maybe vdo.ninja? it uses webrtc and has not given me performance issues thus far

controlled opposition lenin quote

they are controlled opposition in my opinion, if you follow the money (i.e. financed primarily by google to my knowledge) and look at their current diversification in service offerings they appear to be ‘privacy-washed’ or ‘ethics-washed’ (for lack of a better term, the equiv. of greenwashing or pinkwashing for tech corps to appear ethical or progressive) with a push to appear as a feature-complete ‘privacy respecting’ alternative to google.

in my opinion proton is doing the same thing, esp atm with their push towards non-profit status. openai (which is obviously not open in any sense od the word in the industry they operate in) is also i believe governed by a non-profit entity… or at least the for-profit part of their company is.

non-profit status with larger organizations i think like any other large organization is not worth taking at face value, but idk someone here prob has a better handle on it than i do…

im almost convinced mozilla and by extension firefox is controlled opposition

not quite as bad as adobe, but they are among the worst

Hey im a bit confused, you are saying to randomly generate information like personal details whenever signing up for anything? Is this better than using a made up real sounding name?

best of luck

you think there are sectarian conflicts between like arabic numerals, babylonian base 12, i ching base 2, hindu numbers, roman numerals, etc?

“No it isn’t 2 towers, they are two 1’s so it’s actually 3 in base 2!!”

“Nuh-uh, it’s a signed bit so it’s negative 1”

“You fools! they are two I’s therefore it is II or 2!”

“11 two 1’s make 11!!1!”

or something like that i think

I used github pages, now I use codeberg pages. It’s nice I suggest you try it out (for static content like a blog, it’s great).

Ive been considering Shiori, LinkWarden, or Readeck.

ty, some of these worked for me

I’m gonna try, I assume I’m wrong and someone can hopefully correct me…

India has a friendlier or neutral stance towards Russia due to its history with the Soviet Union. Something about a ship nearby some decades ago during the cold war scaring off some antagonistic ships?

I think India is also part of the non-aligned movement? The recent thing was a UN vote where India abstained? Something about recognizing something about the conflict… I think after that there was a statement by Ukraine or the Ukrainian President saying something like uh, wow I can’t believe you didn’t like super support us.

I wonder how much of it is more regional (i.e. say at present the number marching/protest are similar and they are distributed rather than concentrated, I’d need to see rough total counts for time periods to get a good idea, stuff the appropriate authorities have I’m sure…)

nice, that’s what i was going for; appreciate the validation cde

Why does it appear what your saying is, the novelty and or uniqueness of the tragedy of the Holocaust is and for some short time will be, the awfullest and worst loss of human life in recent history? Where do you get the audacity to make a claim like that, do you realty think without asking others throughout the world you can even begin to make such a claim? It’s because you’re german and feel really bad and learned from your mistakes and of course are sorry and this gives you a keen insight over others who are not part of a culture or society where genocide is even on the table?

I for one cannot accept it prima facie. Why would my proximity and knowledge of awful terrible events be the demarcator between whether it is or is not the worst?? Why is the convenience of checks notes it happening within the lifetimes of my immediate ancestors a useful metric besides convenience?

It’s this disgusting platitudes and preposition of “having a keen insight” also called smugness or knowing better or speaking platitudes which foments the stage and discussion for such idealistic rhetoric, devoid of trivial empirical claims, which increases the preponderance of having your voice and others like it anywhere near the centre of the stage; where, what do ya know, it’s been for the last century-and-a-half.

Let others from cultures who have no genocide on their hands speak, you and your ilk have been tolerated and have said more than enough. You’re given an inch and take a mile.

I’m sorry, why do you in particular have some keen insight or experience or knowledge which allows you to speak for these folks anymore than the other commenter?

EDIT: I should clarify, it would be very very easy to not do this; there, I did it now, there I didn’t do it again, I can keep this going. Can you specify why in-and-of-itself supporting an unambiguous apartheid regime and settler-colonial state engaged in documented genocide over decades is not, again, in-and-of-itself enough to not support or write on or for it??

thankfully if plastic is gone we wouldn’t be left with a majority of the hassle to deal with in the public sector, i.e. what another commenter called “externalized costs”

:snap

in with the clutch, thanks cde

oh yeah that makes sense, seems like my frame of reference was off
