Great cheat sheet, but has a really poor quality, even when I download it. It may be problem on my side. The original on mastonon has good image quality.

I use it as a daily driver, but sometimes it's do slow I want to use chromium (cromite) again. I have a website open, I turn off the screen and immediately turn it back on, and the page takes several seconds to load again. And sometimes, it doesn't even load at all and it's just grey. Same thing happens when I switch to another app from Mull. It's annoying, but the extensions and privacy are still worth it.

Thanks for your valuable insight

China is heavily censoring internet and you fucks pretend that it's actually a good thing. If they're living so well you all pretend, they would clearly see all those western propaganda articles lying about them and not believe them.

I know that powerful governments operate various illegal places in other countries to serve their needs. China even admitted operating some illegal "police stations" in my country after they shut those down themselfs, and I have no doubts taht the USA does similar things. However, I haven't found any sources about this place being operated by US government. Maybe I'm bad at research, but no one from those claiming it was that provided any source either. The person in the second screenshot even says that they're just guessing. When I see my government, or US government, or the EU, do some bullshit, I don't immediately start thinking about how it was actually a move to defend from Chinese or Russian forces.

It's was the same in the thread I mentioned about China blocking access to lemmy.ml: there were definitely even some hexbear users criticizing China's censorship, but there were also multiple tankies writing essays about how the censoring is actually necessary because of capitalist propaganda (is lemmy.ml an US propaganda website?) and just doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify it. I know I'm using the words "mental gymnastics" too much now, but I just can't see any better naming for some of the comments out there. So, it's not just about this particular LGBT center, it's about this mentality of trying to come up with any reason of why the (usually Chinese) government is actually doing good thing. Isn't that the ultimate win of propaganda, when people no longer need government to falsely justify it's actions, because they do the justification themselves?

Sure, so instead of admitting that China's goverment did something wrong (like every other government does), you just create a story about how it was actually not an LGBT center, but rather an undercover CIA spy center. I'm sure all other government attacks on LGBT groups, orgs, forums and so on can be also explained by some made-up story. And I'm such a dumb person to expect people like you to create another story about Russia banning the queer instance.

The mental gymnastics you people do to justify any action of your favorite county's government that doesn't fit your idea of paradise in that country are incredible.

My comment from the original thread about this thread:

Great thread. I especially love how some guy aks why the thread I mentioned was a goldmine and gets immediate response with screenshot of some funny comments. I love that @good_girl@hexbear.net who took the screenshot must have seen the rest, comments like this: *removed externally hosted image* but still decided to screenshot only the funny comments. Anyways, happy dunking.

EDIT: Also, most of comments in the thread are crying about how could I ever imagine tankie defending anti-LGBT move from Russia, because tankies don't actually support Russia (sure). Well, this comment proves that tankies are definitely able to do all mental gymnastics to defend moves like that:

If they defend China closing LGBT center, am I so crazy to expect them to defend Russia closing LGBT instance?

people upvoting

I remember this being a big problem back on reddit. Most upvoted posts in a subreddit were often posts whose authors clearly didn't understand the subreddit's point. What I want to say with this is that post getting upvotes doesn't necessarily mean they are good post for this community. Because that's the argument that immediately comes to my mind when I'm criticizing this post: it's upvoted, therefore people clearly want posts like that.

I won't respond to every one of your responses individually, because I feel like you missed what I'm trying to say. It's kinda hard for me to express my thoughts in english, so it might be my fault. I'll try again:

When I see regular memes in this community, I usually have good emotion from them. I often laugh, be it aloud or just in my head. I might send the meme to my friends. Overall, it makes my day a bit better.

When I see one of those memes like this one, saying something like "it's ok to shoot capitalists" or "both american parties are bad", I don't have any of those good feelings. Even though with the second one I more agree than disagree. These are not memes, at least not as I see it, for me they are just (often very hateful) political message written to some meme format. I'm not talking about every meme criticizing communism. I'm talking about these low effort memes that I could create tons of from literally any random meme template.

Now, the following is just my opinion: I don't think people who agree with the political message in these memes (communists in this case) do have the good emotions that I have from regular memes. I believe that people who upvote it do it not because they laughed, but because they agree with the political message. And I don't think memes should be like that.

If I'm wrong, I'm just unable to see it with your eyes, and you really find those memes funny and entertaining, then my whole point doesn't make sense.

From Vaxry's second blogpost:

However, it was brought to our attention apparently you have decided to take to posting about this to your blog.

I have full rights to do so, just like you apparently had the right to post it to your mailing list.

I didn't dug any deeper, but it seems like Lyude also published the communication between her an Vaxry, if I understand it correctly.

The PipedLink bot seems to really like you :D

When I provide it an artist name, it downloads all of their songs into subfolders with an album name. When I provide it a playlist however, it downloads all songs into one folder. They still have album an artist in the metadata, do I'm pretty sure it can be sorted after the download.

zotify.xyz can rip premium quality directly from spotify if you provide it with premium account credentials.

No, it's not the morally correct position. It's your political opinion. But I was trying to make a different point, and that was how bad your "meme" is. The whole point is that people with opinion A are angry when you tell them your opposite opinion B. What I demonstrated with my parody of your meme and what you just confirmed is that the meme can work the same even if you switch A and B. It's a low effort post made in 2 minutes on a toilet and it's not funny, not even for people who agree with your political opinion. Or at least I don't think communists on lemmy are that dumb to find the "lol people who don't agree with me are angry when I tell them the thing they don't agree with 🤣😂🤣" funny. It's stupid and it would be just as stupid if I posted my version of the meme. I don't mind political memes, even if I don't agree with them, but this is not a good meme. It might be a funny shitpost, it's really similar to something like "annanas on pizza haters when you tell them annanas on pizza is tasty". People like you posting low effort shit like this and people upvoting it not because they find it funny, but because they share your political view are turning lemmy into communist circle jerk. !comics@lemmy.ml is full of hateful political cartoons that one of the mods keeps spamming there, so it already is just that. People giving lemmy a try and seeing this getting upvoted are not going to have a good first impression about lemmy. I believe you are hurting this community and whole lemmy and helping no one.

Just as accurate (and low effort)

Where is Xi Jinping, tankie?

Lemmygrad at it's finest...

Sure, I can say that about any two countries in the world. EDIT: I understood your comment as some people are actually living better and not as some people do pretend that

We don't pretend that people in russia live better than people in usa, do we?

Eternity's search is the most powerful IMO. It's so sad that it doesn't get updates :(

I don't know anything about immutable distros, but any good VPN provide Wireguard or OpenVPN config that you can just import into your network settings/manager. Mullvad does.
