If the US stayed out of other countries politics and there were no coups or installation of people favorable to the US what would the world look like?
  • You've got a good point there but limiting it just to the west shows your lack of understanding about world politics. The imperialist approach is present in many parts of the world and throughout old and recent history. Besides the west, Russia (warning: propagandists incoming) is doing that with neighboring countries and in Africa, just like China and other African countries are doing that too in Africa. Rwanda in Congo for example. China to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Japan and their massacres during WWII. Morocco in the Sahara region. Israel in Palestine, and vice versa Hamas to Israel. In Islamic countries: sunnies vs sjiets (or however it's written).

    So your point of view is a bit too brainwashed around the west I'm afraid. Lots of governments trying to subjugate other countries for wealth and power benefits.

    Bidet anyone?
  • There's tops you can buy really cheap that you can put in a bottle and have a very cheap bidet. I think for many people it's a struggle to change their mind that this is also OK and it doesn't have to cost thousands of $$$

    Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?
  • Functionality-wise it definitely is, but secure wise no. There's probably same kind of tracking for profit going on in the background like with WhatsApp and signal. SimpleX is a better alternative privacy and security wise, but it's still in heavy development

    Founder and CEO of Telegram messaging service arrested in France
  • Well, he caused this himself in the end, he failed to deliver on the part of secure and private messaging because default chats are insecure and secret chats are a buggy joke. If he delivered in the promise of providing a real secure and private messenger and did real effort to fight against spam, then things mind have turned out differently. Decentralization should also have been part of it.

    In the end, he chose for fancy features instead.

    Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs
  • I can't explain, perhaps due to my limited knowledge about the subject. I understood that compression was a weakening factor for encryption years ago when I heard about it. Always good to do your own research in the end 🙃

  • The big benefit theism often gives is the sense of community. Atheism should do that more often too, so people are not forced to become religious for the sake of having a community.

    But that's a bit besides your question 🙃

    Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs
  • Encryption and compression don't play well together though. You should consider that when storing sensitive files. That's why it's recommended to leave compression off in https because it weakens the encryption strength

    Private Capital vs Central Planning
  • Sounds ridiculous to me. If politicians didn't decide on the rail system because of elon, it's still a problem caused by the politicians

  • Electron is a widely hated framework on Linux, but what about the alternatives like Neutralinojs?

    In their own words: In Electron and NWjs, you have to install Node.js and hundreds of dependency libraries. Embedded Chromium and Node.js make simple apps bloaty — in most scenarios, framework weights more than your app source. Neutralinojs offers a lightweight and portable SDK which is an alternative for Electron and NW.js. Neutralinojs doesn't bundle Chromium and uses the existing web browser library in the operating system (Eg: gtk-webkit2 on Linux). Neutralinojs implements a secure WebSocket connection for native operations and embeds a static web server to serve the web content. Also, it offers a built-in JavaScript client library for developers.

    Do you experience alternatives like Njs to blend more in the desktop layout, install less junk, use less memory, are more compatible with Wayland,...?

    Discord servers focused on addiction

    There are many discord servers that can help you overcome drug (and alcohol) abuse if that's what you want. Highly recommended to pay them a visit.

    I'm talking for example about Apple relying on child labor in China for cheap labour, being directly responsible for suicides in the factories of their Chinese partners, them sabotaging their clients phones to make them slower.

    Not only limited to apply but also others like Facebook, Google,... Ideally the information should be presented in a simple and easy to get format.

    I'm looking for a way that's appreciated by the community and doesn't break any rules. I just created one that I think was missing here.

    Why I created this community

    I created it because I saw that on reddit, it was one of the most supportive communities. I also read that more people became abusive drinkers during the pandemics and as alcohol ads are omnipotent nowadays, it just makes a lot of sense to have this community here too. Hopefully, people can find the support they need here to overcome this problem.

    Sorry, my first post isn't too interesting, I just thought we needed this here too. Supportive communities like these make a big difference.

    Related community: !stopdrinking@lemmy.world. I would suggest to go to that one if you purely want to focus on your goal of not drinking anymore. This c/ allows you to talk about alcoholism more broadly.
