He won’t. He’ll just have a million of “convenient” reasons why Russian terrorism is good, because it’s a terrorism against “bad west” and fascists and liberals. Like all of those ml bots always do.

“I'd rather go to Russia." Well duh. We could tell.

Do you think he’s aware that their beloved Russians are bombing a country every day for few years now…? But I guess that’s fine for people like him, because obviously - Ukrainians are bad because they’re supported by the “Satan West”.

Why do people on Lemmy always find a way to make everything about liberals? That’s what I’m getting tired of. Whenever something happens, people come up saying “well yeah, liberals suck”. How is that better than the thing you’re arguing against? If you’re tired of “satisfaction with hypocrisy” of one group, what is your prefered group doing? Is there someone actually doing something about it? Because I only see people writing stuff on internet forums, regardless of their affiliation.

Oh I agree that there’s an “international hate campaign”. It’s just that they’re all a part of it.

[-] Vlado@feddit.org 7 points 1 year ago

I agree. I just don’t like the attitude where internet is already declaring “victory” when so far not much has been done.

I understand that people got angry (partially because of “Canada + Europe vs USA” stuff; partially because people are already pissed at Big Tech). I also understand that inside of niche communities people are trying to do something and are getting hyped.

The problem is when people start extrapolating the view of “their” community to the whole world. “Everyone is ditching big tech! I read about that every day! (In a community populated by likeminded people)”. And suddenly there are “victorious” headlines and people get complacent. “Yeah Big Tech, you lost… That’s what you get for messing with us”.

I might be preaching to the choir, but we shouldn’t get complacent this time.

I wouldn’t say they lost. Not by a long shot. I understand the sentiment of “let’s get rid of them! Now’s the best time to do that”. But there’s still A LOT to do to make that happen.

But obviously - let’s contribute to that as much as possible.

They would be dumb if they didn’t do that. Did anyone expect something else?

The lineup of games which they presented is quite impressive (from Switch perspective). But I’m curious what will be actual real life performance of those. I mean, a lot od things they added are cute, bute the performance is #1 motivation to buy a new generation.

I’m looking for an application for managing of time-sensitive reminders. For less time critical things, I’m perfectly fine with having e-mail reminders. But for those “do at 18:00” kinds of reminders, I was always using the default iOS Reminders application.

Now I’m trying to reduce my dependency on Apple ecosystem, so I’m looking for something that:

  1. is multiplatform (iOS + Android, no desktop application needed)
  2. allows sharing of lists with other people (for example, grocery lists that I’m sharing with wife that we can both contribute to)

Nice bonus would be if it wasn’t behind a subscription, but rather a one-time payment. Is there something like that which is also European?

What are you favorite European weather applications/webpages? At the moment I’m using https://www.yr.no/, but I don’t completely like the design of their application. I mostly don’t like the fact that each day is split into 4 segments instead of showing one line per day. It might sound like a minor thing (and it really is), but if someone knows other good alternatives please share your experiences.

I’m looking for a store where I could buy e-books which are usable by Kindle. I don’t use the e-reader that much, so I don’t want to buy a completely new device as the old one is perfectly fine. But I also want to have an option to use it from time to time (Amazon already got their money so it would be a waste to buy a new device)

My main problem (and please correct me if I’m wrong) is, that stores which I found mostly contain books in epub format (with DRM) which can’t be opened by the Kindle and which would need to be converted via 3rd party applications.

Are there some good stores with ease of use that’s similar to the Amazon’s one? Buy a book, send it to device, done. Or do I need to accept, that I will need to somehow convert books before using them?

I’m not an expert in this field, so other people might have something else to add, but my takeaway is mostly - do not rely on phone services. Don’t use MFA via SMS, etc. Most of the issues described, you can avoid if you’re careful, except the geolocation issue.

[-] Vlado@feddit.org 7 points 2 years ago

I did the same and so far I’m satisfied. Browsing here makes me feel the “old internet” feeling.
