> Ruined tourism
gemini://gem.sdf.org/bronzie94/gemlog/20241109-1.gmi
I do not agree with this piece, I even started drafting a response to it, but I think "ruined tourism" is debatable, considering this is posted on Geminispace.

With classes! 🤩
…
With classes, right? 🥺

You aren't alone, they've played us for fools!

Не одобрял её заигрывания с анкап-плебсом, но раз уж такие дела — так и быть, возложу цветы 😳

@kevinrothrock
Won't be hard to believe if true 🤨

@lizzy
Does it at least run Rocket Leaguecy of the Hearth of the Stone Void?

@gordoooo_z
I feel you! The distaste for modern technology I've developed over the years might be one of the reasons I'm procrastinating and subconsciously sabotaging getting a job in this field 😩

@p @vic
I can't even come up with a good explaination on why that was done — this preference looks zero maintenance cost to me, it's like four lines of code that require minimal to no testing; other than receiving a call from their Google HQ with something like: "No one likes our image format that is actually video compression cosplaying image compression — do something about it!"

@p @vic
> I mean, it should be possible to find out, right
Of course it is! On my build machine I would just check out the commit that was used for building it, start the rebuild process and snatch the config, but I'm not — and I'm a lazy ass looking for other options😅
> The only mitigation against the stupid webp exploit was to turn webp off.
Can you imagine it? They have removed that option in like a week or two after that vulnerability got discovered!

@gemlog
And I don't think that the war would go on indefinitely, and that this regime is forever, but it still makes sense — irregardless of the outcome and when it comes, it would be really gloom here, I expect it to be much worse than in the 90s Russia: all these "defenders of the motherland" coming back home with guns on their hands, former "police" looking for side-jobs due to lack of funding — even outside of freedom of speech and good mental health it's truly scary shit😱

@gemlog
Yeah, it's been a side-bussiness for them for quite some time already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_VPN
Actually, I think I started using their email because I was looking for a good VPN provider 😄
> very hard for him to actually move to europe
It's certainly a challenge and it's much easier when you're young, but it's not impossible — I have friends who did an who would help, for me it's a matter of finding a job that… you know, won't make me want to kill myself 😅

Боже, как круто!

@gemlog
To be fair, our "law enforcement" is probably just not interested in Fedi yet — I doubt that those who are smart enough consider me a threat, and those who are least intellectual probably use more mainstream platforms as their "feeding ground".

But I still have to rely on Proton and spend numerous hours on finding entry nodes (and ports on them) that still work — I should probably get a job and move to Europe already, less time wasted on this and better for mental health.

@gordoooo_z
My Android device can last 5-7 days on one full charge when it's not acting as a VPN gateway. On Sailfish it can only last up to two days. The explaination — I barely use it 😅
With pmOS, I expect my battery usage/charging patterns would be the same as that of an average person using mainstream mobile OS.

@kaia
Hey, my daily usage is about 3Gbs!
You'd be surprised how little you use if you don't watch videos.

@KraftTea
I'm not saying that other Russians are university professors, but the ones taking part in this war are certainly the least bright ones 😩

@johnb @molly0xfff
Quite a shock for me too — to me people using ortholinear keyboards are mythological creatures I only see online, I never knew they could possess real humans 😅

Maybe I should try using one myself 🤔

@alison
At some points it indeed does!

(FFS Shaft, did I ever ask for Bakemonogatari the manga in 1080? 🤣)
