‘moderation pools’. The basic idea is that, if you subscribe to or join a moderation pool, your instance will automatically copy any moderation action taken on content your instance also hosts. This would allow multiple single-admin instances to moderate even during off-hours of any single admin.

Depending on where you’ll live exactly, look up the local train and bus operator. If you’re in a city, chances are, you won’t even need a car most of the time.

Also get ready to install a different suite of apps. WhatsApp is big in europe, although Signal is obviously preferable when possible.

Go visit hexbear.net/PPB (nsfw) for a good reason why one might want to defederate from them.

To believe that Turkey would block those apps because they are spyware is absolutely ridiculous. They are getting blocked because they won’t allow Turkey to spy on their users.

This article is getting saved, for the next time some idiot proposes ‘lawful backdoors’, which will inevitably happen.

I bet you could argue in court that the EULA is null and void, because you can’t be reasonably expected to copy that link into a browser to read it

Probably smart to take it down. What he did could be construed as hacking.

Russia can claim whatever they like. They started this war. They started it in 2014 and they have escalated in 2022. Ukrainian Nazis weren’t and aren’t a big issue, certainly not as big as in Russia. The claims that Ukraine was suppressing ‘Russian minorities’ were completely fabricated. And why is it that that all post-soviet nations seem to be awfully eager to join NATO? Curious. It’s almost as if they fear being annexed by Russia. Luckily Russia isn’t currently fighting a war of aggression to annex a former soviet country, right?

In that it makes it open. In capitalism, ot is assumed that everyone is a selfish actor. Under communism, everyone is supposed to work together for the greater good, and when they aren’t, you can’t call them out, because they would accuse you of ‘undermining the unity’. And because they tend to be in positions of power, you will end up in the Gulag.

But it is that selfishness that communism can’t control for and that capitalism only dampens the effect of. You need a system that counteracts those selfish tendencies in order to reach lasting stability.

I bet you’ll vote for Kamala then, to prevent Trump from making true what you fear will happen, surely.

Keep coping. Maybe ask Dylan Burns for his opinion on the matter, if you want to hear from someone who’s actually on the ground.
