7 days agoIt’s not something I’ve used very much as I don’t have much need for it, but I have used Locus a few times and I’m pretty comfortable with their privacy policy compared to the vast majority of other options.

2·7 days agoWhat I meant was the difference in who was targeted. My understanding, which could be wrong, is that specific groups (and more specifically, their leaders) were primarily targeted by the operations carried out back then, whereas today they are also detaining/deporting etc people who genuinely have no offenses or ties to such groups. Even Trump supporters and their family members are being persecuted. I think it’s these seemingly indiscriminate actions that make the average person less willing to take a stand, especially if they don’t feel as though they’ve been affected badly enough yet to risk sticking their neck out.
In any case it’s a terrifying and truly fucked situation.
There are options that don’t use Google et al.
I don’t know that the suppression by the government during those protests was anything like what is going on today though. The government has been detaining regular protestors alongside movement leaders/organisers to scare people into thinking that nobody is safe. The Trump administration has even been targeting people for deportation based on the fucking Canary Mission.
Another big difference is the fact that many of the protestors back then were at risk of being directly affected via the draft, whereas the impact of the Palestinian genocide on the majority of Americans is minimal to nonexistent.

8·23 days agoThe bulk of your post is probably the reason why consumption goals aren’t given - it’s not going to be the same for everyone.
Anyone who only eats 1 steak per year is unlikely to see a general statement like “reduce your red meat consumption” and think “oh no, I’m eating too much red meat”, because they are likely well aware of how much the average person eats compared to them.
The point Aceticon is making is that it doesn’t really matter who the US president is when Israel is concerned.
Would you be saying the same thing if it was Russia “offering” for Ukrainians to just leave their home?
More importantly, where do you think those 2 million people should go? Who will house and feed them? Israel sure hasn’t offered to do it.
Do you have any idea how hard it actually is to leave even for those who want to?
It sounds much better when you say 1 in 167 people then vs 1 in 25 people today.
There are plenty of options for both software and OS, so not every combination is going to have the same level of support as Windows, where every user gets the same experience.
That said, I’ve heard lots of good things about NoMachine.
You aren’t free to do whatever you want just because it’s your property.
And if I could legally use power tools all through the night I still wouldn’t do it because it would be shitty for my neighbours.
The US electoral system is utterly fucked. At least voting for a third-party in Aus can make some sort of difference.

This spring marks the highest rate of military conscription that Russia has seen in 14 years. In late March, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree ordering 160,000 men aged 18 to 30 to be called up.
According to Ukraine’s Eastern Human Rights Group (EHRG), at least 300 people from the occupied territories were conscripted into the Russian army in fall 2024
“After their training, many conscripts are sent to the front upon signing a contract with the Russian army,” Lysianskyi says. This decision is sometimes voluntary, but often made under duress due to a lack of alternatives, he adds.

Russian authorities continue to conscript Ukrainian civilians in occupied areas or otherwise try to forcibly enlist them, including those in detention, into the Russian military

“She explained that it was in a military camp, and that I would be like a caretaker with tasks like cleaning and cooking…”
But once in Russia, Samuel was in for a surprise. Instead of cooking utensils and cleaning products, he was given a Kalashnikov – which he accepted very reluctantly.
Samuel found himself in uniform without knowing exactly who he was fighting for, or in which unit. “The contracts they made us sign are doctored. We don’t have a copy of the document, so we don’t get the salary we were supposed to. Apparently, the Russian commander who made us sign gets part of it back, so it’s a whole chain.”
They don’t all want to be there…

And the training hours for cops there is shockingly short compared to other counties

I’d imagine you’d need a browser that has developer tools, which is far less common on mobile. A simpler solution would be to use a separate app that just takes the page URL and downloads the video for you, such as this one: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.junkfood.seal/
