Returns? My wife does the same as your coworker, but anything she doesn’t like they refund her and tell her to keep. We call it Freemu.

The free market will provide guillotines if the people truly want them. /s

Any problems I’ve had with these apps has usually been solved by reconnecting my VPN.

NewPipe or PipePipe.

Because they liked Twitter, and Bluesky is (presumably) like Twitter before Elmo bought it.

Most people aren’t going to bring the butter back in.

This is an attempt at reverse psychology.

Vegan life! I’m coming up on 25 years vegan this summer :)

I hadn’t looked at FOSS image album software in awhile, but I recently installed Immich on my home Yunohost server. I am very happy with it so far. It is miles better than Nextcloud photos, and I’m honestly blown away by how well the facial recognition works. I’m also enjoying the “x years ago today” highlighting feature, after seeing proprietary platforms have that for so long.

The thing about moral principles is that they are inflexible. Think about it like the draft during Vietnam. Some people refused to go fight because of moral principle. A common argument against them was “if you don’t go, someone else will go in your place”. Soldiers still go, and the immoral war continues whether you participate or not. I would not go to fight in an immoral war, and I will not politically support a genocide. I know it will happen anyway, but you cannot make me participate. I refuse.

Is this worse than funding a genocide? And has Biden not had 4 years to reverse this? To be very clear: Fuck Donald Trump. But why do you people act like he is all powerful, but your leadership isn’t responsible for anything?

“Actively supports it” is absolutely a description befitting the Biden/Harris administration, in regards to this genocide.

Look, opposing genocide is off the table, but we’ve got a bunch of republican endorsements and a fortnite map!

I haven’t read your post, but I set this up a few years ago after finding this post: https://golb.hplar.ch/2019/01/expose-server-vpn.html

I use this everywhere. Regularly get discounts on gasoline.

Banning Israeli contributers too?

Ah, the daily whinge-fest on Lemmy.world. In my 3 decades using the internet, I have never found online communities that are so consistently in opposition to US propaganda as the .ml’s and hexbear. .World is so militantly US-liberal it puts reddit to shame. You can find such opinions all over the internet, but real left wing politics are much rarer since you basically have to self-host them, unlike the corporate friendly liberal and fascist politics.

Chinese guy goes to China and doesn’t push any commits for awhile. Simplest explanation is that “the CCP” has abducted him.

It doesn’t “involve the country known as China”. The country has nothing to do with it, which is why it stood out to me for someone to be fearmongering about China. If it was an American or Australian dev, I doubt very much that concerns would have centered around their nationality.

Chinese blobs are no more or less trustworthy than any other blobs. The Chinese government is not more or less willing or capable to force a Dev to do the bad thing.
