  • Truthfully, people only put up with pocket because Google is worse. It does have a silver lining in that it shows Mozilla's true colours which we should never forget or let them forget. They're still Western libtrash bordering on fascism, but ✨open source✨. Even ignoring their political stance, the even worse thing about them is the fact that they are a for-profit corporation posing as a nonprofit. They treat their developers like shit just like Google, have an internal attitude of management knowing better about the direction of their software than the people writing them just like Google (their devs have repeatedly spoken out against Mozilla's direction to no avail), their management still hoards the organization's capital and there is a massive wage disparity between the CEO and board and the workers just like Google, they barely pay their workers while management makes millions not including bonuses just like Google, and their position in open source allows them to leech off the free work of community contributions not to mention direct donations from people who don't know any better. Mozilla is bourgeoisie trying its absolute damnedest to convince you they're not. They are not leftist in any capacity, a lot of the developers and other proletarians who work for them are I'm sure, but certainly not the organization. Pray for the day when we have a truly leftist and libre software group and Mozilla dies along with Google.

  • Personally, I think she shouldn't be on YouTube for a completely different reason. The internet is actually unsafe for children that young and there are a lot of disgusting pervs on YouTube. You're not supposed to be on social media till you're 13, and I think even that is too young, a safer age is probably 15 or 16.

    And as we've seen here, if you're from a country the west hates, you're a target. Even if you're a child. Not against people in the DPRK posting to YouTube, obviously, but for their safety it should be limited to full adults only.

  • Wait, I thought those were banned! The west would never lie about countries they hate!

  • I upgraded his ban from 15 days to permanent because clearly a 15 day ban is not going to do anything to prevent him from coming back with the same behaviour. Also very likely he was intentionally saying all that to get a rise out of everyone else, which constitutes trolling which is a no-warning ban usually.

  • Seriously, SK is projecting more than the projectors that were used to screen DPRK shows.

  • Better yet, you're not forced to download the entire history of every torrent ever to download one torrent. And you don't have to host every torrent ever to host one torrent.

    It's easier for Chinese people to watch "banned" US media than it is for Americans to watch Chinese media from within freedom land.

  • Hey, can I get a preprint of that counter-paper you're submitting to the Lancet?

    Major Covid report suggests virus could have leaked from a US lab

  • Interesting how the libs are way more doubtful of this than the China leak one, despite this one coming from a major western biomed journal.

  • Lemmy.ml admin who banned him here: Not sure I have that much to add to the convo, but I will say I'm really disappointed at this. Still think the ban should have been upheld but the admin that reversed it outranks me so my hands are kinda tied.

  • Nature approves.

  • Holy crap never expected people in the modern Czech Republic to be so comparatively based! Always assumed they were like modern Poland.

  • Might have transferred it through China, Russia, etc

  • Suddenly the cryptobros don't like the fact that anyone can use it anymore.

    Pedophiles paying for CP and murderers paying for hitmen? That's just the cost of currency freedom, apparently (not making it up, I've seen cryptobros defending both under the guise of if you suppress them you suppress everyone). But a country the US hates paying to feed its people? Now that goes too far!

  • Unless you're a Patsoc as in Socialism with Patrick Star characteristics. Then you're a valued member of this forum.

  • Done, thanks!

  • Not pictured: the seething sarcasm.

  • Yeah, the part of the queer community that's not dead from Nazis.

  • I made another comment about that.

  • As for the first part of your comment, no. Being in the official military of a country is not a crime or entering into a criminal conspiracy, so if a soldier goes rogue and decides to do something they shouldn't, that's only on them. However, if a commanding officer orders a war crime, and it's carried out, then yes, everyone in the chain of command below that, and is associated with the war crime, is a war criminal. Like, say, the US pentagon ordering drone strikes on a hospital. Just trace metaphorical lines from the people that ordered it, and their subordinates, and theirs, all the way down to the people who did the actual act. Everyone that touches that tree is a war criminal. In fact, under the laws of war, soldiers have a legal duty to actively refuse any order they know to be a war crime, and it's a separate war crime to punish a soldier for refusing to commit the original war crime. "I was just following orders" is very explicitly not a defense, IIRC this was actually passed internationally after too many Nazis used that line.

    Also, an official national military is a special case where most civilian laws don't apply, that's why we have military law and military courts. But the same is not said for a paramilitary organisation like the Azov.
