The difference is that there is SOME accountability in the West and we can, to an extent, influence who leads us, especially in Europe.

So if flagrant misuse does appear, there’s a much higher risk of it being discovered and of heads rolling in the west.

Think of the number of exposed scandals in the West and compare that to China.

And I’m not throwing shit China’s way and thinking the West infallible. I’ve been to China plenty and worked with awesome Chinese people plenty. There’s a lot to love in China.

But let’s not get lost in whataboutisms. Where would you rather raise your children?!

You can milk anything with nipples!

That video is incredibly damning. Do you know why it wasn’t allowed to be admitted?

I don’t understand why you think I’m trying to prove something or asking some random person to prove anything. I was asking what was proven in court.

No not really but that’s now how it works to prove intent.

Well he wasn’t there to sell ice cream either.

But in a court of law, making a statement like “he went there to kill” is a statement that requires proof. And I’m simply asking if there has been any proof that he travelled there with intent to kill?

Bear in mind I’m not American, nor am I arguing about his guilt or innocence. Simply asking what proofs the attorneys brought to court.

Has it been proven that he was hoping to kill somebody when he drove across state lines?

Come again?

Wholeheartedly agree with TFA. People who claim Firefox should go all in and block everything and return no data to advertisers need to explain how Firefox should continue to fund development.

I love how the article seems to express surprise that Russia could do such a thing. Did they sleep during the polonium attacks across Europe?

I pay about £2.50 for 700+ GB storage, with about 2-10 GB of ingress every month. Storage alone is only £1.40. That’s using OVH’s “Cloud Archive” product; they also have a product called Cold Storage which is a smidge cheaper but doesn’t offer updating of existing data, so according to my projections based on the class of data I am archiving it wouldn’t be cheaper in the long term.

I know - it’s unreal how much people confuse Swiss banking privacy with Swiss privacy laws in general. FADP is weaker than GDPR IMHO.

I just have a smaller dataset using the same settings, which I try to recover a couple of times/year.

It’s not perfect as recovery exercises go … but it feels safe enough for me.

I’ve used backblaze for years and regularly run recovery exercises. Never had a problem.

However, to avoid any fears, I store remote backups in two locations (the other one being OVH, a large French cloud provider).

My data retention regime:

• Mirrored disks in local NAS.
• Continually (every night) copy to Backblaze(US) and OVH (DE).
• Once/year, copy all local NAS data to offline disks (ie disks that are plugged into a tray only during the copy) to avoid a file locking/encryption infection that could spread to the online files.

Maybe on account of the communities I subscribe to, but I’ve personally not come across right wing extremism on Lemmy. The tankies, though … so prevalent. Anyways, by server blocking hexbear it’s reduced by 90%.

The Korean War was led by the UN. NATO wasn’t involved.

… “and don’t worry about your family back home in North Korea who will be compressed into tinned meal”.

The defection rate will be low I suspect. It’s an automatic TFK (total family kill) to defect and I doubt they’ll send anyone who don’t have family at home in Glorious Motherland!

Server blocking hexbear is the only way to stay sane on Lemmy.

But what if I don’t have an MEP? (Cries in British)

I mean you did claim Sweden was being occupied. Words do matter, you know. It’s how we understand what you believe.
