The current regime in Kiev was installed by a US coup in 2014. Obama even bragged about carrying it out.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Full list of alternatives to Big Tech - Rebel Tech Alliance - please share
13·3 days agoA lot of these suggestions aren’t great. A ton of US-based or 5-eyes companies and closed source software.
Ppl on lemmy already maintain far better recommendations.
I firmly believe you should develop apps natively for that platform. That means jetpack-compose for android, and swift ui for iOS.
These write-once-for-all platforms layers are always bloated, slow, unoptimized, and behind the official native specs.
Decent programmers know how to learn new languages and frameworks as necessary, and most of the concepts are the same across programming languages. Nothing near as difficult as learning a real language.

Corporate interests (either via the military industry or finance capital) are definitely still the main driver of US imperial policy.

Memes@lemmy.ml•More than half of US families are one paycheck away from homelessness.
26·6 days agoHome ownership rate is the percentage of homes occupied, not the percentage of people who own their homes (or even have positive equity in them).
From what I could find, 1/3rd of the adult population rents, another 3rd have mortgages with negative equity, and 1/3rd have positive or paid off mortgages. I couldn’t find the number who fully own their homes.
Either way all of the above categories could still be house-poor, meaning you’re spending most of your income on housing and upkeep, and could still be a paycheck away from homelessness, unable to pay rent/mortgage. I had a relative who fully owned her home, but was unable to pay the property tax and her house was seized.

202·6 days agoIf that isn’t the definition of imperialism, I don’t know what is.
Yeah, its clear you have no clue what that is. Trade and development are not imperialism.
Banned. Some people really do have zero compassion for others that might be harmed.
Democrats were and will be happy to continue to bomb all trans ppl out of existence, as long as they’re not from white countries.
Democrats were staunchly against even gay marriage… Hillary Clinton was against it until 2008. They’re an opportunistic controlled opposition party and will be against your rights as soon as it becomes expedient.

I used to use typing.com, but for the last two layouts I learned, just keybr. It adds keys slowly, and makes sure you “level up” to more keys in a uniform way.

Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Release v0.19.15 and Testing for 1.0English
1·14 days agoIts just devs that aren’t watching the releases, and using custom javascript libraries rather than the ones we publish.























Sure, open up issues for these on the lemmy-ui repo.
The resizing an image is out of scope tho, we aren’t going to embed an image suite into lemmy-ui, so you’ll have to do that locally.
