It’s very actively maintained. It’s just a hardened version of Firefox, you can get similar results using a privacy-focused user.js profile with Firefox. What’s nice about is is that once Firefox introduces a new update with more breaches of privacy, they adjust the settings on their side, so it’s just more convenient. And you can configure some things via the GUI instead of some JavaScript files
You can always just move to another instance
I’ve made a choice a while ago while deploying Nextcloud. Now I don’t care, as I trust myself that I have opted for something reasonable which was hopefully not SQLite
The war started in 2022, and so this means that they were trading with Russia for 3 years straight with no consequences until July 18, 2025, unless I am missing something. Like, why didn’t they get sanctioned in 2022 but only after 3 years?
Why were they able to stay under the radar for 3 years?
I doubt UK could surpass China and Russia in terms of internet censorship any time soon
You know you can just switch to some small instance that’s not blocked and you’re gonna be good? Even in China the small Lemmy instances work while the big ones are obviously blocked
Did you actually read what you quote? It aligns with what I said - Chinese feel mostly satisfied with their government and don’t want the democracy, and don’t feel that their government is democratic. Claiming that Chinese believe that their country is democratic is not what Harvard did in the document that you’ve provided.
Regarding “not only possible but likely”: please do the math. If the share of population believing in X is 90%, the chance that none of the five selected people do X is (1 - 0.9)^5 = 0.001% (i.e., 1 in 100,000), assuming independence across people. That’s what you call likely?
PS. Why is this always the .ml instance 😀
Well, I must have been super unlucky then as I have talked about it with like 5 different Chinese met at 5 different circumstances
Over 90% of Chinese agree that “democracy is important” and 80% agree that their country is democratic? Was this survey conducted in Taiwan and signed as “China” complying with “one China policy”?
I’ve never met any Chinese believing that their country is democratic nor that democracy is important. Quite the opposite - they usually say that China grew thanks to the lack of democracy (never calling it a dictatorship though)
Even the CCP propaganda doesn’t claim that China is the democracy but instead they show the negative sides of the democracies so that people don’t even think that it may be a good idea if China was democratic
Regarding this “news” site as it’s the first time I am seeing this (the .su domain is for Soviet Union by the way):
Ownership information is not transparent; however, according to the NEO about page, its address is “12, Rozhdestvenka Street, office 111, Moscow.” The exact address is also used by “The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.” Typically, the Putin government gives the Research Institutes’ control to the Ministry of Education; therefore, the Russian government funds and owns this journal through the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Straight from Windows to Hyperland? That’s wild!
In India money makes all the laws irrelevant
You mean the Trump-Epstein files, right?
Wow, I feel sorry for what you need to deal with. I hope you did not have to remove all their comments one by one though!
Hey, on the cost part, I’ve noticed that you’ve spent quite some money on the domain, I assume with some Czech provider (since the transaction amount is in CZK). What I can suggest you is comparing the prices with different providers as 40€ seems to be a lot for a .world domain. I can recommend this website for comparing different providers: https://tld-list.com/tld/world
Also, not sure what you use for hosting, but DeluxHost has some good VPS offers if you require no more than 5 TB/month in bandwidth (I have no clue what Lemmy hosting uses). Example: €15/year (not month) (full list) for 2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSDs, 1xIPv4 + 1x /64 IPv6 and 10Gbit speed, hosted in the Netherlands. I host myself another service with them, so I can share benchmarks or whatever you need (and vouch that the uptime is perfect so far, except for the scheduled maintenances), if interested, but if you go this route - just want to note that do have a good backup system in place in case they go down one day, as it often happens with smaller providers.
Works fine on my side. If I am not mistaken, the bot protection does not affect API that Voyager uses (correct me if I’m wrong though)
Can’t they really use EU technologies instead?
I don’t get the hype; the American companies (FedEx/UPS) will just keep the profits from now on instead
Why not just use Ungoogled Chromium?
