There’s nothing wrong with thinking highly of a country, especially one on an upward trajectory in so many ways: working to end world poverty, end dependence on fossil fuels via a green energy revolution, and put a stop to the low-wage trap that US imperialism has imposed on the global south.

The only reason these seem offensive to you, is that you’re propagandized to hate the geopolitical enemies of the US police state (and its vassals), so anyone saying something positive about them must be heresy that demands a public condemnation.

If I spoke highly of any other US enemy (like Cuba or Venezuela or the DPRK), it’d likely evoke the same reaction, but if I spoke highly of a neutral country like Tanzania, Malaysia, or Switzerland, it wouldn’t need the same condemnation.

I have an open issue to try to get a developer strike going for the keepandroidopen project, but unfortunately it hasn’t gotten any attention from the maintainers.

I make like 4 android apps and would be more than happy to remove them from the play store by the deadline, especially if more devs were involved.

Another badass version of this is from Omar Mukhtar:

Do a lemmy search for him on either hexbear or lemmygrad, if you want to see his history, and current stances. He’s a proud war criminal.

He went to war against the people of Afghanistan and Iraq multiple times, and iirc served proudly at one of the US torture camps in Iraq.

Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck fail, and everyone in the theatre cheers.

This one got me.

Saddening to know that he won’t have to endure the tortures he inflicted on civilians.

Was staunchly team vim for 15 years, but now I’m on helix. As another user stated below, its like if vim were re-designed today, and without needing any addons to be a code-aware editor.

Rust already has one of the best text editors: helix.

Then just take notes in markdown.

I have this going continually.

Fill a quart mason jar with 15g of hibiscus flowers, add water, put it in the fridge, and wait till morning or evening. Filter it out into a water bottle, and repeat by adding more flowers.

Then once the jar is full after a week or so, make jamaica tacos with them.

No probs!

They used 2 different no-content accounts that were made over a year ago, but had no interaction until now. Its pretty transparent at least.

Good of course, as long as the torrents stay seeded (at least to a certain ratio). I haven’t kept up with all these sonarr advances over the years.

Torrenters : Communitarian / communist, sharing to strangers for the communal good.

Service-enjoyers : Individualist consumers, paying to rent data (not own it) from capitalist media companies, shares nothing to the community.

You can go into the jerboa settings to force it to use thumbnails I described above.

There’s also a new release today that drops the metered network check from the data-saver.

I have yet to read this book, but The Palestine Laboratory is supposed to outline how a lot of the surveillance and weaponry used today are first developed and tested in Israel to aid the occupation, then exported to other countries.

After nazi germany defeated poland and their government collapsed and fled, the USSR either had the choice to let the nazis continue unhindered eastward, or to move forward. This action saved millions of lives from the nazi’s scorched earth campaign which included mass rapes. You can read more about this here.

Also noteworthy: in 1939, Stalin offered a million troops in a pact to the UK and France to stop nazi germany.

UK and France refused the offer.
