Well we know for a fact that China has it's own Douyin (Tiktok) app and that it prioritises stopping any inkling of random social movements/organisation through social media.

So this isn't really a mystery at all. Within China they are subject to their laws. Elsewhere they follow global norms.

I actually think all the furore about China and Tiktok was really not about Chinese control over Tiktok in the West, but about the West's own control over Tiktok. Much like how Huawei was booted for not allowing US intelligence agencies to put in backdoors, rather than actually enabling spying itself (this came out last year iirc).

And ethnic cleansing is still genocide. Palestinians are refugees the world over because of Israel. Some stuck in Egypt, the Sinai desert, some in Europe and others internally displaced stuck in Gaza originating from other places in Israel. It all stems from the 1948 Nakba where Jewish terrorist gangs began a massacre and campaign of ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

In a context where we have the lies about the hospitals having tunnels under them, that 40 non-existent babies were beheaded and where some key facts about Oct 7 have somewhat unravelled, how far would you even bother policing the words of people wishing for a liberated Palestinian?

The Israelis and their supporters are also notorious liars and frequently try to claim that Muslims or brown people were responsible for the Holocaust in Europe.

They've bombed civilians before and the intelligence they send tend to be garbage according to EU after they looked through the reams of documents the Israelis sent them. As an occupier, Israel behaves like a country at war all the time, they lie, kill and cheat perpetually.

When the Israelis impose a system of racial domination on Palestinians that is objectively worse than Apartheid, I'd say you needn't bother handwringing about Israelis getting their feelings hurt. Fascists is always an alternative though - they're politicians have used it themselves.

Netanyahu himself has made racist jokes favouring white Jews over the north african immigrants, so while 'white supremacist' also works at that point, you're back to just saying 'Nazi'.

Best to try meet people in the real world. It's good for the mental state (especially nature and bodies of water), increases chances of meeting somebody, etc.

FLOSS & FOSS

To emphasize that “free software” refers to freedom and not to price, we sometimes write or say “free (libre) software,” adding the French or Spanish word that means free in the sense of freedom. In some contexts, it works to use just “libre software.”

From https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html

They also say:

We in the free software movement don't use either of these terms, because we don't want to be neutral on the political question. We stand for freedom, and we show it every time—by saying “free” and “libre”—or “free (libre).”

More than 2600 children dead and thousands more civilians. But scum like him still live.

Why do you pretend everybody is stupid? People know the history. They know the attack didn't happen in a vacuum. They can also think it's bad.

As a result of this they can tell when somebody is doing atrocity propaganda to defend and aid in Israel's impunity to kill thousands of Palestinians.

True, but effectively on the political stage, he is the opposition. Understandable that non-politically online people/normal people call him left.

cvnt, for when you're a medieval printer lacking Us.

A source to read more about this and how exactly kfx works and it's enhanced typesetting would be cool.

Do you know of alternative methods of producing kfx files other than the official Amazon app and Calibre's plugins for it?

And how would I go about editing a kfx file?

Didn't he have problems with his staff? They complained on twitter iirc.

It matters to me, since I find the differences in sizes to be stark when I compare them. I already find page turns on my Paperwhite a tad slow (even with page refresh off). So converting all of my books to kfx (which was my initial plan) seems like a bad idea.

Not natively? You mean through the epub to kindle service?

Why are kfx files often larger and sometimes double the size?

Yeah, and a blatantly establishment-biased source like that should have been linked with an archive site.

Lies upon lies. Even Israelis know that Netanyahu funded and provoked Islamist Hamas over the left secular PLO. It's an open secret.

Co-opted??? Moron, get your anti-left propaganda right lol.

Problem is Hamas is Israel's own creation. They funnelled them money.
