Huh, thanks. I don’t quite understand it but I guess a token makes sense. Similar to how I can use reddit with VPN when logged in, but not without. I don’t even have a youtube account any more though since they forcibly degoogled me by demanding my phone number.
So is regime change to bring about a liberal democratic government also considered cultural genocide? Like if I’m working against the Saudi monarchy and Wahhabi religious order of laws (which is their long term culture) am I guilty of genocide?
Was the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan cultural genocide? Is forced rendition or even “nation building” genocide? Guantanamo? Rendition?
Are Starbucks and McDonalds guilty of genocide for spreading their “franchises” (Temples of a neoliberal globalist culture really) everywhere?
Is the “culture war” against the institutional racism in the USA a cultural genocide? After all it’s a culture of racism… are the atheists really conducting a cultural genocide with their War on Christmas!? Oh God! Are we the baddies???
If you’re in Finland, don’t deny any of this! It’s illegal now!
PS: Sorry this is a late reply, and obviously it’s argued to absurdity.
I use freetube without anything but the issue is that my VPN is blocked now, and a self hosted invidious or piped won’t help with that, right? I imagine I’m going to need some kind of split for the VPN, where some apps don’t use VPN.
But even freetube is somewhat clumsy for queueing videos and proper theater mode without borders. Using Youtube is becoming more and more cumbersome lol.
I wish there was a simple executable that pre-downloads and buffers my youtube channel videos and then just launches an optimized local web server that has good UX.
Divide and conquer. Non state-actors and special interest have a far easier time attacking a hundred small entities than one big one. Because people have much less bandwidth to track all this shit than it is to spread it around. See ALEC and the strategy behind state rights.
In the end this is about economic power. The only way to curb it is through a democratic government. Lemmy servers too can be bought and sold and the communities captured that grew on them.
Yes. Cooperatives = co-ops. Let the workers (and possibly users) elect management and what to invest profits into.
But what if the magnets reprogram your brain to just not notice thee differences? Ever think of that? Obviously you can only question the infernal power of the heliomagnetism while wearing a tinfoil hat.
Easy. Nationalize social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with the mandate to enforce strict moderation on hate speech.
No, “cultural genocide” is not genocide. There is a pretty clear legal definition:
… any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
The F-droid app is complete garbage, also they don’t make it easy to install apps that are open source but don’t follow GPL. Obtainium is perfect, just point to git repository. Now all we need is a P2P source control service.
I feel the same. Besides what you mentioned, there is also the effect on what news and content will be produced and shown (see Manufacturing Consent). The advertisers who are the customers of shows want the viewers in a buying mood. So while “if it bleeds it leads” works fine but controversial topics that disturbs people or make them think will not be shown.
Best example is youtube - once the demonetization came there must have been significant effects on what topics were discussed and how. Without sponsorings and patreon it would be worse, but this or rule is shaping our global civilization for the worse.
People pay far too much attention to ideology, but it’s the rules of a system that lead it to converge to different outcomes. And advertising is a big one.
If this doesn’t go through, impeach him again and more protests. Again and again and more.
Reading the headline I thought this would be about something space related, like unfolding solar sails.
Something like Munchausen by proxy?
Well I’ve always hated Visual Studio. It installs so much bloat, it is more like another operating system installed on top of your existing one. It’s an abomination.
And no matter what they call VSCode, for what most people need to create software it’s a perfectly fine substitute. I guess you should call it a DE, a development environment since compilers are not “integrated”. But that is a good thing, to be able to install compilers separately. On the other hand if you install compilers, the addons to integrate that compiler into VSCode. Maybe it’s an “integrating development environment”? :D
You can’t install any new regime without at least the military ignoring a revolution. And then the current elite stays in power.
Yeah done that now :)
Yeah, I’m just too lazy to reinstall and copy over my settings to VSCodium.
Supporting open source projects by small teams has been the only good thing MS has ever done. Imagine if MS would even partly open sourced part of windows. Like there are bugs in explorer for 3 decades that just don’t get fixed lol. And then there still would be bloat and shitty things, but it still would be better.

Shapley publicly alleged that the Department of Justice had “slow-walked” the investigation into the younger Biden in an interview with CBS News in May 2023.
But if Musk installed him then he’s probably a corrupt piece of shit
Microsoft Terminal vs the default Command Prompt haha. VS Code vs Visual Studio.
In general software is one of the rare thing where ordinary people can “mass produce” things that compete with commercial offerings.
That’s not true! No matter what kind of billionaire he was in life, now he is a good billionaire. You might also say that all dead billionaires are good billionaires.
