On Lemmy, it’s a sin to make money off your work, especially if it is opensource core projects providing paid infrastructure/support. You can only ask for donations and/or quit. No in-between.

why would they want to anger their global surveillance channels?

Also I remember while teamspeak was paid, discord was free.

Itsfoss is blogspam and often have many mistakes and wrong info. People should really stop posting links from them.

Most professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.

Constantly under attack?

When was it ever separate?

must’ve been a Russian psyops. USA isn’t that incompetent in itself. oh wait…

It doesn’t stop wanks from blaming it on Putin, still. LMAO

I mean the US gets to shape the narrative everywhere else by making the social companies to do so, but the people removed about how they’re being manipulated in return is always going to be hilarious.

Lemmy is being overrun by brainwashed wankies more than anything.

There have been a few narratives this election which seem to have been tested out on here weeks before getting to Facebook and reddit. “Blue MAGA” was a pretty obvious one they seemed to workshop on Lemmy

can you post some links?

Internet is not a place for public discourse, it never was. it’s the game of numbers where people brigade discussions and make it confirm to their biases.

Post something bad about the US with facts and statistics in US centric reddit sub, youtube video or article, and see how it divulges into brigading, name calling and racism. Do that on lemmy.ml to call out china/russia. Go to youtube videos with anything critical about India.

For all countries with massive population on the internet, you’re going to get bombarded with lies, delfection, whataboutism and strawman. Add in a few bots and you shape the narrative.

There’s also burying bad press with literally downvoting and never interacting.

Both are easy on the internet when you’ve got the brainwashed gullible mass to steer the narrative.

Everyone prefers free until they have to contribute to actually making things better. Most popular opensource project are funded by corporations for a reason.

And now they go silent.

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

If you’re aligned with the west, anything goes, without consequences. If not, you’re a terrorist whether you like it or not.

Techcrunch has basically been an ad network for companies who want to promote themselves. Other open source projects probably don’t have a budget to pay for an a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶ ad spot.

Competition is going to make things cheaper and the global markets has significant effect in world politics. Why do you think US defends Taiwan so much? because of the kindness in their hearts? Get real.

This has been proven time and again throughout history. It’s probably a bit strange because of your prejudice.

The rest of us can’t wait for competition to make it affordable at large and not being bound by monopolies. Everyone gets to choose where to buy the chips from. If that doesn’t alter world politics you’re too out of touch from reality.

Everyone wins except people like you. I guess.

You really shouldn’t be using software that is in alpha stage of development, as the only browser.

There may be bugs and vulnerabilities no one has run into yet and bork your browser data.

is anyone stopping you?

but that’s like giving a broken iPad to a monkey. And don’t feel bad if you’re Chinese, it would be the same if any other group of people tried to make it.

And this is why they’ve been beating every hurdle the west has put up against them. Keep equating people to monkeys and wait for them to shit you on the face. Fuck the CCP, but there are probably more people than US, Germany and the Netherlands combined working specifically in chip manufacturing in China.

If you only ever think there’s just one solution to a problem and everyone else are monkeys scratching their ass. You give them more reasons to beat the odds.

Keep it up though.

Tech has gotten cheaper since China got into the race and the whining on the other side has only made it more enjoyable.

The article is exaggerating the guy’s setup way too much. Opsec doesn’t end at the application level… The OS (the most popular being in bed with US), ISP, tor nodes, Honeypot VPNs, so on and so on could leave a trail.

Using telegram public groups and obfuscating a calculator as a password protection layer is hillbilly level of security.

And i’m glad these fuckos don’t have the knowledge to go beyond App developers marketing.

It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think a bump in a version years down the road, keeps them secure while the browser in iOS needs whole god damn system update to upgrade.

You wait for that patch for a Safari vulnerability for whenever Apple feels like it but Android devs can push patch and deploy within days or hours. And also sideload it, if a really important fix would take a long time through regular channels. And also there’s more than 1 browser engine on Android, so all users aren’t vulnerable to the same exploit at the same time.

But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.

Doesn’t Google play store also modify and build the binary themselves to “generate and deliver APKs that are optimized for each device configuration, providing users with more efficient apps”?

their smell would cover hers

it’s funny how in later seasons, zombies lost all sense of smell, (probably because of ageing? but new zombies were the same I think)

The smell didn’t matter at all, if you just wore a dried up zombie skin head mask. Then you could be part of the herd. They could hide right next to a zombie herd passing through in the ditch. You could get really close to a zombie from behind.

Zombies basically just turned into extras in that series. Poor fellas got nerfed hard.
