Fairphone is sold and supported in NA, hope they will carry fairphone 5 as well: https://mander.xyz/comment/2699680

I will lose every water bottle that I brought out of my home, so I just reuse the bottles of bottled waters. If I dont lose it, I will replace it every 3-5 months depends on the usage and weather.

I have couple durable, metal, and dishwasher-safe stanley and hydroflask bottles at home. They should be couple years old, but I am not keeping count.

10k just for not paying for stuff? I can still watch youtube, play free games. But can I buy board games or books though? Or go out to restaurants? Buy groceries?

I am not a Chinese person in China, if that is what you are asking.

But I have been in China and communicate with Chinese for a good amount of my life, and I still regularly communicate with Chinese in and out of China (I hang out with more people out of China than inside China, since I am not in China).

What are some cool people on nebula? I know a good chunk of urban planning content creaters are on there. I have been thinkinf about moving these, just wish they can store my watch history local only, and ideally open-source their app.

It is not as much of a risk as some westerners think. Unless you are actually activists planning change, it is unlikely for CCP to disappear everyone that speaks against it; especially on non-Chinese platforms. On Chinese social media, on the other hand, dissents will be de-platformed quite quickly; I think some might receive couple warnings and/or threats before they are in physical danger.

However, it is not uncommon to hear about larger platforms being threatened by CCP with their own safetys or their families.

In the end, for many people, it is a large enough risk with barely any reward. Everyone knows CCP is oppressive: maybe not every western media report about China was fully truthful; but with these many reports, some have to be true. On the other hand, tankies aren’t going to change their mind because one anonymous “Chinese” on the internet speaks up against CCP. Speaking up against CCP really will not bring that much change, especially given the potential of putting themselves and their family at risk.

I dont have a reddit account anymore… So yeah…

Safety Recommendations: Quit Twitter.

Tomato sauce (in pasta al pomodoro) only requires tomato, salt, olive oil, and basil; everything else is optional: garlic, onion, herbs, chilli.

See the following recipes:

The italian videos have english sub titles. Besides cherry tomato, you can also try mutti tomato puree, it is not so expensive but very tasty.

Right, since letting big tech claim ownership of their stuff online has never gone wrong ever, cough cough, DRM.

Except all the bloat included in windows.

“communities” are what they are called.

Unfortunately, China’s firewall is a extremely robust technology. It is much more than just a DNS sink hole.

For example, it can block IP addresses (probably dynamically), like digital ocean or AWS. It can even block internet protocols, like TLS1.3 https://www.zdnet.com/article/china-is-now-blocking-all-encrypted-https-traffic-using-tls-1-3-and-esni/ . It can even block tor, a inernet protocol designed for anonymity and prevent censorship https://www.technologyreview.com/2012/04/04/186902/how-china-blocks-the-tor-anonymity-network/

It is truely disheartenng to see talented engineers working on this piece of oppressive technology. I imagine if they want to, it would be rather trivial to block most activitypub instance.

I have been a paying costumer for bitwarden for couple years, but now I am planning to switch to proton pass soon. $1 for unlimited email alias is simply too good.
