The link is an archive of OP’s article, for anyone wondering if they should click.

Just to clarify, since Yezhov (listed above in the post you’re replying to) was the main architect of the Yezhovshchina, and was himself later a victim of the same Great Purge, did he do some hard self-reflecting and turn himself in?

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

In my embellished mental image of this, you’re careening down the wrong side of the road, puzzled why everyone’s flashing their lights at you and honking, until one of you says, “Oh, it must be the number plate.”

I eyeballed an edit, because the horizon line and lack of squareness bothered me:

“You fell for a phishing scam and hadn’t enabled two-factor authentication” is more likely, followed closely by “You used the same password for another service/platform that got compromised”.

Microsoft are being unhelpful here and deserve to be criticised, but the fault for the “hack” is almost certainly the responsibility of the user.

I think the BBC has made the wrong assumption when cribbing from ABC or another news source.

Ms Brown has tracked down the great-nephew of one of the soldiers, Private Malcolm Alexander Neville, who came from Wilkawatt in South Australia.

He said his aunt, who was now 101, always told stories over the years of “Uncle Malcolm” and how he never returned home from the war.

I guess she, born in 1924, had heard a lot of stories from her parents or other families about him.

In this thread, mostly: “Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory.”

I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.

The news source, Roya, is Jordanian and does not recognize Israel as a state.

He said he was a doctor, but i don’t know what kind of doctor smokes over a corpse.

Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

Psst… O, not O’ - it’s the vocative particle, not a contraction of of or on.

I like my iPhone. It’s solid hardware and reasonably capable software. It does everything I need it to do, and gives me really solid control over API access to privacy-centric controls like location and microphone.

I still wouldn’t skip a beat to switch to another phone manufactured by another company (though I regret how much of a duopoly there is). The inconvenience is minor; Apple just needs to give me a shove and I’ll switch.

Firefox is fundamentally fine; a lot of the recent-ish news about it has been sensationalist (and it wouldn’t be surprising to find that Google or Brave LLC were seeding it, honestly, though I’m totally speculating).

The AI stuff is just them exposing the DOM to an LLM of your choice, if you want to, to stay competitive with the other browsers. If the telemetry is an issue for you even when you’ve changed your settings, use a fork like LibreWolf.
