Why am I not surprised? I stopped having any trust in that platform when they killed 3rd party clients. I would suggest everyone to leave reddit and watch it implode from afar.
Yes, it stings. It's a habit. You still have nice subs in there, communities that make you happy. But you're fiddling as the ship sinks. That's the metaphor, isn't it?
You say data, and I say data. Let's call the whole thing off.
We should all be using the name less. And I don't mean Jesus, I mean the other one. Because as far as I know Christ wasn't a raging, unapologetic pedophile.
Weather is expressed in different ways in different languages. The fact that English, like many other European languages, uses a mysterious "it" as a subject to say what's going on is actually the outlier. More languages use a formula more like "rain falls, snow falls, sun shines, etc."
So you tell him the "it" stands for "the weather" although that isn't true. You could more truthfully say it's a convention and English sentences need a subject. And then you add that "is raining" also transports the idea that it is in the process of happening right now. Don't question it, accept it.
Learn a bit of Russian. That language is full of colorful images, irregularities, and inexplicable grammar. More so than English, probably. So you can put him in his place when he complains. Like, dude, y'all don't even know what blue is!
In my opinion, you could clean up the design, make it a bit less like a human sketched it. I think the rays of the sun would look better with a white outline as well. These are just stylistic choices that I would make and you're free to ignore.
What I would definitely like to ask you to reconsider is the name of this fictional place. "Oriental" has picked up a few negative connotations in English, crossing into racist abuse on occasion. I'm sure you don't want that attached to your nice design.
I am afraid you are "fucked" if you think AJ is an example of independent media and that YT numbers are enough proof for media suppression. Most people on this planet do not watch YT. And the ones who do tend to be influenced by their algorithms that continuously change. That makes YT numbers as slippery as an eel in a lubricant factory. By which I mean unreliable to start a conspiracy theory about a poor, cash strapped, impeccably impartial artisan media outlet from Qatar. Slash s.
Some of the technical info flew right over my head in the first article. What I took from the piece is that he has valid points so far as I can see and understand it. I would say nevertheless the author was a bit biased as well. And it's 3 years old. It may still be accurate, IDK.
I use F-Droid and have been for a while and I'm not aware of any issues this could've caused me. But I'm also not using it for essential systems. Not for browsers, VPN, etc. I have downloaded games, a couple of notes apps, that sort of thing. I would never recommend you get all your apps from there. It's an addition to Google or your usual poison.
Security experts will never be happy; that's their job. The author is also talking about your threat model. Are you okay with certain risks? The truth is also that somebody could screw you over on Google Play. It may be less likely comparatively but not impossible. So you try to jump from rock to rock hoping no alligator catches you. So far no alligator got me.
Most people who say that do so for dogmatic reasons, not because they arrived at this conclusion after careful analysis. It's the political point of small government.
These are the same people who will probably be first in line shouting for government intervention when their drinking water is full of chemical waste.
You can try to reason with folks like that but you probably won't change their mind. Just try not to shout at them.
But FSBhub is!
I would think the sandwiches would be delivered before any declaration of independence.
I don't have the foggiest idea where I could've gotten the idea from.
Thanks for the explanation.
