DuckDuckGo have publicly announced a few weeks back that they will downrank all Russian news sites. Its the worst search engine to get unbiased news on this war.

This image never fails to make me laugh, and I’ve seen it at least 10 times by now.

Zelensky is a puppet president. He has absolutely no authority. If the US told him to resign today, he would.

That’s a bit beyond my expertise, but thanks for answering.

Follow-up question: Would setting it up in a way that it is connected to the internet, but when it gets disconnected, it automatically works over the network?

Reason: My country is going through rough times, and sometimes the internet connection is lost/gets extremely slow. It can last from 10 minutes to a few hours. I want to find a solution to this, so that we can remain productive without disruption (like if the internet went down, everything should remain working automatically without us interfering and losing focus)

Good question. Yes this can be solved. Lemmygrad (or any instance) can choose not to be part of the Fediverse, so that you as a Lemmygrad user won’t be able to see other instances, and they can’t see you.

The Lemmygrad admins also have the option to not federate with a particular instance, such that they are connected to the Fediverse, but not to fascist instances for example.

Lebanon. It’s more common in certain Chrisitian areas.

Whats sad is that it works very well, and not only on Americans. A lot of people in my country call themselves “Americanized”. Which I personally take to mean “I have an IQ of 50”, which is very accurate.

Of course. Some of them don’t though, afaik.

“I have come to support this religion.”

Said in fancy words, so it sounds like someone ancient has said it, like a Prophet Mohammad quote.

Lemmur is currently broken. Jerboa is your best bet. You can find an APK on github, or you can get it on F-droid afaik.

I’m from Lebanon. Any Arabs here?

What are they gonna do if he broke the contract’s terms? Sanction him?

Welcome comrade! Read the sticky posts to get a better feel of this place. There already are a lot of active communities other than !genzedong@lemmygrad.ml, maybe some might interest you as well.

We are fed the lie that the US is the most powerful country in the world since birth. Great to see it isn’t the truth.

Or just subscribing to the community should work.

China is the most powerful country on earth

That statement always gives me goosebumps

We should have a /c/SelfawareWolves

Maybe it’s because I haven’t tried VR in any meaningful way yet, but I can’t imagine VR going beyond gaming (not that this article implied otherwise). All this Metaverse stuff don’t seem viable to me that much. It will exist, I doubt it, but it will not be used in a serious manner in the long term.

I think the messaging industry has reached its peak. All niches have been filled already, and no new messenger can pass through. It is the perfect time to do something like this.

Note: By messaging industry, I mean personal messengers like Whatsapp, Messenger, Telegram, and Signal. I believe that Team/Group messengers like Discord, Slack, MS Teams can still be dethroned. None of them checks all the boxes.

Lemmur seems to be broken currently. I recommend Jerboa as an alternative.

Yeah, biggest let down since No Man’s Sky release. At least NMS got better.

He have said that it was Jif multiple times before.

Might be easier said than done since I don’t have active social media accounts, but my boss can just fuck off. I post on my private account whatever I want.

Agreed comrade. It is up to us the early adopters to inform others about the Fediverse, and to be very active, so that the communities aren’t empty when others come to join.

While I don’t really find the concept of interacting with Mastodon/Friendica using Lemmy useful, I agree that using federated services should be the future, as it is the only way to ensure our freedom and privacy.

Yeah never thought of that aspect. And pills + condom would be an overkill the vast majority won’t do.

I’m talking about privacy and freedom respecting services going out of their way to submit to western politics. I like my services unbiased.

This would be beneficial if you’re not a user, but want to watch a video that someone sent you. The main problem is that it lacks the FYP (For you page), which is the endless stream of videos Tiktok’s algorithm thinks you should be interested in.

Obviously, most here would agree that the lack of the FYP is a good thing. Not disagreeing, just thought it was worth mentioning.

And yet he can force them to do it.

North Korea has more than three haircuts.

My life so far has been a lie

It only took this long because Russia doesn’t want to attack Ukrainian cities in an indiscriminate way, which would result in the death of tens of thousands of civilians.

Great news, and solves a major problem. If this works and have higher chance of working than condoms, it will have a lot of other social implications as well.

Same, but I die inside.

Probably never gonna use it as I prefer KDE, but this seems like a great update.

Considering that we are on Lemmy, I think advocating a centralized service is a bit ironic. Matrix is the way.

No problem! Let me know if you have any questions.

I already made it. Here

After years of using Linux and recommending it to advanced and casual users alike, the safest option was Linux Mint. Similar interface to Windows, works great out of the box, and has enough GUI menus so that you rarely have to mess with the terminal. 100% recommend it over Ubuntu and PopOS.

Done

Some people don’t understand how Lemmy works because of the Federation, which might make things confusing at first. I will make a post explaining how things work to the new people, and the mods can sticky it/add it to the sidebar if they want.
