Sure is, which is why I argued for comparison based on actual acts of apartheid rather than simply annexing land.
If you know of any non-judeo-christian countries which murdered 99% of the people of a land before annexing it to put its own people on the land, then please, share, I'd love to increase my knowledge... I cant think of one off hand myself.
That said after more consideration there is one huge difference... genocide/apartheid... China and russia took over regions, but didnt exeterminate 99% of the people and then moved in... They moved in, they stole resources, so its worth being upset over... but extermination to take the land is definately one level above what china and russia does... not that they are **that** much better.
@emmreef Yup, it is absolutely an incomplete list and more countries should be added to it. China is a good one, so is russia.
@emmreef I am no lover of the extreme left.. but they certainly do have a point, these are all examples of nations who stole their land from existing indigenous peoples. While I wouldnt go so far as saying the solution is to abolish the countries there is a very valid point in there.
@gabrielesvelto If that is all the evidence they have I would dismiss it outright... sadly most people arent so critical. As with most things the people who find it agrees with their assumptions they will sell it as fact. and vice versa... here we go again.
We will keep @flear@flear.org strictly to major posts and have it linked to the website at https://flear.org
Meanwhile this account will mostly focus on non-professional microblogging posts and statuses. I wil reboost posts from the main account here as well.
The posts from here will appear on the main side in the side bar.
I get giddy every time I see my static website generated blog announce a new blog post to the fediverse... Cant wait to port it to my main website soon too :)
@lowqualityfacts Thats just silly, everyone knows the worker bees would suffocate and kill a corgi long before it had a chance to reach the queen!
You make a convincing argument as to the potential quality of this article. Thanks for convincing me to read it.
@dzso Sure have, its linked fromt he website.
@drewfer One is a sheen ink by kiwi, they make custom inks, I love them. theother is by inkverse also a greatoption!
@freemo I'm not sure but maybe #libp2p will solve that.
I'm hopeful it will but we're waiting for libp2p to complete #AutoNatv2 which is in progress, and then for someone who understands both #ActivityPub and libp2p services to take a look and see if it is feasible. It is beyond me so I can remain hopeful 😉
It isn't essential but would be a very nice to have.
Yea humans can outrun the vast majority of mamals on foot in terms of long-distances. In fact there are a few modern humans who hunt this way, just just hunt deer with knives by running after them until the deer tires then they jump on it and slit their throat... amazing really, and sad.
The port is only half the battle, you still need a static public ip address if you wanted to have a reliable server. But yea if you really want to hack it there are ways.
Just handwaving nd claiming a quote is out of context, when it clearly means the same thing in context, is just nonsense... you want to make that argument make it, but just saying it is so and hoping no one notices yoru talking out of your ass certainly isnt helping you look like you have a clue.
thats typical.
I mean that AP requires a server with a static address and available port, and must run 24/7 to be effective (otherwise I cant follow people will get errors).
Since the vast majority of personal computers are behind a nat with a dynamic IP you can not host AP based instances off your local machine unless you pay for commercial features (static public ip)
Interesting fact of the day: A chimpanzee is about 1.3x to 1.5x stronger than humans when it comes to pulling, jumping, and lifting with the legs in general. However when it comes to physical strength in terms of **pushing** humans are significantly stronger than chimps. Similarly while our legs arent as strong in terms of explosive power (jumping) we are many times better at endurance (using our leg muscles for longer). A human can cover a much farther distance on foot than a chimp could.
So the general factoids about chimps being stronger then us are very misleading. They are simply adapted to be stronger at the sorts of tasks they are suited for and weaker in others, while humans are stronger than a chimp in other ways.
