Ukraine tells critics of slow counteroffensive to 'shut up'

  • The support looks like donating supplies to aid the victims of the bombings.

    Yes, people are dying and I don't doubt that there are internet idiots enjoying "carnage", but I'm still not hearing what else you think people should be doing. Are you suggesting that Ukraine should surrender? Are you saying Russia should stop? Maybe that everyone should stop supporting the Ukrainian government until they sort this out between themselves? What are you talking about? You've found examples of unreasonable people with unreasonable stances, but please provide useful information to those of us that touch grass.

    • Ukraine tells critics of slow counteroffensive to 'shut up'

  • I don't know anyone cheering for people to die. Everyone I know that supports Ukraine does so because they feel for the victims of the missiles launched by Russia at schools and homes.

    Your explanation seems very emotionally charged, which I understand. Can you give anything more concrete? I, and many others in this thread, are very out of the loop.

    • Ukraine tells critics of slow counteroffensive to 'shut up'

  • Why?

    • Microsoft accused of malware-like tactics, again, in attempt to push users onto Bing

  • Seeing a very popular and powerful $5 OS next to $100 Windows cards at the store would be pretty compelling. I guess their advantage would still be that all you need is a code to install Windows on many machines while you need to boot into an external drive to install Ubuntu (and any other OS).

    • You become President of the United States. A wealthy person attempts to bribe you to do what they tell you to do for one million US Dollars per year (paid weekly). Do you take this offer?

  • Wouldn't happen

    • Stupid question, but what makes Linux, linux?

  • While that all is true, I'm pretty sure it is pasta as well fyi

    • Sold my car in late 2019... reached a Milestone today

  • Sadly, eagles don't sound nearly as cool and I originally thought. Somehow, I got the impression that the bald eagle has some loud and menacing scream, but that scream actually belongs to some type of hawk. The bald eagle sounds much wimpier.

    • Compare american vs japanese craftsmen-cars

  • Yeah, I feel like US trucks really should be company vehicles for the most part. That'd be a decent niche imo. And if it's company money, they'd probably go with the cheaper option anyway

    • Compare american vs japanese craftsmen-cars

  • I could make a lot of those arguments about the other truck too. Most people don't need a truck for most of their transportation. People in this thread are a ting like there isn't a single good reason to use American trucks. I can agree that they're usually excessive, but you cannot pretend that the other truck is better in every way.

    • How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?

  • How'd you end up in that career?

    • "Teddit is Shutting Down. Lemmy is the New Reddit"

  • Same. Reddit is my only source of baseball news and content and there just isn't a scene for that here on Lemmy....

    Maybe I should post...

    • What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?

  • That first one is pretty good. If you had asked me what 550/2 is, I'd have said 275. But since you showed me 225 before I thought about it, it confused me.

    • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges

  • Thank you for actually doing this.

    I guess that can also be extended to things that can accidentally be suspicious. Imagine if Colonel Mustard, who "doesn't have anything to hide", let the police search their trunk and found a broken candle stick. Even though he wasn't being searched for that in particular, now he's a suspect in Mrs. Peacock's murder at the gazebo (Clue reference).

    • PSA: Lemmy votes can be manipulated

  • I'm not a security expert by any means, though I would imagine this type of attack can more be more easily made harder to execute if all accounts have to go through one server first. Lemmy seems to be as strong as the weakest link in this regard, but a centralized model is just a single link. I imagine that any effective strategy that works for Lemmy is much easier on a centralized platforms, even though the reverse statement isn't true.

    That said, I'm optimistic that this gets figured out. Centralized platforms have had decades to solve this problem and we're just getting started.

    • PSA: Lemmy votes can be manipulated

  • I think the point is that the Fediverse is severely limited by this vulnerability. It's not supposed to solve that specific problem, but that problem might need to be addressed if we want the Fediverse to be able to do what we want it to do (put the power back in the hands of the users)

    • If you suddenly had "fuck you" money what would be the first thing you did?

  • Pay off the debt of everyone in my family

    • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges

  • I agree with you, but I don't think I could explicitly state what's wrong with that mentality. Can you humor me and state it?

    • GrapheneOS is great!

  • Darn, I've been boycotting the Pixel ever since Google broke my 4 XL and tried to get me to pay to have them repair it.

    • What is a good way to benchmark test a GPU in Linux?

  • What? How large is you laptop?? When you say "two graphics cards", do you mean two GPUs or two full boards?
