  • Ukrainian soldiers left emaciated on frontline from lack of food and water

  • This is not a problem of funds. It's been a choice made by the higher ups in the Ukrainian military. there have been countless times where it became evident that Ukrainian soldiers are being surrounded and the choices were either to retract them. or keep them in their position without food or ammunition until they get annihilated. And they choice was always to let them be encircled and let them fight to the last one. It's been seen in Avdivka and many other cities

  • Having a tendency to always read sentences in halves. I went straight into clicking the article, I was shocked at how very little remains on the bones of those men at was very disgusted at how Russia is torturing its prisoners.

    I started reading the article from the bottom. and that testimony of the woman who said that since the news went public, her husband wrote wrote to her reassuring her that they have started receiving more food, this confused me cause since when did Ukrainian prisoners in Russia get to write back to their families.

    I went up the article, and that's when I truly was shocked to discover that these men were not uks prisoners in Russia but Ukrainian combatants in the front line who haven't eaten for 17 days. I can't even imagine going for 5 days without food let alone 17 days. and that this is all done to them by their own commanders forcing them to defend slivers of land with zero regard to their condition. contrast that with the hundred of thousands of young Ukrainian men who fled the country because they had the means to bribe to escape. I don't blame those who are doing their best to dodge the draft in such an unfair regime.

  • XMPP is a shitshow of its own, very fragmented architecture. different incomplete implementations. each server can chose which features (extensions) to turn on and which not) so you can't be sure that the person you are trying to talk to on the other server can have access to the same features, like threads or voip.

    I have previously read that omemo 2 implementation is insecure. my previous experience with it 4 years ago made me give up after encrypted messages were getting lost when messaging between different clients

    there is no one flagship app for XMPP that works cross platefrom and has all features implemented. heck I can't even find a windows that support voip. and their will be none. cause xmpp has lost all traction.

    As for Movim, I hate using web apps. bad user experience in general. add to that I don't remember it ever having been audited

  • I understand the concern, and I find it fishy that the matrix team didn't try to address that (maybe they did but I just didn't come across that)

    but on the other hand many governments and ministries like the French MOD have deployed matrix locally for their private use. not sure they want to use a software that the mossad can directly tap into

  • They are boiling the frog, just like whatsapp did in 2021 remember the uproar about whatsapp data sharing with business accounts and stuff, whatsapp played the long game delayed the change, let the anger die and everyone just stayed.

    Reddit took the tough approach in 2023. they didn't budge. people stopped boycotting and went back to reddit shortly after.

    Boycotts don't work

  • Weird how they are good at digging up the past relationship between the matrix team prior donators with the mosad. but failed to mention not even once that matrix's biggest advantage is its federated nature.

    So imagine you have a selfhosted matrix server and you want to invite a friend over for a chat but this friend already has an account at his other friend's server. in Matrix he doesn't have to make an account on every server their interlocutor is in, he just sends his messages, like its done over email, or here on lemmy (fediverse). this is an advantage other software like fluxer of stoat don't have. and I doubt they will able to add it anytime soon, as the work needed is probably huge and would need years of work to make a proper secure e2e federate messaging solution.

  • AI has already torched my creative side project I have spent hundreds of hours on to hopefully one day it replaces my miserable income. now that AI has been able to generate acceptable videos by the public. my revenue went down by 80%. and people are expecting lower prices in times of inflation

    People think there are wins to come, how I see it is that we have already lost the fight.
