I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.

Isn’t this Zelenskyy’s original plan that he pitched even before Trump got elected then?
The fourth point of the peace plan is economic: Zelenskyy calls on allied countries to implement “joint investment” plans to exploit Ukraine’s natural resources: “Ukraine has natural resources and critical metals worth trillions of dollars,” he notes. “These include uranium, titanium, lithium, graphite, and other strategic resources, which will either strengthen Russia or Ukraine and the democratic world.”

I know because I’m Swedish and you use us as your cheap electricity.

They probably know how to solve it technically, but they need management approval to do it and there are two managers currently in an internal feud over who has the highest authority and neither wants to admit to being the lowly one for such a trivial request.
4·4 days agoI was macOS (desktop) and Linux (servers), but over time it just became cumbersome to cater to the - while Unix - different environment on the Macs all the time. I’ve now converted over the last Macbook Pro to Linux but what I really want is a Linux distribution really made specifically for the Macs and making full use of their somewhat special hardware.
If you’re more at home with macOS then this doesn’t apply to you of course :) A lot of the software I use is from the open source community where Mac gets supported because it’s possible to compile for it but it’s always an afterthought.
(Servers? Yeah that might surprise people - but the performance of Apple Silicon is really very interesting for a lot of tasks where you need “GPU-speedup” without installing a full GPU)
As far as I’m concerned Canada should join the EU. I mean, we do already share a land border.
Bad for Linux. I see Asahi Linux on Apple hardware as being the “best Linux” for consumer use (and home servers) moving forwards.
Lots of western companies have divested from working with/in Russia even though it has cost them lots of money. Some because that’s a legal requirement (sanctions), some because it’s the right thing to do.
Not doing so is supporting Russia.
Vlad wrote it to me in their chat. Screenshot here: https://ioc.exchange/@troed/113311981054448887
Ask your wife whether she thinks people should send money to Russia. Now, Yandex is politically twisting the truth in their search results, but I care less about that than the fact that I’ll happily send money to Ukraine but there’s no way in hell I’m sending money to Russia.
Being a Kagi subscriber means you are. Morally - I’m not ok with it. In some nations it might even be against the law. Sanctions, you know. I’m not even sure Kagi is legally in the clear here.
They specifically avoid sanctions by routing payments through Kazakhstan, and tried to claim Yandex wasn’t even a russian company when called out.
And no, the US is not the same. You might not have hosted Ukrainian refugees or be in full understanding of what’s happening there but any money going into Russia is right now used for torture, rape and killing of Ukrainians.
I had a Kagi family subscription and immediately cancelled when I learnt about Vlad’s “it’s just some geopolitical opinions” stance. I also know others have done the same.
FWIW - most mobile data plans roll over if you don’t use them fully during the month.
(at least where I live)
This must’ve been a lot more complicated to implement than to allow us to NOT SEND OUR SUBSCRIPTION MONEY TO RUSSIA.
sigh
2·12 days agoSwedes do the same - and then brag about how they in their retirement home in Spain can speak Swedish all the time with other Swedes and Swede-run stores
Swedes being, on the international stage, arrogant, self-righteous, know-it-all swots.
We’re damn proud of it, too! It’s just a fact. Swedes are the best, and Sweden is the best country on Earth.

Trump might think he can strongarm Europe with tariffs, but we’re much too big of an economy for that to work.
2·15 days agoYes, I know :) (I run a family instance with FediFetcher and relays as well)
Large instances are usually well covered enough. I don’t know if Lemmy/Mbin pull sll posts for a thread you visit but Mastodon has plans to do so in the future to alleviate this issue.
Nice exploit chain!
