Any countries want to stop all funding until claims can be investigated, or do they prefer to stick to their double standards?

Probably one of the best sci-fi shows created in the last few decades. It’s smart, deep, and engaging. You might need to get through a few first episodes if high school drama is not your jam, but after that you will be hooked.

Obligatory 'Fuck John Deere".

They were one of the first to go.

It really depends on each person’s threat model. But there are a few things everyone would benefit from. Like VPN, email aliasing, password manager, 2FA/MFA. They don’t have any convenience cost and in most cases make your life easier.

!fediverse@lemmy.zip, created not long ago, exactly due to similar reasons.

If you read the blog post you would know there are 0 mentions of VPNs there. VPNs have very limited purpose, and it’s just a small tool in the arsenal of privacy.

I’m not the author of the blog post. That would be @aral@mastodon.ar.al.

RCS doesn’t support encryption natively. Google only has proprietary encryption for Messages app.

Google sucks, but Gecko just can’t match Blink in responsiveness for me personally.

Yes, Israel made that accusation 3 months ago and then failed to provide any single shred of evidence of that to this day. Accusation is useless without proof. I can say “you are x and x and x” but without any proof, that doesn’t make it true…

• Independent review finds Israel failed to produce evidence to back up claims against UNRWA employees – report
• Israel still has no proof of Unrwa terrorist claims – but damage to aid agency is done
• Independent review panel releases final report on UNRWA

The fastest way to stop this is to release the hostages.

Clearly you are misinformed. Hamas agreed to release the hostages as part of the last ceasefire agreement they signed and Israel rejected.

And the war criminal Netanyahu doesn’t give a shit about hostages. Gaza: Israeli PM Netanyahu says Rafah attack will happen regardless of deal

I don’t like “big” instances, since they tend to quickly walk back on their promised goals once they no longer can manage their size. So when I joined Lemmy it was on a smaller now defunct vlemmy.net instance. The idea of operating and moderating the community was not that appealing, but it was a way to promote the instance, so I started !globalnews@vlemmy.net and !databreaches@vlemmy.net. It was a slow start, but they grew over time, reaching 1000/400 subscribers respectively and then the admin killed the instance and vanished. That was a lesson.

After that, I joined lemmy.zip, it was tiny then, but it had a lot of things going for it, multiple admins, multiple communication channels, transparent finances and good base rules. What it lacked was content. So I had to decide if it was worth my time to start over by creating another community and help it grow. I re-started !globalnews@lemmy.zip and !databreaches@lemmy.zip and just started posting without any expectations. It was an outlet to share what I found interesting or what caught my eye. Eventually, people started commenting, and organic discussions started happening. I expanded the number of communities I moderate now, but the principles are the same. No expectations.

So the reason for all this backstory is that I stay motived by believing in the project and wanting to help good instances to grow. If not for Lemmy I wouldn’t be posting anywhere else, never moderated on Reddit, never even posted on Reddit, was a habitual lurker there.

Just find topics you are interested in, maybe set up an RSS client and share the content that you find interesting yourself.

Blame gamers for embracing every single greedy move and asking for more. If you shout how fucked up this is and still open your wallet, you are the problem.

You expect too much of them. They promised to open source pocket 7 years ago, maybe that will happen after another 7 years.

As far as I understand the whole protocol, https://www.gsma.com/newsroom/press-release/global-operators-google-and-the-gsma-align-behind-adoption-of-rcs/

RCS is a proprietary standard. You would need to be licensed by GSMA to use it.

First they said that allowing independent repairs will lead to you getting raped, now it’s national security threat. They are running out of bad ideas.
