Open Source@lemmy.ml•Android launcher actually worth switching to?
7·19 hours agoThe minimalist ones take a different approach, and are really great at encouraging less phone use: minimo launcher, fokus launcher, olauncher and its variants, etc. There’s some theory around why grayscale and text are less addictive than colorful icon grids, widgets, and multiple pages, but I can’t find it right now.
I’m currently on murine launcher because I have a tiny phone, but I use black and white icons with arcticons.
You seem to be completely oblivious to NATO expansionism:


And the atrocities NATO and the US has committed in Europe, Libya, Afghanistan, etc.
Or, to put it another way: socialism has powerful enemies. Those enemies don’t care how you feel about Marx or Makhno or Deleuze or communism in the abstract, they care about your feelings towards FARC, the Naxals, Cuba, North Korea, etc
This point is especially important. I’m in the middle of reading (and recording) Philip Agee - Inside the company, a CIA diary. He was a former CIA case officer who defected and escaped to Cuba. In Ecuador, he ran several of the 15+ operations the CIA was running in that country. These programs included everything from running US-friendly assets in the government, infiltrations of labor unions, control of religious institutions, control of youth orgs (especially catholic and conservative ones), journalists (especially getting them to put out anti-communist agitprop), leftist-org penetration agents, witting and unwitting police captains. They ran both ultra-conservative and social democratic / center-left media and political orgs.
These campaigns destabilized and divided the country, and the CIA was laughing while people on the streets were killing each other.
Their #1 goal: to get the Ecuadorian government to cut ties with Cuba and denounce communism, expel Cuban diplomats, and alienate them from Cuba and the USSR. If any org was even vaguely pro-Cuba, regardless of how left it was, the goal was to either take it over from the inside, or if that proved impossible, then make a new org friendly to US interests.
The US knows that the greatest threat to capitalist-imperialism and its overall power, is the threat of a good example, in the form of nations who reject its dominance. Anti-communism becomes the new witch-hunting campaign to unite all these disparate groups, to act on behalf of US interests.
It must take incredible bravery to agree with a country with over 700 military bases outside its borders.

The sad part is that this is probably safer than using vanilla javascript.
Neither axis nor allies, neither washington nor moscow, neither g7 nor brics, neither israel nor palestine, etc. You’re staying very pure and uncontaminated by the major conflicts of our times.

Memes@lemmy.ml•The dems are in the lab right now cooking up the giga-parlamentarian
8·2 days agoEven on the fediverse, speaking up about tara reade during the last election cycle, would get you banned from the liberal / correct the record fediverse servers.
#MeToo gets dropped immediately as soon as it exposes US democrats as being part of the same epstein class.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it an issue that lemmy automatically makes url links out of grammatical errors?English
0·9 days agoIts a feature of the markdown library we’re using in lemmy-ui (markdown-it) called linkify.
IMO the benefits of it outweigh the negatives. Its nice to be able to just type hexbear.net or something without having to add the https:// every time.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•The fediverse is one of the few surviving parts of the internet I used to love
0·10 days agoThat is an enormous compliment to the software. If we’re moving ppl even a tiny bit away from psychologically damaging and addictive behaviors that US tech sites cultivate, then we’re doing something right.

Also that is a test server, its data can be wiped out at any time. Create proper github issues on https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui when you find issues.

It’s just a descriptor to indicate something beyond the prototype phase, and likely reliable enough to eventually be used in commercial applications.
