I think it’s worth taking the time to learn IPv6 property. If you have a good understanding of IPv4 it shouldn’t take you more than an afternoon.

Eliminating NAT and just using firewall rules (ie what NAT does behind your back) is incredibly freeing.

I don’t get people complaining about typing out IPs. I like to give all of my clients full FQDNs but you don’t have to. Just using mDNS would be enough to avoid typing a bunch of numbers.

You shouldn’t have to?? Maybe you might need to change the mask in your firewall settings if the ipv6 allocation block size changes but that should be it.

Everything else should just work as normal.

Imagine being so much of a Russophile that you are forced to defend MANDATORY antipsychotics for neurodiverse people.

I get disliking the west but this dose not mean one can ignore harm when you see it outside of the west.

That’s a a bit of an unfair characterization.

Never letting your child be indoctrinated or abused or harmed isn’t a bad thing at all.

State run is not the same as state influenced. You can’t honestly say they are equivalently influenced.

Also I will restate you posted a literal Facebook post. If you had a better source I know you would rather use that.

This link is to a Facebook post by the CCP controlled “China Central TV” network.

I would be interested in hearing more, but I’m sure you understand why a better source would be a necessity.

They changed the refund policy on the Linux phone that they sell.

At the time when the phone was under development they let people preorder in exchange for a small discount. Many people including myself wanted to support such a product and payed in. At the time the policy was you could get your money back any time before the phone shipped.

The phone was delayed for years and years and naturally people got impatient and demanded their money back.

Purism on the fly changed the policy and said you could only ask for your money back in a small window just before your phone shipped. Not before and if it shipped it was too late. They just refused to honor the original policy.

It was discovered that people could content the attorney General of California and the state would force them to honor the original policy. A lot of people, including myself did this.

The fact that it came to that makes them a shady company.

This all being said I am very happy they are profitable. While I would never preorder anything from them again, if they update the phone specs I would consider buying one.

More Linux first companies is a good thing.

Schwip Schwap is my favorite. Mountain Dew is also quite nice when I can find it.

I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so.

The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too.

I really appreciate your super stark pro libre software attitude. I want to support you here. You should know that the approach you are taking is ultra abrasive and would probably cause more harm than help.

People would just associate libre software with militant weirdos, if all they saw where your posts.

If you want to make meaningful change I strongly recommend taking a softer less abrasive approach.

We want libre software to be connected with safety, friendliness and personal autonomy, not militarism, chanted phrases, and dogma.

Even on Lemmy the ultra pro libre software social network (relative to non federated networks) your current approach is off putting. I want you to succeed and I think a different approach may be better.

Just my two cents.

I’m glad. :) And worry not. I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy.

If that’s how you feel about it, then it may be a cudgel against you. But I am certain you do see and have seen people who proudly self label as tankies.

Nothing wrong with that.
