Lemmy Developer removes comment in asklemmy@lemmy.ml for asking Russians if they are being oppressed by their government and if they support the ukraine war.
  • Tankies haven't learned that ignoring things to reduce visibility tend to be more effective censorship than creating a streisand effect.

    That's how the west learnt to do deal with it. Manipulate it in the backend, not the front, and if caught, blame it on a bug.

  • Zen Browser: A New Privacy-Focused Browser(Firefox)
  • When developers consider their project at "alpha" stage, users should really be wary of the consequences.

    So much hype around this browser and everyone touting it, but then, if something breaks and their profile is messed up, then people lose their mind and start cursing the devs.

    tldr; It's an alpha build software, and users should treat it as such. Latest build is Alpha build - 1.0.1-a.17 (2024-10-31)

  • International Law is more of a guideline awyway
  • Horrible atrocities and meddling by US:

    • Justified
    • Victory (even they have crawl back with their tails betwwen their legs)
    • Misssion Accomplished
    • Live Action Hollywood Movie
    • Thank you for your Service
    • We'll invade the Hague if you think otherwise
    • They hate us cuz they ain't us
    • We've always been the good guys

    Other countries does it:

    • Told you they were rotten bad people

    Propaganda is a helluva drug.

  • Arc Browser is dead
  • It was clear when they ran influencer marketing on youtube, that there was a lot of marketing money, and the hype was artificial. They chose people who didn't know any other browsers existed other than chrome and firefox. Like they were surprised of tiniest feature that's not on chrome but were mature in browsers like vivaldi and others.

    Kind of feels bad because it was the only good Chromium Browser

    looks like you bought into that hype. Vivaldi is way more customizable and feature rich than Arc.

    I have been liking Zen too. Hopefully it lasts!

  • My solar powered everyday carry electronics
  • I have a similar foldable solar charger at home but when I charge my power bank with it, the power banks charge display number goes bonkers. Sometimes up, sometimes down. So I stopped charging it by solar as to not damage the battery inside.

  • TV has failed us by not making a show about catching foriegn state actors and other online trolls in the act.
  • A drama with the Russians would probably only last a week, maybe a month?. Add in China, Iran, and most importantly the US, and you would've got few season to watch.

    I'm not sure if it would be brilliant and we'd be all over it or if we're so sick of hearing about it that we wouldn't watch it

    Too bad, but the rest of the world would love to see it.

  • "US and the rest of the world uses arabic numerals, so all tech derived from the number system (which includes modern computers) must belong to the Arabs."

    Are ya gonna sanction game engines too now, that they are actually competing, like a little baby?

  • This company sells real human skulls. It claims all of its skulls are ethically sourced. How do you ethically source a human skull for sale to a random buyer?
  • Making it a commercial business makes it unethical. Who's to say they won't be exploiting the poor, desperate people and twisting the legality, cross country loopholes to profit?

    Do you think diamonds, lithium, rare metals are ethically sourced too, just because the retailer/marketing says so?

    Does exploiting people for profits upset you? How many of the "most" need to be unethical to upset you?

    Post like these confirm to people saying only the most lunatic fringe, out of touch with reality left reddit during/after the reddit controversy.

  • Tuskegee Syphilis Study - Wikipedia

    The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, officially titled “The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,” was a study conducted by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) from 1932 to 1972. It involved nearly 600 impoverished African-American in Tuskegee, Alabama, with the aim of observing the effects of untreated syphilis on the human body. The men were not informed about the true nature of the experiment and were deceived by the researchers.

    The unethical nature of the study came to light in 1972 when it was exposed by a whistleblower, Peter Buxtun. The study had a lasting impact on public health efforts and contributed to a deep-seated mistrust within the African American community towards medical professionals and government health initiatives.

    TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.
