Are you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

  1. Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
  2. I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
  3. IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).

The wilipedia article was an interesting read. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre

On 2 June, Deng Xiaoping and several party elders met with the three PSC members—Li Peng, Qiao Shi, and Yao Yilin—who remained after Zhao Ziyang and Hu Qili had been ousted. The committee members agreed to clear the square so "the riot can be halted and order be restored to the Capital". They also agreed that the square needed to be cleared as peacefully as possible; but if protesters did not cooperate, the troops would be authorized to use force to complete the job.

According to Ezra Vogel, Deng at 2:50pm told General Chi Haotian that his troops could use all possible methods to clear the square.

On 9 June, Deng Xiaoping, appearing in public for the first time since the protests began, delivered a speech praising the "martyrs" (PLA soldiers who had died). Deng stated that the goal of the student movement was to overthrow the party and the state. Of the protesters, Deng said: "Their goal is to establish a totally Western-dependent bourgeois republic." Deng argued that protesters had complained about corruption to cover their real motive, replacing the socialist system. He said that "the entire imperialist Western world plans to make all socialist countries discard the socialist road and then bring them under the monopoly of international capital and onto the capitalist road."

It's a wild guess, but try to disable Bluetooth or WiFi before suspending.

It's doesn't happen with all hardware, but it is a knowing issue.

Great point, I always consider dependencies from a security perspective, but for management/setup sometimes I am like "the devops are going to figure it out"...

To clarify, would an example be supporting sqlite, so people won't have to deploy postgres unless they need to?

My plan is to offer a docker-compose configuration people can tinker with. I had the mindset that whatever happens in the container stays in the container, but your comment made me realize I should be mindful of other installation methods. Thanks 🙏

We have universal health care, though it is severely underfunded, and the government is trying to privatize it.

Deeply fucked priorities it is indeed.

The wait times for ambulances are horrific, last month there were 3 stories of an ambulance arriving more than 2 hours later only to pickup a corpse.

We tend to avoid them at night, because night fares are expensive and there are safety concerns for women (sexism is so fun 🤬). But, in an emergency they are an option we would consider.

I am guessing you didn't add enough "big corps bad".

I am a software engineer myself, I am interested in contributing. Is there a matrix group or something equivalent I can join?

I cannot upvote enough, I just heard distance is a problem and I needed a kind stranger (like you) to explain why that's not a problem.

Got any references for me to read? I would like to learn more

PS fuck capitalism

Is a global distribution grid even possible? Isn't distance a huge problem when transporting energy?
