I'm heavily pro-Ukraine, and not gonna pretend that the playing field is at all level. But to be fair Ukraine attacked gas pipelines and refineries (reportedly supporting Moscow with up to 50% of it's oil) less than a week ago, can they still complain about power infrastructure being targeted?

I mean obviously they can complain about everything Russia does, but this specific point just seems a bit odd?

Ah, I didn't catch that this deal to not hit energy infra was after Ukraine hit the refinery and oil pipelines.

An emergency doesn't necessarily mean your house is on fire. Recently I read a text saying that while the situation is dire, cities on the Russo-Ukrainian frontline which are targets of bombings on a daily basis still go about their daily routines as normal. But they are in an emergency, and a pamphlet like this hidden away in a drawer somewhere could definitely be useful.

My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

That said I've had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.

Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you'll be able to get things from most other places too?

Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn't make any videos myself and don't know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I'm overlooking.

Hungary is not a net contributor to the EU, you ain't funding shit you're being funded.

I don't think so. I'm in Sweden myself.

I don't know if tuta and posteo have some special privacy features, but if you're just looking for a non-gmail provider I've been very happy with fastmail. It's an Australian provider with a good track record afaik.

Would also highly recommend getting your own domain if you can, so your address doesn't belong to whichever provider you choose.

But there is no such implementation AFAIK? How is it making Typescript faster if it's a completely new implementation?

But certainly, in theory it could become unshackled from JavaScript. Have there been any serious attempts to do so though?

It's not. IIRC that's the final step to obligate us to join the Euro, and the only requirement we're not fulfilling (willingly, despite majority wanting it but because we voted against it a long time ago).

I feel this should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about programming, because typescript is just a development tool not a runtime.

Finally the Swedish crown is doing well. Feel it's been in the shitter for ages now.

Netscape went bankrupt so might not be the most solid idea for funding. Wasn't opera paid before too, but abandoned that model?

Not sure how you read pride into this at all, the implication is that if they don't know about it it's not a choice, while at the same time acknowledging that perhaps I'm just out of the loop.

Did they really? I assume they would do more research than me when choosing tech, but my initial reaction is "the fuck is a Jami?". Is this a big app in recent years?

The one good thing I could think of is that Firefox could come under new management. But then again, how that management will be funded I don't know. Likely they will run in to the same problem as Mozilla.

Totally get it. I love my Garmin, but would prefer a classic dumb watch over a Galaxy Watch (which I had before) or any other that requires charging more than once every week and which I wouldn't be comfortable with getting wet (even though they should handle it well).

Notifications are the main feature for me, I was never a heavy smart phone user and the notifications on my watch allow me to pay even less attention to my phone. In addition I can deal with deletion of unwanted emails immediately instead of doing them in bulk every few days like I would otherwise. Saves me a lot of stress, YMMV.

Lemmy has thunder?

Might need a dub

idk, Trump doesn't seem to give two shits about TSLA. The whole presidency doesn't seem to have been a great deal for Musk at all (assuming he's not eating out of the treasury or something). xAI doesn't get AI endorsement and oil industry takes priority over Tesla at every turn.
