How so? I heard their protocol was better than Activity Pub, but I don’t really know the details or what the difference is.

I love it!

Arrest you for protesting a genocide or trying to get an abortion? No, sorry, that’s something people in the US have to worry about when their government has their data, not China.

Considering our data is being bought and sold by US companies to whoever I don’t think this is going to help with that. Tbh, I’m more scared of the US having our data than China. The US can use it to find people seeking abortions, or to track protestors trying to get human rights, or things like that. Not China. I’d rather they make a general law to preserve privacy, but this half-assed measure to preserve US monopolies.

The revealed their code to a US company already: Oracle.

They just don’t like that the youth use it to see what’s happening in other parts of the world, like Palestine. They want to be able to keep the US populace within their propaganda bubble, in the state we were in when we didn’t know about things like the Irgun or The Great March of Return.

You have to imagine other people have no idea about Marxism but what they’ve heard from US propaganda. When they hear you support China, Cuba, and Vietnam, they just hear you supporting dictator for life Xi Jinping and one party state Cuba and Vietnam. You guys need better answers than this.

The other person’s answer was pretty good, though.

Makes sense. I was considering getting a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch for kinda that same reason.

Been playing PC or PS5 games instead? Or just haven’t been gaming much?

I wonder why water indicates nerves and coffee indicates confidence. It totally makes sense to me but I have no idea why.

There’s apparently a answer to this I’ve been told by physicists, but I’ve never quite understood it lol.

Ooh will the link be broken half the time for extra Stack Overflow experience?

I didn’t know there are community challenges. What a cute idea. Can’t wait to do some voting! Is there a megathread anywhere where I can look at past community challenges?

That’s the one thing, I really want more niche communities. Not sure if we just need more people or community discovery needs to be easier. I’d like to see more with the league of legends community and Meet Your Maker community, and I’m sure other people have niche video games or other small hobby communities they’d like to see take off more.

For 1) That’s funny because other people have said that about lemmy.world. Lemmy.world and sh.itjustwor.ks were defederated from Beehaw during the Reddit exodus for that very reason.

It definitely isn’t enough to feed the constant content addiction I had with Reddit, but I’ve found that kind of a good thing lol. I’ve started reading books and comics on my phone, getting out of bed faster, working on other projects, etc. It’s like using a less toxic version to wean off, like using vapes or patches to get off cigarettes.

I remember hearing about that one as I was leaving Reddit. I was between that and Tildes, but ended up settling on Lemmy and Kbin. Glad to hear they’re still surviving.

I wish I could do that. It sounds so risky, though lol. But all the power to you. That’s amazing.

I remember watching Her right after going through a big break up. That one really hit hard. Great movie, though.

It’s a lot of work to admin an instance, though. I can understand if random people don’t want to do it. I hope one day someone does, because a California or Socal instance was the first one I looked for, too.

Oh hell ya. I won’t have to Google to find the specific ffmpeg command I need anymore with this?
