I am almost convinced that Christianity was created as a "4d chess" maneuver by Jews (they were all Jewish; Jesus was Jewish) to be a tranquilizing slave religion for Gentiles so that Gentiles could be more easily domesticated.

I'm probably going to get an iPhone. But the entire Android ecosystem would be a lot better with more competition from companies like Huawei, Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, etc. and Western consumers would be better off for it. The camera technology on some of these Chinese phones is amazing. I feel like in the US we really only have Samsung, Google, and Apple.

So stupid, so short-sighted. Of course, good for China and the rest of the world, though. Unfortunate that Americans, Canadians, and probably a handful of European countries won't really be able to enjoy Chinese products. For example there are tons of excellent phone manufacturers, consumer hardware manufacturers, and other computer hardware manufacturers in China + available in other parts of Asia which are entirely unavailable in the United States.

As long as Western manufacturers continue abiding by regulations that mandate things like backdoors and de-rated/de-spec'd hardware then countries like China should stop purchasing such products and should continue developing domestic alternatives that can also compete on the global market. The United States, more than any other nation I can think of, is constantly sabotaging itself for short-term "gains". Where before there may've been little direct motivation, now the US is going to force China into becoming a global computer, chip fabrication, and IT competitor through active sabotage of Chinese markets/industries.

Either way, both ATP and AP are flawed insofar as being dependent on servers representing single points of failure whereas Nostr is simply a network of relays with built-in fault tolerance and no single server dependency. @npub147t…gu5w

There is an implementation of ATP written in Rust called Blacksky, which I think basically comprises all the bits and pieces necessary to operate a full ATP service. But I think DID resolution is still dependent on Bluesky. And, as it stands, due in part to the complexities of ATP and all the moving parts the barrier for entry for getting an ATP service setup is far more demanding vs. an AP server or Nostr relay. It's almost engineered by design to limit the capabilities of people to setup independent ATP services and limiting the component services in easy to deploy ways continues ensuring that a critical mass of users will always only ever exist on Bluesky. @npub147t…gu5w

Supposedly in the future you will be. But, right now, the network is still dependent/contingent on Bluesky-provided services. And, even if you are able to, Bluesky still maintains like 99% of the users. So, if Bluesky refuses federation with you, or otherwise blocks your ATP service, then you're alone on an island unto yourself. Therefore, what's the point? @npub147t…gu5w

I have a pretty solid concept for a dating app. Probably has already been done before, but maybe not(?).
Essentially, the common trend among user experiences between genders on all dating apps worldwide is:
• Men never get attention, so it's purely a numbers game for them; They will send likes out to virtually all profiles but rarely get any matches and almost never get any dates.
• Women, on the other hand, are very selective and will be inundated with literally hundreds if not thousands of likes. They can't sort through all of them and they become totally overwhelmed in trying to select someone to match with. They'll be covered in messages and don't have the mental bandwidth to handle all of it.
What some apps do to try and be novel or mitigate issues:
• Bumble = women (used to have to) send the first message.
• Hinge = can only have X amount of "matches" to communicate with at a time.
What if there's an app where men cannot send likes, only women can send likes. That way, it saves everybody's time: Men aren't carelessly and constantly issuing bullshit likes, and women aren't buried in likes from men they're not interested in. Women, being the selective ones, send likes to the men that they're actually interested in or attracted to, and hopefully therein only get attention from those men specifically. Additionally, like Hinge, limit the amount of "matches" one may concurrently maintain. In this way, the likes sent are far more selective and intentional and the matches made therein are of greater importance vs. something random and arbitrary.

I don't think that AT Protocol will ever achieve real or meaningful decentralization. It's too incoherent as a protocol with too many moving parts and not enough motivation or impetus for self-hosting or decentralization. It's almost *by design* disincentivized for decentralization. As I explained on Nostr:
> Bluesky, more proper, is (in AT Protocol terms) a whole platform: client/app, app view, firehoses, relays, PDSs, etc.. —All the moving parts that makes AT Protocol so incoherent and difficult to truly decentralize with self-hosting and independent providers (the only really viable self-hosting right now are PDSs, but +90% of users will never do this; There exist a couple alternative app-views, but nobody fully hosting out a complete AT Protocol platform as Bluesky is).
Activity Pub, despite its inherent problems on a technical level, is still much simpler at the end of the day. And Nostr, still, is even simpler and easier. Both Nostr and Activity Pub are far, far more decentralized than AT Protocol. And, I think, between them all, Nostr is the best hope for real decentralized networking based solely on its protocol architecture. @npub1zpx…8vpf

And, by objectively easier and more convenient, it's not necessarily because iOS is superior to Android (although, it basically is, regardless, even if better to a negligible degree). My life would be easier and more convenient because there are a lot of apps that I specifically desire which are exclusive to iOS, or which treat iOS as first-class with Android as an afterthought. There is better and more seamless integration of a lot of components in iOS vs Android, specifically related to travel and banking. I've never gotten a hotel digital room-key to work on Android while it always worked on my old iPhone. Boarding passes for flights magically populate themselves when needed from the respective airline app. And, now that I'm using a Mac again, everything between the two devices would seamlessly integrate and sync up. I'd get iMessage support again, etc. etc. etc.. Just a bunch of proprietary shit that only Apple could accomplish while living in their ecosystem. I don't like it in ideology, but I cannot disagree that it does "just work" and that it makes life easier and more convenient. I'm tired of making my life more difficult for no real pay-off.

I find iOS more reliable and overall a better experience than Android, but I don't really find any meaningful difference in either of them. The benefits of Android are rapidly being eroded away by Google, to the point that there's really no benefit for me to use Android over iOS at this point. My life would be objectively easier and more convenient if I just went out and bought an iPhone (which I very well might when the new iPhone 17 series is released in a couple weeks).

I am very skeptical of AT Protocol as well and I find it needlessly complex with an unnecessary amount of components and moving parts—similarly, I think, for the purposes of control. Not all the moving bits are available for self-hosting, there's little motivation or impetus *to* self-host even if all the constituent parts were available and accessible to do so, and a large part of the existence of these bits is ostensibly for "moderation", etc.. It just seems like a big purposefully-obtuse smoke-and-mirrors song-and-dance bullshit thing that allows for the assertion of decentralization but a de-facto centralized and controlled network still. @npub18dj…zlw3

If AP is a failure of a protocol then why maintain a presence on it and contribute to the community that exists on top of it vs. embracing a superior alternative?

The only real negative of this model is discoverability or wider content accessibility. AT Protocol does have some really interesting and novel features in that regard, like user packs for people to subscribe to, lists, and just sourcing content from the wider network for feed propagation. Here on the Fediverse it's bare-bones simple: you're either following a user or someone you're following is sharing their content; Otherwise, you're never seeing any of it. You could be following +100 users and still have a mostly dead feed.

I continue to be impressed with the culture and communities that grow and flourish on the Fediverse. These are things that cannot be built or patched around by technology.
The Fediverse (ActivityPub) has a lot of limitations that other decentralized protocols like AT Protocol and Nostr have widely solved. However, both of those alternatives lack the fun and creative user-base and culture and community that lives here on Fedi. One cannot build that or force it. Fediverse development may, conversely, adapt and innovate and iterate to close technological gaps or perceived protocol limitations between itself and alternatives. The footing, I continue to conclude, is generally in the Fediverse's camp.

China is a country with a lot of laws and control apparatuses in place but none of them applied or utilized. It is, in many respects re daily life, a more-free society and existence than the West. I think it's notable that, for example, China has a lower incarceration *rate* than most European countries and, of course, the United States of America. So, while the PRC government certainly has the *power* to, and "reserves the right" to crack down on people, etc., they almost never actually do.
In regards to things like this stuff, specifically, I don't think the government would really care too much. Prostitution is illegal, there are still prostitutes and people use digital payments therein. There are *so many* vendors and sellers of all sorts of things that it would be virtually impossible to actually tightly regulate payment processing. There are probably more vendors and sellers participating in financial exchanges on a daily basis in Shanghai alone than the populations of some European countries.

I don't really understand *why* Westerners consistently lie about China and push fake narratives about the non-existent "social credit score". I don't know what utility it holds nor what it's trying to accomplish…… Maybe *domestic* propaganda to make citizens feel happier or be more tolerant of their deteriorating conditions at home? Foster sentiments of "well, regardless of the status quo, at least we don't have a 'social credit score' like they do in China!"?
This stuff *obviously* only works on people who are uneducated or ignorant considering if one was able to read Chinese one could just read the signs and text on images like that attached and immediately know what it was saying vs. trusting some blue-check-mark's narrative on X. This type of propaganda neither works on, nor is targeted towards, Chinese-speakers or people who otherwise know better……
>微信信用分享先充后付
This is basically advertising a WeChat credit feature where users can pay later. So, literally just credit. Like a credit card. Buy now, pay it later.
A quick search online provides the clear answer:
>只要车主的支付分在550分及以上，就能优先享受“先充电、后付费”的服务，不用再提前充值或缴费，整个充电过程更为便捷、高效
>As long as the car owner's payment score is 550 points or above, he can enjoy the "charge first, pay later" service first, without having to recharge or pay in advance, and the entire charging process is more convenient and efficient.
Essentially, this advertisement is saying that on a lot of electric vehicle charging stations users need to pre-pay a set amount either directly or on an account plan: If a user has his/her vehicle plugged in and charging, but the user's balance paid hits zero, then the charging ceases and the user shows up to a car without a fully charged battery---something the user probably wasn't expecting nor wanting. But, if one has a credit score of 550 or higher, one can just pay with WeChat and WeChat will cover the expenses on one's behalf and one just needs to pay WeChat back for however much was charged. Just as if one was putting any ordinary charge on credit.
>先充后付
>Charge first and pay later
It'd be very clear and banal to anyone on 抖音 what this video was advertising. But, of course, someone who doesn't speak nor read 中文 would have no clue!

You have freedom of speech and expression so long as it fully aligns with the engineered zeitgeist and furthers the agendas of your controllers and doesn't disrupt any narrative-creation-and-control initiatives.

There was some browser extension that existed and, iIrc, was created by the [cursed] Gab developer(s), which would create some parallel comment section that wasn't censorable and people could make posts about whatever.

There's really no point in commenting on mainstream social media anymore in {{ .date }} considering how much of the engagement content you see is probably fake astroturfed stuff and how these networks shadow-ban and censor any organic or genuine content that doesn't align with whatever advertisers want or the establishment ideology. The only "real" places these days really are networks like the Fediverse. I refuse to believe that anywhere else is actually real.

I know that China 110% doesn't issue citizenship to foreigners. I would imagine that Japan wouldn't, either, but, I don't know. I wonder what that process is like. I wonder how expensive Japan is. I think the language must be really difficult. @npub1hjv…drdr

In China I can get something delivered within 45 minutes. In the United States it takes over a week. The USA isn't a real country.

>I know it's not like me to be negative on these near-perfect films, but I absolutely can't hold this in any longer… This is the most horrible, anachronistic, out-of-place, unTolkien line in both of the films thus far. I liked both dwarf-tossing jokes, I wasn't bothered in the least by "Let us hunt some orc," but this line is in a whole different category, and I'm surprised it hasn't been complained about here more. Not only is it out of place, it doesn't even make sense! How do orcs even know what a menu is? Do they have fancy restaurants in Mordor? I guess they must.

Yeah, but China doesn't *need* more housing. China is one of the only countries in the world that has a housing *surplus*. China has about 2x the amount of housing than they do population right now, which is one of the reasons for people always doom-posting about some "inevitable" collapse of the Chinese economy since so much investments are supposedly tied up in unnecessary, surplus real-estate.

Hertz gave me a Tesla to take from KPHX down to KTUS once. It was like an 1.5 hour drive or something. The car had 80% charge. I asked the Hertz people if that was enough and they emphatically told me it was. But, it was like 42 ⁰ c outside and I guess that played a factor because 80% charge was not, as it turns out, enough to make the trip. @npub1hjv…drdr @npub1wra…wcuh @npub1pms…f2xn

I don't know if that's true or not. But, American diet also plays a major factor. There are very few fat people in my city and everybody walks and rides bikes and takes public transportation. But, diet is also *a lot better* than a typical American diet. @npub1fsr…jgql @npub1hjv…drdr

American cities and suburbia isn't setup for pedestrian existence. So, it's not easy to blame Americans directly for a sedentary lifestyle. I walk many kilometers a day in my city, but it's also *extremely* walkable---downright encouraging and enticing to walk. @npub1fsr…jgql @npub1hjv…drdr

People already live next to Walmarts, though? Zoning laws aren't stopping that. Zoning laws are enforcing all the worst aspects of suburbanism while destroying the ability to have neighborhood shops and corner stores or running a business out of your house.

Zoning laws basically shouldn't exist.

I kinda feel like tariffs should be 1:1. Pretty straightforward. Countries can agree together to be tariff-free. Or, pay same reciprocal tariffs.

The moral of the story is that if you are ever in possession of anything of monumental importance you release it unto the world like Prometheus releasing fire unto mankind.
