if it automatically goes to that website and the website downloads malware to your device, well, I wonder… Certainly trackers could be put on you that way. I am convinced that is why TAILS makes you go to their website before it allows you to go to the Dark Web or Tor.
well, most you here on Lemmy are liberal and make fun of preppers/doomers, but I wonder if you are seeing the light a bit now.
Is western media unbiased? Even WION is no longer as honest and impartial as it used to be - after Youtube temporarily froze their channel and scared them into submission.
Iran is my guess. Putin loves Europe - including Germany. Putin loves his people and white people. He is forced into this predicament and takes no joy in it. Russia has vast resources that others want. They also have new ports, sea routes, and highways - great new trade routes that threaten to affect western income.
more than a piece of land - its about securing their borders. NATO is danged-near surrounding them.
come see me and I’ll help you on your way to your permanent rest. better you than my loved ones or millions.
most westerners no longer live in reality. They make short poses for Facebook or Tiktok or Snapchat, they play video games for hours, they do anything to avoid researching both or all sides and to practice foresight, discipline, introspection. They numb themselves with constant convenience foods, porn, screentime of any sort, drugs, alcohol, etc. My hope for these warmongers are that they are forced to fight in the frontlines -even if they are female or 65 or have diabetes. Volunteering others to suffer isn’t “adulting”.
Yandex is not only a WEF member, but they also have an agreement with Uandex to allow Yndex browser to use Microsoft Suite - so i distrust it. Seeing that Microsoft has a contract with Ukraine gov’t, I suspect if Yandex isn’t filtering results yet, they will soon. The Hated One replied to me that Yandex (email or browser, idk) is worse than Google because Russian laws differ from those in the US.
that’s a good one. never heard them say that, though. I’ve seen the same attitude from COnsevative Christians, though, as I have from some zealous covid-will-kill-us-all nuts: they both glady burn you at the stake for not living the way they want you to. They both judge and judge and judge - but, say YOU shouldn’t judge others.
yeah, many LEDs come with the ability to change color and also light intensity. Some RGB lighting stips are uner $25 and have red.
I am an odd mix of being a capitalist (anti-fascims, though) and an environmentalist (naturally, that includes tree-hugging, veganism, and minimalism). Political discussion has its place, but in the wrong forums just makes some of us feel out of place.
Many of us fear feeling too deeply. I’d guess that is why so many of us escape into things that take us away from reality: soap operas/entertainment TV; drugs, alcohol, other addictions such as promiscuous sex that could hurt us, gambling, compulsive shopping that ruins our finances, etc. An online friend introduced me to vippassanna and sent me a wonderful poetic one-page article about it (lost it) and that helped a lot. Taoism and stoicism has similar teachings or thinking. It helps.
Just a thought (it may already be so): if a group blocks almost all discussion - including polite contrary opinions or facts, perhaps the group itself needs to be reported. The reporting wouldn’t be about censoring or banning, but more about making the power more equal, more Democratic. Yes, users can start their own groups and simply no longer use the group with the leader they think is domineering. But, it seems to still give the leader/creator of the group a bit of unfair advantage and people who want to be tyrants are more likley to start their own organizations. I haven’t thought this idea out and I am sure it is full of holes, but I’d simply like the power of use or access to be as equal as possible between group admins and users. Many positions in life attract those who might weild their power unfairly and I’ve seen that this is also the case in social media groups.
Right and wrong are relative to some extent and always have been and always will be. Who is to say the religious fundamentalist’s ‘decency’ is better or worse than (the obvious opposite) a Progressive’s? Who is sole arbiter of the truth? Shouldn’t it be more up to the individual? What ever happened to “Live and let live”?
My rights end where yours begin and vice versa. My main point will always be “you do you” or “good fences make good neighbours” or don’t trespass on my property or in my mental space. Values differ from individual to individual - even within close-knit families or within causes. As long as you don’t infringe upon another’s freedom (I include all animals - wild and domestic), you should be able to do as you please. Both Left and Right have one thing in common - both try to shove their values (“decency”) down the throats of others. Fuck you both equally. If that (do as I say) mindset isn’t offensive, then i don’t know what is! Be as this or that as you like, but preaching to me when I don’t wanna hear it is going to breed resentment. That is you wasting my time and mental energies. Live by your own values and if I see that you are content, healthy, and successful in one manner or another, maybe I will adopt some of your ways WITHOUT your saying one word to me. Proselytizing or ‘teaching’ me is so often rude.
can’t you stick to the OS and hardware (facts) and leave politics/opinions outta this? the community does matter if you need help, but how in the hell do they know your race, sex, or politics unless you wear them on your sleeve?
some call that censorship - depending on how strict or far they go. What one person find acceptable, another won’t. That is why I am trying to leave FF. Otherwise, I liked them. As soon as I have LibreWolf set up and am comfortbale with you, I am kicking FF to the curb.
China says it will take Taiwan back and that means war, so China will need allies. It is a happy coincidence for China that Russia and Iran are having battles right now.
