  • Gesturefy: Navigate, operate, and browse faster with mouse gestures! A customizable Firefox mouse gesture add-on with a variety of different commands.

  • Why does the repo have a different icon than the addon? Very confusing.

    I've been using Gesturefy for many years. I'm making heavy use of next, prev, close, reload tab actions. Sometimes I use primarily keyboard, and sometimes primarily the mouse. Left or right hand, combined, or just one of the two. I love Gesturefy.

  • It's because they represent the people that they have to investigate whether the platform acted as a neutral platform or as a manipulative foreign agent sabotaging society.

  • Looks like the target page got removed. It no longer exists, nor does a search yield an article on their site.

  • What question are you asking?

    If that's how you understand communism/a communist country to be, and that's not the case, then obviously evidently it is not a communist country.

  • Not in favor of the poor: Russia's official poverty figures drastically underestimate the actual scale of poverty in the country

  • I didn't read it as with urgency like "breaking news!" but as an assessment or statement. Which seems fitting for "documenting stuff".

  • I stumbled over this video going over what's in the leaked data dump (14 GB of text) and potential consequences (it's pretty good/concise) [timestamped]: https://youtu.be/j84gB2cbNps?si=msCVMyQzdCaf-VHs&t=474

    Before the timestamp is more info on how their platform works and how they got hacked.

  • Hi Kima!

    Are you flipping out? Do a flip! 🤡

    What made you go for a flip phone? Looking at a review of the Cat S22 Flip, was it its robustness? Or physical input design?

    I'm surprised such a product line is available again. Not in Europe though.

  • It's bad publicity. A failure to protect their customer data and people may cancel due to it or evade them in the future. It's also an opportunity to report on or discuss their other criticisms.

    I can't speak for them; but it still seems like viable and productive activism to me, whether they do direct or indirect [monetary or personal] damage or not.

  • It's not even a blow to his pocket if monthly pay continues. They modified the chat service, not their payment operations.

    If it's only email addresses and chat logs I wouldn't call it doxxing either.

  • I don't think that causation is evident or certainly or obviously factual. The negative interpretation is something you learn and internalize from your environment. You seem to already be in it, so I'm sure it may be hard to see an alternative. But I imagine education is neutral. And having zero power is an absolut defeatist mindset that is a conclusion of a lot of input and experience rather than a natural mindset from access to education.

    I'm sure there is an alternative way of life, if the environment were different, if education were different, not less, but a different environment and approach, that people could become concerned but confident and active rather than scared and defeatist.

    You said zero power. But looking back, every big social shift was in situations where individuals felt powerless. I can certainly see and feel powerless. But looking back into history, I feel like that individual conclusion should not be extrapolated to our society overall, and in consequence, ourselves as individuals within that society.

  • Very good.

    With that many camera scenes and him walking towards or away, I repeatedly thought of how he must have went back and forth to place or get the camera. Factually walking the path three times. For so many cuts and places. That's quite a commitment.
