Just to clarify, since Yezhov (listed above in the post you’re replying to) was the main architect of the Yezhovshchina, and was himself later a victim of the same Great Purge, did he do some hard self-reflecting and turn himself in?

I think you mean it was released in September 2023?

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

Kind of. His target was James VI/I, who seeded the Troubles in Ireland, burned Catholics at the stake, dissolved parliament, and more.

Fawkes was Christian and was a terrorist by conventional measures, and the Catholic monarchs prior were also brutal, but we should be careful not to apotheosise James.

I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.

He said he was a doctor, but i don’t know what kind of doctor smokes over a corpse.

Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

Psst… O, not O’ - it’s the vocative particle, not a contraction of of or on.

The Start menu is C++/XAML, but the “recommended” section uses React Native for Windows. That still means a performance hit, but it’s got nothing to do with Electron.

Yeah, but it’s OpEx, so it’s just imaginary expenditure.

Literally never heard of it. Are you talking about Microsoft 365 Copilot, formerly known as Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365?

Use whatever software you want, more power to you, but I’m not totally convinced that “chaired by a fascist transphobic multibillionaire oligarch who actively subverts democracy at every opportunity” and “introduced a feature I don’t want to use into my free secure messaging app” are even close to equivocal?

OnlyOffice is Russian-owned, via a holding company in Singapore. When Russia invaded Ukraine and sanctions threatened the business, they obfuscated this, but it’s still Lev Bannov’s product.

The importance you attach to this is up to you, but they try quite hard to hide it.

There’s an optional “tabbed interface” in View > User Interface that’s a lot like the Office ribbon. Like the Office ribbon, it has context-sensitive additional tabs, and you can enable a compact version that shows less but takes up less vertical space.

I’ve not had a need for LibreOffice for a while, but it certainly looks a lot less cluttered than the default old-school toolbars.
