Wow. Just wow. I sure hope they get something more out of that, because 1200 dollars for fucking up who knows how many shitty chinese android boxes is worse than doing it for free. From a related article from TF:

Bug bounties and hackathons are notorious for being the coding equivalent of working for exposure. These are inherently cost savings programs so that companies don't feel like they need to purchase these assets at market price.

For all the complaints of "antisemitism" of the past several years, it's amazing how Snyder has been able to walk the double genocide tightrope and still be "in good standing".

My favorite question to ask people is, in which Soviet Republic did the ethnic majority become an ethnic minority as a result of the famine(s) of 1930-1933?

Everyone says Ukraine because they're dummies. It's Kazakhstan, and yet you don't see Westoids clammoring to woke genocide narratives on behalf of Kazakhs. Only Anne Applebaum does in deep psychotic NYT op-ed lore as she has to devise a good explanation of why her ideology is not the exact carbon copy of Putin's ideology with some labels moved around.

Even within Soviet Republics, it's super not clear cut what would constitute a genocide here. You have racism against different nationalities. Plenty of Ukrainians when I was growing up called Kazakhs, aziaty or churki and still do. The USSR itself was very anti-peasantry and anti pastoral/nomadic lifestyle.

If we consider the big evil Russian dictator theory both Stalin and Lenin are on record as saying Russian ethnic tendencies are actually the worst. In the history of evil Soviet dictators there are only 3 Russians: Lenin, Andropov and Gorbachev.

Lastly a lot of these fights typically rely on first mover advantage that's found in all pro-Western chauvinism. "We got to do it because we did it before the magical date when it's considered wrongbad." is literally the excuse used by the West for everything they want to condemn from genocide, to energy use, to national development. Even if there was an active evil Soviet plot to sedentarize the Kazahs and remove them from their traditional way of life, there is not a developed nation on earth that practically supports nomadic lifestyles.

It's honestly not a simple question, and in practice a question that people ask solely for political points. If we call/don't call these famines genocide won't actually get us to stop genocides and famines that are currently happening. It's just propaganda.

idk maybe do another civil rights movement.

Will get right on that chief.

I think it's very funny that a lot of people will post "omg communism boogeyman? is this legal????", but they won't do a very basic introspection of ideology and online community moderation which is at the core the entire intent here.

Almost every lemmy instance has the same rule 1, those rules textually are often the same, those rules are often have the same meanings, but those rules are unevenly enforced between instances based on the ideology of that instance. That's why you can be a transphobe on .world without actually getting the same amount of mod action going your way as if you were a transphobe on hexbear/lemmy.ml/lemmygrad/blahaj.

Furthermore there's sociopolitical drama between the instances like between blahaj and hexbear on what transphobia actually is and what level of irony is allowed.

A lot of people interpret rule 1 as "don't be mean" rather than "be mean in ways that aren't racist/bigoted/sexist/transphobic/etc". Which is why they often complain that certain communities they can't post certain words, but user can dog pile them with community approved shitposting.

And then there's the lib instances who think that being mean to the Ukrainian war effort online is rule 1 and if not it's rule no disinformatsiya.

It's like when Twitter had to clarify, you cannot call for violence unless it's a call for violence that is part of the United States of America's foreign policy, because Trump as POTUS called for violence over Twitter as part of US FP. But we gotta always put the the damn commies under the microscope for making us copypasta Marxist thought.

Freakin epic bacon sauce.

Honestly the "old web" was also a hellscape for accessibility.

There's been a lot more advances for accessibility in the last 5 years because of ADA lawsuits being successful against large companies with websites, so it's seen as a liability.

In my personal experience in general this has been a big impetus for companies to start take WCAG seriously. However in practice a lot of this is box checking because it's expensive and complicated.

A lot of our newer contracts have had explicit terms for various levels of accessibility, but this has lead to a problem in the sense that accessibility is something that is designed, and in practice the company has a very hard time changing it's SDLC in most teams. So in effect the expectation from higher ups is that it's a magic wand, these kinds of top down initiatives fail because they're often just having people internally rewrite a11y tutorials or act as consultants to projects they know don't have the resources to actually become accessible.

Average age of Ukranian Army 42.

Average age of the 1st Galician Grenadier Grandpa Battalion: 55.

Zelenskyy trying so hard not to draft anyone under 25 so that the war support doesn't crater and he doesn't cause a demographic crisis for Ukraine's labor mix.

Russia's "Peace Plan" is to actually take over Ukraine, and then the Baltics, and then Poland, and then Germany and the rest of the Central Europe, and then France and the UK, and rest of Western Europe, and then they'll take over the Atlantic Ocean and Iceland and Greenland, and then they'll come and take over the United States, state by state starting from the East Coast going to the West Coast, and then Hawaii, and then Japan, and then they'll autocoup themselves oblast by oblast starting with Vladivostok where they'll be dug in for months trying to make roads that connect to the rest of Russia but then they'll keep marching West and when they finally loop all the way back around to Lviv the whole West will be defeated and we'll all be speaking Russian and saying Hail Putler and the brave Galician racists will be rolling in their graves saying I told you so.

And that's why at least 4 generations of Ukrainian men need to be eradicated for American interests in Eastern Europe.

Yeah every Western analyst has been saying: You're stupid and propagandized to think that the meat grinder war can be won by the country with the most meat.

Doubt he's "from" Odesa. The country side around Odesa spawns Ukrainian Nationalists like crazy.

The language wars have been the funniest shit to me since I was a kid in Odesa. Especially with what happened now, half the country goes on Duo Lingo overnight. Having grown up with this stupid shit, it was really funny to immigrate to the US and learn about like the slave trade and Jim Crow, and be like "damn Ukrainians really do love to complain".

Which is heavily ironic because my dad immediately went the other way and just became mildly racist about how "black people be demanding things". Shit's hilarious because it was always like "in 1876 we were forced to cut out our tongues with the Ems decree, and we couldn't celebrate the Taras Sevchenko centennial, and the evil Soviets made Russian the academic lingua franca". But the people who literally couldn't vote until 1964 and couldn't live in certain neighborhoods (even to this day) are entitled.

It's such a silly fucking position because of it's wishy washy historicity once you start to "collect evidence" and ultimately it's like if all complaints of oppression in America by black people were summed up with "they wouldn't let us talk jive".

It's also really funny because if Ukraine fulfills it's wildest EU/NATO/US FREEDOM dreams, in 10 years there will be less Russian and Ukranian than there is now. It will be like Iceland or Ireland where it's fully colonized by capitalist English due to the economic realities, and there will be a large language divide between the younger and older generations in the country. Ukrainians only cling tightly to their traditions for their traditional enemies. They'll gleefully shed all that for Westernization because it's "the way of the world". Sure they'll be the classic holdouts of Galicia, but practically the country will erase its own language and culture much like Iceland and other countries suffering from success under neocolonialism.

This is hilariously silly from a developer perspective because Safari exists. Safari is literally the bane of my existence in WebDev because it's usually the browser that does something weird and not according to standards (which is classically the IE problem). Apple WebKit has significantly deviated from KHTML/Blink in ways that are worse for developers. Chrome does inject defaults to standard interfaces to make websites "work better" where Firefox is much more strict about the standard.

To pretend that Chromium/Blink/V8 is worse than Firefox or any other competitor is just burying your head in the sand. Blink and V8 are extremely highly optimized and standards driven, there's a reason Node didn't choose SpiderMonkey. Dev Tools have significant difference in speed and usability, and I'm a Firefox daily driver and use it for development.

What Google is doing that's ridiculous and stupid is using it's weight to influence the design of Chromium such as the deprecation and removal of Manifest V2 to prevent adblockers under the guise of "safety" or whatever, as well as driving more telemetry and anti-features into the Chromium core product.

Also of course "MagicLasso" doesn't say Safari is the IE because it's a adblocker for Safari. lol
