Nnnyyeeeeeeeewwwww

.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.

You’re looking specifically at the metaphor I used instead of the principal. Let’s use a more direct comparison. Operation Paperclip brought more than 1600 former nazi scientists to America to develop technologies that they worked on for Hitler and Nazi Germany. Aeronautics, genetics, medical studies, etc.

I’d imagine that most worked for Nazi Germany under the threat of death or imprisonment, but there’s more than a few that worked enthusiastically for the nazi party given a sample size that large. Am I supposed to respect Josef Mengele and the people that worked under his supervision for the medical advancements made under his cruel and torturous experimentation of jewish prisoners? And no, that’s not a rhetorical question. I actually want you to address that question with a simple yes or no.

Ope, must have struck a nerve 😂

Maybe I’m wrong, but the fediverse and technology like Activity Pub existed long before Lemmy. So irrespective of the “creators” it would have been developed by someone eventually. Do I respect the work that they put into it? Sure. Do I respect them? I guess in some fashion, since they’re human beings. Do I respect their hateful ideologies? Fuck no lol

And Steve Jobs believed he could cure his cancer with acupuncture and dietary supplements. Does that mean that I should respect him because he innovated the iPhone? Lol

Lol. The classic. “I’m not going to read that.”

They’re a pretty textbook example of a tankie group. To even join the instance you have to copy and paste a paragraph from 1 of 2 communist texts and any criticisms of China and/or Russia gets you banned lol. I would honestly not be surprised in the slightest if Russia or China were funneling money to the Mali government to actively encourage radical communist behavior on the .ml domain. Mali was another failed communist country afterall. The .ml users often support Russia in the Ukrainian conflict and act like Western countries are forcing capitalism on the world because sovereign countries like Taiwan and Ukraine are actively trying to assimilate into western culture and establish capitalist democracies. Their proposed solution to another nation choosing to distance themselves from the failed communist autocracies they were part of is to forcibly invade, detain, relocate, and resettle the land with communist friendly nationals.

Unrestricted capitalism is bad, but it’s demonstrably not as bad as the attempts at “communism” over the course of the last century that almost always end up becoming a communist autocracy. (East Germany, Soviet Union, Cuba, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Belarus, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Poland, North Vietnam, Hungary, North Korea)

Communism ≠ socialism.

They have literally zero to do with the reason I can post. My instance is still federated with @lemmy.dbzer0.com

I will never give a shoutout to lemmy.ml for anything. They run a tankie lovefest of an instance.

These men and maybe women will be remembered in the same echelon as the men that served for Easy company during the Siege of Bastogne.

Something to do on a Saturday night. Sit down with the fam and scroll through the code with a bowl of popcorn to pass around.

What the hell even happened? Did a grenade cook off right as he was getting up close to him?

$50 in humanitarian aid is just as effective as paying directly for ammunition. That still allows them to rebudget from their economy to war efforts, so i wouldnt worry too much about it. Otherwise there’s countless numbers of links to donate money for drone purchases.

Spotify can be configured to auto download, but you need to open the app. To my knowledge it doesn’t auto delete after listening, but when it reaches the 4th latest release it is deleted. Personally i prefer that they’re not auto deleted after listening because i like to share some podcasts moments with my SO.

Its true. Many people believe that anal sex was invented by the italians, but that too was invented in ancient Greece. The romans merely took it and adapted it for use with women.

Troop rotation was a criticism of the Ukrainian citizens already. Hopefully the rotations won’t sacrifice efficiency, casuality rates, or any of other millions of factors in this war. And I especially hope the high-tech weapon upgrades don’t lead to more financial loss on the lines and less stability in funding. Good luck and godspeed Syrskyi.

LTT did a recent video on android streaming stick options and they were really impressed with Onn. believe it or not.

Anti air defense exists and artillery has limited range, so you’re potentially risking the life of a fighter pilot, which is arguably the single most valuable position of any country’s military or risk hundreds of lives pushing the front forward to allow the artillery systems to deploy within striking range. While that’s happening the armor could be moved or even worse, the areas within range are already zeroed by enemy artillery and when you deploy the artillery systems, shells start raining on your position.

Given these two options, its far more responsabile to force your enemy to mobilize such a large invasion force into strategically predetermined routes where artillery is already zeroed in, drones can lie in wait, mines have been laid, and the complex logistics of assault supply can be distrupted.

In a way, they’re making a point. Just because they provide internet shouldn’t mean that they are the ones that should pay damages to record companies. But neither should torrent client developers. If you can’t catch the end user, then that’s your problem. If you’re that concerned, make your material more accessibile.
