When someone says “death to America”, they aren’t saying “death to Americans”. A government/state is a regime, not all it’s people, despite how much as nationalists love to stoke that sort of patriotism. So I have no problem with the slogan, I call for the fall of the US imperialist regime.

xcancel is just one Nitter instance (just like lemmy.ml is one Lemmy instance). I recommend sharing the load around to other working instances, or better yet, as Avatar of Vengeance mentioned, use the LibRedirect browser extension which automates this for a huge range of other websites.
I haven’t given it a try yet, I’ll have to give it a read.
(just checking you actually meant schizoid, which is notably different to schizophrenia. both could make sense here but imply different things)
Nearly all media is state controlled. Even privately owned media companies because both the media and the state are just tools the owning class uses to maintain power.
More info on this:
I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.
Now the noob is using wepb for a bunch of rasterised vector graphics with 4 or 5 flat colors, and he’s wasting more disk space than before.
I just tested with this image:
Default GIMP WebP export settings (90% quality): 88.8 kB
Lossless WebP mode: 85.6 kB
Default GIMP PNG export settings (compression level 9): 189.8 kB
So I don’t trust this claim unless you have some evidence.
Was tempted to troll lemmygrad with this classic meme: https://lefty.pictures/post/view/15726
In fact, it should still be the default unless you need something it doesn’t support or really need to reduce file size.
I disagree. It is wasteful (we’re talking ~30% savings with lossless WebP or JPEG-XL) and widely misused, which matters at the massive scale of the Internet with technically inexperienced people making up plenty of those images.
I haven’t been around these communities in a while, so I can’t really speak for /c/privacy as much as /r/privacy and other communities, but I’ve noticed far far far far too many posts which are blindly perfectionist, with no consideration of threat capabilities or their motivations. Privacy is futile without a realistic threat model, that’s how you get burned out solving non-problems and neglecting actual problems.
My threat model is largely just minimizing surveillance capitalism and avoiding basement-dweller neo-nazi stalkers from connecting any dots between my online personas and real life identity. Even for that, my measures are a bit excessive, but not to the point where I’m wasting much time or effort.
Daily reminder: “more private” and “more secure” are red flags. If you see or say these, without a very specific context, it’s the wrong attitude towards privacy and security. They’re not linear scales, they’re complex concepts. That’s why Tor Browser is excellent for my anonymity situation but atrociously insecure to anyone who is being personally targeted by malware (tl;dr monoculture ESR Firefox[1]). That’s why Graphene is not automatically anti-privacy simply because it runs on a Google Pixel and Android-based OS. (Google is one of my main adversaries.) And I think this simplistic ‘broscience’ style of “[x] is better than [y], [z] is bad” discourse is harmful and leads people into ineffective approaches.
You’re not just gonna leave us hanging without a link, right? …right?
What are the most important differences?
On the other hand, AI recycling could be an issue on other platforms where user reputation matters more. We don’t have ads or karma tallies by default so its less abusable here.
Same, but I still like this recreation. It has a culture jam aspects to it, like Sonic ‘Ethical consumption’ memes.
I, for one, insist you homecook me rustic poorly-edited memes daily. Taking a meme and editing it is not what memes are about!!
Zionism is a movement which attempts to convince Jewish people that they are unsafe in their community, and can only be truly safe in the zionist ethnostate.
Antisemitism is a movement which attempts to make Jewish people unsafe in their community.
Zionism aligns in goals with antisemitism. They can both agree on making Jewish people feel unsafe enough to move to the zionist regime. In fact, in my country and at least a couple of others there’s already been concrete evidence revealed of links between Zionist organizations and racist White Nationalist events, like shared speakers and copied rhetoric/memes as propaganda.
Other replies have already alluded to this, but it’s important to state clearly.
This is not a phenomenon limited to Zionism, we see it with other separatist projects too, like the US Nation of Islam allowing the leader of the American Nazi Party to speak at some rallies, for example. [wiki summary],[famous image]
Ah, that makes sense. I rarely-if-ever play heavyweight games.
Doesn’t cut what? Web browsing? Watching videos? Playing new games?
Since when was 8GB RAM, let alone 8GB VRAM, a problem? Are you running ML models, video editing or some special games?? Or some weird poorly-written thing like Windows OS?
In my tired daze I mistakenly read ONLYOFFICE as OpenOffice and was about to yell No!
The article does well and links to their other article on the OO 9.0 release, which explains why it’s probably a smarter choice for this office situation when compared to LibreOffice:
