30℅ regular church attendance is still crazy, blows my European mind. I personally don’t think I have ever met a person who attends it even once a year nor I ever knew of such people through friends.

I’ve upgraded to Pixel 7 last year to run GrapheneOS. Honestly it was a very underwhelming upgrade. My 2019 Oneplus 7T is still kicking running LineageOS, could go back any second and not notice.

Well this comment section was an interesting read. Interesting how many comments still bend the discussion towards bashing lemmy.ml and defederating from it. People, it’s not even the topic of this post?

Also it seems like very few actually read the post beyond the title? The problem is not lemmy.world banning the piracy community, they have the right to do so, that’s how federation works. The problem is them making a promise to make announcements about such bans in advance, but they instead did it quietly in the background again.

That’s actually very ironic, the game needs about half an hour to get you hooked and yet so many people quit it beforehand. You’ll understand what I mean when you play it

Recently went on Reddit and laughed hysterically at the amount of religious propaganda I saw in this format. Example:

God bless brown cows!

I think everybody puts too much emphasis on it being a strict generational thing while imo it’s mostly a force of habit.

I’m on my early 20s, and used to take around 10 seconds to read an analog clock. Fully digital mind. Bought an analog wrist watch this summer and merely 1-2 months into wearing it I started understanding it instantaneously and all of “half past” type phrases click immediately now.

Wow are you talking cybertrucks with spiked stainless©️ steel wheels??

People forget that all souls games are set specifically in periods of total collapse. Between these there have been thousands of years of hyperbolic prosperity. Someone built Lordran, Lotric and Drangleic you know

It depends really. Big chunk of Imperial core is living somewhat fine without much of an outside threat. If you’re luckly to be born on a planet that does well economically you may live a happy life of decent sci-fi.

Not every single imperial world is a hive world full of gangs and mutants that experiences an ork invasion, genestealer infestation, and a chaos corruption simultaneously lol.

Reading some of non-spacemarine novels like the Eisenhorn series shows a lot about how common imperial worlds live.

There’s a larger problem though, Google both owns and controls AOSP. Of course, chances of them making it closed or introducing their proprietary services into it are extremely small, but they still are the captain who steers the ship.

If they’ll decide to embed AI (in some open source form), many derivatives like Graphene and LOS may have to suck it and follow through as the more you change your fork away from source code, the harder it becomes to maintain for small team of enthusiast devs.

Earlier in his political career (at least as late as early 2010s) he indeed skewed much more right, somewhat moderately right-wing. For instance he used to partake in russian marches, which are annual demonstrations of partially nationalist, mostly just conservative factions. Here is him speaking at Russian March 2011. He also made several comments about the status of Chechen Republic within Russian Federation (a complicated region that has lead to Russian armed forces clashing with local gov/insurgents in two Chechen wars), I think mainly arguing that it should be excluded from Russian Federation.

I, however, still believe that in late 2010s he genuinely switched to much more liberal views, mainly focusing on liberal populism.

In general, while he definitely started off in conservative crowd, it would be a huge overstatement to argue that he continued to be an active fascist and anti-islamist right up to his death.

Is there additional reading I can do on the topic? I’ve googled but found nothing but concerns from Nato officials that Russia could engage in seabed sabotage. This comment is universally praised so I guess it’s some universal knowledge I missed. What are some instances when they did it?

I’ve used to do semi-competitive swimming as a child. Honestly one of the worst (as in boring, great for health and fixed my scoliosis) types of sport to do for an agitated child who wants to explore the world.

For an hour and a half you do laps while staring at the tiles on the bottom of your olympic pool. Would spend the entire time memorizing every crack on the tiles as well as doing entire video game playthroughs in my head lol

Some of you might find it peculiar, similar movements to Sovereign Citizens exist in many other countries, but they take different shapes depending on local cultural context.

For instance, in Russia there is a movement called “Citizens of USSR” who claim that since Boris Yeltsin in the 90s had no constitutional rights to change the name of the country from “Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic” to “Russian Federation” (which is actually correct, he didn’t, not that it stopped him though), this change has never legally taken place, and “Russian Federation” is a placeholder corporation that occupies legally Soviet space. Why this can’t be applied to RSFSR/USSR itself being “illegally” established on top lf 1917 Russian Republic, is a mystery.

Citizens of USSR even issue their own passports, however, their goals are exact same with Sovereign Citizens - tax evasion, ignoring traffic rules, and driving without a license.

It really amazes me how some people balance out almost definite intellectual underdevelopment with an ability to form and write absolutely coherent sentences. It seems that one should exclude the other, but no.

Off topic to the off topic. OS masterminds out there, does rootkit anti-cheat translates to Linux over Proton? I assume not? If Proton is not originally run as root, it shouldn’t be able to elevate its privileges, correct?

Honestly if the color would be less vibrant and more washed out, it’d look great. I love to the floor has purple accents as well that match the furniture

The amount of people in the comments not understanding why open buds are relevant to some people / the concept of earbuds overall is quite funny. I guess there’s some truth in stereotypical Lemmy user rarely showing up outside 🙃
