I am aware of that. The thing with Kyiv Independent in particular (this is the most frequently posted "Ukrainian news") is that the Ukrainian government is not directly in control of what they write, unlike with RT. The problem with RT is that they publish fake news regularly while Kyiv Independent mostly just chooses to publish the news that show Ukraine in a good light but their articles stay factually correct. Examples of failed RT fact checks regarding the current conflict:

To be clear, I do not support publishing the news from news agencies based in any of the countries involved in the conflicts (not just this one, same goes for Al Jazeera reporting on conflicts in the Arab world), but there is a difference between RT and the other media outlets. Both aren't reliable but RT is just at another level when it comes to "unreliable"

Meshtastic, which is basically a decentralized internet, does not solve the issue of big tech scraping our data and using it for AI training. Lemmy is a good example - it’s decentralized nature makes it a great source for data harvesting for AI models training with easy access while Reddit does try to limit the scraping possibilities (although obviously the motivation is not them saving the world but them trying to profit)

It’s a low-cost airline, so the legroom is small and the seats aren’t the best. The customer service is unhelpful too (you get what you pay for), and you are only allowed to take one, small backpack on you: you pay extra for the larger carry-on and for the checked luggage. They also charge for meals, and seat selection - basically anything once can charge for, therefore their image isn’t the greatest. But if you fly without luggage, you can catch some good deals with them
