You don’t think a country that actively censors the internet, monitors and jails people who post “wrong” memes or speech, and indefinitely jails minorities couldn’t be considered fascist?
People are labeled fascists here and on reddit for much much less.
Except for the part where they support fascism by openly defending the CCP and Chinese propaganda
I don’t think that’s true. I’m pretty certain they simply hop on a torrent client with an illegal torrent for their movie and record the IP addresses they see seeding and leeching. Then simply compel the responsible ISP to reveal which of their customers currently has that IP leased.
Why would you think I watch Fox news? My bad, mixed up Afghanistan and Iraq. But I’m sure Iraq isn’t far behind.
Mastodon needs a way of automatically populating your feed for new users, like the “All” button does here on Lemmy if your instance has done the work.
I consider myself somewhat technology literate and I got frustrated/bored after trying on my phone to find popular accounts elsewhere to follow on the smaller instance I signed up on. Still stuck with an empty feed, but mostly out of laziness*. New users don’t stand a chance.
Could also have been old-timers that have had accounts repeatedly banned by admins for bullshit reasons. But yeah more likely just bots lol.
There’s a niche type of CPU cooler you can get that uses just thermal mass, e.g. thermal pipes from your CPU spreader to finned metal on your case or directly into your case. They can’t provide as much cooling as liquid but it has zero moving parts.
I tried to get one of these cases/coolers for my home server and just could NOT find reasonably priced options or much availability. It’s kind of absurd, there should be a larger market for them.
I didn’t want to have to worry about dust build up and fans dying myself.
From my limited experience usually it’s because they implode from internal drama. To be human is to be lazy, and most people can’t get past that.
How is this a real comment you just made
You’re far more likely to drown if you own a pool in your backyard. Population level statistic applied to your individual lifestyle choices are meaningless and patronizing.
I always resent this braindead argument. There’s a huge difference between a country waging a foreign war and a country waging a war against its own cities and citizens. Insurgencies work and has been proven time and time again. See: Iraq
Incoming tankie defense of state censorship
Millions of Russian ctizens having their internet cut off isn’t a big deal?
They also monitor internet communications and you can get your account deleted or a police visit if you post something to critical of the state. That’s probably irresistibly attractive to Putin.
In my time working at a hosting provider we would get these very strange requests from the Russian government demanding Russian websites customers had with us be taken down for moral violations. Like a DMCA but for free speech.
Also true if you consider the absolutely massive cost and effort it took China to get where they are with their Great Firewall. From what can be gleaned they also have a huge workforce of people monitoring communications as well in order to keep their internet safe for the state and “sanitized”.
Almost like they’re literal fascists just like China!
I am not a fan of millions of Russian citizens being in a walled garden of censorship however
Speaking of dullness why isn’t there a like, comment or retweet counter? Just started trying to check out Mastodon.
Kinda odd that a US state official is talking about this in language implying it’s the US’s war? Removes the whole facade that this isn’t US+Ukraine vs Russia that everyone’s pretending isn’t happening.
