Why is the phone owner being accused? It was the border guard that put in the code and wiped the device. He should be the one prosecuted, if anyone.

He was 69. Knowing his trade, he has probably done copious amounts of drugs and alcohol in his life. As much as I'd like to see people get what they deserve, it's probably just a stroke or heart attack.

I'm not sure why I continue to argue in good faith, but anyway. The UN doesn't use the word genocide, but they have found violations that fall on the scale.

That'll be all. I've got better things to do.

Nice whataboutism. Evil is evil, doesn't matter who does it. E.g. what Israel is doing in Gaza with support of the US is equally bad.

What China does to the Uyghurs and in Tibet is genocide. Ignorance doesn't change it.

It's sad to see how many people think you should just pivot from relying on the US to China instead. Just because you can trade with them reliability.

China is a genocidal dictatorship with world domination ambitions. Their influence must be limited to an absolute minimum for world stability.

Cool! Please enlighten me of the use cases a bit. The offline part I get. But since you call it a travel server, I assume you also have a home server? Then why not just VPN home to access that? What benefits (other than being available offline) does the additional hardware being?

If you think 3D printing is advantageous for economies of scale, I have a bridge to sell you.

Rockets are the complete opposite of mass manufacturing.

but experts say coal emits carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and several other pollutant
What the hell is this crap reporting. It's not like this is a contested fact or an opinion.

That was my thought as well, but wouldn't the behavior be the same near the poles then?

Why? Almost all large constructions with local impact has some NIMBY movement. In addition, all these datacenters are ultimately backed by the Epstein-class with the end game to replace you. Action on the national level may be lost, but on the local level things can still be done.

Super cool, amazingly fast! Seems to work great so far.

Most of us probably (?) came to the fediverse to escape the claws of big tech. Endless scrolling feeds are their way to trap you in their platforms to waste more time there (more data, more ad revenue). Those incentives are not applicable here. Currently the feed has 75 posts per page, which while not infinite achieves close to the safe effect. Personally that leads to excessive time spent.

It would be great if we could have the option to limit the amount of posts in the feed, then you would need to click to the next page to see more.

To be clear, talking about the feed and not comments to the posts.
