Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So… he’s okay with genocide if the people fight back?
Pretty sure Jews resisted the Nazis 100 years ago… does he think that wasn’t a genocide either?
Also TIL “genocide” is a bad word on iOS. You can’t trace type it, you have to tap it out like a Neanderthal.
Genocide
Got it on Android
Checkmate, other phone people! Swipe-typed and everything. Come to the EVOLVED mobile OS /s (don't, Android is a piece of shit and getting worse)
You're preaching to the choir. I've used Android since 2010 (and iOS since 2016). I have a 2024 iPhone 16 Pro Max, and a 2019 Galaxy S10 (years included to make a point, they aren't part of the name of the phone and those phone models did not have releases in other years). Guess which one types better. Not to mention the customisation. It's also not that much slower. It's really not slow. I'd make it a daily driver if it had a newer battery. The thing only lasts a couple hours. Absolute joy to use when it works.
I can argue in favour of either of them, or against either of them. At the end of the day, one is made by an advertising company but has more options, and the other is made by a computer that sucks up to its country's supreme ruler and treats its users like children. Neither platform is "better". They both suck, and they both do a few things well. Most of the things people do are done at least acceptably on both.
The big change with Android I think you're referring to is the 24-hour lock on unsigned code. So right now (and forever with my S10 because it's not getting updates anymore), you can install a .apk (Android Package) from the Internet and it just works, just like a .exe on Windows or a .app on macOS (what I use). So with Android in 2027 or 2028 or whenever they are going to do this, you will need to go into the settings and enable unsigned code. Otherwise, no .apk installation for you, you must go through the Play Store. However, if you do do it, you must wait 24 hours for the feature to unlock. So, say I buy a new Android phone that has this feature. Being a savvy user, the very first thing I'm doing is enabling that setting. Then I'm gonna go install Nova Launcher and its Prime unlocker, Poweramp, and all my go-to Android apps. When the 24 hours is up, by then I'll have things set up how I want, and then I can start installing stuff from outside the Play Store. I can't think of anything, but I want the ability to decide for myself. The problem is, and the reason this feature exists, is if you want something right fucking now, you have to wait. So scammers will make an app and they will try to get people to install it. Those people would enable the feature and then have to wait 24 hours. Google is hoping that in that time, you realise installing some sketchy app is a really bad idea, so you don't do it, and maybe turn the feature back off. Of course, "trust us, our app store is safe" is almost always bullshit. Apple was found to have been harbouring, and profiting from, a fake cryto wallet app that stole over a million dollars from a half dozen plaintiffs who are suing. This was an app in Apple's App Store that they said is safe, and they lost many thousands, in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars, on Apple's promises. And of course Google is no better.
Poweramp's global eq should actually just be part of the os.
I don't use that feature, but I'm curious. Does the trace type permit other -cides, like suicide, homicide, patricide, infanticide, etc? I can't help but wonder what the limit here is.
What about homi-cider? Cider made by my homies
