Is much nicer 👍

To me it lately sounds like Canadians do need to worry a bit about “freedom” being brought to them.

Also ganz ehrlich? Einfach keine Spiele von Entwicklern kaufen die so ne Scheiße regelmäßig abziehen. Die üblichen Konsorten sind hinlänglich bekannt und ein Boykott wäre auch aus anderen Gründen mehr als gerechtfertigt.

Fine, keep ignoring obvious facts and lie to yourself that China isn’t full on capitalist these days. The cognitive dissonance must be painful 🤦

Lol, you literally have no idea what you are talking about (including non-propagandized 20th century Chinese history). And that you continue to claim that China post 1970ties is communist (or even just socialist) is hilarious. Maybe try looking up the number of Chinese billionaires as a start 🤦

Lol, what an absurd interpretation of the data, and accusing me of moving goal posts when all I did was pointing out that the data doesn’t fit to your warped story.

And 1965 to 1970 was the hight of the cultural revolution, meaning the communist party was mostly engulfed in an internal power struggle, which left the people in China mostly to their own devices (and not actively damaged by earlier disasterous policies by Mao, like the great leap forward), and in 1970 to 1975 the reformist around Deng already started getting the upper hand in actual implementation and the result is the state-capitalist country we know today (“communism”, lol 🤦).

And I explicitly stated that I do not defend the military dictatorship in SK. I only pointed out that your beloved Maoists in China somehow did significantly worse than them until China started adopting similar policies in the 1970ties. Literally doing nothing would have been the better strategy for the Chinese government, as the 1965 to 1970 data clearly shows.

P.S.: The Phillipines seem to also have somewhat outperformed China on that metric in the 1950ties (at least they didn’t do worse), but were later held back by the Marcos regime: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072232/life-expectancy-philippines-historical/

P.P.S.: Indonesia also doesn’t show a Mao induced delay in the raise of life expectancy: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072197/life-expectancy-indonesia-historical/

The data in your graph is too coarse to show the war dip, but other similar graphs your ML friends always cite, conveniently start right in the middle of the war period.

But regardless of that, your graph clearly shows that the before and after war life expectency was about the same, then there was a significantly delayed improvement during Mao’s reign of terror, and when he was sidelined due to illness in the 1970ties and capitalist policies adopted, China finally caught up to its peer counties.

Just compare your graph with the development in South Korea: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1088199/life-expectancy-south-korea-historical/

And you can clearly see that Mao delayed the improvements seen during that time all over the world. And no, I am not claiming SK was a great country during that time, yet somehow despite having a brutal military dictatorship they still outperformed China under Mao on this metric, which shows just how bad Mao did.

Lol, can you even read that graph? MLs constantly disproving themselves with their own sources 🙄

And I am not a “lib”, but an Anarchist 😅

Edit: and compare your above graph with this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1088199/life-expectancy-south-korea-historical/ and then think about during which years Mao had the most influence on policy decisions in China…

Lol, that is fake news. Life expectancy dropped during the war period as expected, but it was about as high before the war as it was after. The methods Mao employed rather delayed the recovery.

I had the same discussion with one of your fellow MLs before, and this is just completely silly cherry-picking of data to make the disasterous policies of Mao look somehow less bad 🤡

me checks timeline and notices that this poverty allevation didn’t start until long after Mao’s death and only after China switched to a capitalist mode of production…

Sounds quite good, but just use regular Debian, ubuntu isn’t any better and annoying with their Snap BS.

I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?

You can set up a Wireguard VPN.

XMPP Entwickler und die Standards Foundation (XSF) haben auch kürzlich Drohbriefe von russischen Behörden bekommen, aber das ist ein ziemlicher Papiertiger 🤷

Arn’t there several addons for that?

Well, if you have read it then your cherry picking of minor ways Bluesky is slighly less closed comes accross as pretty bad faith 🤷

Offensichtlich ist von Meck-Pomm die Rede, aber für manche ignorante Berliner ist das halt alles JWD 🤷

Obviously you would install Linux on it. Absolutely no difference to a regular server then.

Maybe stating the obvious, but don’t skip over older laptops if you can get your hands on them. Especially because the CPUs are already optimised to be power efficient. They also come with a built in UPS that even in bad cases will still be good enough for 15 minutes or so, which is good enough for 99% of the power cuts. Only down-side: lack of SATA ports, but that is more or less the same with mini-PCs.
