More reputable than a random fash on lemmy that's for sure. Meanwhile, entire books have been written on the subject and it's documented extensively. The article links to numerous ones. Gold star for trying to make a counterpoint I guess.

Entire books on what? The US being fascist? Ok guy… gtfo, gold star for propaganda. There’s whole books written about how your country is now a dictatorship with a president who fakes elections and all they do is throw dissenters out of windows. Random fash, lol wow, you really got me there weirdo. How is Alexei Navalny doing in that super not a fascist country of yours? Maybe you guys will find someplace new to contaminate with radiation while trying to poison more people who disagree with your totally democratically elected leader. Tell me, are you guys still throwing people in prison to rot for putting antiwar stickers in supermarkets or protesting while holding up blank sheets of paper? How very free of you.

Of course nothing of substance to say, just ridiculous attacking of character, as usual. Good luck when you get sent to die in meat waves in Ukraine pal. Maybe your family will get a washing machine or maybe a hog for your efforts. Or you could always steal washing machine and maybe a toilet from Ukraine to send home, check around all the hospitals and children’s schools you guys bombed, you may have some luck. If you can get off the vodka, krokodil or mephedrone long enough to know where you are, of course. Meow meow Boris. Even Prigozhin started to understand what’s actually the reality in your homeland, but you fools just love claiming we’re non political, and don’t know anything. Because say it with me, you’ll be thrown in a cell if you publicly disagree with your dictator. But, yeah sure everywhere else is fascist.

Who is angry? Where am I being angry? Again, stop going off topic, and reply any substance to the discussion at all, but you can’t because you know I’m right. Cry me a river girl. How many accounts are you using to upvote your own post? Because u or be said nothing but empty insults that make no sense to the discussion. You bring absolutely nothing new to the conversation but name calling and nonsensical unrelated accusations because your entire argument is based off trying to change the direction of a conversation.

At any point feel free to respond to anything about your country being fascist and having a dictator, or any of the things I’ve said above about your country, but you never will because your entire state of being here is propaganda and nonsense. Ohh you’re angry, what a response, such a wonderful honest debater. More like a dishonest masterbater if you ask me.

I love how you screech about substance when you haven't said a single thing of substance yourself. Here's some more substance for you though:

Moyers: Bilbo said, “One drop of Negro blood placed in the veins of the purest Caucasian destroys the inventive genius of his mind and palsies his creative faculty.” Is it true that the Nazis thought the one-drop rule too extreme?

Whitman: They did indeed. They never proposed anything nearly as extreme as the one-drop rule. In fact the standard, the most far-reaching Nazi definitions of who counted as a Jew, matched the least far-reaching ones to be found in the American states. Virtually all American definitions of who counted as a black were far more draconian than anything found in any Nazi proposal.

So what did Stalin say about it? Because if Putin were to say the same thing, right now you’d have to agree publicly or be jailed. So go on, what did Stalin say? Because you know in Russia only one opinion matters, and the guys who mattered at the time of WW2 said what I said he said. The guy who wrote that book was never my leader. Back to the outhouse to think again for you, lucky it isn’t winter I guess. Tell me, when will you guys figure out running water? Take a break and inject some of that famous Russian mephedrone or Krokodil while you’re out there to ponder your shit life in Russia before dear leader sends you to meat wave in Ukraine, you waste of oxygen.

p.S. I bet you do love it, you silly weirdo, but no thank you, I have no reason for rage, I’m very comfy with no missiles or bombs of war hitting my country, careful, I hear they throw your kind talking all that love stuff to guys off roofs in Russia, soo free…

Everywhere else is authoritarian but I can’t publicly disagree with the old grandpa. Makes sense.

See here you go exposing yourself as an ignoramus once again. I don't hold it against you given that you were educated in burgerland. They breed you to be stupid there. The reality is that famines were a common occurrence before the revolution. In fact, they were one of the driving factors behind it. Meanwhile, during the 1932 famine, the USSR actually sent aid to affected regions in an attempt to alleviate the famine.

While the leadership did not stop exports, they did try to alleviate the famine. A 25 February 1933 Central Committee decree allotted seed loans of 320,000 tons to Ukraine and 240,000 tons to the northern Caucasus. Seed loans were also made to the Lower Volga and may have been made to other regions as well. Kul'chyts'kyy cites Ukrainian party archives showing that total aid to Ukraine by April 1933 actually exceeded 560,000 tons, including more than 80,000 tons of food


Some bring up massive grain exports during the famine to show that the Soviet Union exported food while Ukraine starved. This is fallacious for a number of reasons, but most importantly of all the amount of aid that was sent to Ukraine alone actually exceeded the amount that was exported at the time.

Aid to Ukraine alone was 60 percent greater than the amount exported during the same period. Total aid to famine regions was more than double exports for the first half of 1933.


According to Tauger, the reason why more aid was not provided was because of the low harvest

It appears to have been another consequence of the low 1932 harvest that more aid was not provided: After the low 1931, 1934, and 1936 harvests procured grain was transferred back to peasants at the expense of exports.


Tauger is not a communist, and ultimately this specific article takes the view that the low harvest was caused by collectivization (he factors in the natural causes of the famine in later articles, based on how he completely neglects to mention weather in this article at all its clear that his position shifted over the years). However, he has the intellectual integrity to admit that the Soviets really did try to alleviate the famine as best as they could.

jstor.org/stable/2500600

Meanwhile, USSR doubled life expectancy in just 20 years. A newborn child in 1926-27 had a life expectancy of 44.4 years, up from 32.3 years thirty years before. In 1958-59 the life expectancy for newborns went up to 68.6 years. the Semashko system of the USSR increased lifespan by 50% in 20 years. By the 1960's, lifespans in the USSR were comparable to those in the USA:

USSR actually ended famines artir.wordpress.com/2017/02/04

Quality of nutrition improved after the Soviet revolution, and the last time USSR had a famine was in 1940s. CIA data suggests they ate just as much as Americans after WW2 period while having better nutrition: cia.gov/readingroom/document/c…

China steps into spotlight at UN climate talks


United Nations (United States) (AFP) – China's emissions-cutting pledge is poised to take center stage at a United Nations climate meeting Wednesday, after US President Donald Trump unleashed a blistering -- if predictable -- broadside against the science surrounding planet-warming fossil fuels.

Some 118 nations will outline plans to curb global warming, which is driving disasters worldwide -- from catastrophic floods in Pakistan to raging wildfires in Spain -- even as many continue expanding oil and gas operations.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang will open the gathering at UN headquarters in New York.

His country -- responsible for about 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions from its factories, power plants, vehicles and more -- is expected to deliver a crucial update: its 2035 emissions-cutting target.

China has never committed to reducing carbon dioxide outright. Instead, it pledged to peak emissions before 2030 -- a goal it appears set to meet five years early thanks to rapid growth in solar energy and electric cars.

Most wealthy nations, historically the biggest contributors to warming, peaked decades ago but still lack credible plans to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

"All eyes will be on China," Li Shuo, an expert at the Asia Society think tank who is well-connected in Beijing, told AFP.

He expects a "high single digit to low double digit" percentage reduction commitment over the next decade, similar to the pace the United States and European Union achieved in the ten years after their own peaks.

That trajectory would fall well short of what is needed to limit warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels -- the target set by the 2015 Paris Agreement to avoid the worst climate catastrophes.

Still, presenting a target ahead of COP30, the year's main climate gathering in Belem, Brazil, will signal China's commitment to the international process even as the US under Trump champions fossil fuels and the EU struggles to unite around its plan.

In any case, Li Shuo warns, focusing too much on the figure risks obscuring the fact that "China has already become the green tech superpower of the world" and is widely expected to under-promise but over-deliver.

For this UN summit, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres invited only countries ready to present or announce a new 2035 climate goal.

Under the Paris accord -- which nearly every country is part of, except Iran, Libya, and soon, the United States -- nations freely set their own targets but must strengthen them every five years.

Most are behind schedule, notably the European Union, where several states fear moving too fast could hurt industry.

France, for example, faces shaky finances and political turmoil, and wants more clarity on investment frameworks before committing to deeper decarbonization.

"There's a current shortfall in ambition demonstrated by the countries that we traditionally look to for leadership (which) are acting more like climate laggards," said Ilana Seid, ambassador to the UN for Palau and chair of the Alliance of Small Island States.

The UN is trying to strike a balance between warning of catastrophe and maintaining hope.

On one hand, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told AFP last week that chances of limiting warming to 1.5C are on the verge of "collapsing," a view echoed by climatologists, with current temperatures already about 1.4C above pre-industrial levels.

On the other, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell insists the Paris process is working.

"Without UN climate cooperation, we were heading for five degrees of heating -- an impossible future," he told a gathering at the annual Climate Week in New York earlier this week. "Today we are closer to three. Still too high -- but bending the curve."

Part of that progress stems from China. A decade ago, three-quarters of its electric mix came from coal -- a figure now down to half. Its booming exports of solar panels, batteries, and electric cars are cutting emissions abroad as well.

I know this has been brought up before, but it's a little unnerving to see posts and comments I've deleted on ml show up elsewhere in the Fediverse...


Deleting or overwriting the title and content on ml seems to propagate sometimes, but not always.

Don't hit, I really like the idea of the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular--I guess I already sort of knew that things worked this way, but, well, I'd be lying if I didn't say this spooked me a bit.

EDIT: I'm usually pretty good about not rageposting or whatever, so there's not a whole lot of stuff I want to expunge from the record, but there are some tech support type questions that I've asked in the past that now seem to me unbelievably and embarrassingly dumb that I'm not sure I want to have out there!

~~EDIT EDIT: I'd also be lying if I didn't say my eyes were wandering a bit towards raddle.me at this point...~~

EDIT EDIT EDIT: (sorry, feeling kinda punchy over here after too much early-morning ☕️) This reminds me of something from back in the pre-Snowden days, when everything was still mostly htttp and while websurfing I had Wireshark open and saw "http://www.nytimes.com/lifestyle/how-to-get-the-most-enjoyment-from-watching-clown-porn.html" flashing past.

Seriously tho, this is back when I, along with just about everyone else I knew, would say things like "well, yeah, you know, Google, Facebook, the internet, etc., everything's out there in the open, but what can you do?" And then there's the feeling you get when you actually see identifiable stuff like this going out across the wires and you're like "...oh..." 🙁

Not unlike the time when my boss asked me if I liked to listen to Rush:

Me: I haven't really listened to that much of their stuff, although I really like Power Windows.

My boss: No, I meant Rush Limbaugh.

Me: ...oh... 🙁

Il team dell'Università di Oxford, della Yale University School of Medicine e dell'Università di Cambridge ha monitorato oltre mezzo milione di adulti e ha scoperto che il rischio di demenza aumentava costantemente con un maggiore consumo di alcol , senza effetti protettivi derivanti da un consumo moderato di alcol, sfidando le ipotesi consolidate su un livello "sicuro" di alcol per la salute del cervello.

Who stopped the UN escalator? Likely Trump's videographer, says UN


The United Nations believes it has solved the mystery of why an escalator abruptly stopped shortly after Donald Trump stepped onto it on Tuesday - his videographer may have accidentally triggered a safety mechanism.

U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said a readout of the escalator's central processing unit indicated it "had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator."

He said Trump's videographer had been traveling backwards up the escalator to capture his arrival with First Lady Melania Trump.

What browser should I use on mobile? I use Librewolf on desktop since it runs fine, and the vertical tabs are great, and it looks nice.

On mobile though there's a lot of problems with the browser space:

  • Chrome: runs great but is obviously not good for privacy
  • Firefox: what most people recommend, but it has terrible performance, looks not great, and doesn't even have more than basic fingerprinting protection, and literally includes ads by default. It's also less secure on Android because they don't do per site process isolation, and the memory allocator is worse.
  • Brave: people tend to dislike brave here, but it runs well (since it's chromium based) and has at least better fingerprinting protection.

What other options are there?

Tbh firefox performs great and works for me, and its issues can be fixed with extensions and settings, both on desktop and mobile. I never looked for anything else myself. I also like to use a browser that is not chromium-based, I do not want google to have the monopoly.

maybe I am just not picky, but if you need more privacy than what can be achieved with a hardened firefox config you might be better off using TOR at that point.

Jimmy Kimmel says silencing comedians is ‘anti American’, as his show returns to air after suspension


The host’s monologue noted that the suspension of his late night programme had ignited a national debate over free speech

Jimmy Kimmel returned to air on Tuesday night, calling government threats to silence comedians “anti American”, as he broke his silence about the suspension from ABC which ignited a national debate over free speech and outcry over the bullying tactics of the Trump administration.

“This show is not important” Kimmel said during his first monologue since Disney, which owns ABC, suspended his late-night show from the network last week under pressure from Trump officials over his comments on the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. “What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”

Kimmel’s comments come one day after Disney, facing backlash from Hollywood stars, unions, media hosts and even Republicans such as Ted Cruz, allowed Jimmy Kimmel Live! to resume production.

Sto continuando a leggere Sailor Moon, per farmi forza con la realtà terribile del nostro mondo reale e, nel mentre che (sull’altro blog) sto tentando anche di scrivere a riguardo dei vari capitoli, nell’8 una robina mi ha attirato l’attenzione… La scrivo qui perché nel contesto dell’altro articolo non centrava tanto, e comunque non lo volevo allungare più del dovuto solo per approfondire una lore che non è quella del manga in questione, bensì della mia persona. 😼
Scena in cui Usagi si alza alle 6, prima della sveglia, e trova il padre in casa stupito che lei sia già alzata, quindi lei si giustifica dicendo che fino a prima è stata il suo alter ego pigrone......Quindi lei precisa di essere Sailor Moon, ma il padre la liquida scherzando e non le crede.
Si sapeva già che io sono abbastanza simile a Usagi… dormo, zzz, non sento la sveglia, pure a metà giornata sono assolutamente fatta drogata di sonno, e così via… e poi ok, a scuola non ero troppo ceppona, ma all’università si, quindi il cerchio già così si chiude quasi. La gran differenza sta nella nostra caratterizzazione come ragazze magiche (così come la differenza tra lei e le altre guerriere sue alleate, naturalmente), perché per ora io non ho sbloccato alcun potere psichedelico stupefacente, e piuttosto tutte e sole le magie effettive, dimostrabili, che io riesco a fare riguardano il software… ma non è questo il punto. 😳

Io e Sailor Moon siamo, al di là delle differenze individuali, esattamente sulla stessa barca… Come lei è stata in realtà messa dov’è a causa del suo essere una guerriera predestinata — non dico di più sia perché a questo punto della storia ancora la cosa non è totalmente chiara, e comunque qui non voglio fare spoiler — io anche evidentemente, dopo essere stata concepita in un’altra galassia, sono stata poi deportata e costretta a vivere sulla Terra — per giunta con un assetto corporeo di base sconveniente, e che alla fine dei conti io devo farmi il mazzo per sistemare, ma questa è tutta un’altra questione — per motivi a me però ancora non chiari… Sicuramente a me qualcuno voleva fare qualcosa che chiamare dispetto è poco, però a pensarci bene non può essere solo questo… ci deve essere qualche altra motivazione che io ancora non ho scoperto, no? 😵‍💫

Ma, ciancio alle bande, il dettaglio allo stesso tempo sia molto triste, che a suo modo rassicurante, è che… Come praticamente nessuno crede alla mia lore, solo perché è ancora relativamente imprecisa e senza prove — come se fosse colpa mia se non esistono tracce già scritte della mia storia e io non riesco a fare più di quello che posso, e che ogni tanto con questi post faccio, per rimediare — trattandomi da mezza scema, così fanno con Usagi. Ed ecco quindi che suo padre, in questa vignetta, le ha risposto proprio tipo come mi risponderebbero i miei genitori, quando capita che ribadisco le mie origini ultraterrene. Poi certo, Sailor Moon è un po’ fritta se si alza un’ora prima del dovuto solo perché si è svegliata, anziché rimanere a letto finché non suona la sveglia come invece faccio sempre io, e si giustifica con la storia dell’alter ego… però, noi non ci meritiamo tutto questo. 😶

E allora io mi chiedo quali magie ancora mi spettano da imparare, quali dimostrazioni di capacità devo ancora dispensare, quali prove inattaccabili devo presentare, per farmi valere esattamente come sono, e non semplicemente come “una ragazza stramba, dice sempre stronzate del tipo che viene da un altro pianeta, boh“… Ma purtroppo, se credo che 12 volumi basteranno e avanzeranno perché le Sailor riescano a risvegliarsi completamente su ciò che sono davvero, a me le illuminazioni sono estremamente rare e fin troppo parziali… serviranno decenni, se va bene, però a quel punto più che una ragazza magica sarò una zitella magica, che decisamente non è la stessa cosa. Sigh!!! ☠️

How to Use a Grammar Checker for Beginners: Tips to Polish Your Writing?


Writing well is a valuable skill whether you’re a student, professional, or content creator. Clear, error-free writing builds credibility and helps your message shine. However, spotting every mistake on your own can be difficult. This is where digital tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors become essential. If you are just getting started, this guide will walk you through how to use these tools effectively to polish your writing.


Why Use a Grammar Checker?
Grammar checkers are designed to detect common writing issues such as spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, subject-verb disagreements, and improper sentence structures. For beginners, they serve as a user-friendly solution to improve writing quality without needing advanced grammar knowledge.
Benefits include:
• Saving time on proofreading
• Catching unnoticed errors
• Improving sentence clarity
• Offering learning opportunities with explanations of mistakes


How to Use a Grammar Checker
1. Choose a Tool – Popular options include Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and Quillbot. Many offer free versions with basic features.
2. Paste or Upload Your Text – Most tools let you copy-paste text or upload a document directly.
3. Review Suggestions – Pay attention to each correction offered. A good practice is to understand why the correction is suggested rather than just accepting it blindly.
4. Apply or Ignore – Not every suggestion fits your writing style. Use judgment to accept corrections that improve clarity without changing the meaning.
5. Recheck Your Work – After edits, run the text again to ensure it is polished.


Adding a Plagiarism Checker
While grammar checkers fix errors, plagiarism checkers ensure originality. Beginners often unintentionally copy text by paraphrasing too closely or forgetting citations.
How to use a plagiarism checker:
• Paste your text into a reliable tool like Turnitin, Grammarly’s plagiarism checker, or Quetext.
• Review the report, which highlights matched content sources.
• Rephrase flagged sections or add proper citations to make your work original.
Using a plagiarism checker not only prevents academic or professional issues but also boosts your credibility as a writer.


Free AI Content Detector: Ensuring Authenticity
With the rise of AI-generated text, many institutions and platforms now require proof that content is authentically human-written. Free AI content detectors help by analyzing whether your text resembles machine-generated language.
Steps for beginners:
• Copy and paste your work into a detector tool such as GPTZero, Originality.ai, or Scribbr’s AI detector.
• Check the percentage score—it will show how “human-like” your writing appears.
• If your score suggests high AI involvement, review areas that sound generic or overly formal. Rewrite them in your voice for more authenticity.


Best Practices for Beginners
• Use these tools as a guide, not a crutch. Don’t rely on them to do all the thinking for you.
• Combine grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and content detectors for a complete polish.
• Always reread your work manually; no tool is 100% perfect.
• Learn from the corrections. Over time, you’ll notice fewer mistakes in your drafts.


Final Thoughts
For beginners, writing may seem overwhelming, but tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors simplify the process. They ensure your writing is not only error-free but also original and human-authentic. By using these tools wisely, you can grow into a confident writer with polished, professional content.

Can someone please help me get a Matlab crack installing?


I've tried 2 different Windows cracks I found -- the FileCR 2023b crack, and the AppDoze 2025a crack. Both look legit to me but in both cases I get the exact same issue: With my computer offline, following the readmes, I mount the iso, run setup.exe, select "I have a File Installation Key", enter said key, and get this error: "Unable to load product files. Product files must be in the same folder as the input file. For help getting the product files, see the installation documentation on MATLAB Answer" which links to mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an… which is clear as mud.

I tried 0ing out the key and confirmed that it recognizes when you give it a bad key, so the key in the crack is still detected as a valid key, that's probably not the issue.

Thank you to any fellow pirate who can help a poor cuttlefish out o7 ❤

EDIT: Based on mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an…

I should be able to use the installer (once logged in) to download files without installing, then go offline and use the file installation key. However, the option to download files without installing is all greyed out.

Interesting. Many people reporting similar problems with that one, but someone in June claims to have had success with the very version of 2025a I tried!

It appears Matlab took down their installers for every version of Matlab other than 2025b. I wonder if that's why now I can't install these. But I don't understand, it's supposed to work offline.



FCC chairman unconvincingly claims he never threatened ABC station licenses


cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/46642556

While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn't mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel's show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for "news distortion," but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.


Google just broke *all* third-party YT clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.


So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.

This reeks of DRM.

UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.

UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.

Democratic lawmakers demand answers from TV station owners over pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show


ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.

Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”

“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.

Fingers crossed it gets fixed soon. Logged-in streams seem to break quite often.

Looking at the network tab while loading a thread, I see you need to include type_=All.

(lemmy-ui sends other parameters too but your example URL works for me with just tyoe_=All added.)

i'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that jlai.lu is configured to default to the Local view while lemmy.world defaults to All

Fidarsi è bene ma non fidarsi è meglio.
Danny combinaguai da una parte dice "l'economia russia è al tracollo", dall'altra poi son strette di mano e "grandi amici", "Israele ora basta, stai esagerando", dall'altra "hanno diritto a fare quel che vogliono".

Potrebbero sostituirlo già con un'ai, considerato le allucinazioni

considera che SharePoint è ormai ancora uno standard di fatto della gestione documentale militare nei paesi occidentali. Già ha ricevuto una sberla improvvisa con la falla emersa di recente, ma soprattutto sta vivendo un periodo di crisi reputazionale con l'attuale andazzo statunitense. La sostituzione di SharePoint con Alfresco o Docunentun sarà il prossimo passo dell'emancipazione di qualche forza armata europea dal monopolio Microsoft?
