Just wanted to give an update that I started learning Linux. It's been a pain in the ass to look up every basic thing I could do in Windows without thinking, but I'm sure I'll get it down with enough use and googling for every error. Only been using it a couple days so far, but already starting to prefer the console over the UI for some things, thanks to the ability to quickly repeat old commands with the up and down arrow keys. It's kind of exciting, like I'm starting the first steps to join the Linux club I see so much on Lemmy.
Okay that's a lot of good points. Totally forgot about Yemen. A lot of this stuff wasn't televised as much, so we didn't know. Shows the power of alternative, people-powered media, like Tik Tok on the ground footage.
Do you need a seedbox to maintain your ratio? I've thought about looking into them but don't want to pay some monthly fee to get a couple hard to find things, when I could just torrent from my plex box when I need to.
Not America, the greatest country in the world according to Lemmy.world, at least they must think that to always uncritically consume their propaganda.
He didn't enable a genocide at least. Although I'd say his handling of the financial crisis is up there with Biden ending pandemic benefits way too early.
Ya but when it's posted on a social media they can't control and you aren't American, they can't stop it. It's why videos of the genocide were all over Tik Tok but not US social media. The US does the same things, but with Instagram and similar (even in your first article it shows they have that capability and worse. Which checks out, I've had Instagram and FB make ad suggestions for things I've searched on completely different apps or web pages, or sometimes just something I've talked about.)
I would argue that Chinese controlled social media is better if you're trying to get past US censored channels and surveillance and you live in the US. Same if I was in China, I'd be saying the about US social media probably.
Of course fediverse service would be the best case scenario.
The Chinese aren't the ones firing people for posting pro Palestinian things on social media or attacking protestors on college campuses or protecting white supremacists in Oregon or Washington. That's our agencies, our cops.
I work in software but wouldn't mind getting better at the administrative side of things myself. It means I probably have to learn Linux better, though.
They exist but I only ever see them in ml threads, maybe like two or three, or other instances that .world isn't federated to but lemm.ee is (like Lemmygrad and hexbear). I haven't seen one in a .world thread since the defederation and yet it's still the top comment every time there's a thread on China or Russia.
Didn't know they changed owners. That's unfortunate.
