I think you're thinking backward. Internet is what it is because a single protocole unified it. Without it, you'd have island working with only one browser each, some would eventually die and with them large parts of Internet would disappear.
Internet works on unified protocoles. Everything that challenged this model is bound to fail. That's why javascript is so successful eventhough it's so shitty as a language.
If you consider Europe like any other country, then no matter. But what would happen if US law were to target lemmy? What if EU was to censor lemmy and forbid any company to use it?
If you want lemmy to be yet another forgotten free software project you can continue line this.
Well, French president and several of its ministers are saying that socialist left, or radical left, is extremist. So no, it's not an America problem. It's very much a Europe problem too.
I'd defend hamas every day of the weak if it's what it takes to fight fascism and genocide. But I'm not. You are defending fascism and genocide though. Israel killed 10 times more civilians than hamas, and numbers are still counting.
You are the one defending terrorism here. Not me. Get your logic straight.
They worked hard for decades. They've been betrayed and hampered by editors in the past until kick-started. It's not a lucky situation, they built this luck.
Act 3 is great. It was tougher on the hardware for performances because it's so big, but patches fixed many of these problems. That was some time ago already.
So, let's put it this way. Let's say you have this nonsensical idea of a unique timezone for the planet. We'll base it on UTC for simplicity.
You are in new York. It's 1000. For you in new York, it's the middle of night. You'll wake up in a few hours. Your day usually goes about with wake up and work around 1400, lunch around 1800, end of work around 2200, sleep around 600. You can live you life with that. It's merely a social construct. It's completely stupid as a construct because it's not setup for your actual day. The 0 means absolutely nothing. The 12 and the 24 neither. Why have a 24 hours clock for this? But a decimal clock would do nothing more.
Now you need to work with someone in the UK. Can you talk to him right now? Who knows? You need to ask Internet about the time delay between where you live and where he lives. You learn it's +6. Or -6. Who cares. Now you juggle with 2 times at your work: your usual one, and your colleague one. Congrats, you made a timezone again. When you need to know when he starts work, you do the maths : 1400-600=800. He must starts at 800, unless there's some cultural differences.
Now what you call 1800 is called 1200 for him. You made the same concept, the lunch time, have a different name depending on where you live, and that is after the translation.
Why even have a time at this point. It's more confusing than anything. Let's just have minutes.
You'll have wakeup +200 for example. At wakeup +400, it's midday. Midday +400 is the break. Break+400 is dinner. Dinner +400 is sleepy time. Now that would be much more sensible than your unified clock. There would still be problem with timezones interaction.
But there's nothing to do about timezones. It's and effect of the spherical earth and general relativity. In physics, there is a clock for each and every position, and a delay between each. Most of the time it doesn't matter, so you use your local time. But when it does, you do timezones. Because that's how the world physically works.
That time means nothing anymore. Time is something real, not a mere number that's irrelevant to reality. Midday is the middle of the day and the zenith of the sun, or close enough. Midnight is the middle of the night. Etc. It doesn't need to be exact, but it needs to mean something. In France for example 4PM is the name of the snack you eat that this time.
We already have it: it's called UTC. You should read about it probably, instead of asking the whole fucking world to change its uses for your convenience, shouldn't you?
Whether you realise it or not, there are two hours you are using here. Your local time that you suppose is automatically converted in your brain, and the international time that you can already use and is called UTC.
Learn to use UTC, problem solved.
Why do you want to create problems when there is a solution already?
The natural social hierarchy is racism in other words. And Hungary is leader in Europe to promote anti-immigration laws.
Hungary is also punished by Europe because it doesn't respect many human rights, especially regarding media, police, and separation of state powers. I don't know the details, so maybe you have more about it?
The problem with fascism is that it is a conservative slippery slope. It starts with mild racism or protectionism or isolationism, add authority, which slowly becomes nationalism and then suppression of opposition. Starts conservative laws to remove rights from groups of people (minorities, women,strangers...).
It's a boiling frog problem. You can only be sure when a coup happen, but sometimes you don't even need a coup. Hitler was elected. Purges are a definite proof, but they are often hidden.
