iiuc Firefox uses Mullvad for original paid VPN service but their new freemium one is through Fastly (?)

you could try renaming sideloading to “freedomloading” or maybe “freeloading”

freeloading is already a verb in english, and not the one you’re looking for

groot is this real?

I was surprised to find that dbzer0 has 290 communities.

I guess they have 290 communities which are federated to the instance where you’re collecting these stats; according to dbzer0’s front page they actually have 332 communities. (Also your screenshot shows 1337 communities on lemmy.ml but we actually have 4.74K, and 3919 for .world which actually has 13.1K.)

Psy went from singing “Kill those fucking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives / Kill those fucking Yankees who ordered them to torture / Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers / Kill them all slowly and painfully” to having UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hail him as “a force for world peace” (and do his horse dance with him at a press conference) 😂

also it’s from the spammer’s “staging” instance, so the payload is a URL with a staging hostname which doesn’t even resolve 🙄

Are there tradeoffs?

there are many, and the README lists far more now than it did 10 days ago when I first posted this.

it’s for devices which Graphene doesn’t support

Oh ffs we’re calling the word “manual” a micro aggression now?

sorry, did my comment trigger you? 🙄

nobody called anything a microaggression or said anything about the non-abbreviated word manual; jokes based on UNIX’s abbreviation of it being homonymous with the common noun man have existed since the man command was created.

nb (short for nota bene) would actually be a good name for a modern replacement for the man command 😂

the edit history on Shehbaz Sharif’s tweet shows that it began with “Draft - Pakistan’s PM Message on X” when it was first posted 😭

anyone dry behind the ears knows to wash there

You asked a question and answered it yourself?

I posted the 10 points according to one source and then said

There are many varied but similar versions of these points circulating elsewhere

The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.

I believe the US lets people enlist at 17 (with parental consent) but they don’t deploy them to combat before they’re 18.

I encourage you to you watch this movie, btw.

You’re ignoring the fact your article also doesn’t provide source

Which article are you saying doesn’t provide a source? I see only two articles linked in this thread and they both refer to several sources 🤔

I am sincerely baffled as to what your perspective about this story is.

Do you believe that EU and US officials are spreading Russian propaganda via the Associated Press about Russia supplying drones to Iran (which, as you said earlier, you believe they do not in fact have the ability to manufacture) and therefore Russia’s denial is actually true but also part of their cunning plan to deceive us?

Or what?

Of course Russia denys it

But… just a few hours ago didn’t you deny it too? 🤔

(“No they aren’t” was your first comment in this thread)

No they aren’t, Russia wouldn’t have purchased thousands of Iranian drones if they could produce them domestically.

[…]

Russia put out propaganda

The original link in this post is to an article by the Associated Press (syndicated on a website owned by Bell Canada) and it cites “U.S. and European officials” as its primary source to support the claim made in the headline that Russia is supplying drones to Iran.

I’m curious: did you call this Russian propaganda after reading only the headline, without actually realizing who is saying what here?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I suspect that after you read the article and see that Russia in fact denies sending drones to Iran (and says the seven trucks they just sent have food and medical supplies) you’ll probably change your mind and decide that they probably are in fact sending drones.

I’ll compile from source

yfw you find out getting access to a compiler requires an ID check

for one thing, you’re in a country where this once happened 🤦

Race is a social construct and in the eyes of your friend’s racist dad you are apparently not white (even if he might have classified you as white if he had only your appearance to go by and hadn’t seen your name).
