There is also KeyOxide with solves part of it via cryptographic verification and I believe some fediverse platforms already support it: https://codeberg.org/keyoxide

Is much nicer 👍

To me it lately sounds like Canadians do need to worry a bit about “freedom” being brought to them.

Fine, keep ignoring obvious facts and lie to yourself that China isn’t full on capitalist these days. The cognitive dissonance must be painful 🤦

Lol, you literally have no idea what you are talking about (including non-propagandized 20th century Chinese history). And that you continue to claim that China post 1970ties is communist (or even just socialist) is hilarious. Maybe try looking up the number of Chinese billionaires as a start 🤦

Lol, what an absurd interpretation of the data, and accusing me of moving goal posts when all I did was pointing out that the data doesn’t fit to your warped story.

And 1965 to 1970 was the hight of the cultural revolution, meaning the communist party was mostly engulfed in an internal power struggle, which left the people in China mostly to their own devices (and not actively damaged by earlier disasterous policies by Mao, like the great leap forward), and in 1970 to 1975 the reformist around Deng already started getting the upper hand in actual implementation and the result is the state-capitalist country we know today (“communism”, lol 🤦).

And I explicitly stated that I do not defend the military dictatorship in SK. I only pointed out that your beloved Maoists in China somehow did significantly worse than them until China started adopting similar policies in the 1970ties. Literally doing nothing would have been the better strategy for the Chinese government, as the 1965 to 1970 data clearly shows.

P.S.: The Phillipines seem to also have somewhat outperformed China on that metric in the 1950ties (at least they didn’t do worse), but were later held back by the Marcos regime: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072232/life-expectancy-philippines-historical/

P.P.S.: Indonesia also doesn’t show a Mao induced delay in the raise of life expectancy: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072197/life-expectancy-indonesia-historical/

The data in your graph is too coarse to show the war dip, but other similar graphs your ML friends always cite, conveniently start right in the middle of the war period.

But regardless of that, your graph clearly shows that the before and after war life expectency was about the same, then there was a significantly delayed improvement during Mao’s reign of terror, and when he was sidelined due to illness in the 1970ties and capitalist policies adopted, China finally caught up to its peer counties.

Just compare your graph with the development in South Korea: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1088199/life-expectancy-south-korea-historical/

And you can clearly see that Mao delayed the improvements seen during that time all over the world. And no, I am not claiming SK was a great country during that time, yet somehow despite having a brutal military dictatorship they still outperformed China under Mao on this metric, which shows just how bad Mao did.

Lol, can you even read that graph? MLs constantly disproving themselves with their own sources 🙄

And I am not a “lib”, but an Anarchist 😅

Edit: and compare your above graph with this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1088199/life-expectancy-south-korea-historical/ and then think about during which years Mao had the most influence on policy decisions in China…

Lol, that is fake news. Life expectancy dropped during the war period as expected, but it was about as high before the war as it was after. The methods Mao employed rather delayed the recovery.

I had the same discussion with one of your fellow MLs before, and this is just completely silly cherry-picking of data to make the disasterous policies of Mao look somehow less bad 🤡

me checks timeline and notices that this poverty allevation didn’t start until long after Mao’s death and only after China switched to a capitalist mode of production…

Sounds quite good, but just use regular Debian, ubuntu isn’t any better and annoying with their Snap BS.

I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?

You can set up a Wireguard VPN.

Arn’t there several addons for that?

Says the person who felt a childish need to write such a comment 🤷

Well, if you have read it then your cherry picking of minor ways Bluesky is slighly less closed comes accross as pretty bad faith 🤷

Hmm, did Pocketbase add AP support, or how is this implemented behind the scenes?

Please PM me about it.

If I remember correctly this was a scam anyways as it needed a lot of natural gas to pre-heat the central tower in the morning or so. So on less sunny days it was net-negative energy wise. But I might remember wrong.

This is an interesting theory, but I think it is wrong that it assumes that there is some sort of evenly distributed universal qbit substrate.

The vital question is IMHO how can this theory fit in time dilation (= gravity lensing? ), which is an obversable fact near gravity wells or at high speeds.

I find it more likely that it will turn out that even time is somehow a function of this extended concept of entropy. Like as if mass, movement (~heat) and time are three facets of the same entropic force that has an upper limit that we currently only know for movement, i.e. the speed of light.

So something moving at the speed of light must have no mass and time stands practically still for it (as the case for photons), and the more mass something has the more time slows down around it (which can be observed) and gravity is the result of entropic movement being restricted.

Under such a theory, the observable effect of mass, i.e. gravity, is basically atoms being restricted in movement and thus over time sticking together similar to particles moving around in a liquid by diffusion but some part of it is more viscous and that over time accumulates all the particles due to the sticky effect.

A star would be then a place where mass and heat/movement is high, but time is slow, and a back hole would be an extreme case that is almost entirely mass, with no movement or time possible (hence nothing can escape from it).

I think you should find a smaller, well moderated instance and show it to your parents first. If they consent with her signing up to it, it should be fine and generally speaking there is no practical way for instances to check the age of their members anyways.

It’s not any worse than the differen’t feature support levels of different Matrix clients. But especially on Android, XMPP has nice modern clients with all the features you would expect, including a/v calls and reactions/stickers.

The main issue right now are up to date Windows desktop clients, but on Linux desktop there are some good options.
