Fascinating country.
It's worth more than one visit, just due to its huge diversity. Food is amazing, and it's very lively. But you have to get used to it, and go with the flow. If you can't live without all the first world luxuries and/or don't feel comfortable stepping outside your bubble, don't go, it's not the place for you.
Would I live there? No. And I'm deeply saddened by the political direction it's heading in. But don't form opinions about countries you've never been to.
The term goes back to the 50s and 60s, hardly a buzzword.
Sorry to tell you, but you've been living under a rock.
I've always leaned left, and not in the "American Democrat" way. I've read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Luxemburg, etc. Not that I agree with them on everything, but they make good points.
But every day I see tankies defend Russia just because it's not the US, I feel like I'm moving more center just out of spite.
I've had a tankie acuse me of being libelous against North Korea by mentioning their human rights abuses.
When I presented links to the UN's reports on the subject, they just got stuck in a loop asking for sources for my claims.
They have to beat the UK, Japan, and Germany.
None are economies on the rise (and the UK is doing poorly, they might already have surpassed them).
Wouldn't be surprised if it eventually happens, but beating all 3 in five years might be a stretch.
EDIT: this is nominal GDP. They will definitely not reach the same GDP per capita anytime soon.
Tankie propaganda on lemmy?
I'm shocked. /s
Wait... Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?
Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?
Less storage space (since you don't duplicate the data that has not been changed since the last backup), and ability to check different versions / restore / rollback.
Do you have some source for that?
I can't see an old laptop running 24/7 as being close to a raspberry pi performing the same tasks.
Agree on RSS.
Don't have enough experience with XMPP.
IRC is not a secure protocol, I think matrix takes the cake there. (although I really miss IRC)
Lemmy and Reddit do have an upvote feature and aggregation across different topics / communites, which I think it's what old school forums lacked.
I assumed that was riding the wave, not creating it.
Polyamory is already mainly an upper class thing.
You are hard-pressed to find poly groups in rural areas and blue collar workers. It's usually first-world college educated urbanites.
