lemmy.ml shut down registration during the migration of sweaty reddit nerds.

ksynwa , 15 days ago

I don’t know about this API blackout. I am talking about something else entirely. When Reddit migration was at its peak, registrations on this instance (lemmy.ml). The reason given was that the devs did not want to overwhelm themselves with the abruptly increased administrative and moderation responsibilities. At that time, Lemmy (the software) was facing significant performance issues as well, owing to the fact that that many users had not used Lemmy concurrently before that.

On the other hand, I tried to find the announcement post for this. (I remember one existing.) But I couldn’t. Have I hallicinated an elaborate scenario? I am not sure. Will try to look again.

As far as I can tell, .world is great for the reddit emigres. There have been disagreements amd drama (as is tradition with online communities especially federated ones) but the instance is doing fine it seems.

I tried one distro and now the other distros confuse and scare me.

Where did you get all those subtitles from?

ksynwa , 25 days ago

My bad. I read the readme but not the post.

Pirate it. Simple as.Unless it has denuvo of course

For a live service game like Helldivers you could at least logically justify the account requirement but for an offline game like GoW it will just piss people.

ksynwa , 25 days ago

Not justifiable but one can weave some twisted logic to explain it. With single player games there is even less explanation.

Why doesn’t the app just let you enter the credentials in a settings page or something like that?

What’s wrong with ground news?

I would love to see a source for this. Even if this is true, it’s probably possible to circumvent regulations like this during war time. If elections can be suspended, opposition political parties can be banned then this is like possible as well.

Should also point out that five police officers were tried for this supposed massacre. The trial itself was shady as shit and Kiev Independent acknowledged that the Ukrainian prosecution sabotaged the proceedings. Out of the five officers on trial, the three that were tried in absentia were conveniently given harsh sentences and the two in attendance did not serve any time, with one being acquited.

What about Apple? From my limited knowledge their ecosystem is even more locked down than Android’s.

Culturally Russia sees itself as outside the rest of the world. At the very minimum, an equal to historical empires of Europe or Asia, but part of neither. It sees the USA as an ethnic mongrel with no culture or history, and hates the US power it projects globally.

I was wondering if you could provide something to back this up since these are rather sweeping claims.

The only thing I can think of that comes close is Dugin’s writings but I have never seen anything that could suggest that his ideas are widely accepted or adopted as the state’s doctrines.

The invading Russian forces have basically failed their first goal; to fully take over Ukraine.

Has Russia ever stated that this was their goal?

ksynwa , 6 months ago

Can you provide proof for this?

ksynwa , 6 months ago

Can you help me towards some starting points in the book where he explains this? Here are some digital copies of the book in case you don’t have one at hand: libgen.is/search.php?req=the+road+to+unfreedom&lg…

ksynwa , 6 months ago

I did try. I just didn’t find anything that remotely comes close to supporting what you claimed.

You are unironically sharing a quote riddled with "may"s and "seem"s from United States Military Academy

ksynwa , 6 months ago

Were you expecting some report about their magic mind-reading device?

But this is what you have been doing all along. Nothing in reality suggests that total annexation of Ukraine was the goal. Not the words of anyone nor the manner in which Russia has executed the invasion yet here you are somehow reading minds to conjure grand motives and subjecting me to smug Reddittor-speak for the crime of asking you to back your frivolous claims. “Gee, this is fun.” Jesus Christ.

ksynwa , 6 months ago

Gee, this is fun. Reality is not wishy washy statements from literal America military institutions. It just exposes you as someone who gobbles American state department nonsense wholesale uncritically. If you watched your Rick and Morty properly you would have known that it is not a smart thing to do. Reality in this case refers to what’s happening on the ground in the war. Like Russia holding it’s annexed territories rather trying to expand indiscriminately.

No, you’ve given me nothing to suggest I should care what your response is.

You are an idiot.

Are you American? No part of the article comes close to implying they want to target American civlians:

“To the Americans I say, focusing your threats on Hezbollah and the region are pointless,” Nasrallah said. The US said it “would not only attack Lebanon but will attack Iran.”

“Your fleets in the Mediterranean do not and will not cause us to fear. We have prepared for your fleet what it takes. You Americans remember your defeats from Lebanon (early 80s), Iraq, and Afghanistan… your humiliating retreat from Afghanistan. He praised the recent attacks by Iraqi Shia militias against US based in the region.

“If an all out war erupts your fleet will be no good, your warplanes will be pointless, you will pay a heavy price.”

They are clearly talking about defending against an American intervention. Hurting American civilians in Amrerica would be even more strategically stupid than cruel so I don’t know why you jumped to that conclusion. Maybe you are projecting the American tradition of imposing collective punishment on civilians as they do in cases of their interventions and economic sanction. Unless you want just to fantasise about Muslim hordes in which case you read it however you want.

It’s not legal. Still happens though.

In reality, the government of Taiwan is the real “China”. Mainland Taiwan is populated by angry traitors.

On what basis are you claiming this?

On Android, it’s a bit complicated but you if you are experienced you can use termux and yt-dlp.

You can use yt-dlp from a desktop too.

For youtube on android you can use newpipe. It allows streaming as well as downloading.
