I'm pretty sure the user is referring to France there.

Yea, good points, it remains to be seen if the push for socialism/nationalism in those countries is a) genuine and b) will actually work and not just result in a situation where the old thieves are replaced by new thieves.

Putin is [...] pushing the anti colonialism narrative everywhere in West Africa. It is working to an extend.

Regarding this, I was also super confused by this article: Burkina Faso's new president condemns imperialism, quotes Che Guevara, allies with Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba

It paints a very favorable picture of President Traoré (from a socialist, anti-imperialist viewpoint, really stuff that I find interesting and support, worth a read), but then:

On July 29, Traoré had a private meeting in Saint Petersburgh with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In their talks, the Burkinabè leader praised the Soviet Union for defeating Nazism in World War II.

Like, I cannot even imagine the awkwardness of that moment ... 🤦‍♂️

Maybe he just had no other friendly things to say, who knows, but it's also possible that he fails to understand that modern Russia is NOT the Soviet Union.

But yea, hoping for the best.

Ok forget the article. You seem like a reasonable and critical person. Why in your opinion is France becoming less and less welcomed in African countries? Is it simply because of disinformation and antagonization, or could there also be other reasons?

I think the criticism is not about companies doing business, more about that those companies are owned by France and that nigers population doesn't really seem to benefit at all from those businesses.

Apologies, didn't fact checked and didn't meant to spread misinformation. Allow me me to rephrase the unanswered question:

Defend it's asset huh?

But isnt it weird that nigers uranium produces ~6% of Frances electricity while only 11% of nigers citizens even have access to electricity?

Defend it's asset huh?

But isnt it weird that nigers uranium produces 40% of Frances electricity while only 11% of nigers citizens even have access to electricity?

But where are you running photo prism?

If you just want a place to backup photos, I'd use something safe and reliable (I use windows one drive cuz I have one TB there anyway) in combination with cryptomator. Literally cannot go wrong.

Never trust stuff that sounds too good to be true. Companies like pCloud sometimes have lifetime offers of like 1000 TB for $200 or something. But a quick search will lead you to countless complaints of people that got their account disabled for some kind of 'violation of terms'

Interesting that the top comment is this:

Not in favour of this. I chose Lemmy.world because I wanted an instance that would federate even with people I might disagree with. If it's illegal and abusive, sure. But to defederate on ideological grounds? I was planning a recurring donation but this makes me consider setting up my own instance. They're welcome to whatever discussions they want to have on their instance. As long as they respect the rules of other instances when they're here, then everybody wins. As for their point about dismantling western propaganda - if they have documented sources then let's have a conversation. It's not like there isn't western propaganda

I don't remember which episode, but the podcast blocked and reported described exactly that that is what's going to happen to the fediverse. Sad.

(found it. The conversation is about mastodon and starts at 43:30)

Yup, I can confirm this firsthand by quoting my South African friend:

Dude I don't give a shit, we just want to destroy the US and then invade Europe.

Pretty based stuff huh?

Don't like to read? No problem. Here is another source not backed by CIA: Video interview with Abdul Tursuntohti, imprisoned in Xinjiang.

I never tried to make a point. You asked for a

single source that doesn't come from the CIA backed propaganda outlet about Xinjiang?

I simply provided a link to what you asked for.

And it goes on.

Then read on.

Yea lots, here is one Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation

Literally speachless! Could that mean that installing hedgefund billionaires as prime ministers without any kind of election might not be the best approach to tackle some of the chalanges we face?

Pinkest Pink!

• its like really pink!
• everyone can buy and use it, expect some idiot named Anish Kapoor

Yea but I can also do that with any chat app that I have open on both devices anyways

Oh interesting. But they also write

Android 10 prevents apps from accessing the clipboard to prevent malicious apps from accessing your data. This makes the clipboard plugin in KDE Connect uncomfortable to use.

😕

"Having money is nice, I want to have a lot of money because I love spending money, and I want my personal freedom regarding the way I spend my money. I work hard for my money, and so do others. That leads to innovation and progress and is the only way to preserve freedom. Therefore, I support capitalism, and therefore, I am a capitalist."

Great question!

Unleash your spirit, yet never lose sight of the collective wisdom! We are stars in a cosmic expanse, each shining brightly with its own light, yet contributing to the grand spectacle of the universe. Reach for the zenith of self-realization, but remember, our ascent is a symphony, not a solo performance. Balance the dance of self and society, marching on the unstoppable path of unified progress!

(man I wish I wrote that, but it was GPT 😔
