You’re assuming that Hitler would have just surrendered after seeing the atomic bomb, but there’s no actual indication he would have. He was fucking nuts. At some point there was an actual race to Berlin, the Wehrmacht was completely annihilated, women and kids were on the front lines and still no surrender. He would have sacrificed every last German before surrendering
Tbh all cars have at least one battery. Or it might have been some order random accident that has nothing to do with the cargo. I think we need more info on this
Take Twitter, change the logo.svg file, change the main color from blue to black, Ctrl+F all instances of Twitter, replace with X. Done
I mean, I bet it would just be impressive enough for Musk. The biggest hurdle would probably be getting the update through the AppStore in just one day.
edit: apparently they’ve already change the logo file on the website (at least in the login screen, I don’t have an account)
Eh, communists on Lemmy are the “Russia and China are great” kind of communists.
What they call communism I call crony capitalism with a sprinkle of feudalism, aka the only ones that actually count are the very rich extremely well connected people appointed by the supreme ruler, everyone else counts for less than zero.
TBH America seems less of a capitalist hellscape than either of those countries, which is saying something…
I think those two things are not the same and quite incompatible. Modern China is a capitalist hellscape, certainly not the communist utopia Marx had in mind. They have one of the highest levels of wealth disparity in the world and the highest number of billionaires, even more than the US.
I fully believe that Marx would be horrified if he saw modern China.
I think he meant that it was necessary when going from a capitalist society to a communist society. China went from a rural society to a communist society to a capitalist society.
To be honest, nothing against that, it’s obvious to me that communism as applied by the USSR or Mao or the Kims does not really work and the people really suffered for that, but if you do believe in the communist tenants, then China and Russia are as far away from that as you can possibly get.
Let’s say it’s a lot to ask, especially when the app also needs to be crossplatform and behave functionally the same on all platforms.
Maybe it could be done, in theory, with a lot of work, but it’s definitely not at all an easy task, especially for a project that seemed dead and buried just a few years ago and with just a handful of volunteer devs.
Most crossplatform apps that I can think of don’t really look like native apps in any system. I’m thinking of Chromium, VSCode, Discord, Steam etc.
The only one I can think of right now is Whatsapp, but I’m pretty sure they actually developed three independent apps and maintain all three, for Android, iOS and Windows. They all look and feel like native apps because they are. Please tell me if I’m wrong.
Still, you can’t expect all, or even most developers to do something like that, especially when you start including all the different DEs and themes and so on.
YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?
I think it’s a consequence of higher interest rates drying up VC money, meaning that tech companies now have to actually be profitable, rather than just grow.
If the plan was grow now, profit later, then later has come
Great, as long as it actually works and reduces pollution. I’ve seen enough videos out of China of people spray painting fields of rocks to make them appear like green fields and fleets of electric cars left to rot, all in order to meet targets, that I’m a bit jaded when it comes to great achievements coming from China.
If it actually works though, that’s awesome. China is one of the most polluting countries in the world, if they can reduce their impact even a bit, that’s going to have great consequences.
It didn't work because thousands of people put in lots of work to make sure it wouldn't work. The fear was justified, we just managed to band together and stop that.
It's like with Y2K or the ozone layer issues. It's not that they weren't important, it's that many many people put in the work to fix them before they got a point where we were fucked.
That's more a function of where you live, really. For instance, I prefer summer cause you can go out and do things, go to the beach, to mountains, to the lake, eat outside and stay out until late with lots of light.
But I guess in India winter is not that harsh (at least not on the Himalayas) and probably more enjoyable than in other parts of the world.
the people of the donbass and luhansk voted to join russia and have been killed by ukranian artilliary for many years let them follow the will of democracy
Also Kiyv right? Because Russians tried to take that too you know And the rest of the country for that matter. And depose the democratically elected president. But yeah, tell me now, Zelensky is fascist satanist gay and other epitomes you'll parrot straight from Putler's lips.
The fact of the matter is, Russia invaded Ukraine like Nazi Germany did with Czechoslovakia and Poland, using the pretext of "protecting ethnic minorities" like Nazi Germany did and will be sent back, like Nazi Germany.
But sure, let Russia pursue peace in "good faith" and let them "liberate" cities by turning them to glass floors.
And now, if you even try to mention peace, you are Putin’s shill.
No, you don't. You are Putin's shill if you mention peace only at Russian conditions. I'd welcome a peace where Russia leaves the occupied territories forever and stops waging war, the people of Donbass, both of Russian ethnicity and Ukranian ethnicity, get more autonomy, Tatars can go back to Crimea, Russians can vote democratically and have independent media, talk and protest without going to jail and all in all live better.
I'm against war and if everyone just lived in peace, I'd be much much happier.
Yeah, exactly. Those who didn’t consider themselves Russians have been purged long ago, forcibly deported and driven out from their lands since the early Soviet times.
Tatars and Ukrainians have been targets of ethnic cleansing since a long time in Crimea, and therefore Russia should be granted the land as a prize. Just like with Koenigsberg Kaliningrad, it’s very easy, if you kill and deport everyone in an area, then that area is yours.
