Hey I just came here from another thread. Can we send someone back in time to invent Pokémon before Nintendo then sue them?

On the internet, your perception is always wrong.

My perception is right.

I think its best for us to be thinking both

  1. how to live in this world of eroded privacy. Privacy has always been a mixed bag, right from when your neighbour might peek in your cave and tell your aunt what he saw on the wall; part of life is learning how to live best in society as it is. “Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.” And,
  2. how to work to improve things. “And the courage to change the things I can.” Spreading privacy ideas on Lemmy is one part, as is choosing to use private and ethical options, but so is bringing society-benefiting ideals to your workplace, doing advocacy, supporting and developing software for privacy, and so on.

Well, that’s my vacuous philosophical thought for the week. I hope you enjoyed it, and find some wisdom of practical substance somewhere else ;-)

What if we didn’t want more sea, just spikier? C#

I look out acroth the thea, and thee what I can thee. I can’t pronounth that thtupid language; I’ll write in lithp.

Ocean + traversing a desert => Ocaml?

I improved the C! It is greater! More potent! But what is this? I look at at my poor boat, upon which I traverse the waves of the C++ 7; now it is degraded. Now its beautiful metal hull has oxidised. Oh, the dangers of the C. …Wait, that gives me an idea…

The big entrance hall one, IIRC. If you go to the upper galley that encircles it, there’s a board there that explains. The hanging skeleton is wider, and the real animal more slim and long.

Do you mean the bit before where it says “2017-2019 and potentially thereafter”?

Of course interviews are few and anonymous, and information is scarce: much of the premise of the report is that it’s hard to get access, and that anyone known to be giving testimony will be at risk of harm.

What you are doing is interpreting based on the report, and on other evidence - but the discussion earlier and elsewhere in this thread is that the UN report itself goes against the genocide claim, and that people just don’t read it. But it seems to me, if one is to simply read it, it’s clear the UN believes there were, and probably still are, serious and systematic human rights violations against the Uighurs.

As to ‘genocide’ as a term, I do think it’s fashionable - a buzz word - like ‘terrorism’, often bandied around when the author wants people to feel the thing is truly serious and unpardonable, but not always with good care as to the meaning. Hence it gets often argued about with respect to various events, even in cases when the main facts of the event is mostly undisputed.

Serious human rights violations have been committed in XUAR

Allegations of patterns of torture or ill-treatment, including forced medical treatment and adverse conditions of detention, are credible

There are serious indications of violations of reproductive rights

The extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention… may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity.

Genocide is a fashionable term to throw around these days, and much argued over; but the UN report you all keep lauding doesn’t seem particularly flattering when actually read.
