82·1 day agoStandard of living has been steadily improving in China since the revolution, and it has managed to develop in an overwhelmingly peaceful fashion. China has achieved astounding feats of engineering with projects like cross country high speed rail, and it’s currently leading the clean energy revolution globally.
I guess I’m still within the limit for now, that’s the main thing I want to keep an eye on for a few weeks to see that my data usage is stable. Seems like setting a hard limit on media retention is key. I don’t really want to have to do admin work maintaining my own instance, hence why I’d rather just pay a few bucks a month for somebody else to do it.
Yeah that makes sense, in my case I was a already following a lot of accounts and had a lot of followers, so discoverability wasn’t an issue. I can see how it’s a problem if you’re making a new account though. In that case, it’s better to just join a bigger instance so you can find content.

Absolutely, unless we detect gravitons experimentally, this is all very speculative. However, it’s definitely elegant to have a model where the behaviors are a product of a handful of simple rules. It’s also worth noting that if the model is in line with existing experimental data, then it’s no worse than the standard model in practical terms.
a lot can go wrong there to be sure
Plenty, lobbyists, health insurance industry, and advertisers would be a few off top of my head.
Ah gotcha, you could just omit but in this case and the sentence would have the intended meaning.
Why the but? GPL 3 is the correct license to use for open source projects to ensure they stay open and corps don’t freeload on them.
I really enjoyed both shows as well. You might enjoy Silo which is a pretty solid recent sci-fi show I can recommend. Andor is also excellent, it’s hands down my favorite thing from the Star Wars universe. Farscape is also absolutely fantastic. It starts out a bit slow, but it’s absolutely amazing once it gets going. Also enjoyed Love Death and Robots, they took a bunch of short sci-fi stories and make episodes out of each. Firefly is another excellent show.
How are you going to use in the US without access to US based apps that everybody else uses. The reason Huawei ended up having to make HarmonyOS was that it got cut off from using Android and Google store. A phone is a communication device first and foremost. That means you need to be able to plug into the existing ecosystem to use it meaningfully. The US made sure that even if you could get your hands on one, it’ll just be a nice paperweight.
For sure the ramifications of these are huge, and there’s a global treaty against doing these things for a reason. I do think that beyond initial panic, the long term ramifications will be that countries will increasingly focus on building domestic supply chains. We’re also seeing geopolitical blocs forming now around G7 and BRICS. This is another line of decoupling of the global economy. Countries within each bloc will have more trust in each other, while they will shun products from the outside.
love how you had to make an account on a different instance to avoid the ban just so you can let us all know how much you’re seething
Indeed, it’s clear that this is a pretty widespread problem. It’s also important to note that there is a global treaty came into force which “prohibited in all circumstances to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects that are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material”. So it’s clear that what the west has been doing goes directly against international law.
Absolutely hilarious how westies freak out when people talk about them the way they talk about other countries. Happy seething and coping to you.
companies do this to people working remotely as well
I’m sure people in the west will be concerned as well, but not like they get a choice seeing how western regimes already ban non western tech. For example, good luck buying a Huawei phone in US or Canada.
