My feelings about beehaw as a community changed today, which is why I’m leaving.

But I will give some thought to it. Maybe if the admins don’t delete it I can leave it in place and the comments and posts can be of some use to someone.

😆 No, I meant Windows. I gave it a brief shot after some trouble with Linux gaming, but the user experience was much worse.

I tried once the last decade and it was a pretty bad user experience.

It seems that the Ukranian strategy of baiting out the responsive back-line troops and then hitting them with advanced and precise artillery and with drones is working.

High reported Russian losses of artillery systems in these last weeks, and the deployment of KA-52’s to compensate is interesting.

Hopefully what will happen is that Ukraine will continue this way, with the minimum necessary losses during probing attacks, until a weakness in the back line is found. A force concentration attack backed by heavy drone and artillery strikes might then prevent the Russians from patching a hole in the line.

All that effort just to not install uBlock Origin.

As it says, several countries already gave in

Do we actually need people afraid of CLIs to host anything? Sounds like a hassle.

It’s because they need you to have all the spyware installed.

Collecting all your data is part of their business model now

Exactly. Reddit was dominated by small groups of controlling mods.

Decentralization means freedom to try something better.

Typical corporate lawyer speak.

We’ll have to see, but by my past experiences with Tankies and other authoritarians, I don’t expect reasonable behavior.

They are trying to force users into their app is what they were thinking.

Since the developers are the problem, it’s probably not likely they’ll implement. But I’ll keep on eye on this and maybe contribute if there is a soft fork.

One nice thing about kbin is that it isn’t run by pro genocide, North Korea loving Tankies.

I have to hope that main instances will stop federating Lemmygrad at some point. There’s no place, IMO, for genocide denial/affirmation and authoritarian extremism on platforms like these. Or any platforms.

Edit: Seems this is unfortunately unlikely as the lemmy.ml instance appears to be moderated by a genocide denier and authoritarian.

The evidence I’ve seen is compiled mainly in these posts:

The most disturbing thing I’ve seen is the evidence that Lemmy.ml is controlled by a genocide-supporting red fascist/third positionists. If that’s true, its a massive issue and makes the platform hard to trust.

Very open to learning that this isn’t true, if it isn’t.
