Disgusting.

Apologizing for a murderous imperialist.

Thx, although I still do wish we could scale up and get a few more full-time devs. Even if there were 10 of us, there’d still be years of work ahead.

Confidently wrong.

Your “evidence” if from US government employee / evangelical christian Adrian Zenz, who doesn’t speak Chinese, has never been to the region, has zero evidence for his claims, and is part of the US project of demonizing China, and imputing its fanatacism for killing Muslims on its enemies.

• What’s going on with the Uyghurs / Xinjiang province?
• XinJiang: Facts vs Fiction.
• A Pakistani Diplomat given full access to “re-education camps” and this is what she found.
  • Despite claims of “erasing Uyghur culture”, they stated: “I did not find any instance of forced labor or cultural and religious repression. The imams we met at the mosques and the students and teachers at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute told us that they enjoy freedom in practicing Islam and that the Chinese government extends support for maintenance of mosques all over Xinjiang. […]The most visible sign of protection of Uyghur culture by the government is the government-run bilingual kindergarten schools where children learn removednghua as well as Uyghur language and culture from a very young age.”
  • The grandaughters of Rebiya Kadeer (Once the richest woman in Xinjiang, and now a member of the “Uyghur world congress”, an org claiming that China is oppressing Uyghurs), talking about how their grandmother is lying about Xinjiang.
• Egyptian media delegates provide a detailed insight of the situation in Xinjiang
• China’s policies in the Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region lift 1.85 million people out of poverty from 2014-2017.

Here’s a good short documentary on it: China’s war on poverty

Thx. I’ll also check out the two writers you mentioned.

There’s a tendency for “soft-leftists” to co-opt already existing terms in the Marxist canon, de-fang them of any revolutionary rhetoric, repackage them, and market it to the masses. Mark Fisher, Zizek, Naomi Klein, are the major culprits.

Yes, the best book on this is Yasha Levine - Surveillance Valley . You can find the audiobook on torrents.

The purpose the the very first DoD networks, was as an anti-communist counter-insurgency tool, mainly to aid in the collection of data and the fight against communists in SE asia, particularly Vietnam.

I’ve found this also. He’s a liberal with zero class analysis or materialist literacy. If you’ve ever read his books, like his main one, enshittification, it reads like a middle-school age baby leftist wrote it.

It’s a testament to the sad state of US and canadian education that he’s considered a pioneer in any field.

Obligatory US troop copypasta

You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

What’s your use case for doing this.

Yep I’ve found this too. DDG has more SEO / AI slop search results than nearly any other search engine.

Same. They seem great for local apps like keepass, but it could potentially be as dangerous as passwords if using a provider like google.

Too many people (i’d guess over 90% of internet users) don’t know about, or use password managers, so their default is to use the same easy to remember password for everything.

Also webauthn only lets the server see the public key, so servers can’t get away with storing unhashed passwords in their db.

Yes you can use your own password manager to store the passkeys. Like keepassxc on android. Then all your devices can use it.

I’ve read this one as well. It’s not bad, but the three comrades, along with all quiet, are both masterpieces.

Noice. I hope to get this sometime.

DDG is almost all AI slop results now. Even worse than google.
