  • Libs: "RuSsIa MaN BaD!!"

  • I agree, but only one of those 2 countries has proclaimed (in law if im not mistaken, but i may be wrong) that they would intervene militarily to prevent one of their own from being tried by the ICC, regardless of the actual crimes they've committed. And im talking about sending special forces to extract said alleged criminal against humanity, from another sovereign nation, abiding by its own laws.

    Guess which of the 2 I'm talking about? Russia is by no means the good guy, but its not a binary issue, as most people on the internet seem to react when these 2 countries are mentioned in the same sentence. Russia being 'bad' doesn't automatically make the US 'good' and vice versa.

    Sure, who's worse shifts back and forth over the years, but to my eyes, currently, the US is worse, and its been that way for a long time. Way before trump. Anyone who thinks this all started when trump took office, is a bit deluded.

    But you're 100% right, send both of them to the ICC, in an ideal world.

  • Would you consider it a good deed if a rich person gave a homeless person 1 euro while not around other people, and then went around the city proclaiming they support homeless people and have been funding them? In my opinion thats not a good deed.

  • Wow, I never knew about all this. Its quite shocking since in my limited knowledge of FUTO I was under the impression that they support Open Source and are generally good.

  • This seems like a good thing. As they state, instead of just using OSS they'll contribute back to existing projects and likely release some of their own stuff.

    Hopefully they stick to it

  • Are there any headphones produced in Europe/EU?

    Jump

  • Im not too sure about that, personally. Tbh i got them for free in a promotion when i bought my FP5 phone, and while I have used them, its not been much simply because at home on my PC ive got my regular headset, or if i want to do stuff like clean or cook I just switch to the external speakers, and at work, again, headset.

    Pretty much all use cases for me involve my phone being in my pocket or hand (e.g. out in public) and in that case they've been really good to my experience. Granted I'm no audio guru so definitely check out reviews from those who are relating to that aspect if you (the reader) plan to get a set, I can't complain honestly.

  • Fairphone. While im not sure theyre manufactured in Europe, they pay the factory workers fairly and have fair working conditions for them.

  • Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?

    Jump

  • Im not saying that nor advocating communism, im just stating that what you said about the reason you think people only do those jobs, I believe at least, is false simply by counterargument. Ask any one of the people who enjoy that kind of work environment if they would ever work in an office, closed in a room seated at a desk all day, and most would probably say you couldnt pay them enough to do it. To them, even if you DO give them more money, its not a reward/compensation because they value different things.

    Im one of the office-type people. Id like to think what I do has value to society, and I believe I would do it regardless of the compensation/regardless of if I got the same money as a lumberjack, because I enjoy it. Thats another angle: if everyone is paid the same, why not do what you enjoy. If what you enjoy is being in the woods cutting trees, or on a boat in the sea, or in a tower in isolation for weeks (fire watcher), or any number of other "undesirable" jobs, and youd still get paid a living wage for doing that, same as everyone else, why would you ever subject yourself to something miserable for you, for no better reward?

  • I see. If at all avoidable, id like to avoid bambu if they are on the path of locking down, despite how easy they are. Opennes is really important to me, so if I didnt go for bambu, nor creality, what are ky other options at aprice range that is a logical investment for a first printer? If theres nothibg else, Ill just buy a bambu, but id rather not

  • May i ask why? Im planning on buying one in the coming months, and crealitys are available on my local second hand store page (like fb marketplace but dedicated site only for my country).

    Id rather not get a bambu if they really are locking everything down, so not sure what else is left

  • Five Europeans denied US visas for combating hate speech online, accused of censoring ‘American viewpoints’

    Jump

  • If you look at the source page for tge section on US fascism it has a section on the current state of affairs

  • U.S. bars Europeans it says pressured tech firms to censor American viewpoints online

  • I completely understand that you are trying to be supportive, and if the news from Venezuela didn't come out today I would not have replied, but it did, so back here I am. The problem is that the time for you to resist by buying EU goods, and spreading awareness about the issues in your country has long since passed -- And the rest of the world is paying for it. First Venezuelans will die, then possibly Cubans, and who knows, if no one stops the US war machine in the first two cases, why not also go for Greenland? (I'm slightly exaggerating here to make a point)

    You can (I hope) see how all the support from people from the USA sounds like empty words. How about you use your 2nd amendment right that we've been hearing about for decades, for the purpose it was supposedly put in place for? Maybe its because you (or the people who like guns, I realise there's not a lot of crossover between left-leaning people and people who defended gun ownership, but regardless there's nothing stopping the people on the left from acquiring them from this point onwards) don't actually want guns to defend from a tyrannical government, but instead just find them fun to own and shoot.

    Words are empty, and peaceful protest only works if your oppressor has a conscience, which its clear the USA doesn't have. The world is paying in blood for the fear of the average US citizen to deal with their own mess, and that tends to lead to the world not liking Americans (from the USA) very much, regardless of what said American's political leanings are.

    Thanks for your words of support. Be sure to let the those who have already died from your bombs, and those who are yet to die, know that you support them also.

  • Yet another email advice thread

  • I might have used mailcow on a vps I had for a short time for a project I was hosting on it. Not sure though, I can't remember. I'd much rather go with something simple that I don't need to micromanage, or that I don't need to worry that I've misconfigured hence won't be receiving mail, so when the time comes I'll probably be looking for solutions like the docker mailserver I linked to above, or similar.

  • Yeap exactly, I just replied to your other comment with basically this :D

    I'd rather have something simple that works for now, and eventually when I am able to self-host my own email, I can look into and spend the effort securing everything.

  • Hmmm, just watched this video: https://piped.wireway.ch/watch?v=aat1q9VLDjk and if what is mentioned in it is true, its concerning, especially if they store emails on their server in plaintext, and it sometimes takes a long time for emails to arrive.

  • I considered it, and it looks really good, but the free plan only allows for 1GB storage. I see at the bottom of this page: https://disroot.org/services/email that they do offer paid storage increases, but I don't see if thats the monthly, annual, or lifetime charge. Do you know?
