And this is only to begin with.

You are kidding me, right? The video was uploaded by a pro-Ukraine influencer in X of all places. Newsweek reports it and suddenly it’s taken in this community as the truth? I’m not saying it’s fake either. Just saying, it’s easy for someone in Ukraine to look like a Russian soldier making up some story about how stupid North Korean soldiers are in the front.

And even if the guy was a Russian soldier, under torture anyone would say anything, even something as lousy as “NK soldiers can’t comprehend left and right”.

Recalled this case that is getting public attention in Mexico. Queretaro, a state in the Bajio region of Mexico known by its conservative ideas, is using their attorneys to try to make a 14 yo child to pay 26,000 USD in damage repair to her rapist, because she suffered a miscarriage. The state attorneys also demand her to go to prison for three years.

Publicly, and in the media, the girl is known as “Esmeralda”. I’m sorry I couldn’t find a note in English about this case to link. The thing in common between both situations is a corrupted institution that’s supposed to protect the people.

Okay, then.

They are forced. They fight against the Ukrainian Army for their survival, because being drafted means they will probably die at this point. If they could keep avoiding the army, they would probably survive until this madness ends.

You can have your side on this and think Ukraine is fighting for survival, but that’s a point of view, an idea. Some facts are:

1. Ukraine is currently loosing this war. It’s even territorial.
2. Ukraine is loosing support from their allies. And if Trump wins, which is somehow plausible, they’d be practically alone.
3. Recently drafted citizens are just that, they are not soldiers. With their morale, they probably aren’t even fighters.
4. A good chunk of the remaining Ukrainian people don’t want to fight no more.
5. Drafting more inexperienced citizens will at best slow down the course of the current events.

Argument: War is almost lost. People are finite.

For this, some people proposed to move the community from one instance to another. Now, it seems to me like the incentive to comment on instances ideologically biased for people who cares about the voting system is basically to troll the opposing instance. Which leads to this petty battle that I will ignore from now on.

EDIT: It’s also interesting to note that lemmy.ml is not like any other instance. In fact, it would be beneficial to not have big communities here. My account is here because it’s an old account, but lemmy.ml should be more like a “testing” instance, and they probably shouldn’t be signing up more people. The admins and devs acknowledge this from time to time. So, I guess everyone wins with this.

You can try again. Take all the attempts you need.

Wow. Now I’m impressed. I was set on a Kobo Libra, maybe even the Color, but this sounds great.

Sounds pretty good but also battery intensive. How is battery life in this device?

That will show BRICS countries what not to buy.

I think we agree on everything. You do you.

I know I can. Being blocked is something I do not have any issues with. My comment was merely my point of view. If someone is being actively bothered by the admins of the instance I’m in, it’s completely fair to block it. However, to block whole instances for ideological differences is kind of immature.

I hope people do not do that and take into account this campaign against lemmy.ml. I am aware of the accusations against the admins of this instance, but I practically never see here this kind of brigading, campaigning against whole instances like lemmy.world. Sure, I myself did make a bad comment or two about lemmy.world out of >800 comments, but that’s normal. I think the fair thing to do, is to respond in the same scale (i. e. blocking specific users) instead of going all ballistic with instance blocks.

I’d also like an option to just block/hide the instance part of user names. I don’t like what this bit of information is doing to discussions in Lemmy.

They are rewriting Neo Launcher. Some alpha builds are available for testers right now, but yeah, it will take time to get to stable.

I stopped using Ventoy. I don’t trust the OSs installed by means of it, sadly. Also, lost any hope of a clarification on the issue. Yes, you should not use it for the time being.

Hilarious? It would be literally fantastic.

Thank you for sharing those tips. Do you use a Desktop Environment (I’m thinking something barebones like lxqt) or a Window Manager (in this case, which one)?

I have an old Atom tablet with 2 GB RAM capable of running Linux with the generic Linux kernel from any genetic distribution. Granted, I’ve never tried AntiX. How do you manage? Each time I’ve tried Linux in this tablet, it honestly runs like crap.

/sigh, I barely use it, and when I do, it pisses me off. I’ll try to remember this anyway, thanks.
