It should be illegal or heavily restricted, as it is in many countries already.

1. The kid doesn’t get what’s easily the most important aspect of school (even more important than the curriculum), socialization.
2. The kid gets an education from someone who likely has no qualifications whatsoever, and is more than likely homeschooling for fundamentalist religious reasons.

Today the US and Israel bombed and killed 85 people (mostly children) in an all girls primary school.

Death to amerikkka

I feel like its a goal of the MIC as it gives them a reason to exist. Use violence, terror, kill civilians to create more enemies and justify more military spending.

Not a good long term strategy, but the orphan crushing machine still has people willing to operate it.

They also bombed and killed several members of his family, including his daughter, granddaughter, and son in law.

There aren’t any articles from irib yet, but multiple sites say that irib confirmed it live on TV about half an hour ago: https://p.dw.com/p/59bSu

That and the condescending arrogance of “bombs are not the best way for Iran to accept our form of democracy” stuck out too.

So much coded language in here.

Lots of good ideas in here. A lot of this could be done with a lemmy community (possibly with mod-post only turned on), appointing reporters / writers as moderators, posting peertube links for videos, using pinned threads for bigger stories, etc.

We desperately need an anti-zionist german language lemmy server.

Disgusting pacifist hours:

It was a lemmy.ml issue but it’s fixed now.

Means we can’t effectively “live a pleasurable life / gather roses while we can in this life”, because the next lives downstream will keep experiencing suffering just like we do, and it multiplies to infinity, unless we do something in this life to escape suffering.

Even if you don’t believe in rebirth, it’s hard to deny that it does give a good impetus and sense of urgency that gets us to look beyond our own existence.

Threads.

Also instagram should be shown there too as its owned by facebook.

Unfortunately a lot of other instances let white / western supremacists set up shop there, and don’t moderate them.

I love hjson / json5 for config files: https://hjson.github.io/

Never understood the toml philosophy of trying to flatten every object field.

Both Mao and Deng era’s both had foreign investment, and high growth rates compared to capitalist countries.

Both are still built on the foundation of socialism: 5 year plans, no private land ownership, public ownership commanding the heights of the economy, and a smaller capitalist sector for foreign investment.

From 1949-1978, the Mao Era, China’s GDP grew an average of 7% per annum. Mao sincerely wanted the Chinese to get rich, just that all that wealth must be distributed as equally as possible. This is reflected in China’s 1978 GINI coefficient being a very egalitarian 0.16. A GINI coefficient of zero means that all the income is evenly distributed to all citizens and a coefficient of one means one person has all the income and everybody else has nothing. As a comparison, Sweden’s is currently 0.25, the lowest in the world, China’s is 0.37, the US’s is 0.41 and for all of humanity, 0.65. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient

With the advent of Deng Xiaoping’s reforms and opening up China’s economy to do battle with Western capitalism(the Deng Era, 1979-2012), China’s economy has grown an average of 10% per annum, while America’s growth averaged 6%. A not-well-known point of history is that many of Deng’s reforms were actually started by Mao, Deng and Zhou Enlai, going back into the 70s and 60s, which helps explain the Mao Era’s phenomenal socioeconomic achievements. These earlier reforms were cleverly rebranded as “new” by Deng. Western capitalists eagerly lapped it up, in their lustful pursuit of Chinese profits, starting in 1978.

These imperial lies have continued into the Deng Era. China is still a communist and socialist country. Baba Beijing has simply used the West’s methods, markets, investment and technology to continue to advance the wellbeing of China’s people, within its non-capitalist economy. This is hard for most Westerners to wrap their heads around, that China has been and continues to be a communist and socialist country, till now, 2015, and will continue to be so as long as Baba Beijing is in power. This explains why the West has been relentlessly trying to overthrow the Communist Party of China (CPC), since liberation in 1949.

• The Long Game and Its Contradictions. Audiobook
• The myth of Chinese state capitalism. Did Deng really betray Chinese socialism?

Vibes based analysis with nothing backing it except vague anticommunism.

This is the west’s leading country, accusing its enemies of “authoritarianism”:

PRC, USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK. All succeeded where others failed in defeating western colonialist attempts, and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.

PRC deserves special recognition for lifting more people out of poverty in the past 30 years than any other country in history… so much so that world poverty is increasing if we leave it out.

Either that, or for chinese android OEMs to just refuse this. I have a Xiaomi android tablet where google play is entirely optional, and it doesn’t require any developer verification, and I greatly doubt they’d let google refuse to let them use their own app stores.

I made an issue on the keepandroidopen repo about a "remove my app from google play pledge at least.
