The government can send simply send (backdoor) directives for censorship on certain issues that they can do with big companies.
One day you’ll realize you’re somehow wrong because this opinion will instead become popular opinion.
It does sound like that. Exaggerated for sure, however it’s not that far from reality although to a lesser extend during 70’s, if I am not mistaken.
Yes, we can safely assume that those who leave NK are somehow working for the government either officially or unofficially and thoroughly vetted to ensure that they will come back to their glorious country.
Not just Japan. When they need language teachers and translators, they just dock their subs close to the beach of the country, and kidnap anyone they found there.
of course they can, to the countries that have diplomatic relations with them, but not many countries, of course.
Fun fact:
As of 2024, Malaysia is the only country in Southeast Asia that does not maintain diplomatic relations with North Korea.
If Kim Jong-Nam assassination rings a bell…

During the initial and development stages, the top tech workers were headhunted and paid a lot to set up good infrastructure. Now that the infrastructure is already there, when there’s not much new development being done, they ended up being considered overpaid with respect to the works being done. These companies will end up getting rid of this ‘overpaid’ workers and replace them with migrant workers that they can get for a lot less.
But god forbid you express disagreement. If you aren’t with them completely, you’re a fascist.
That’s fair game. If they express their opinion at Lemmy.world we would also lable label them as fascist. Their community is their safe sanctuary where they can do unto others, what others do unto them.
I don’t block any of them. In fact that’s what I like about lemmy. This instance would definitely have been banned at Reddit. In fact, I want to see different opinions. I like to read how people of different opinions think. The only thing that I wish I wouldnt see are those very annoying meme/pics (comments) at hexbear.
I am quite disappointed. I also think same exact question as my native language is not gender based. I expect to see answers based on studies or research. Much that I see here are opinions. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have subject matter experts.
wretched+rancid = rechid?
I see Russia’s s need for survival the same way when Japan was sanctioned during WW2. Japan didn’t survive simply because they can’t sustain a long war, where they can’t replenish their resources fast enough.
For Russia to even survive, they need to find allies quickly so they can sustain in the long run. I think they see that in China. However Russia will need to stay dormant for quite sometimes, because they won’t be able to fight head-on against the backer of Europe, the US. Russia will simply lose. They need to passively maintaining their power while piggyback on China for support.
And rubble is worthless, no doubt about that. What they’ll do now is to rebuilt their East-based economy, by piling up large amount of reserve currency, such as Yuan. They have been trying to persuade other countries to do the same by reducing their dependency on the US Dollar. They others need to do that for their plan to work. It doesnt seem to work, at least for now.
Anyway what I found interesting is not about Russia but the emergence of India. India’s boldness to defy the call for Russia’s sanction and to take advantage of Russia’s desperation to sell their resources is simply brazen and unheard of. I think the Ukraine conflict has incidentally propel India as a serious emerging country, announcing that they have their own projected goals instead of being forced to choose side.
The EU will think now Russia is their enemy. But Russia is not even that powerful if we pull nuclear capability out of the equation. But their alliance with the East will be the real problem as it may accelerate the creation of a more powerful China and ironically revitalise the dying Russia, which in the end will actually strengthen them.
This is why The US/EU was not able to crumble Russian economy and stop their advance in Ukraine after the sanctions took place. The didn’t expect that China and surprisingly India, and Turkey (to some extent) will come to the rescue. Although Russia was definitely hit hard by the sanction, they manage to reverse the damages by redirecting their resources to the East instead. They have now formally change their policy to Looking/dealing East.
Open source can be sold/commercialised. I think you’re confusing between FOSS and open source.
I’d recommend Orange Pi 5 plus. It’s much more expandable than OP 5.
Do you really know what you are talking about? I think you’re bullshitting. We are talking about propriety client which doesnt modified the source codes of the server.
if you use VPN and someone abuses the IPs, then you’ll likely get captchas.
SwiftKey. I know, it’s owned by Microsoft. But I paid for the app long before Microsoft bought the company. I tried so many other apps to replace it, but prediction wise, I can’t find any comparable replacement.
