Again, it wasn't a non-aggression pact, it was a *friendship* treaty😂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Soviet_Boundary_and_Friendship_Treaty
Criticize the West all you want — you can do that without whitewashing Stalin. Calling Boundary and Friendship Treaty — that's the original name of what was signed a week later in addition to M-R pact, a non-aggression pact definitely looks like an attempt to "give it a proper spin". Don't do that if you want someone to change his mind and not only appease those who already agree with you.
@mjdxp curl is banned in 15 states, most TUI apps are also schedule II. There is this shit they call "top", pretty popular among teenagers, they obtain it illegally from unsigned repos 😱
@adiz It is 😂
I would be very much surprised if that was true.
My mom is there now, but just as a tourist and that is just a weird coincidence.
@adiz Why Abkhazia? Are you from Abkhazia?
@stereo I didn't know that, It's hilarious! And kinda makes sense.
Well, except for top shelf stuff like Ampere Altra 😄
@stereo Mine even has a 3G modem built-in and I have a SIM-card with unlimited, albeit slow, data plan. Also even with its battery at only half of its original capacity, I can still get 3 hours of juice out of it — I'm pretty sure I'll find uses for it. The only problem, like I said, suspend to RAM is bugged, it used to work with Linux 5.4 kernels, but it would be real nice to get it to work with at least 6.1 ones.
@stereo Yeah, exactly what I was aiming for with mine! Gemini browsing with amfora and lightweight web, I have w3m with images working in a sixel-capable st, Matrix chats with gomuks and Fedi with tut. I use the same TUI software on my more capable machines, but it's all so lightweight that they even work on this one and with zram even at the same time. Even surf works and I'm able to browse Twitter via Nitter, it's slow-ish, but bearable. All in all, it's still a capable machines for its niche😂
@Piejacker875 @ArtBear Formerly antifascist is also good! 🤣
Are there people who genuinely believe stuff like that? That Putin is fighting fascism? 🤨
@stereo @PINE64 It's quad-core and has two gigs of RAM! How's that slow? 😲
I have this thing: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/110475696279937726
It's a dual-core ARM netbook with only 512 Mb RAM and I still don't think that it's useless. It doesn't even have NEON, that is precisely why I've had to rebuild the whole Void system from scratch to run on it 🤣
I think I'd actually use it more once I figure out a way to fix suspend to RAM. Maybe I'll even replace the panel with a better one and the battery.
@theorytoe That is privacy-centric for you!
I think the shortest is "pm.me"
@staidwinnow @lowqualityfacts
"Give it another shot" 🤣
@lore This pressure from customers sounds nice in theory, however in reality companies use noncompetitive practices to tie you to their products/ecosystems so they can force shit you obviously don't like on you. Apple does that and does it a lot — everyone does, all the time. With opensource you at least have more control over it, it's easier to pack your bags and wave goodbye without replacing half the hardware you own.
Okay, you probably know all that and it was just a hot take 😄
@theorytoe One of my cats would love getting reloaded like that 😹
@enduser@toot.io @safiuddinkhan I used to be a leader of an underground band with a cult following, but it was so underground that even the band members had no idea where one can download our albums or get them on physical media 🤣
@adiz @moffintosh I have a very different impression of this. I don't think that Stalin personally was antisemitic, but he wasn't against throwing Jews under the bus for the sake of appeasing his ally. I don't have any link at hand, but there were many Jews in higher ranks of NKVD and they were getting replaced as cooperation was gaining steam. So yes, there was no partaking in the genocide, but Stalin had nothing against that either.
@janantos @tchambers @ipg Precisely! That is why I have WebP, WebM and VP9 disabled in Firefox and refuse to use them. If it is controlled by Google, it doesn't matter if it's opensource or royalty free — sure, you can fork it, but everyone will still use their implementation. Just yesterday I was reading how they are trying to get rid of JPEG XL on the grounds that there is no demand for it, looks like there is, them having no control over it seems to be the real reason: https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/07/apple_safari_jpeg_xl/
@safiuddinkhan Does it use U-Boot? And U-Boot can do that, the Shift thing? 😮
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
