In my comment below, I explained what happens to Ukrainians in those territories. To put it short, they lose their homes and have to evacuate somewhere else within Ukraine (they can't leave the country or cross the front line). Did Russia provide any help to those poor souls? No. Is this what is called "freeing"?

France was occupied by Germany. When you start a war with another country because their government gone wild, it's not liberation. Is the US liberating the Iranian people?

Well, this is what those "liberated" cities look like:

Chasiv Yar

And dwellers of those cities can't just cross the frontline and start living in Russia. They only can evacuate deeper into Ukraine because otherwise they won't survive. And Ukrainian government doesn't build new houses for them. They give them a bit of money (but you won't be able to afford rent), and sometimes they offer quickly built barracks (trust me, you wouldn't want to live there). So I doubt you would find any of those "liberated" people happy.

If that's not enough, Russia also bombs electricity infrastructure in winter (it's a high demand season). Because of this, people across the country suffer from electricity outages. Imagine having only 3 hours of electricity per day (that's how it was in Odessa about a month ago). It's also quite cold in here. I'm not sure what Russia's strategy is, maybe they're trying to destroy the country's economy or hurt manufacturing abilities, but it's simply inhumane. Regular people suffer a lot because of it.

What I'm trying to say is that it's not about liberating people. Many Ukrainians hate their government, especially after TCR gone wild (it's like ICE, but much worse), and recent corruption scandals tied to Zelensky's inner circle. But it's replacing one shitty government with another. Russia is also corrupt, half of the internet is banned, you can't even access YouTube or popular Matrix servers, and LGBTQ is illegal (also, every time it's mentioned it's labeled with "the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia" - here you can see this in a TASS article for example).

For example, it's when they talk about how they're "liberating" Ukrainian people. Here are some of the recent posts from the OP:

Do they oppose the US? Sure. But are they freeing Ukrainian people? Hell no - they've been suffering for 4 years.

It's like saying "America is just helping Iranian people to overthrow their government". They don't care about Iranian people at all.

Yes, but all mods are paid and EA takes 70% cut 😢

Shatur @lemmy.ml 2mo ago

It's like saying, "Invading Iran is okay because their state is bad." It's not okay - look at how much suffering it causes. And for what? Simply replacing one oligarchy with another.

Looking forward to the community visibility feature.

There are bots on Lemmy that duplicate posts from sources like Reddit. They usually post into special locked communities on dedicated instances (such as lemmit.online). Most instances have banned these bots to avoid flooding the local feed with high-volume bot reposts. And this makes perfect sense.

But with the ability to unlist a community, we probably won't need to ban such bots and can instead ask their authors to unlist those automated communities. This way, people who want to occasionally read posts from niche Reddit communities can still access them without hurting proper Lemmy growth.

Awesome idea!

Yes, it supports video out and shows only the top screen

I had Retroid Pocket Flip 2 and the one in Thor is much better. Not sure what the exact word to describe it, but it feels much more smooth.

Russ from Retro Game Corps made a detailed review about this device on YouTube. If you're interested, highly suggest to watch.

I found it quite comfortable. I finished New Super Mario Bros DS and played quite a lot of GTA 3. But my hands aren't very big 🙂

I had the GameSir X2 back in the day. I really liked the aesthetic, but passthrough charging didn't work with the PinePhone, and it also didn't work at all with my Google Nexus (an old phone). Later, I switched to the Backbone One, and it worked perfectly with all the devices I had. So good drivers are important. But that was quite some time ago - I'm pretty sure many things have improved on the GameSir side. Later I sold both and switched to a dedicated device.

I'd watch a recent video from Russ about phone controllers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYElqO7EdXo He mentions the Taco one, it indeed looks cute 🙂
