• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks she's exaggerating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  she’s known to lie a lot. see this page for example… (use translator)

  i know life in north korea is genuinely awful in many ways but that person just straight out lied too many times. defo not worth the attention they get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I was on Windows 7 and couldn't change my OS, what VPN should I use to bypass censorship? If I shouldn't use a VPN, what would be a better way to bypass censorship?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  USA? then you can just use wireguard since it’s not blocked by the government

  (china mainland for example blocks wireguard protocol)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe also AP News? not really a news outlet but i also have MBFC and Lead Stories

  i use freshrss’s extractor to get feeds from sites without rss/atom and also for full text instead of short intro, might be useful for you too

  i mean i’m not in the US but still it seems like a decent place than many other places in the world. maybe i’m affected by propaganda lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  is it really that bad…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are North Koreans who escape to the South integrate, like what do they do for work, home, etc?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  do you speak korean? i’m a native (south) korean speaker. i have no problem understanding north korean propaganda tv/newspaper. have also interacted with north korean defectors few times. surely there’s differences but they’re not “very different”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people who escape North Korea to South Korea? Considering the DMZ is nothing but a huge minefield, how do they navigate that?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  namu.wiki/w/탈북/과정과 사례

  i recommend reading this page with a translator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are North Koreans who escape to the South integrate, like what do they do for work, home, etc?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  languages are different between the two countries

  they aren’t, there’s very little difference in the language. minor differences in intonation and vocabs, but that’s same for every different dialects (even only considering south korea).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are North Koreans who escape to the South integrate, like what do they do for work, home, etc?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you ever been to korea? i’m (south) korean and live here, there are certainly many negative aspects of this country like any other but i wouldn’t say it’s a “terrifying/scary hypercapitalist place”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I identify someone who has deleted their post?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this is not really a solution and it’s not gonna work if you use an app. but i just use this browser addon+@ called hoardy web to save every page i visit locally. then i can revisit that page later on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Nostr work, and what are the pros/cons compared to ActivityPub?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  everything from your car to your TV to your coffee maker has an embedded microprocessor in it now. I think embedded software is a safe bet

  tbh, most of those uses prioritize being cheap over anything else and doesn’t really make a lot of money. mostly already developed with cheap labor in china/india/etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i highly doubt investing in old mainframe stuff is a good idea long term

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Google discover public links of Claude chats?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i believe the links were posted somewhere public… even if it’s that google i highly doubt they would put things from people’s browsing history or mailbox onto public search index
