“Our future is being shaped by a struggle, a struggle between the global majority in favor of a fairer distribution of global benefits and civilized diversity and between the few who wield neocolonial methods of subjugation in order to maintain their domination which is slipping through their hands,” he said.

I mean, he's not factually wrong, just framing it in reverse. Russia is indeed trying to colonize Ukraine to maintain their dominion which is slipping through their hands. It's just not using neocolonial methods but good old armed conquest.

And the people in favor of a fairer distribution of global benefits aren't the people he's thinking of. I mean it's also clearly not the US, but "taking what Ukraine has and giving it to Russian Oligarchs" is also not a fairer distribution.

Should a profit-driven company do it?

HELL NO!

Should it be researched so one day it can be done cheaply, safely, healthily, with absolute control given to the person receiving the hardware?

HELL YES!

Thank you!! This addresses so much of the misgivings I have with most "safe" and "acceptable" storytelling and finally I have the words to express it.

The mechanical design was patented by apple, THEY decided that others were not allowed to use it (unless they pay).

It is expected that the industry will continue the work already carried out on the standardised interface under the auspices of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) with a view to developing new interoperable, open and uncontroversial solutions.

Kinda how the web industry comes together in the W3C to set standards for the web, so websites work the same on all devices and browsers and there's been LOTS of improvements.

• a deep shade of blue - Dickschädel Blues (Thickheaded blues)
• the phone rings - da vorne links (ahead on the left)
• hope of deliverance - Hau auf die Leberwurst (smack the liver-sausage)
• all my feelings grow - Oma fiel ins Klo (grandma fell into the toilet)
• Zombie - Zahnweh (Tooth-ache)
• the word is out - du blöde sau (you stupid pig)
• Dirty Diana - da geht der Gärtner (there walks the gardener)

I've been successfully reporting troll-accounts and got them banned, I've blocked entire communities (mostly some niche-nsfw communities, so they don't turn up in my local feed on my lemmynsfw.com-account). And I've found most community-moderators reeeeeeaaaaally don't like fascists on their turf and if you see something and report something, most will get the boot.

This meme presents a false choice, defederation is not the only sane reason to choose (because understanding and/or engaging nazis is decidedly not sane).

Once an entire instance is gone though... defederate like there's no tomorrow.
