  • Did PieFed 'steal code' from Pylova? Let's look at what happened

    Jump

  • As far as I know their main point of difference is they removed all the antifascist features. Even though they're off by default, lol

  • What have you completely stopped buying because the price has gotten ridiculus?

    Jump

  • Milk, cheese and butter.

    My country produces 10x more dairy products than we need. But they're sold to the highest bidder globally and that ain't me.

  • It's possible to win lots of battles but still lose the war. You can ask Trump about that :)

  • Yes that list should really be checked and old offline instances removed, etc. Although any chance I get to give Zuck the finger is hard to resist.

  • One thing he won’t tell you is that the toggle for these features were added after people complained,

    Yes I listen to feedback and make changes accordingly. This is how good software gets made.

    There’s also the reputation score that dings you for posting memes

    Incorrect.

    really hates quokka

    I went no contact with the whole flotilla after they were abusive for weeks. Going no contact is grounds for more abuse, according to them. In any case, inter-instance drama is a separate thing from what features PieFed has.

  • In Moscow, Russians worry about new fuel shortages

    Jump

  • What can we do?

    I wonder what hybrid/EV sales are like in Russia.

  • One dead, 172 rescued as second ferry in days catches fire in Indonesia

    Jump

  • I've been on those Bali ferries a few times. They're fuckin terrifying. Really crowded, desperately in need of maintenance and crewed by people with no idea what they're doing.

    They were very lucky that only 1 person died in this case.

  • We should popularize using the guillotine as a symbol of the common man.

    Jump

  • Whatever man, they're all examples of successful nonviolent revolutions. Successful in the sense that they overthrew the previous regimes and what came after was probably better than what would have come after if they achieved the same thing violently.

    I'm just a guy trying to make sense of the world and share the fragments of what I've managed to piece together and you come in here throwing around insults and making aspersions. Not cool.

    https://lithuania.lt/news/life-and-work-in-lithuania/the-baltic-way-how-holding-hands-changed-history/

    On August 23, 1989, a momentous event unfolded that would forever leave its mark on history. Two million people joined hands, creating an unbroken human chain that spanned over 600 kilometres, linking the capital cities of Vilnius in Lithuania, Tallinn in Estonia, and Riga in Latvia. This awe-inspiring display of unity and determination became famously known as “The Baltic Way.” It was a peaceful protest against the illegal Soviet occupation and also one of the earliest and longest unbroken human chains in history.

    The Baltic Way was more than just a physical connection; it was a profound political demonstration for freedom.

    Remarkably, within just six months of this transformative protest, on March 11, 1990, Lithuania declared its independence, becoming the first of the Soviet Republics to do so.

  • Violent revolutions have a huge risk of producing prolonged violence, authoritarianism, or other disastrous outcomes, even if they succeed in overthrowing the old regime.

    On the other hand here are some successful non-violent revolutions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_revolution

    Nonviolent revolutions generally produce better institutional outcomes than violent ones (it's science).

    Also watch out for selection bias - we tend to remember revolutions that became enormous historical events. Check out this table of pitiful forgotten revolutions and note how many "Suppression of the rebellion" there are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peasant_revolts
