Kremlin polls indicate United Russia, the dominant political party in the Russian Federation, is predicted to gain 80 per cent of the vote in the four occupied regions.
Then why the elections if you already know the result beforehand?
Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.

Those who lie and justify their lies, either with or without more lies.
That doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I commented on posts that were weeks old or a month old. Reddit had this bad habit that everything older than 30 minutes was irrelevant already.
Sure, seeing old posts doesn’t help to create an image of activity. But don’t think that something old is irrelevant, unless it’s a news post.
It depends. I’m on two instances, sopuli and beehaw. Both of them are really welcoming and cool, and I can interact with people without worrying about being bullied or harassed or attacked by random trolls just because they don’t like what I say (and trust me, suffering those actions while being neurodivergent is way worse than suffering those actions while being neurotypical).
But I think that more than 70% of the content I see comes from one single instance. Excluding beehaw (they defederated that other instance, and I agree with that), I think that sopuli also has similar communities that are like abandoned or with low amount of content. That’s something I don’t like.
Propaganda can be very powerful on people’s minds, unfortunately.
I don’t know whether you’re a woman or a man, but let’s say you’re a woman. You know your husband goes to work everyday, you know his car, you know his licence plate and you know where he works.
Now, you see a picture on the internet, like a disco bar, or a penthouse. And you see, in the parking lot, some vehicles, being your husband’s among them. Now what?
Or the other way, your husband sees your car at an expensive beauty shop, instead of being at a hospital, because you said you were visiting your dying relative.
Privacy must be protected, it’s a very important thing in European countries, and licence plates belong to that privacy, as well as phone numbers.
they’re launching in America first
Because GDPR makes Threads to be illegal in Europe, thanks to Ireland and the European Union 😆
Some instances removed the downvote button. And I think it’s a good decision, personally speaking. If you like it, you upvote it. If you don’t like it, move on. Less toxicity, and less emotional damage when someone has rejection sensitiveness.
When I joined Lemmy one year and some months ago (the instance I’m talking from), this wasn’t a desert, but this wasn’t a living place either. Maybe I didn’t subscribe to some communities, but I could see two or three new posts per day, with a couple of comments in the best case scenario. I didn’t do my part either as much as I’m doing it now.
But now, between holding poop for 3 days, or eating beans, or the abundance of users on every instance, this is a neverending party, and I’m happy. I’m still not doing my part posting, but I comment very often. And I even have one account on two instances each (is that correctly said?).
With correct mods, with wholesome admins and with polite users, even disagreeing, these places will be forever my virtual home.
I think the free speech absolutist is full of bullshit, and there has to be ways to troll him, like redditors did with spez.
In my country (Spain) there is an organization called “Centre for Sociological Research”, which in Spanish it’s called “Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas” (best known as CIS).
So, is that name also a slur, according to the free speech absolutist? What about politicians and journalists who talk about its surveys?
That Reddit died before this new Reddit was born. That Reddit was, in fact, the best. This Reddit, fuck it.
Now that I’m more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I’ll change to a smaller one too. But I’m too lazy, and I’ve already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.
I was doing experiments with ffmpeg. If it works well, good. If not, I’ll try simple screen recorder. Thanks.
I’m thinking about recording my screen monitor while I’m playing some video games and upload the videos both on PeerTube and on YouTube. With a slightly little difference between them: the YouTube version will show messages encouraging the use of adblockers and leading people to PeerTube.
Now I have to find a good software and configuration to record my gameplays on my “potato” computer.
A death match between the presidents / prime ministers of the rival countries. The country of the winner of that match will win the war, and the country of the loser has to deal with the following consequences.
At this point, I’m still wondering why nobody is fixing those damn windows so people can’t fall out of them so easily.
I’m on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.
This instance is not big enough for the two of us.
No, it doesn’t.
