Do you have any kind of evidence of this supposed genocide? Anything aside from unsubstantiated claims from the same sources that are currently denying the blatant genocide of Palestinians?

“z” is typically “zed” in Bri’ish English

what about it?

this thing?

it’s jarring at first but you get used to the weird proportions eventually

article link, it’s a good short read

I’m not sure the people of Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Tibet would necessarily agree with that portrayal of China.

If you’re not sure, then look into the history of those three regions of China before you make any hypocritical remarks, especially as someone from a genocidal settler colony like Canada

Why? Let’s say this was still the example… Couldn’t the reach of the Vatican and its billions of followers make a meaningful impact?

It’s far from billions, but sure, hypothetically, if all followers of the Roman Catholic Church somehow managed to seize state power in their respective countries and started producing renewable energy, it would be meaningful. Back in reality, that’s nothing but a thought experiment, and in case you genuinely didn’t realize, my use of Vatican City as an example was because of its size

A country is not just its land, it’s the people living there and the economic system with which it operates. The per capita energy capacity depends entirely on how the country of the individual in question is run, and the total energy capacity of a country is not primarily determined by the number of people living there, but by its access to the necessary resources (primarily trade in China’s case, theft through imperialism in Canada’s) and the goals of its government

Why is that insignificant? By what measure?

In terms of stopping the destruction of the planet

Why is a country not a uniform data point but a person (grouped by country) is?

IN TERMS OF SCALE, group 1’s employees make 3 widgets per person. Group 2’s makes 2 or person.

Also in terms of scale, group 1’s employees makes 20 widgets in total. It’s only meaningless if all you care about is how much each person produces. If Vatican City had the highest per capita energy production, it would still be insignificant in practice.

They are of a comparable measurement - total wattage. You can divide this by the respective population sizes and you’ll get another type of data. You can also divide it by the amount of people living in urban areas, by the total amount of land, by the amount of land utilized for electricity generation, by the amount of time elapsed since the country was industrialized, by the amount of time elapsed since the country started producing renewable energy, or numerous other factors, and you’ll get a different type of data every time. “In terms of scale” does not inherently imply that population size is the divisor

what?

OP asked for a distro to tinker with 🤷

if you want an interesting distro to mess around with, you can try Guix or NixOS

that’s a strange interpretation of the warning considering the instance and the chain of “removed by mod” messages below

Email is insecure by default; you can encrypt messages if the recipient is on board, but that won’t be the case for most people. You can use services like Proton Mail, Tuta Mail, Disroot, Autistici/Inventati, etc. (or self-host), and they’re all better alternatives than Gmail, just don’t expect secure communication

In Soulslike the worst exploit I can think of is switching equipment on the fly but is that really that bad

in that case they can implement a pause screen that’s only a pause screen, not allowing the user to do anything but unpause 😐

it’s understandable if you’re using a game engine that doesn’t support it (e.g. your own engine), but I can’t think of it as anything other than a design flaw

AFAICT Chromium isn’t free software, it’s BSD-3 and a few other non-copyleft licenses. GPLv3 seems fairly solid to me
