Or mention something like Xinjiang.

yes

Ah I see, thanks.

But then what the other commenter said would basically be "Both Wikipedia and Prolewiki are biased, but Wikipedia is biased to the wrong direction. I like Prolewiki's bias more than I like Wikipedia's bias. Therefore, Wikipedia is not reliable on the topic of Authoritarianism."

I first cited a nazi sympathizer without noticing this. After they refused to accept this, I cited the UN instead. Guess what they said in the comments? That the oppression of Uyghurs is not genocide.

The comments weren't entirely mild either. Have you not seen those screenshots of comments using insults? Don't you think it's a red flag that such a large portion of hate speech on Lemmy is from Hexbear?

If you like Hexbears, you should leave lemmy.world and go make an account on an instance that has not defederated from them.

Ok, maybe Wikipedia is biased, but I want to hear your arguments on why Prolewiki is not.

Prolewiki, lmao great source

What you're saying basically is

If I lean more left than someone, they must be one of those MAGA conservative Fox news fanatic.

You might as well go make an account on hexbear.net.

You're the one that tells everyone you don't agree with to go watch Fox News. Just in case you didn't know, that is not a compelling argument at all.

Yes, instead of Wikipedia let's just use this random wiki that is heavily biased toward those authoritarian states.

laptop?

@hark@lemmy.world Though I probably will get downvoted for my shameless self-plug and stance against them, you should read my post on Hexbear: https://lemm.ee/post/5751850. If you don't have time to read it all, you should at least read the tl;dr and the Edit 1 near the end of the post.

I also hate this convention tbh. Doesn't really make sense.

I actually got almost half of my colleagues to use Signal. Well maybe they probably still use another chat app even when talking to a fellow colleague who has Signal, but at least I got them to register an account.

I fail to see any reason for hating a chat app so passionately except possibly for privacy concerns, which is definitely not the case here.

Mine is not blocked yet. I am definitely worried about this though. I am in East Asia.

Wonder how much YouTube is going to squeeze out of this ad blocker blocking.

Probably not, but the convention is that periods and commas always stay within the quotes, whether the period or comma is a part of the quote or not. (This differs from what one expects from writing code.) When using question marks though, the placement does depend on whether the question mark is a part of the quote.

Edit: When I was younger, I also didn't know this and would place all punctuation marks according to whether it is a part of the quote. In fact, in my native language that is what you're supposed to do. To this day I still dislike this convention in English.

Edit 2: I know that this is an American English thing.

Try https://github.com/osfans/trime. It has multiple input schemas to choose from, and they are great for typing Chinese. Admittedly it only supports the C in CJK, but it is absolutely worth a try if you don't need Japanese or Korean.

Try Thumb-Key. It's a keyboard made by Lemmy's main developer. It uses a rather exotic layout, but once you get used to it, it is so much better than qwerty.

Bottom. It's what makes Firefox stand out.
