Tor Bridges vs Snowflake? What's the difference? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

So Snowflake is apparantly harder to censor? But if I run a Snowflake on my home internet, and my home internet never changes its IP address (my home internet has the same IP address for like months at a time), so once a goverment finds out my IP, they would block it, so its not much different from a Tor Bridge?

How is Snowflake harder to censor? Can someone explain it?

Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

An autocratic country could easily spread propaganda in the democratic country, because of "free speech" rules that most democratic countries have, but a democratic country cannot easily spread its propaganda in the autocratic country.

An autocratic country can buy an election in the democratic country, but the democratic country cannot easily coup an autocratic country.

Are all democracies are doomed to fail?

Is the future of humanity, autocracy? For the rest of humanity's existence?

How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I have a feeling they're gonna charge like $200 to $400 more then blame the regulators.

If you murder murderers, do you get closer to The Good Place, or closer to The Bad Place? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

If you murdered every murderer, you should get enough points to go to The Good Place, right?

Hypothetically speaking of course. I'm obliged by lemmy.world rules to state that I do not condone murder. 😉

The Game Theory of Ransoms: If your loved one was being held for ransom, would you pay? Conversely, if you are the kidnapper, would you release the hostage once you receive payment? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

When people in constitutional monarchies pledge loyalty to the monarch, is it actually for real, or just symbolic / a pro-forma thing? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Especially in cases of Naturalization.

Like, if the monarch goes against the constitution, do you fight for the monarch, or defend the parliament/cabinet?

🤔

Edit:

UK Oath:

I, (name), swear by Almighty God that, on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles III, his Heirs and Successors, according to law.

Canada (A British Commonwealth) Oath:

I swear (or affirm) That I will be faithful And bear true allegiance To His Majesty King Charles the Third King of Canada His Heirs and Successors And that I will faithfully observe The laws of Canada Including the Constitution Which recognizes and affirms The Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples And fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.

So...

🤔

I mean on the one hand, they are more democratic than the US, on the other hand, symbolically, it just feels wrong to me.

I don't mind pledging allegience to a constitution, but to a monarch... is quite... uncomfortable, even if its a Constitutional Monarchy. 🤔

The internet no longer exists, and replace by separate unmoderated chat-rooms for each city/town/village; What does your chatroom look like? What do you think other chatrooms will look like? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

To re-iterate, every place gets their own separate room. You must be physically in a place to join their chatroom.

Why does Big Tech's "End to End" encryption matter if they are compromised anyways? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Like, there's a lot of people freaking out about Apple ending End to End encryption in iCloud in UK. I'm just like: So What? It was probably backdoored from the beginning

So is Big Tech's E2E actually not backdoored? Or is that just a PR stunt to trick people into trusting iCloud, and this is a secret honeypot? 🤔

What are your thoughts?
