All of these groups rule. Good taste in music
No probs. I do some torrent projects in my spare time, and torrents are wonderful for what they've done: which is solving the static data distribution problem. But they have limited uses outside that. A social network very much needs mutability, and a message based framework. All the items are not static, scores, votes, users, posts, communities, comments, messages, a feed... all these are changing items.
Torrents are made for static, unchanging data. They would not make a good basis for any communication platform, where mutability is necessary.
Also individual, tiny-torrents don't scale up that well. Its an impressive torrent client that can handle more than a few thousand torrents. That's about a single days worth of lemmy comments.
Reliance on domain names, database performance, storage, and probably a few other things are the main reasons why we can't scale a typical fediverse server (like lemmy or mastodon), and have it run on a smartphone.
I responded yes in the other thread.
US does US things.
Inevitable commenter: This is just like in China!
Nice, I'm gonna subscribe to her channel. I've had to think about UX design since I've been making a lot of android apps recently, so this could help a lot.
Neat video, you should make that a post to !technology@lemmy.ml if you haven't already.
Basketball is canceled
They aren't:
- What about social democracy / democratic socialism / the Nordic model? Isn't Sweden socialist?
- On the unraveling of the Nordic welfare states: increasing inequality and forced austerity.
- Scandinavia's covert role in western imperialism
- Why can't you acheive socialism through voting in our current democracies?
I'd be fine with that. Best way would just be to report posts that do, so we can ask their creators to use the xcancel links, and remove them if they don't.
I've used ranger, but I'm not as big a fan of it as broot.
The US is currently in a trade war with China, and Britain is still salty about their loss of their hong kong in 1997. So it's best to get a source from a neutral country, rather than one of their current enemies.
For example, let's look at what the middle east (a region the US and Britain have also looted, colonized, and bombed for decades) has to say:
- A majority of Muslim countries support China's policies in XinJiang, and don't believe the western lies told about it.. 54 Countries in total. 2, 3, 4 Supporters: Algeria, Angola, Bahrain, Belarus, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, Congo, Cuba, DR Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Gabon, Kuwait, Laos, Nigeria, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Togo, Turkmenistan, UAE, Venezuela, Zimbabwe.
- Egyptian media delegates provide a detailed insight of the situation in Xinjiang
- A Pakistani Diplomat given full access to “re-education camps” and this is what she found.
- Despite claims of "erasing Uyghur culture", they stated: "I did not find any instance of forced labor or cultural and religious repression. The imams we met at the mosques and the students and teachers at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute told us that they enjoy freedom in practicing Islam and that the Chinese government extends support for maintenance of mosques all over Xinjiang. [...]The most visible sign of protection of Uyghur culture by the government is the government-run bilingual kindergarten schools where children learn Putonghua as well as Uyghur language and culture from a very young age."
Thx, I'm gonna download and listen to that.
Quora is not a source, it's a platform with people, like this one. All the person there is doing is correcting all the NYT mistranslations.
Ah my bad, this thread got me on edge.
Ask Snowden, Assange, or Manning what happens to ppl who expose US war crimes.
Also the US has a ton of political prisoners: https://mronline.org/2022/08/11/the-united-states-has-many-political-prisoners-heres-a-list/
Those were also debunked like 2 years ago.
It's so exhausting when you white supremacists don't have to back up any racist thing you say, yet we do.
You don't want to read those obviously, so I'll try to simplify it for you:
An anti-semitic german evangelical that works for the US government, who doesn’t speak a word of mandarin and has never visited china, claims that China is committing genocide on an entire region that literally anyone can travel to. His evidence is a few pictures of buildings.
Westerners feel in their gut, that every other country must be guilty of the same colonialism their countries have been carrying out for hundreds of years, and can't fathom a country not doing this. So to maintain their sense of self-worth and value, they push the same western-supremacy/chauvinism as their own country's colonial projects.
The US (as the leader and main inheritor of the colonial tradition) doesn't allow peer competitors, and as the socialist model in China is proving superior to the capitalist one, westerners must either 1) deny reality, plug their ears, isolate themselves from the successes of socialism, believe every single thing their media says about China, and turn further inwards into western/white supremacists, or 2) try to look past the lies their media tells them, and accept that maybe other countries don't need to get rich using the colonialist model.
President Biden gives speech this morning condemning pro-Palestinian college protesters as anti-semitic and violent.
