For a brief period, the had a communist monarchy, with the British Queen as official head of state

And it worked! The Crown reluctanly accepted the communist rule, but when a military junta took over, the Queen's representative orchestrated a US invasion, and constitutional monarchy was restored.

@[url=https://social.accum.se/users/pettter]pettter[/url] So, Ukraine, Russia, Hamas and Israel have all committed war crimes and the only difference is that Russia and Hamas started it?

I would add that even though I'm the one who made the comparison above, what Israel has done to the people of Gaza in retaliation of what Hamas did is enormous in scale compared to the original crime, and cannot be considered similar to what Ukraine is doing.

Ukraine is obviously the defender,and Russia can end the war any time it wants by returning the illegally occupied regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Crimea.

But when Ukraine strikes against Crimean power plants and transformer stations, is it committing war crimes? Russia was accused of war crimes when it did it to Ukraine. Is there a dual-use exception when a region is a staging area for attacks against your territory? If there is that sounds like something Israel would claim as a legal defense for at least some of their actions in Gaza.

Oh, this is interesting.

Why April 14th? Because it's a sidereal calendar! ~1500 years ago the New Year was on the equinox, but the equinox has since moved three weeks.

The Gregorian calendar is a tropical calendar, so it keeps in sync with the equinoxes, not with the zodiac and the fixed* stars, and that's why in that calendar, the zodiac has moved instead, and that's why your astrology friends say you're not born in the starsign you think you are.

TIL we have cultures with sidereal calendars.

* of course nothing is "fixed": they're very far away and slow in terms of angular velocity as seen from Earth

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishu

[quote]Vishu falls either on the same day or near April 14/15 as other new years in parts of India where the sun's path is followed, such as in states like Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Bengal, Northeast India, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and Jammu. Additionally, the Songkran festival of South East Asia also falls on the Vishu date, with the significance of the Kanikonna as part of Laos new year same like of Vishu celebrations in Kerala.The Sinhalese New Year in Sri Lanka also coincides with the Vishu date, sharing similar traditions such as the Vishu Kani, flower blossoms, traditional foods, and fireworks.[/quote]

@[url=https://mastodon.social/users/taylorlorenz]Taylor Lorenz[/url] My name came up in a non-public subthread.

A lot of what I would have to say has been documented in the "people's history" type articles written about a decade back by Robek and Strypey, about the early, pre-Masto Fediverse from a user and social perspective, but I could be helpful with clarifications. (I'll try to locate those articles)

Like many others have pointed out, I would say Evan, CWebber and Gargron have key perspectives not to leave out from a history, protocol, development and hosting perspective, and for modern hosting perspectives and broadness of software and ways of running communities, I'd talk to Jerry and Darius.

I think all of these people have been at-mentioned elsewhere in the thread and I won't spam them further here.

Another interesting branch of the Fediverse historically is the one with Quitter, En Kompis Kompis, Freesocial and the Umeå Hackerspace, but I'm not sure where to find mmn, pettter and peer2hannes these days. If I @ them here, my server gives me the defunct Umeå Hackerspace server.

Oh, and I hope someone digs out that beautiful fedi software landscape poster from that workshop a few years ago.

[h3]Arnaud Bertrand (@arnaudbertrand): This is probably the single feature that makes China most unique as a civilization in human history: it is pretty much the only one where religion never had a say in political affairs.[/h3]
We often wrongly believe that China's secularism came with Communism but this couldn't be more wrong. The roots are far, far more ancient than this.

Think about any other civilization - India, Persia, ancient Egypt, European civilization, the Incas: they all had a priestly class that held considerable political power. China? Never.

Never, ever? Actually China, in its very early history, had a brush with theocracy during the Shang dynasty in the 2nd millennium BC. And it is precisely this episode - or rather what came afterwards - that decisively de-linked religion from government affairs.

How so? Because around 1046 BC, the Zhou overthrew the Shang and immediately faced a big problem of legitimacy. The Shang had claimed to rule because Heaven had chosen them. If that were true, then the Zhou had just committed the ultimate act of sacrilege. How do you justify going against God’s will?

The answer the Duke of Zhou (who can thus be credited as the - perhaps unwitting - inventor of secularism) came up with was essentially to say that Heaven's mandate is not a birthright but a contract - conditional on the virtue of the ruler and good governance.

It might not sound like much but this idea completely changed the whole equation: suddenly the legitimacy of power didn’t rest on God’s will but on man’s moral judgement, on whether the ruler had virtue (德, Dé) and governed well. Which meant that, ultimately, the people - as opposed to a God - became the arbiter of whether a ruler is legitimate.

If there is one single decision that most shaped China's destiny as a civilization, it's probably this one. And, as I explain in my latest article, it ultimately shaped all of us in profound ways: through a chain of events involving Jesuit missionaries, Voltaire, and what French Enlightenment thinkers called "l'argument chinois" ("the Chinese argument"), it is this very idea that ended up secularizing Europe too and drove the Enlightenment movement.

That's the topic of my latest article: the origins of China's secularism, how it shaped three thousand years of Chinese civilization, and why - far from being a belief in nothing or an absence of belief as it's all too often depicted - it's on the contrary a faith in humanity itself.

My Samsung phone is so frustrating. Even when I'm using an alternative keyboard, the OS insists on autoincorrecting my typing. I cannot find a place to turn it off.

Apart from the annoyance where I need to watch out for it corrupting my words or inserting or moving around periods, it also means that in e.g. Termux the terminal won't receive characters until they form a full word.

All autocorrect is turned off in AnySoftKeyboard. On a Huawei, that works as expected. I've turned off all autocorrect in Samsung Keyboard, in case that would help. It doesn't.

Help?

I went in expecting very little. Is it possible in the, what, third movie reboot (?) to tell a fresh and interesting story about the alien boy scout?

Apparently! Gunn and his writers pulled it off! Just the right amount of familiar, just the right amount of stirring the pot.

None of the 90s grimdark, but also not too much of the camp (but also not too little!). Very human, very grounded, but also very heroic. Excellent surprise twist that sets the launchpad for further stories and character development!

Great score, great visuals, great conflict, great pacing, great and interesting pick of rogues and heroes gallery.

Clark, Lois and Lex casting: Excellent. Chemistry, charisma, conviction.

Gardner and Terrific casting: Are you kidding me, what the heck, off the charts. Amazing. Pure joy.

I feel like popular music didn't really change in character for the last 20 years, except for the stupid stuff.

But maybe that's a huge carve-out and this is how every generation felt.

It's interesting to think about what we mean when we say ...

I did find this: Al Sharpton described Dem behavior as being a rope-a-dope, before Carville suggested it as actual strategy.

Still no clarity on whether it's an intentional strategy. Either way, it's not a good look. Looks more like accelerationism and "herd immunity" strategy.

[quote]Beyond speed, the digital RMB’s built-in compliance tools are drawing global attention. Its blockchain architecture enforces anti-money laundering protocols automatically, reducing fraud risks while maintaining traceability. [ . . . ]
Analysts describe the system as a turn point in international settlement system, where blockchain efficiency will challenges the sluggish, costly mechanisms of traditional banking. [ . . . ] China has effectively weaponized blockchain technology to challenge SWIFT and dollar dominance.

The dramatic reduction in transaction times and costs, combined with programmable compliance features and integration into strategic infrastructure like the Belt and Road, presents a credible and scalable alternative to the traditional financial system.[/quote]
