Do you actually hold this position in all situations? It was illegal to harbor Jewish fugitives in Nazi Germany, should those laws be respected?
When you say “no, of course not”, maybe actually consider what your position is before posting. Because nobody’s position is to just “respect laws” in all circumstances.
That’s the idea, but in practice since the data exists independently on each server, it takes network time and computational time for them to align. In practice I expect comments to function as you expect, and upvotes to be slightly off depending on which instance you’re viewing from.
Things get a bit more weird when an instance gets defederated from another instance. My understanding here is that if you have instance A defederate from instance B, but instance B was listening to some of instance A’s communities, that instance B will have an independent replica of that community that doesn’t sync (this happened when beehaw defederated from open registration instances like lemmy.world).
No, they use ActivityPub underneath, so you can go to kbin/mastodon communities/users/etc. from Lemmy and vice versa.
Authoritarian state capitalism is different than liberal capitalism, I wasn’t trying to say they’re the same as the U.S, and you correctly outlined some differences that I agree with.
As for beliefs, I also recognize many Chinese people believe they have socialism, just like many Americans believe that we live in a free democratic first world country. The similarity here is that both these takes are just state propaganda that have been successfully fed to the masses.
China has successfully reverted anything remotely socialist about the country over the last 40 years. Like I’ve said previously, I recognize one day they might flip the switch, eliminate all the landlords & business owners, seize the means of production, and dissolve the State. I don’t believe this will happen though, and they’ve made no indication of even moving vaguely in this direction.
If/when the day arrives that the workers own the means of production and are no longer wage slaves to a bourgeoise class, they will have successfully installed socialism. Before that day comes you can’t just execute a few billionaires and claim you have socialism, if you’re at all concerned with the true state of things.
I didn’t tell anyone how to run anything, I pointed out how they’re an entirely capitalist nation that pretends to be socialist. Maybe the current authoritarian regime will suddenly revert all the market reforms they’ve implemented over the last 3-4 decades, seize the means of production, and then dissolve the state when it’s no longer needed.
I don’t believe this will happen, and I don’t think many people do. Most of the “socialists” that support China are more than happy with the bourgeoise class existing and exploiting working class people “for the betterment of the State”. This kind of thinking falls much more in line with Mussolini than Marx.
“core values of socialism”? Like reintroducing landleeches after they were outlawed? Like allowing the bourgeoise to own the means of production and exploit the over a billion working class Chinese people in horrible conditions? Using the profit motive to “incentivize entrepreneurship”?
China is the epitome of SINO, they’re an authoritarian capitalist regime.
For people unfamiliar with the vim ecosystem (I assume that’s at least part of the down votes), it’s actually much closer than you’d expect. If you’re only familiar with vi/vim, nvim customizations are essentially on feature parity with vscode, with the added benefit of the vim-first bindings.
What you have to do is install a customized neovim environment. Lunarvim, astrovim, nvchad, etc. Most of them have single line installation options for Linux, and then it comes with a bunch of plugins that will pretty much match whatever you’d find with vscode extensions.
