Happy to oblige.

Basically the North is a totalitarian state in which one family has retained absolute control of the state and its population. They have prioritised military programmes and their nuclear ambitions above the needs of their people and thus they have one of the worst economies and their people are often starving and diseased.

Recently they have also been arming Russia to help with their war of aggression against the innocent people of Ukraine.

All of this is in contrast to South Korea which is a democratic country with one of the world’s strongest economies which provides for a very good standard of living for its population.

There is much more, I’m sure, but these are the first things that pop to mind and the reason why the North is not the best Korea, and infact the South should be considered the Best Korea.

What makes you hate it?

That sounds sensible on first thought…but it’s easy to find slurs that are for non-oppressed people’s.

The French, for example.

I was unaware of that when I posted this.

I’m not naive to that fact, I just don’t like it.

I’m not gas lighting you and I didn’t know that was the intended acronym of .ml

If that’s true then I will be moving instance.

BTW I’ve not been blocked (to my knowledge) by anyone- I’ve just had a couple of instances where I’ve been in discussion with someone and when they turn to ad hominem attacks they’ve called me a tankie or some such. Regardless of what was being discussed or my views.

This sentiment is exactly what I’m talking about.

I’m not associated with the moderators anymore than your average user of .world is associated with their’s.

My point is, yes I can choose to change instance but why should I? Lemmy is meant to embody the best of us - and yet some of us are creating “us and them” situations.

This sentiment makes me sad.

I chose .ml because it was smaller than .world (and that seemed to be the point of federation) but was also generic (my interests are very varied) and had great uptime, and didn’t de-federate or had been de-federated by many instances. Now people say stuff like this and I feel the need to change instances because I don’t want people to tar me with that brush (and I have been accused directly multiple times just because of my instances) but I feel conflicted because the whole point of this while thing was that we could be on any instance we liked and it shouldn’t impact our “social standing”. I’m disappointed in people that they can’t judge a person by the content of their character rather than the instance they are on. And alas - I feel it’s only a matter of time before I’m forced to change instance because of other people’s prejudice.

There are no gay people in Russia.

Pretty sure our right wing is left of your left wing. So no you can’t have it because you don’t have a system that supports anything other than the right-wing hellscape you got now.

I don’t know why but I feel like anything in water would spoil faster…but I have no evidence or even a theory as to why this might be. Perhaps you, keeper of the water carrots, could enlighten me as to why they keep longer?

Yeah I’m curious as to whether there’s not merit in taking the imperfect codebase and improving it.

It’s easy to understand when you think most comments are similar to yours and don’t provide any insight as to why this might be a problem.

Maybe you could update your post and share your knowledge and experience with others, so that there are less people in the world who don’t see the problem.

I agree mostly, but forks don’t need to keep the upstream. They can go their own way.

Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?

There’s still players, don’t worry.

Everyone seems to want to jump on the neg train but reality is that even games with tiny players numbers can still support multilayer matchmaking

It’s still the 35th most played game on steam.

Yeah the US differs by a couple of weeks iirc

Because that was what the article was about…I actually am a Linux user and fan, folks just misreading the intentions of my post.

I would genuinely love to see it, because I’m stuck on mac hardware to do my job and I really hope one day they get crucified for their anticompetative practices so I can freely choose the OS my business uses.

I’d love to see you run xcode 16 code completion on your superior OS. Send me a link once you’ve uploaded the vid.
