I’m on an XZ2 Compact, which is still bigger than I’d like but has modern up to date LineageOS

You can pry it from my cold dead hand

I’m running an XZ2C with Lineage and it’s working just fine fwiw

The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

That needs a character count really. Words isn’t a particularly relevant measure when the language uses compound words

Yea just like Catholics don’t consider unfertilised human eggs to be humans

The Catholics are consistent this time

Yea I have no beef with the dev charging. People need money

Having to accept that horrible Privacy Policy though, even if I do pay. No thanks

I think the point of the post is ain’t nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps

Why does it matter what we think?

I don’t mind so much that it’s not FOSS. Developer needs paying, fair enough

I want an app without an egregious Privacy Policy that doesn’t bundle code that shares “Usage Data” with advertisers

Hm, they’ve pre-emptively blocked threads.net. But yea the list is shorter

Not in favour of this.

I chose Lemmy.world because I wanted an instance that would federate even with people I might disagree with. If it’s illegal and abusive, sure. But to defederate on ideological grounds? I was planning a recurring donation but this makes me consider setting up my own instance.

They’re welcome to whatever discussions they want to have on their instance. As long as they respect the rules of other instances when they’re here, then everybody wins.

As for their point about dismantling western propaganda - if they have documented sources then let’s have a conversation. It’s not like there isn’t western propaganda

How dare people operate in that time zone! Russian civilians should all adopt western time and speak English! 🙄

Yea implying that we don’t have propaganda and narratives on our side of the wall is naive

If we want the truth then an open discussion is the path. There will be arguments in bad faith, sure. But that’s not limited to “them”. It’s a human discussion thing.

I just find it unpleasant how we’re supposed to hate the Russian people now, as if they’re personally responsible for the war

But really there’s no reason whatsoever to put restrictions on the smaller weaker country who is being invaded. War is hell. Russian civilians can rise up against Putin if they don’t feel safe in their own country.

Do you want to apply that to 9/11?

How many GB is your filesystem/database as a single-user instance?

I always find it amusing how everyone makes these statements for Russian/Chinese software but never look at the government interest in Facebook, Google etc

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM

Is everyone in Russia responsible for the actions of their government?

It’s a bit disingenuous to blame a country for having high emissions when it has 10x the number of people

That means it needs 10x the amount of electricity, vehicle fuel etc.

By the same logic, the Vatican City is a world leader in climate policy.

Should we start comparing China with the Americas and Europe combined? Because that’s a more like-for-like comparison

Countries like China have awful, awful climate impacts, much worse off than most other countries.

Except that isn’t true

If you choose to drive a car and burn 10 litres of fuel, the responsibility is on you, not the oil company that produced it for you
