This is impressive considering Xiaomi is originally an electronics manufacturer.

From my understanding they have a very strong brand in China while still being subject to intense price competition (in contrast to say Apple that has an extremely valuable brand, but is not affected by price pressures on a relative basis).

I did not know rockbox was still around.

I remember writing a review of running Rockbox on my HDD based iRiver MP3 player for a tech site when I was a teen.

It was a great system for its time.

Welcome!

The rules are largely common sense.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have, we are a friendly bunch. :)

EDIT: This was for OP. :)

A novel approach indeed.

The article mentions something called Windows Fibers; first time I heard about this. They go to explain what it is:

Windows fibers: The malware leverages Windows fibers, an obscure mechanism for implementing user-mode multitasking, to evade detection, as some EDRs may not monitor or track them.

The powerbank comes with some minor smartphone functionality as a bonus.

I completely agree. I don't mean to imply it is a competition. As I said, being better than russia is not much of an achievement.

But I do think the correct term for the US as it is today is proto-fascist. It's also important to not ignore the transition into full scale fascism.

It pains me to see the US go down this path. I am well aware of how bad things are going in the US (I have close friends who live there). I agree with you regarding nationalism, street arrests by security, demonization of minorities and so on.

However, I am comparing my experience living in russia (as an expat who happens to speak russian fluently), my experience living in the US under Obama and US as it is today.

US still has competitive elections. The US centre right opposition is not a formal front for the regime. Compare that to russia were elections are a formality and the so called "opposition parties" get direct orders from the regime and exist as circus performers. US isn't at that stage yet.

Same with the US judicial system. It is definitely corrupt (and this was true even before Trump) and it is getting even more corrupt. However, the US judicial system has some level of independence and at least on some level you can have your rights be respected. Again, compare that to russia were the judicial system as such does not exist and has no authority whatsoever.

Security services in the US are increasingly becoming unhinged and acting more like crooks, but it's no where close to russia where they have zero liability beyond not respecting key regime interests.

US still has a measure of political de-centralization. You can elect mayors and governors and they have a measure of independence. While russian does have some regional independent power centres, they are still all aligned with the regime and its ideology.

I know, comparing your local political system to russia isn't really a sane approach. But I do think it is important to note that the differences do exist.

I will speculate this is going to happen anyway, sooner or later.

While I am not American, I have lived in the the US and have many close friends there. From my understanding, American oligarchs have gone full in on a proto-fascist state (US is not yet fascist in the formal definition of the term, things can and likely will get worse). This includes Hoffman and not only.

This would actually be a great outcome.

While most people would likely move to Digg v2.0 (I am just being realistic), this will help fuel growth in the threadiverse. And at any rate, the major instances would simply not be able to handle 1 million MAUs immediately moving to Lemmy.

This is because you are on a small instance.

What's the other server you thought had a stupid name? 😄

The real irony is that TV is largely dying and the whole notion of "hacking a broadcast" is almost quaint.
