ActivityPub does have https://joinpeertube.org for what it's worth. What would ATProto bring in specifically? Is it the ease of migration?

That's arguing technicalities, and missing the larger point. Whatever "changes" happen within the US (or the UK) system do not fundamentally uproot the civil servants or the permanent bureaucracy in the West, thus the insinua

Then why have they blocked Germans participating? [1]. Because: "police banned the final two days of the event, citing concern about the potential for hate speech" The potential ? Sounds very Putin-esque if you ask me. 1 - https

The American government is the longest continually existing "regime" in the world. Unlike it, other governments do not conduct (serious) attempts to overthrow it and so it has the most secure institutions. Therefore it can afford

> Yes, people disagree. Vehemently. And in public Do you think when people as powerful as the U.S. President and all the cable networks smear protesters, do you think the protesters have an equal platform/power to dispute this and t

You must also have missed the constant smearing of protesters as anti Semitic by American public officials, as well as mainstream media alike. Because I can assure you that coverage of pro-Ukrainian protests as unpatriotic happens in Russia

Does every American citizen implicitly endorse what the Biden admin supports right now in Palestine?

Because they're compelled to do so by EU law, they don't want to do this and no one else forces them to.

> Regulations are why Microsoft is banning users who call Gaza. That sounds an awful lot like simply being a Palestinian is being criminalized.

What that has to do with the OS vendor adding programs there that the users did not?

If I am reading the post you're replying to correctly they're saying that maybe it's not that they launched with a good value prop with a plan to screw you later, but rather that because the initial launch went so well and ev

It's questionable that the Western dominated UN of 1948 had any authority to make such a proposal and that it was fair in terms of how the territory was to be divided. > Why was Palestine not a state before 1967 with Gaza and West b

Oh please, this BS no longer works. "Yitzhak Rabin presented the Oslo II Interim Agreement to the Knesset on October 5, 1995, in his final speech to the legislative body. As he spoke, he boldly laid out what he believed to be the futur

Why is your definition of democratic the valid one? Mine is, a country is only a real democracy if ALL people it rules over have the same set of rights. Israel isn't a democracy and so isn't the DRC, despite the fact that it has d

Not OP, but I am for either giving the Palestinians the same rights as Israelis in a 1 state solution or a an independent Palestinian state but since Israel doesn't seem interested in that it's a cheap talking point because Israel

It's easy to have your existing biases validated if you already dislike systemd. The reality is that systemd is much more coherently designed than its predecessors from a 'end user interface' point of view, hence why its unit

Yeah, I just think that after Snowden (but before him as well) it's naive to think that we in the West are free from being spied on. The methods are more refined, I'll say that.

Most westerners I've spoken to think that even when a Western government does bad, there's probably good intentions behind it or at least more noble than any non-Western government. On the flip side, even if you believe that, ther

"systems" can mean "distributed systems", "network systems" etc. both of which Go is suitable for. It's obviously not a great choice for "operating systems" which is well known.
