Welcome to the group - due to the lack of public toilets (especially clean ones), we Indians have always treated the whole outside world as our toilet!

It doesn't matter - western superpowers are complicit in this genocide, and that is why this genocide still continues. From the "there is no genocide" Joe Biden to "it's no…

Does anybody know if WineHQ refuses to accept new submissions to its Application Database ( https://appdb.winehq.org/ ), if you don't opt to be a "maintainer" for the s…

Apparently, Bill Gates is one of the largest private farm land owner - https://landreport.com/farmer-bill-gates …

To summarise - I want my democratically elected government to have a strong influence and control over foreign corporates when they operate in my country, to protect my country's national inter…

Yes. Support is there for some 10Gb Intel devices ( https://man.openbsd.org/ix.4 ) and Broadcom devices ( https://man.openbsd.org/bnxt.4 ) including SFP+.…

> Do you actually understand what you're asking for? Those sorts of regulations exist as consumer protections, because you're paying for a service ... Yes, I do understand what I am ask…

I am just restating my faith in my country's democracy to protect my rights, than any private BigTech or foreign government. You, on the other hand, are deliberately ignoring that foreign media p…

> "Stricter regulations" like what? For communication platforms (messengers) - the same kind that telecom companies are bound to, for example. For social media platforms - similar to wh…

I have the opposite complaint. I wish OpenWRT ran on low-resource routers like those really cheap TP-link ones. DD-WRT does support a few of it, and my personal opinion is that it is better optimised …

> "kids don't get facebook and throw tantrum". But you cannot ignore that aspect - addicts do get aggressive, even violent, when they don't get their fix. So they are indeed v…

Not OP, but I don't consider regulating social media as "censorship" at all because the nature of foreign owned social media platforms means that you do not know if it is your own citiz…

Since you are being downvoted, perhaps out of ignorance, I posted to back your assertions - you are absolutely right that social media fuelled the Islamophobia that has now culminated in the ongoing g…

I feel sorry for us as human beings that something like this isn't treated as a war crime. It should never be ok to kill non-combatant civilians in cold-blood. This thought first came into mind w…

It's because the rest of the world has realised how deeply tied Western and Chinese BigTech are deeply tied to US and Chinese intelligence agencies, respectively (surveillance capitalism). The ac…

I don't know if it is an email harvester or an AI experiment. But when I saw the email field, my first thought was, "Why does this service need my email to send my anonymous kind thoughts t…

Exactly. It's the equivalent of something like western Five / Nine / Fourteen Eyes, that also share intelligence within the alliance.

Yeah, I understand your point quite well. Many western countries do (or are trying to) conflate criticism of Israel and antisemitism, to create a chilling effect to protests against their own foreign …

Note however that unlike Organic Maps, CoMaps lacks support for old devices. Without Organic Maps, an old iPad would be a useless junk instead of a great navigation aid.

I do say many critical things about my political leaders and government policies, online. But, like I said, I am more mindful of what I say and how I say it (e.g. I often quote such things from a news…

If your account has been hacked, and even possibly misused, the company would be well within its right to take the time to verify everything you say. They wouldn't, after all, want to fall foul o…

I do trust my ISP more than any foreign VPN service providers because I have the option to take my ISP to court if they violate my rights. I stopped caring about anonymity on political subjects when I…

My ISP is smarter - they just block all the torrent and streaming site I visit, and try to push me to upgrade to a plan with many streaming platforms bundled in it. Sucks for them, because I already s…

They'd most likely have to know your user name on HN first, which will most likely happen only if you have linked your email with it; and your email service provider and / or HN does data sh…

I am an Indian and I disagree with the whole premise of the article - for the west, India was never the alternative to China. China was a unique capitalist experiment that failed as it was never mea…

Yes, that is what I am implying. Even Trump pretended to care about Gaza, during his campaign. (But his political actions are all to the contrary, after becoming President). This highlights how even h…

What do you mean gotten away with? - Meaning that by not taking concrete political actions, they are tacitly supporting the genocide by Israel. (By western superpowers, I mean US, UK and France).…
