For YouTube? Not for me, and if some instance is down I just click "Remove + Autopick" on the addon and it redirects to other instance... if all instances are down, I can choose other 12 frontends to use from the addon menu (but I never did, I have only used Invidious so far)
if you set up a pi-hole you aren't sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though... unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows...
Tons of reasons. Famines were occurring way before the USSR, in the 1890s there was a huge famine in Ukraine and Russia that killed about a million people, and several other smaller regional famines until the Revolution.During the collectivization a lot of regions slaughtered livestock, destroyed crops and equipment as protest... pikachu face when they realized they just destroyed their food and means of producing it... but was that practice all so widespread to justify all famines? There was poor resource management and planning as well until they managed to industrialize (and stuff like exporting food while people were starving), as long with natural causes.... I'm in no way sharp enough to discuss this right now, almost 20 years since I left college and this is a subject I care very little at the moment. But that book I recommended is a start.
You mean a record of collective experience painting a bigger picture about a subject may be more valued than a single anecdotal account?Ask a white middle class boomer how was growing up in the American 50s and he might say it was a great time based on his experience... a black person might give a different perspective...
I believe more often than not a quick Google search may provide more information than someone you are talking to. I'd take a Google search over 99% of what any of my relatives have to say about any subject :P
That's quite surprising given by how touchy they are about everything (that ml user comment even says "stupid" is ableism), I thought they would be welcomed all around the fediverse.
I kept reading and found someone else pointing a lot of those filters are off by default (like decreasing reputation if you reply with a gif, what was even the idea here lol). I'm also not a native speaker, and if I'm talking about a serious subject and write a long text I usually use a chatbot to grammar check me and sometimes that crap changes my hyphens for em dashes and I don't notice - at least it seems like you only get flagged for posting an em dash instead of losing score. I'm still not sure what to think about the reputation score though...Lastly, even though I have blocked hexbear and lemmygrad, I find it lame that'd they'd ban it by default :P
Even though I'm on lemmy, I was very interested in Piefed and even upvoted this post thinking it's very cool, but then through this post I've read this comment and this is lame af https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/62580326/24059434
Hi, I'm creating a site for my pets and I just finished his page, so if you are interested check it out: https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/pets/saibot (there are only two profiles ready so far, so not much to see yet :P)
