  • Russia doesn’t need Ukraine on its own, they need Ukraine to get access Poland, Romania and Moldova.

    They already switched into war time production, and if they manage to get Ukraine they only need a year or two to replenish all military equipment.

    People really underestimate Russia and that’s the worst thing you can do to get caught pants down. If Russia senses there’s a chance to succeed they will move on.

    Another thing the West seems to be ignoring is that they think the war is just what is happening in Ukraine, when the majority of their operation is disinformation, subversion, and destabilization.

    The popularity of far right politicians (who for some reason are friendly toward Kremlin) or BRExit shows how effective it is.














  • I’m guessing you don’t work in corporate environment or no longer work from home.

    There are times when video is expected to be on, but you don’t want to show your room to everyone.

    Having said that I can’t think of firefox being able to stream video yet not being able to do this, so likely it is Google’s way to make its competitor look subpar. Probably can be fixed by spoofing user agent. Ironically the most recent change in Chrome will make this very difficult in the future.






  • Here’s my view. Lemmy.nz is intended for an NZ audience. Hexbear has been defederated from 5 of the top 8 largest instances. This is problematic for us, as their All is much more likely to show lemmy.nz posts than All on other instances. It starts to feel like we’re being brigaded, even though we aren’t, because their instance is the 10th largest Lemmy instance and yet they don’t see most Lemmy posts (but they do see ours).

    I could be wrong, but my understanding is that when instance like hexbear is defederated, they can still see your posts, they can even comment and vote on them. You just don’t see it anymore. They would have to defederate on their side too, to completely block it.
