Thank you for the response!
Thank you for the response!
It seems like a potential scalability issue, and a lot of work. Props to the administrators who deal with this right now.
So basically a silk road alternative, but not really because it would be much easier to track down and remove a node? Or is it possible to also hide a node and rely on forcing de-federation?
For a free throw example, because it shouldn’t become a go-to for child pornography.
Thank you for this. It helps me with further inquiry—I wasn’t sure what to search. Again, thank you!
It’s fine that you want to vent. Go ahead and raise that fist to the sky and give it hell, kiddo!
If misdirecting that at me makes you feel better, do it. Rock on, and I’m glad I could help. I hope you feel better!
Yes, but OP was asking for more than a single high-level example. And, again, exclusively answering colonialism would be disingenuous if we implied that was THE answer instead of part of it.
Quoting myself here…
Here are some topics but NOT an exhaustive list:
Thought debt could go into some of the other categories. Calling it out individually or under a broader umbrella of economics would be fine, too. It’s just a suggestion list for OP to research.
Many of the issues CAN be and are linked to colonialism, reread what I wrote.
Yes, your points are pertinent and support problems that colonialism is relevant to, I did not claim otherwise.
However, you’re clearly focused on negatives and crimes (in many cases rightfully so) the US has caused. But the question wasn’t exclusive to the US and is not exclusive to the US.
For the OPs question, trying to exclusively link everything to or overstate the colonial influence is an example of what I was saying as well.
It’s comforting to pretend that we just say one word “colonialism” and think that now we’re experts on the subject. But there’s so much more than colonialism, which again is a big factor (the first I listed), and overemphasis of it while disregarding the other real issues and nuances is counterproductive to learning.
You need more context/specificity around your question. Right now, the question is like saying, “What is that thing…?”
You’re going to get a LOT of reductive and low effort answers from Lemmy radicals. But this is a super complex question, and there’s not a 5-second ELI5 answer if you really want to understand.
Also, when the radicals scream at you, there’s going to be a core of truth. They’re going to yell about colonization and empires. That’s a major factor, but not an exclusive one. However, for getting radical and rabidly furious its all they’ll bother posting to you.
Things to investigate, because answering this for yourself in a meaningful way is going to take a while and require study. Here are some topics but NOT an exhaustive list:
Colonization
Resources (natural and otherwise)
Schooling, education, etc.
Stability, politically and otherwise (note this will have overlap with colonial and non-colonial powers destabilizing things intentionally for geopolitical gain)
Infrastructure (transportation, economic, water, medical, etc.)
Medicine as regionally practiced, traditional vs based on the the scientific method.
Geopolitics (isolationism, etc)
Geography (i.e. the US’s greatest asset is its location, it neighbors no enemies and its main enemies are separated by an ocean. One of the key reasons the US focuses on the ability to project force)
Religion
Corruption (politically and non politically)
Crime and non-military/nation based violence (also could get grouped under personal safety and security)
And again, honestly, a lot of these topics will overlap, but that’s what I mean by there isn’t a quick, easy answer.
And the reductive stupid answer is just yelling colonialism.
There’s a reason people get PhDs in this subject. It’s not a quick, easy question.
End state capitalism, the coportocracy / oligarchy using the legal system they control to wield the fascist police forces against the people who don’t behave like they’re told. Meanwhile, taxing what little those people have to pay the salaries of those forces abusing them.
I mean, the studios are doing it right and following SOP.
They wrote the DCMA, used the congress they bought to pass it, the president the bought to sign it into law, and now will use the FBI and local militarized police to impose their will by force.
Constituon was an obstacle they did away with when they bought the Supreme Court.
LOL, spit take. I appreciate you.
Fox, OAN, NewsMax, etc. Those are gateways to the Christian Taliban… I mean ISIS. Same thing.
Never tried it, but thank you for the recommendation!
And it’s pretty decent, Voyager is definitely worth trying!
I’m a long-time fan of Boost and admittedly biased as I love its UI and UX. But Voyager is definitely a good one.
Def check out Boost. I’ve used both and can’t find anything in sync to warrant the coat vs. Boost. That said, Boost is worth the cost for sure, and if Boost wasn’t an option, I’d consider sync.
Appreciate you taking the time to help me understand.
