152·2 days agoNope, peaceful protests have never worked at any point in history, and you are sold that they do, because it serves the interest of those in power who do not want to be challenged.
Bullies target the defenseless, and always pick weak targets. So unarmed protestors who pose no threat, are going to get attacked far quicker than an armed and disciplined group.
But unfortunately US cops can kill anyone with impunity so no one is safe even if they do defend themselves.
Depends on the instance. A lot of instances let themselves be overrun by US reddit reposters, filling every community, and they moderate none of it.
At least on lemmy.ml we try to keep US content quarantined to US-specific communities.
Depends on the country. There are many US specific communities like https://lemmy.ml/c/usa
US Liberals are still doing it to this day. One of their heroes, Obama, dropped an average of 80 bombs per day on the ME and North Africa.
After winning the Nobel peace prize, he dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.
There’s a good chance the US actually did kill Chavez with a slow-acting poison of some kind. You can find a lot of articles about his rapid deterioration.
Free Huey is a great one:
Maybe that time a dove landed on Fidel’s shoulder during a speech right after the victory of the Cuban revolution.

The resizing an image is out of scope tho, we aren’t going to embed an image suite into lemmy-ui, so you’ll have to do that locally.
This is really good news. Everything should be moving to jxl, and browser support is essential for it.
I firmly believe you should develop apps natively for that platform. That means jetpack-compose for android, and swift ui for iOS.
These write-once-for-all platforms layers are always bloated, slow, unoptimized, and behind the official native specs.
Decent programmers know how to learn new languages and frameworks as necessary, and most of the concepts are the same across programming languages. Nothing near as difficult as learning a real language.
15·16 days agoIran has been a target of US imperialism for decades, and the US has overthrown their government before and installed a US puppet, just like they’d like to do now. It was even one of the 7 wars in 5 years countried outlined by the Bush administration.
Its not your or my place to choose what form of government they have, that’s for the Iranian people to decide. Your place is to oppose the US bombing civilians and sanctioning the country.
41·16 days agoCodeberg took down my torrent projects I put on there. They cited german anti-piracy laws as the reason.
Not saying they’re not better than github of course, but they aren’t the real solution and will comply fully with german law. The solution decentralized issue tracking via forgejo or something.
Fell for it again award
I used to use typing.com, but for the last two layouts I learned, just keybr. It adds keys slowly, and makes sure you “level up” to more keys in a uniform way.
They’re gonna have to take everything out until all that’s left is illegal possession of machine guns.
Same, I use endeavorOS. Its just arch with a nice installer.
