It’s possible that Bing is just more advanced than Chinese competitors and therefore more effective at censorship.

To be honest, I don’t fault the developer too much for selling out. Offers tend to be very generous and potentially life changing. There was no indication that the acquisition was for malicious means despite being highly suspicious. I’ve be

Yes. I try to register on Hetzner every few months and have not been able to get an account (well, even if I did, it gets deactivated within a day or so without me even hosting anything yet). According to some forums, you need to contact su

It’s the same in Malaysia. Indoor spaces are freezing to the point I wear fall/winter clothing if I know I’ll be in a mall or airport.

By your standards, most of the world outside the US does not innovate, which makes sense since if they did, the tech would be bought up by a US company anyways

1GB is enough for most things and it has been running smoothly since I turned off federation. You’d be surprised how much you can do with 512 MB of RAM. 1 GB is pretty generous

That is not what they mean by “magic”. The “magic” in xz is the complexity in the build system. Here, the “magic” are seemingly arbitrary numbers that improve performance. The reason they’re magic is because we don’t know why they were chos

I think federation is currently the biggest tax on performance. Joining even medium sized groups with only a hundred users takes a few minutes and eats up a ton of resources on the server. It got so bad that I had to turn federation off com

That’s the opposite of my experience. I’ve gotten most of my (very non-technical) family to use matrix through my home server. It’s a simple sign up and tell me your username type of thing and that’s it. One major advantage is that it works

The US literally has troops 6 miles off the coast of China and they haven’t reacted beyond some complaining in press releases. China won’t be fighting either the US or Taiwan anytime soon

That’s probably not it. I still have Twitter because the people I follow are on there (mostly music artists). I’ve never opened the algorithmic feed. There is also a huge chance that much of the activity you see are bots. I have 0 posts and

Might be a dumb question but I’ll ask anyways. One of the main factors preventing me from owning a bike is the lack of a permanent residence. I’m forced to move every few months/years, sometimes to a different country. What’s the best

I find it concerning that we’re automatically blaming everything on Russia and China with the bare minimum evidence. It greatly reduces scrutiny since it’s assumed we can’t do anything about it. It’s very possible that domestic actors are s
