Proton seems on the wrong side of the usability - privacy spectrum. Every last feature I’d want from an online provider is impossible or massively neutered by the overly strict security.
I wish there was a similar service in a trustworthy country with a more sane level of safety, like opt-in encryption for example.
Kannst du mir eine soziale Bewegung nennen, bei der die Gegner/Nicht-Anhänger nicht auch immer das gleiche behauptet haben? MLK war Public Enemy #1, und alle seine Proteste und Marches wurden auch immer als “falsch” oder “nervig” oder “zu aggressiv” angesehen. Das gleiche für Feministen, für Gewerkschaftler, etc.
Wenn alle Bewegungen deinem Standard folgen müssten, hätte die Hälfte der Menschheit immer noch keine grundlegenden Menschenrechte
Warum glaubst du, dass das Problem ist? Inzwischen wissen alle um mich herum notgedrungen, wie man vegan lebt und kocht. Trotzdem bin ich der einzige Veganer.
Diese Informationen sind auch schon lange überall verfügbar.
Der Hauptgrund warum die meisten Nicht-Veganer nicht Veganer sind, ist der gleiche Grund, warum die meisten Nicht-Feministen oder Nicht-Anti-Rassisten oder Pro-Kapitalisten oder Abtreibungsgegner oder Anti-Klima Leute es sind: Fehlende Überzeugung, bzw. die fälschliche Annahme, sie seien im Recht.
Was haben die alle gemein? Sie werden einen Scheiss tun und sich freiwillig über das Thema von der anderen Seite informieren. Sie bleiben, soweit möglich, in ihrer Bubble, wo jeder zustimmt, oder zumindest jeder jeden “leben lässt”, aka presence of a negative peace is more important than working towards active justice.
JEDE FORM PROTEST IST AUS SICHT DER GEGNER ZU VIEL, ODER FALSCH. War schon immer so, wird immer so bleiben.
Protest und Aktivismus müssen stören!!
Is a VPN even worth it for that use case? A seedbox won’t cost that much more, esp. if you factor in electricity costs from keeping your machine running. And getting to 1.0 seed ratio is also much easier.
Just in general: More sane defaults, less RTFM. Sure, you can configure everything, but MUST you? A lot of opensource developers seem to believe that configurability is a get-out-of-jail-free card for having to provide a good user experience out of the box.
While it wasn’t 100% free from hate, Heroes of the Storm had significantly less of it. Similarly, GW2 has a far friendlier community than WoW, because game design does matter.
Wasn’t that Blizzard/Riot?
Am I a poor little victom instead of an oppressor because I didn’t personally create patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, heteronormativity? If I keep supporting those systems, at least when I’m an adult, I am an oppressor and fully responsible.
Well, thats only a relevant distinction if they meaningfully differentiate between Hamas and Palestinian. Considering they’ve talked about using nukes, that they think sacrificing an entire hospital full of innocents to maybe kill a few Hamas, and that we DAMN WELL KNOW how racism means generalizing anyone of a group to be the worst kind of that group, and the fact that the totally un-Hamas west bank is getting ethnically cleansed too, it’s incredibly naive to think they’ll leave any reasonable amount of palestinians alive.
I remember when copying data wasn’t theft, and the entire internet gave the IP holders shit for the horrible copyright laws…
I loved how that game managed to have an A E S T H E T I C that was absolutely gorgeous AND perfectly matched the games themes. It’s also one of very few games where the open world-edness isn’t just a gimmick, but is integral to the game play. A real detective doesn’t get LEVEL COMPLETE messages or 10/10 CLUES FOUND.
Oh, and finally everyone was hot and the music is an absolute banger.
I want a shooter-esque game crossed with MOBA stuff. Basically, I just want Monday Night Combat, Battleborn or Gigantic to come back.
ANY effective, long-term collective change REQUIRES that the large majority of people CHANGE THEIR CONSUMPTION HABBITS. While not great, the private plane stuff is exactly as pointless as the paper straws. Both are ways for everyone to point the finger at everyone else, and not have to change.
If the government implemented the “correct” laws tomorrow, but the populace doesn’t want to change their habits, they will vote in people that give them back their old, bad things.
If a company implemented to “correct” processes, but the consumers don’t want to pay the necessary price, they go bankrupt, and the company with the “incorrect, but cheap” processes wins.
ALL COLLECTIVE ACTION IS A COLLECTION OF INDIVIDUAL CHANGE. There is no alternative!
Writing a CHIP-8 Emulator was really fun. There’s a lot of resources out there and it’s really fun, small low level project you can “finish” in a week of casual coding. As someone who was mostly coding highlevel in my job, I really learned a lot.
The Prime Video example was more like moving from nano-service insanity to sanity. They basically split EVERY POSSIBLE STEP into separate lambdas. They switched to still using microservices, but they do all transcoding steps for a single video on the same microservice instance (aka sanity).
Nier Automata. I really hated the replaying it part. The combat gets incredibly boring after the first two playthroughs. I also found the supposedly “deep” story to be extremely lacking, very on the nose and, like way too much japanese entertainment, bipolar when it comes to emotions.
And then it turns out some horrendously ugly piece of plastic (like the Kinesis Advantage 360) is better for actually using.
I use Lemmy for the “general” undirected browsing when I’m bored. I also increased the friction by removing Reddit from my bookmarks, and adding Lemmy.
I do still use Reddit for the smaller communities that have no realistic alternative on Lemmy.
How so? The system of patriarchy is beyond any one individual to solve. Yet I’m damn certain you believe every man should still do their best not to contribute. Why should the system of animal exploitation (and environmental destruction, while we’re at it) be any different?
Is it because one of these requires actual work on your side? You are the one measuring the same thing by two different standards.
