A .world user singular, complaining about .ml users plural. I'm complaining about the regular pattern of some users and it is frequent.

This is a regular narrative that all .ml users are tankies so are not worth engaging with and yeah, it is insulting.

You don't know me and that's fine. I'm not sure why your recognition of me is relevant? Am I irrelevant if not known? There are 10s of thousands of users on Lemmy. I put time into moderating 2 big communities here for the greater good, but hey, because I'm on this instance, I'm seen as "tankie" scum.

Another day, another .world user complaining about .ml users.

Usually the ones complaining are usually abrasive pro-US imperialist types.

I'm from the UK, so screw Russian and American foreign policy and those that shill for China make me nauseous. I'm on .ml from when .world couldn't keep their servers up. My main alt died with lemm.ee (RIP).

User on .world account complains about .world moderation.

This isn't a new problem, folk have been warning about it for a long time on Lemmy. Folk didn't want to hear it. I personally have zero confidence in their moderation. The cases I saw lacked impartiality and occasionally maturity. There are better instances. .sh.it.works for example.

I cannot imagine an organisation that appointed these moderators/admins would do particularly different on a mastodon server.

Best you can do, is move away from .world so folk see there is more out there to the fediverse than them. All eggs in the .world basket is a scandal waiting to happen.

Lol, never happened to me in almost a decade of using systemd. Windows update was a constant blocker.

I hear India and some other Asian countries are very high.

Partial or attempted is part of the definition of genocide. You really should do your research before you start arguing on definitions.

Words don't mean what you want them to.

Kdenlive is worth a try for desktop usage. Might be a little overpowered for mobile.

It's been learning from github in terms of downtime. Still winning though.

Loving the passion here. Great post.

I really struggle to grow from seeds but I'm good at reviving struggling plants. Need more practice.

This is whatabouttery. I care about Darfur, Myanmar, Tigray, etc. That doesn't take away from what is happening in Palestine.

You have yet to describe why any of those situations are worse than flattening schools, hospitals, collapse of healthcare, full blockade of food, medical supplies, water, people living in camps where disease is rampant.

How is Iran killing a number of civilians worse than killing civilians, starvation, disease, shooting babies in the head?

All your post is doing, is showing bias, and a lack of care about what is happening there. The problems is you cannot persuade someone to care about human suffering, and if you don't, why should I engage with you in a logical debate?

Your problem is, you don't care, and you want people to be fine with you being fine with children being shot in the head. You're on a left-leaning platform where people give a shit about their fellow man. People who give their time to work on open source generally have empathy as a core view.

Post your pro-Israel views on Xitter, or reddit and you'll get the validation you prefer. Its an echo chamber close to yoir political persuasion. You enter a place that think differently and prepare to be challenged. Ultimately, if you want to be an empathetic human being, prepare to be wrong. Can you handle that? Your bio suggests you won't engage if downvoted. I've not down voted you, but I'll tell you you're wrong. I say you're wrong because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and I'm assuming you're not evil.

When the pattern of behaviour gives very clear indication of intent, the denial of this indicates that either you're in favour of it, or don't think it's a bad thing.

When what folk see makes them feel sick to their stomach, such as a child being shot in the head, or families being shot in line for food due to a scarcity created by those making the people line up like animals, it's going to elicit a visceral response. I personally could not fathom how a human being with functioning empathy could be fine with that.

You've already stated you like discussing with people of privilege. That I'm alright, Jack attitude when it comes to life and death is pretty disturbing. What makes us feel is what makes us human.

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

A few months out of date, but I'm keen on the project and waiting on the latest installment. As content here is a little dated, it cannot hurt to get this here so folk can dig into it more.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
