What I have learned from these lists is don't download poorly made games and you should be good for the most part.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Creepy. It’s a good thing that I rarely download applications on my telephone, and the few that I do have seem to be unaffiliated with the apartheid state.

You know, The Shivah, that PC/cellphone adventure game that anybody can beat in only a couple hours… that’s done more for Jewish people, and the rest of the world, than all of these applications put together have… I’m just saying.

I've realized that there are like a dozen apps top that I actually use. I basically just need email, calendar, music player, browser, and a few chat apps for 99% of use cases. I pretty much never download random apps, and when I do need something I always check f-droid to see if there's an open source app that will do what I need first.

Would be nice if it was structured as a list so we could easily check our devices for them. Idk why they didn't add a list at the end of the article.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

yeah seriously

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I don't like The Grayzone but, otherwise, yeah, would've been helpful.

This article seems helpful at least, but yeah, just give us a damn list.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Ever since Ben Norton was let go, the Grayzone alternates between incredibly insightful news into the inner workings and oppression of global Amerikkkan fascist imperialism, and reich-wing nonsense.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah they just haven't been the same since Ben Norton left. He really was keeping the whole thing sane and grounded.

On the plus side though, Ben is apparently doing really well and is just living his best life in China. I'm happy for him.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I'm incredibly jealous of Ben Norton.

Not that he owes me or anyone anything, but I emailed him once and introduced myself as a fellow comrade, and while he had no reason to trust me, and I wasn't expecting him to offer any assistance or very many tips for my family and I to get to China, I was hoping he could point me in the right direction, and I was fucking crushed when he basically told me off.

I really wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but I didn't want to burn that bridge.

And he didn't even have an ounce of courtesy or anything.

I think he's a douchebag now.

I love his content, but as a person, my opinion of him really fucking soured, and it hurt and pissed me off because he was a personal hero of mine, even though I don't like to idolize people.

It's true: Never meet or interact with your heroes.

Conversely I talked to Kit Klarenberg a couple times and he was super nice each time

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Kit Klarenberg is really fucking cool. And so is Kevin Walmsley. I've actually emailed Walmsley, and he is a very good guy.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Not really. It's just support for ACP freaks and Covid conspiracism.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago

I've rarely seen support for ACP on the Grayzone, but I don't browse the site often.

I'm banned from Twitter. But I'm 99 percent sure that you're right, sounds like something those douchebags would do. I'll take your word for it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, the one that heads The Grayzone is a real piece of work. That's why he had a falling out with Ben Norton.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm aware. Max Blumenthal is a tool.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

To be fair, from what you said, Ben Norton seems aloof and arrogant, to some point, so that probably contributed to it.
