Try asking your daughter to outline her desired career path and which degrees she needs for that.

Does she want to work as a medical professional? This university will not help her with that, as it is not accredited as a medical school.

  1. who says they don't?
  2. its probably not quite as erotic when there is an entire crew pointing lights, cameras and microphones at you, and a director giving you instructions

It's really more of a contract, "I promise to carry and raise your children, you promise to provide the money" That's why throughout much of history, you couldn't get divorced, it wasn't about love, it was about security.

Nowadays marriage isn't really as important as before, but still relevant. For women, having a child usually still means making career sacrifices.

We shouldn't confuse the effectiveness of these protests with their legality. Yes, the protests moved the government to change its approach to prevent even more unrest. Still, the CCP considered them to be illegal and reacted with force, arresting participants or those that spread information about the protests.

Of course, that is also not what I would consider 'publicly or vocally'.

I have a Taiwanese friend who is very much anti-CCP, but he does go to china for vacation every now and then.

Yes, you need to be in the right headspace, you cannot expect to vocally or publicly criticize the government and go unpunished. But politics are not everything. China is beautiful in many ways and has many great people. I think it would be a good idea to take the opportunity and make this experience. And afterwards, your opinions on china and the CCP will have a stronger foundation than they do now.

edit: you say you are politically active: is this evident from your social media accounts? That might be problematic.

The final vestige of joy being animal suffering?

Or animal wellbeing.

The code being public helps with spotting issues or backdoors.

In practice, "security by obscurity" doesn't really work. The code's security should hinge on the quality of the code itself, not on the amount of people that know it.

Considering how often I see nsfw or nsfl stuff because it wasn't tagged... no I don't think so, at least there doesn't seem to be anything widely adopted on Lemmy.

For images at least it should be possible to create a bot that downloads any uploaded image, runs it through an API like Sightengine, and then automatically removes posts or bans users. Each instance would then of course decide whether to set up such a bot, so there is not going to be any fediverse-wide automod.
