I’ve also enjoyed working with it. Switching to React Native for a different project later felt like a huge step back.

Yes, the company is called Wilk Elektronik and their production facility is in Łaziska Górne, Poland, which they’ve also recently expanded to focus on more products aside from RAM modules. Not every single component in their SSDs will come from Europe, but the final production is European.

I don’t think there are any European companies manufacturing HDDs themselves. Some, for example German Intenso, sell HDDs under their name, but the actual manufacturer will be a different one. For SSDs, there’s Swissbit and Goodram.

It’s funny how, according to online commenters, every single thing the west did in support of Ukraine over the last few years would cause a new world war. We should be at WW42 by now!

Comparing the time when I joined Lemmy around 2 years ago to now, I would say that the general tone has become somewhat more unfriendly. A larger userbase might be a contributing factor, but I think it’s also the political climate in the west becoming a lot worse recently with many divisive issues and people being more stressed about the state of the world.

Ideally yes, but that will never happen as quickly (if at all) when it’s a country that has been considered an ally for decades. Similar to how many European politicians are still going on about the US being an “important ally”, even when it’s Trump’s USA being openly hostile to our way of life and democracy.

Yes I do, because my own experience of existence suggests I have it. Could that all be an illusion? Sure. But believing I don’t have free will would pretty much deny the existence of my self, which, being myself, I’m not really capable of, nor would I want to do that.

Quite late, but hopefully more countries will follow suit.

No accounts were compromised and no accounts are threatened. The codes inside the SMS were valid for 15 minutes and are now just a meaningless assortment of random numbers.

Wonder if we’re already starting to see the impact of AI being trained on AI-generated content.

Oof. First time this happened in German history. He’ll probably get voted in in the 2nd or 3rd vote, but this sure sets the tone for the new government.

Could you give us an example of such a location please?

Russia, which is blocked from other international payment systems. Or any other authoritarian country where you might not necessarily want the government to know where you donate your money to.

Whataboutism fallacy.

We’re still throwing around fallacies like it’s 2010? Okay, I cast fallacy fallacy!

When talking about whether a donation button should have a specific payment option, it’s relevant if the alternatives it offers are better or worse. Otherwise, the argument might as well be to not have a donation option at all.

Depending on where users are located, it might be the only realistic option they have if they want to donate. Besides, traditional payment systems like PayPal, MasterCard, Visa etc are all problematic in their own right.

I don’t really get the need for a term like this. People are attracted or not attracted to all kinds of aspects of other people, so do we also need hyper-specific terms based on hair color, ethnicity, body size etc as well?

No, I’d rather just have a decent search function. Lemmy should be about human interaction, not getting answers from an LLM.

They talked much shit about how Ukraine treated POWs but was completely silent about how Russia treated Ukrainian POWs

Is that so?

Russian authorities have subjected Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) and civilian captives to torture, prolonged incommunicado detention, enforced disappearance and other inhumane treatment, which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, Amnesty International said in a new report today.

So the organization that regularly publishes reports on Russian warcrimes (Example) is bought by Russians. Uh-huh…

So because they criticized the wrong military that one time, we don’t have to care about political prisoners in Bhutan? Convenient.

So far I haven’t noticed prices actually going down on Aliexpress etc - at least not for the things I’m looking to buy.

This is an English-language community btw.
