"The China censorship tool isnt actually censorship! And if it is, it's actually a good thing a state has that much power!" ~Tankies of .ml in c/meanwhileongrad
[–] Quacksalber 9 points 2 weeks ago

This is my unpopular opinion as well. The reason why fascists in all western nations are on the rise is in my opinion the rising inequality on the one hand and propaganda and misinformation on the other hand.

I am thuroughly convinced thar lies told by firebrands are fanning the flames of fascism.

Macht aber keinen Unterschied, wie er persönlich zur Ausländerfrage steht, wenn er in der Praxis auch alles, was die AfD noch vor ein paar Jahren gefordert hatte, jetzt umsetzen wollte.

But neither Hordak, nor Entrapta seem to be too interested in organic lifeforms, let alone creating new organic lifeforms. Glimmer and Bow strike me as a couple that will get busy though.

Of all the Star Wars shows past the original trilogy, this is the show worth watching the most, if you do not care for the world of Star Wars.

Honestly, with the rate of gayness in that show, the whole population will die out in three generations, unless the few straight couples get veeery busy.

The New York Times Really Asked Ms. Rachel If She's Paid By Hamas in c/[email protected]

Someone needs to kick that interviewers face in. Being a lobbyist and asking loaded question is one thing, but being a journalist for a newspaper that understands itself to be a pillar of democracy and asking such an obvious bullshit question needs to be met with a harsh reaction.

Warum Biden Netanyahu so deutlich kritisiert (www.tagesschau.de)
 

Seine bisher schärfste Kritik an Israels Vorgehen im Gazastreifen hatte Joe Biden geübt, als keine Kameras oder Mikrofone im Raum waren. Vor Unterstützern seiner demokratischen Partei hatte Biden laut Augenzeugen gesagt, dass nach dem Angriff der Hamas am 7. Oktober der Großteil der Welt hinter Israel gestanden habe.

Aber nun sei Israel dabei, die Unterstützung durch "willkürliche Bombardements" zu verlieren. Die Formulierung sorgte in den USA auch deshalb für Aufsehen, weil willkürliche Bombardements nach internationalem Recht als Kriegsverbrechen gewertet werden können.

Nach emotionaler Debatte: Grüne stützen verschärfte Asylpolitik (www.tagesschau.de)
 

Vor allem junge Delegierte üben in der Debatte scharfe Kritik an der Asylpolitik der Ampelregierung. "Es ist unehrlich über Begrenzung zu reden, während die Welt in Flammen steht", sagt Vasili Franco, Delegierter aus Berlin. "Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, ich bitte Euch. Lasst uns nicht schon auf diesem Parteitag einen Kompromiss mit konservativen Kräften verabschieden", drängt Sophia Pott aus Lübeck.

Welche, das schildert auf eindringliche Weise Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock: "Wenn ich mir vorstelle, es geht um jedes Flüchtlingskind in Thessaloniki, soll ich dann sagen, ich kann leider nicht mitverhandeln, das soll jetzt mein ungarischer Kollege alleine machen? Soll Robert das nächste Mal, wenn er bei der MPK [Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz] sitzt, sagen, ich kann da nicht mitverhandeln, das soll jemand anderes machen?" Baerbock fleht regelrecht ihre Parteifreunde an, den Antrag der Grünen Jugend abzulehnen.

Debatte um Kohleausstieg: Lindners Konter (www.tagesschau.de)
 

Seit Monaten wird in der Ampelkoalition darüber debattiert, wie sich die Strompreise in Deutschland senken lassen. Bislang drehte sich der Streit vor allem um die Frage, ob ein staatlich subventionierter Industriestrompreis, die Senkung der Stromsteuer oder vielleicht auch beides die richtige Antwort darauf ist. Dass Bundesfinanzminister Christian Lindner jetzt den auf 2030 vorgezogenen Kohleausstieg ins Spiel bringt, ist kein Zufall.

Die Aussage des Bundeskanzlers, dass russische Kriegsverweigerer Asyl in Deutschland finden werden, gleicht einer Lüge. Vielen Asylanträgern droht die Abschiebung nach dem Dublin-Verfahren.

Too good not to share.

A user laments that apart from this post, a statement made by pacifists in the year 2020, nobody outside russia calls Ukraine a military dictatorship.

How could that be, I wonder.

Whenever I try to respond to Mastodon comments with this account, I only get an endlessly spinning loading circle. From my lemmy.world backup account however I can send the response no problem. Any clue why that is?

Any way to see instances kbin is (de)federated with? (self.kbinMeta)

This question was asked already, but sadly not answered. Lemmy instances all support the path /instances, so sh.itjust.works/instances would show you all the instances my home instance is (de)federated with for example. Is there something similar for kbin?

Fennec Android App: Set custom download folder? (self.firefox)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Quacksalber to c/[email protected]

I've installed Fennec on my Android 12 device, since it still has about:config accessible. I've been following this old guide from 2014 in order to set a custom download path, however unfortunately without luck. Is it still possible to set the download folder and if it is, what options do I need to set?

I found browser.download.useDownloadDir and have set it to false. I've tried to set browser.download.dir to /storage/C05C-A00E/Test, which is what my file explorer app tells me my sdcard is mounted under, and to /sdcard/Test, which is what the tutorial showed. Both did not work, downloads still land in the default download folder.

A plea to @TheDude, please make a server-wide announcement that a defederation vote is happening! (self.agora)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Quacksalber to c/agora

I'd like to ask for @TheDude to make a server-wide announcement, visible to all members of this instance, that a binding vote about defederation is currently taking place.

Without knowing what the Lemmy UI allows, I was hoping for a text similar to the one informing new users that email verification is currently enabled. Here is what I would like the announcement to entail:

"A binding vote to defederate from another instance is currently taking place in /c/TheAgora. Should the vote be accepted, no users of sh.itjust.works will be able to access the defederated instance or interact with users of that defederated instance anywhere on Lemmy. Should the vote fail, the instance to be defederated remains federated, its content may still be shown on the home feed of sh.itjust.works and the users of that instance may still participate in discussion on this instance."

I am of the very strong opinion, that no vote should be binding, unless it was announced early enough to all members of this instance! This vote will have instance-wide consequences, the fact that it is taking place needs to be broadcasted beyond this community!
