  • As far as I know he ever advocated for it, but he understood it as an inevitable reaction.

    Off the tip of my head the only specific quote I can think of is his

    "I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.”

  • Controversial amongst whom and for what reasons?

    Without providing that context your critique is "...unhelpful at best"

    Edit: to be clear, Hexbear is a large and active instance, so if you value their content (as I do) other instances being de-federated can be just as much, if not more, a mark against those instances. Hence why it matters who deems them controversial and why.

    I don’t personally know who they are federated with, but as someone who’s only used Lemmy.ML, I can interact with their instance and I can interact with many (if not most, idk) other instances (.World, .Zip, Lemmygrad, DBzer0, etc). So if they are de-federated with those instances and you want to see both Hexbear and them, maybe come to Lemmy.ml.

    Side note: is there a way to track de-federations aside from just searching for communities hosted there from within your instance?

  • "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!" ~ The left.

    But the old man is a masochist and part of a broader coalition and his role is to distract us with beating him while the rest of his group sacks the town.

    Then when they are making their escape he jumps up and says "we could have stopped them if we worked together ! Look what you've done!" And keeps intentionally getting in our way while we try to chase the ransackers.

    Then when they have escaped successfully he moves in with them and shares the loot while planning the next mission.

  • People are recommending all sorts of instances without telling them how many instances have de-federated from them and if they're federated with hexbear etc.

    You only focus that criticism on this suggestion because you are obviously one of the people who don't like hexbear and want to frame your critique of the suggestion as more reasonable/less biased.

    What exactly is the "reputation" hexbear has anyway? Being based?

  • Those darn time travelling Chinese went back in time or something!

    The Chinese government has said the death toll was about 200

    From their June, 3, 2009 piece.

    https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=7744479&page=1

    Which happens to line up with the lower "historian estimates" they provide in this article...

    Historians estimate that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) killed anywhere from 200 to several thousand people that day.

    Unironically they probably intentionally changed their story on the governments claims because if the government claims around 200 and many historians claim around 200, then the higher estimates are less likely to be blindly trusted.

  • By what metric?

    China has the world's largest HSR network at 45,000KM, 15x that of Japan's 3,000KM network.

    Chinas fastest regular use line is 350KM/h. Japan's is 320KM/h.

    (AFAIK) China is the only country with an operational maglev line (in Shanghai). A 30KM line at 430KM/h. While Japan's Maglev is still under construction.

    So what are the metrics that Japan's rail system cooks China?

  • Lmfao. Least obviously biased propaganda piece against the DPRK AND most trustworthy BBC reporting.

    "South Korean movies are smuggled over the border to show how rich and free south Korea is"

    What even is the part where you can't type "older brother" because it automatically changes it and tells you the right context to use it...even when the "wrong" context isn't present. (And really this would be based if true anyway because...gross?)

    Edit: maybe provide some explanation for why this "reporting" is trustworthy and relevant instead of a propaganda piece.

    It's literally just a woman making claims holding a prop. There's no further evidence.

  • Standard Linux mint is is Ubuntu based, LMDE is debian based. Completely different depending on the issues they had.

    Edit: but also plenty of other Debian based distros, including Debian itself would avoid direct Ubuntu (Canonical) and Fedora (RedHat) influence.

  • There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.

    No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.

    For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between

    RedHat engineers -> Fedora.

    And

    RedHat engineers -> Fedora -> Upstream Project acceptance-> Debian -> LMDE.

    I'm not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I'm simply making my knowledge on this known for people who's line may be in a similar place to mine.

  • It's worth noting that fedora is heavily sponsored by RedHat (a subsidiary of IBM) and is the upstream testing ground for RHEL (Redhats commercial offering). RedHat also has close ties to Israels government and it's military.

    This is a huge dealbreaker for someone like me so I feel it's necessary to mention.

  • Linux Mint Debian Edition.

    Obviously you can't completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)

  • "...in my european grocery store if it says honey, its honey.”

    He clearly speaks from his american expirience

    ‘We knew there were counterfeit products on the market, but we are shocked by the scale.’

    Florin noted, ‘The fake honey is not just a problem in Sweden but for beekeepers across the EU. The matter is with the EU Commission, and we do not know when a decision will be made. As long as the EU does not approve the tests, we do not have the right to remove the products from grocery store shelves.’

    The OP article that their comment was in response to was about a widespread issue of fake honey in Europe. You don't hear about fake stuff in Europe because you'd rather ignore the evidence literally right in front of you to keep your EU superiority complex alive.

    The EU is far from immune to the basic forces of capitalism.

  • Lol. You just said

    "i assume you are american? in my european grocery store if it says honey, its honey."

    In response to someone's comment about fake honey being in stores under the aforementioned article which is about fake honey in stores in the EU.

    You completely ignored the article to go for a smug EU head own but owned yourself by ignoring the article. But doubling down is objectively hilarious so please continue to do so.
