Here’s one way it could happen
No, projects like the Fediverse require initial protectionism. If you let megacorporations into your project, they will dominate and gain control over how the protocol develops in the future. Google Chrome’s huge share of users has enabled it to get dangerously close to locking other browsers out of most of the Internet (the Web Integrity API shenanigans are just the start). Chrome also removed support for JPEG XL, killing that attempt at a standard and enshrining its own WebP. It’s called “Embrace, extend, and extinguish”.
If the Fediverse actually wants to grow, it must unite against this. Otherwise we will end up with a couple hundred thousand Fedipact hardliners and millions on Facebook 2. No progress will have been made.
The impression I get
That’s the issue! These articles give lots of impressions but are light on the facts!
edit: 😡
Ugh I swear China train reporting is of the lowest quality… What does “full-size superconducting test run” as mentioend in the CGTN article found in the linked video description mean? The video shows a train car the size of an automobile. Is that what they mean? But how is it the “first” test run when SCMaglev in Shanghai uses superconductors and has been operating for two decades? How long is the test track? How does it compare to startups in the rest of the world? Is this “full-size superconducting test run” also a low-vacuum test? What speeds is this “full-size superconducting test run” going to achieve? Because 99% of reporting on vactrains cover test runs that do not achieve the advertised speeds. What is the name of this research team? Is it the World Artery that this article mentions, or are they unrelated? What is their relation to rail companies and government organizations? Basically, is this being taken seriously or is it just hype like in America? Also, “The new project experimental”?? “The new train is specter to be”?? Does Travel Tomorrow force their journalists to write an article in 20 minutes or something?? Bottom of the barrel reporting, guys!!
edit: holy smokes everyone I am just as bad as these guys - I got the Japanese SCMaglev and the German-Chinese Shanghai Transrapid confused. SCMaglev users superconductors in their electrodynamic suspension system. I don’t think the Transrapid uses them in their electromagnetic suspension system.
Finally, a unique and strange American Balkanization map
America’s only been partially successful at kicking China out of global markets, and China began correcting their trade a couple years ago. Now trade with Southeast Asia is huge. It is equivalent to or bigger than the EU or US.
Lol I think this is the locked thread on r/movies right? So there’s only like 40 comments but they all have thousands of points.
Only Zionists would think to give up latkes to own the Palestinians 🤪
Return to buttons. This “infotainment” fad is seriously dangerous.
Reuters, NYT, NPR etc. are all using the opportunity to complain about Xi of course, but no conspiracy theories yet. I went with the People’s Daily article cause it doesn’t use his death as an excuse to write an opinion piece. Also it’s straight from the source.
I for one denounce the heinous acts of violence committed by the Haitian rebels. Stand with France!
And yet you support the genocide of Palestinians. Curious!
Alexander Zavaly. I believe these paintings are from after the collapse.
You are falling for atrocity propaganda again. No, Palestinian freedom fighters did not go “one by one” slaughtering babies.
Incorrect. Hamas, in accordance with the Quran, believes it is possible for Muslims, Jews, and Christians to live in harmony. Furthermore, in their updated charter they explicitly reject targeting Jews for simply being Jewish:
Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage.
Firefox on Android with U Block Origin. Can watch in 720p and even listen to audio while in another tab. Stop using apps folks!
Fuck Google, I’m not paying them shit.
However, when Google and Amazon are nationalized then I’ll agree. Everyone should pay taxes which go into the government owned server farms.
Love the scare quotes lol
Comrade Zuck doing us a favor and ideologically purging the Fediverse of all the liberals by extinguishing all the collaborationist instances. o7
