They did a stupid ass job them
They probably didn't expect their president to be idiotic enough to be against vaccines and recommend stuff like bleach.
They're a developed nation and could've had better control.
They were able to hinder Chinese trade a bit.
And didn't they try and fail to kill Castro in many stupid ass ways?
I think them doing it is more likely than China doing it to their own, considering the trade issues that the virus caused for China at the time.
And again, they were the first to use nuclear weapons on civillians. Did it twice even.
I don't think they'd have an qualms about using biological weapons, if they thought that it'd give them an edge.
They also can float the 'China virus' conspiracy to confuse the public and make them anti-China too.
My personal conspiracy theory is that the Chinese government did engineer (or at least selectively cultivate) COVID
The theory I'd believe more is that the U S of A govt or one of its agencies engineered and released it in China.
China and India are growing economies, with decent populations and a pandemic would seriously delay their growth and help the U S of A keep it's top place for a bit longer or destroy its competitors.
I've heard the theory being given decent thought by non-western people. And it's equally, if not, more believable than the other one.
The US is the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons on civillians, so them using biological weapons on civillians would not be a big moral barrier for them or a big stretch to think about.
They probably didn't think it'd spread this much and their own citizens n even president would be idiotic enough to be against vaccines and masks, when people were dying.
Are there any modern books which talk about the same/similar contents which are easier/smaller for a beginner to start?
They said that they don't care about the opinions.
They may care and see those people as a bother/problem.
Quick yt video on the topic:

He paid his workers well enough that a majority of them could buy his cars?
Productivity reduction(or more likely accidents due to tired workers) might be relevant.
Not mentioning Mussolini, Unit 731, Churchill alogn with Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
America genociding Gautemala avoided in such a timeline?
I think the modern American empire is seen as much more dangerous than the modern Chinese one. Especially with how it tries to subjugate people even outside its continent
Is there a way for the same on Firefox on Android, Fenix?
Cool technique. Is the tagging feature available in Jerboa?
But that only allows comparison between different countries
The median or mode would also be needed to get the general view
Ok. Isn't that a pretty unreliable, without additional measure for income inequality?
Is this the average, total sum of income/total no. of employees or the median income?
Aah. Have you filed a bug report on it with the info? Maybe they'll fix it if it is common?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
I think the homepage can be made lighter by using the customize homepage option and removing unwanted stuff.
Apps that I know:
- For images - Pocketpaint, Freepaint Fossify Gallery has a basic editor with draw, crop and filters. Tux paint is also nice to draw stuff.
- For video
- Video transcoder allows basic cutting of audio n video.
- Saw an app called Bunny media editor, that allowed basic image and video cropping and cutting.
- I've also heard that some people use Termux for it
Are there other apps like these? Which all apps do you use to edit images/videos and make memes etc?
The rape and murder of a female doctor in India highlight the violence against healthcare workers.
One that use the camera to give an approximate distance between two objects?
Tape measure has some features, but needs a known reference object in the same plane. And most of the predefined objects are not common where I live. It does have an option to define custom reference objects.
But are there any apps that do not need a reference object?
Thanks in advance.

I've recently read about it, and it seems straight forward. Materialism makes sense and things getting resolved through the resolution/interaction of contradiction/opposing forces too.
Though curious on how it is used as a tool to analyse and resolve problems. Especially in the lives/localities of those who study/use it.
I don't much about philosophy, so forgive if I made any wrong assumptions or if this question is weird. Please do recommend any online sources that may help me there, in that case.
Also, would it be better to ask this in another sub, as this question maybe political?
BJP leader Gyan Dev Ahuja said that the landslides in Wayanad were caused due to cow slaughter practices in Kerala and that such incidents will continue to occur at places where cows are slaughtered.

NetGuard - https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/ TrackerControl - https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/
How was your experience with them? Differences in battery life etc.
Another doubt: I had tried NetGuard some years ago to restrict internet access of apps like Gboard n Gdrive(I use the pdfviewer associated with it. Any lightweight foss alternatives to it?). Was planning to use it again, but saw that eventhough they have a recent update, their Github doesn't allow issues and the latest pull request are from 2023. Is there some change in the app? Have they transferred to Gitlab or Codeberg.
I don't know much details about programming, so asking the doubt here because of the Simple apps transfer issue that I heard recently.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Mentioned the usecase for gdrive

Anyone know where the issue is to be notified to? Or where I can learn more about the issue? I did try to read the log file and this message seems noteworthy: > No hash for gradle version 8.9! Exiting.
I don't keep auto-sync on repositories turned on and use an rss feed from the fdroid subredd to follow updates to the repo. I also know of https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds.
Are there any other methods or official feeds?
If not favorite, ones that touched you in some way.
I'll start by mentioning some movies from my mother tongue(Malayalam of Kerala, India):
- Mumbai Police A crime thriller (Came out almost 2 decades ago n was very striking for the time)
- KammaraSambhavam Political/Historic satire/drama (The main actor has some cases on him, but the movie is quite good)
- Kathavasheshan
- Devasuram Conservative sigma male upper class Kerala dude getting character development. I really liked how the transformation happened in it
- Maheshinte Parthikaaram (Mahesh's Revenge) Not an action movie.
From my country, but not in my mother tongue:
- Super Deluxe - A Tamil movie that I recently watched, quite unique
- Enthiran (Robot), a Tamil movie Has over the top stuff, but is fun to watch
- Viduthalai(Liberation), another Tamil movie
- Agent Vinod - A Hindi spy-comedy movie
The anime that I like are Hunter x Hunter, Parasyte, Samurai Flamenco, Gintama.

Especially ones that you find useful on android Firefox, as they seem to be less popular?
Recently got to know about bookmarklets due to a thread here in this community itself: https://lemm.ee/comment/12623456 ^An unrelated question: Is there some way to link comments so that they are automatically opened in home instances for eveyone, like how we can link communities and usernames currently?^
Some interesting/useful bookmarklets that I know of:
- Bullshit.js as mentioned in that link
- dotepub. It does say that data is sent to their server. For some sites it's better than the inbuilt save as pdf option.
- A bookmarklet that opens the current site in G-translate
- Saw a bookmarklet which works like reader mode.
The freecodecamp article on bookmarklets maybe useful for those new to it(It helped me). It seems cool. https://wiki.greasespot.net/User_Script_Hosting links to sources for userscripts. Most of them seem to be desktop-centric.
Which are your favorites? Any cool ones that you have made on your own?
- I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
- Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
- Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.
Newpipe and Just (video) player have this function, but the former cannot play offline files and the latter cannot play audio files. I can rename the audio file to mp4 and play it in Just player, but it doesn't have a background play option.
From what I've searched on the net, in both apps the feature us implemented from ExoPlayer. On F-droid, Auxio audio player mentions ExoPlayer, but does not seem to have the feature available. Are there any foss apps that has the feature to Skip silence for audio files?
At least one person was killed when parts of the roof caved in and crushed vehicles at Indira Gandhi airport in New Delhi, according to an official. All domestic departures were suspended.
As the affluent or the relatively upper strata starts to directly see issues, would the govt be forced to have better quality infra development?
The R site has such a feature, which can allow one to group posts from many communities into one feed. With many communities on different instances with similar topics, it'd be useful to group them to avoid separate visits to each community.
Does lemmy have such an option? If not, are there any lemmy clients that can provides a similar option? Or are there known workarounds, maybe with the rss feeds or so?
Historically, elections for the Speaker of the lower house of Parliament in India have never been held. Congressman Kodikunnil Suresh and BJP MP Om Birla submitted their candidacies for the Lok Sabha Speaker election on Tuesday. Know what the ruling party and the opposition has to say on the matter.
Bjp had broken the norm of the most senior parliamentarian being the pro-tem speaker. Kodikunnil Suresh, Congress' MP from the Mavelikkara assembly of Kerala, was the seniormost MP(8 terms, 25+ years of experience as an MP), but he was not made the pro-tem speaker.
Another norm that the ruling and opposition sides come to a consensus such that the deputy speaker post is given to someone outside of the ruling party, while the speaker is chosen by the ruling party is also being challenged by the Bjp.
So we're seeing election for the post of Lok Sabha speaker as a first.
