I have a soft spot for new planes being shot down by "outdated" technologies.

[translations, copypasted, so you don't have to visit the source on reddit]

translations:

  • "Sorry, your plane is on fire"(rhymes in Serbian)
  • "Mine is visible, but doesn't crash!"
  • "Airplane junkyard: 'We have F-117 parts!'"
  • "The ground suddenly got in his way"
  • "Missed the Surčin airport"
  • "Look, daddy, no hands!"
  • "What's going to happen with the White House? I'm going to set it on fire!"
  • "Give us another one... I need a roof for my pig pen!"

Followed by three more phrases which don't translate well.

  • "Like a child knows what is invisible"
  • "We'll fuck, NATO, my bro!"
  • "Short but 'effective' "

Waterfox try to remove some blobs of Firefox out of the box, so it’s better for the normal user

How is removing blobs better for the normal user?

The write-up they link is also insightful. Notably, they "explicitly reject these accusations" of being Zionists and insist it's a legal precaution required by their countries.

I've bought servers for hosting some small communities and I sometimes thought maybe I was paranoid for retaining anonymity and carefully picking the country and company to allow muh freedoms as far as speech goes, but it's interesting seeing .world and feddit pull out the "just following legislation" card (which is understandable, given that staff imprisonment is obviously bad for their community, but also irresponsible and complicit to simply accept the situation instead of resolving it, and because this is an internet community there are safe ways to resolve it).

Assuming you're using the default Lemmy UI, there's a block settings menu in your account settings page. It's worth exploring, there's some good options to play around with.

Did it show you a specific error/ban message?

Heh, don't let that fool you, they still infight like crazy despite that. Examples include the hilarious collapse of the NJP, the assassination of Rockwell (leader of the American Nazi Party) and labeling every existing neo-Nazi group "feds" because they're inevitably embarrassing and scandal-filled.

The video title is probably "Punchline"

If someone draws a conclusion from the facts

The title is framing the statistics with the implication that bike lanes and car restrictions are the cause.

(Fuck electric cars)

Thanks for posting source, OP!

I skimmed Seej to see why neo-Nazis believed it was a game changer (skimmed, because it becomes very obvious very quickly that it's not worth the paper it was printed on. A food wrapper is more informative)

It doesn't explain much one already doesn't pick up from its followers, there's no real theoretical depth or rationale. It's really just a syncretic mess that quotes revolutionaries from various movements , including anarchist and communist revolutionaries, as inspiration rather than actually understanding them. If anything, it just conclusively confirns how hollow that subculture is. It's a characteristic of syncretic Franken-ideologies, they can have (for lack of the right word) populist appeal but won't accomplish their goals no matter how hard they push. It's like a kid trying to complete an exam by peeking at the other student's essays on each desk around them, copying a few random sentences from each, not understanding that these sentences don't mean much when taken away from their foundation. The few correct points (e.g. some remarks about police) are poorly reasoned and its 'lessons' can't be generalized to synthesize correct ideas in other contexts. It's ultimately glorifying a tactic history proved doesn't work back in the 1900s, and the rallying cry in the conclusion is basically "just do things".

By the way, the author has been charged with taking nude photos of a minor, which they vowed to get back from police, and for threatening an ex-girlfriend (underaged) and her boyfriend with a handgun, along with other charges of minor exploitation.

Mein Kampf is notoriously just not a good text in any way, even when ignoring the abhorrent views. It's an unhinged shapeless rant. It's pretty funny to see the wikipedia page quoting translators comments about how poorly-written the original is. Of course, neo-Nazis insist that any faithful translation is a [communist/Jewish/pick one] trick to make them look bad.
