About the racoon recommendation have you tried other Lemmy apps? Curious what made you choose racoon

Thank you Luigi for freeing me from the chains of capitalism

Oh wait, his CEO killing changed nothing. Okay back to work I guess.

With due respect, that’s quite different than the claim you explained in the comment I replied to, so I hope you will edit it to clarify that. edit: I seem to have misunderstood the original comment.

As to the point you stated in quotes in this comment (edit: which is what OP originally intended), I don’t see how they’re related. Criticizing China’s crackdown on dissent must not mean you should deny their credit on executing CEOs.

Thank you for your comment. From my skimming of the articles you sent, they seem to argue that the state has a track record of cracking down on dissent and protests.

I’m not sure this proves your initial claim though (that CEO executions were done to combat government criticism), unless there’s a detail in these articles that I missed by skimming too fast. Please let me know if I missed it.

While your claim is plausible, it is also equally plausible that they are acting within the defines of their state ideology, and we would need more evidence to prove it is one or the other.

Disclaimer: I only skimmed the articles and did not attempt to verify the evidence they present, as it didn’t seem that they are addressing your initial claims.

I wonder that too. Do you have proof that it does?

Please show your work. What is the proof that it was done to consolidate power?

This isn’t to mention that your use of the word authority is strange. How exactly do you determine who has more authority between a US house representative vs. a CEO?

Sorry I’m no longer interested in such a derailed conversation.

1. Yes
2. With their help, the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century was created in yemen
3. They didn’t hit once and just stop. Not that its okay if they did.
4. Stop derailing please. You’re not gonna successfully justify those crimes.

1. Way to derail the conversation about Syria with a country way that has little to do with it. (yes even if OP said middle east)
2. Even with Yemen, the United States started. The yemeni rebels fought against an oppressive government, and the United States had to intervene in the interest of Saudi for many years before the yemenis ever responded. So your example does not disprove the claim.

Highly doubt that Syrian army were interested in opening a front with the strongest military in the world, when they’re getting pounded by Al-Qaeda on the other side of the country.

Who cares? I don’t like biden at all but this shouldn’t make news just because Republicans are fixated on biden. Hunter biden didn’t commit anything of value. Yeah sure, those in power can get away with things. Nothing new here.

Not world news. It’s an internal matter of the US.

Russia only occupies the small region of its naval base. Iran does not really occupy any part, although they do seem to have great influence on the government.

Contrary to whats being thrown around, Russia’s support hasnt shrank much. The major change was Hezbollah, which had to retreat from its positions in Syria to support the front against israel.

Unfortunately this is just PR speak. While the Lebanese resistance was very successful in repelling an occupation of Lebanon, israel has succeeded in forcing them to abandon the support front for Gaza. I do not blame them at all, but it makes the victory in Lebanon bittersweet.

If you’re using something like tor, and rotate on every single search, then that would be ideal.

I assume you’re not using tor. That means all your searches can still be linked to you via the network source (ip address, etc.). Google can also use your search patterns to fingerprint you.

It may be one of the better solutions, but there are certainly privacy implications

Striking terror in the hearts of genocidal invaders is a good thing yeah

I have read that it is faster, though I have not tested it myself. Personally, my initial reason to use it was just to try something new and explore the unix world. My reason for staying is that it is a very simple init system that is pleasant to work with. It made me understand what an init system is and use it a lot more.

Systemd is good if you just want something invisible and you do not want to mess too much with an init system unless you have to. Everything integrates with it

OpenRC is nicer if you want to write your own init scripts. It is very well documented also.
