- Comment on Is it a common thing for people who have left authoritarian countries to still feel the fear of their now-former country? 2 weeks ago:
Poland is an example that I know of, and again this thread is not about refugees. Feeling threatened and not safe is not enough to be considered one. You’ve just changed your stance completely in two posts while doubling down on irrelevant parts. And no moving from usa somewhere and moving from irrelevant country somewhere are completely different experiences with completely different attitudes to the people that are trying to move. That’s not even funny how different they are and how easy a person from usa would have it compared to any non-firstworld country.

People in boats are absolute minority of people moving to other countries, and applying for visa is a normal way of moving countries.And climate and refugees has nothing to do with the post where a chinese person in usa asks how can they move to another country. And no most countries do not require proof of wealth for work visa, some even allow to work start working and apply for visa later e.g. Poland.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but that’s how people move to other countries. Getting refugee status is either for extremely privileged or extremely desperate. And moving out of your own volition from usa isn’t the second case.

Air controlling any gaseous substance and water any liquid would have been cool. By the way can waterbenders bend steam? Or change phase from ive to water to steam?

Move like a normal person, as in applybfor work visa and find a work.

- Unless you are somewhat interesting individual no one from china is looking into your post history;
- Yes, it’s normal to fear retribution from authoritarian shiholes, these fears are mostly irrational ofc.;
- Move out of US.

Well, you’ve got an answer to your question in a way. 🙃 But serously, it’s not like authoritarianism is inherently bad or evil. Power, especially unlimited, attracts mostly antisocial people.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s not inherently bad.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Caucasian itself is a very US term, in the sense that most of so called caucasians aren’t as white as northern europeans. Indians are caucasians, northern africans are caucasians, caucasians are caucasians, southern europeans, turks. Most of these people are ‘white’ but not ‘US white’.

That’s because most of latin america is mixed with huge percent of population being mestizos. When almost everyone can claim that they are white/black skin color becomes irrelevant. And they were colonized by different people with different culture.
- Comment on Is using MicroSD cards a good way to store data that you can destroy quickly incase an adversary is about to seize control of it? 3 weeks ago:
Soldiers don’t look for your sdcards, they shoot people. If you are planning on moving through block posts where your things are cheked it’s better for you not to have weird sdcards either broken or not. But you can have one in your phone. There are ways to hide encrypted data so it won’t be detected e.g. veracrypt hidden volumes.

- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 3 weeks ago:
There are truly open llm, there are somewhat open. If you are asking about firefox translate, it seems that models themselves weren’t trained by mozilla.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 3 weeks ago:
Firefox translate isn’t an llm afaik. Anyway, why wouldn’t they? LLMs aren’t inherently good or bad, they are useful, and pushing for offline local first ai is a good thing.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 3 weeks ago:
There is no ai in ai, it’s just a program. In case of firefox translations it was made specifically for machine translation and later adapted to use with firefox browser.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 3 weeks ago:
Actually translations are great and they were needed.

You can try to improve yourself instead of saying that you aren’t able to do something.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
You can use it with wifi, I just view phones as computers, so not using them for whatever is weird to me. If someone wants to download torrents they should go for it.

When you celebrate layoffs at a studio because the game that you don’t like didn’t do that well, you’re crossing a line
No you don’t? If you do a bad job and get fired for it, it’s not crossing the line just consequences of doing bad job. Your circumstances aren’t really relevant here, just own your mistakes and move on.

- Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ? 1 month ago:
There also are multiple rivers with danu root, that also means river: danube, donets, don. People aren’t exceptionally good at naming in general, so “hill” hill and “river” river. 😄
- Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ? 1 month ago:
They didn’t, a lot of shared places, or land features have different names in differsnt languages and different places. Agreements happen when something either didn’t have a name before, or when the name came from the past.
