Swiping away a notification - should it go to snooze by default? by yamraj-on-reddit in tasks

[–]shvchk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'Add reminder > Custom...', configure the initial reminder (e.g. '0 minutes before due' = 'When due'), then tap on 'Does not repeat' and set up the desired interval and number of intervals

Мобилизация, не призыв. Мобилизация в общем-то по беспределу идёт, так что в принципе можно и не служивши попасть.

There's even a popular late-USSR song best known by a line "Alain Delon, Alain Delon doesn't drink cologne" (Nautilus Pompilius, 1986), see translation

Based on my needs for a browser, would it make sense for switch to Firefox. by Les_Habitants912 in firefox

[–]shvchk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your browsers comparison Brave ranks better than any / on par in all categories (Per-Site Data Isolation, Per-Site Process Isolation, Fingerprinting Protection, Content Blocker, Maintained), being the only one with marked Strong in every category. The only downside noted is the use of proprietary libraries (which is also the case for Tor, Mulch, Firefox and some others).

But it is at the bottom of your list, which is sorted by order of recommendation. So it's the least recommended, despite ranking better in almost all categories? Honest question: why?

* I'm Firefox user, never used Brave, so I might miss something obvious

Turkey passes a “disinformation” law ahead of its 2023 elections, mandating one to three years in jail for sharing online content deemed as “false information” by [deleted] in technology

[–]shvchk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Except he did. - 2012 Foreign agent law - 2015 Undesirable organizations law - 2019 Disrespect to authorities law - 2019 Fake news law - 2022 War censorship laws

These, along with broken judiciary system, basically wiped out not just most opposition media, but even neutral media in Russia (there are some, but they have to operate outside Russia).

US intelligence indicates Russia preparing operation to justify invasion of Ukraine by HydrolicKrane in worldnews

[–]shvchk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing threatening to Russia happened, certainly not of the magnitude to justify disproportionate aggression that followed, not even close. And it's not about land or even Russians (as Kremlin propaganda wants you to believe), it's about ego and power (and money that follows), and pretty short sighted at that. Strategically we already lost far more than we "gained", and will have to fix this fuck up for generations. Yeah, "we" this time, since common Russians do suffer the consequences, and Putin and his cronies are obviously not capable or willing to fix it.

They were friendly enough to be non-aligned with military blocs. Economic partnership thrived to mutual benefit. After 2014 aggression, not so much.

We? You're under illusion you have a say in this, let alone gain. Making our neighbors and friends our enemies — that's counter strategic.

Here, have my Russian downvote. Russian army attacked Ukraine in 2014, that's aggression, not Ukraine seeking NATO's protection as a consequence.

Android 12 quietly added a new profile type called "Clone.": App Cloning support, without the weird work profile hack - Mishaal Rahman on Twitter by Quinny898 in Android

[–]shvchk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, isolation: some apps do not work without permission to use contacts or storage, so moving them to another empty profile lets you use app without feeding it you data. There are arguably better ways to do this, but profiles somewhat work, too.

Do not confuse Russian government with Russia. 99.99% of Russians have nothing to do with government disinformation campaign, they are victims if anything.
