    Do you, a community member, organize with other community members to exclude the non-masker from social events and community spaces until they decide to mask?

    Is that not hierarchical too?
    And what do you do if they do not allow themselves to be excluded from community spaces?

    Are you not bringing in hierarchy when you give yourself and your group the power to choose whether the person or group who disagrees should be excluded from community spaces?

    And what do you do when they do not agree? Do you jail them? Do you harm them or threaten violence?

    Are you not creating/exposing the hierarchy by choosing to exclude those parts of your community from community spaces for disagreeing with you?

    a doctor designated via the community as an expert and thus given narrow, organic, retractable social authority to do so, say “you need to wear a mask”?

    So, again a power hierarchy in the matter of medicine, where you a lay person has lesser power?

    And the people opposing the masking, will not be agreeing with that doctor, right? So not designated by the all of the community as a expert in that specific topic then.
    If the person acknowledged the expertise, then the issue would not persist, right?

    Do you threaten or propagandise someone that they would not oppose that position and obey it then? Power hierarchy again, right?


  • Why would not there be Stasi surveillance?

    Did not the Nazis have a decent amount of supporters in the populace? And did not kids learn Nazi ideology from schools n society when Nazi’s were ruling?

    Why would not the socialists who saw a lot of sacrifices to defeat Nazis have surveillance in a state that was freed from Nazism, but where people may have lingering Nazi support? There would be surveillance and other plans to ensure that Nazism does not come back.

    Also, added to that how the Capitalist/Imperialist powers were trying to sabotage them.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio#Germany

    But 200 to 1 seems inefficient. What was the number for West Germany? Were they more efficient? Did Western capitalist technology and co-operation with entities like Zee Eye Aye help them to reduce the numbers?
    Or were they less interested in such aspects?

    What is meant by power hierarchy?

    Anyway, asking about a scenario:

    If a pandemic happens and you have to mandate masks or would like to ask people to maintain social distancing, how would you do it? If you mandate and enforce it, you’ll form/expose the hierarchy, right?
    Even if it is a majority vs minority decision, if you enforce it, it’ll show a hierarchy by means of medical expertise or ability of enforcement, right? Or is it seen as natural or justified hierarchies?

    Even if you elect a rep and even if you have options for recall, for your rep to take decisions, you would be giving them power, right?
    Or is it whole organisation voting on each topic?

    do you think the problem power hierarchies solve can only be solved by power hierarchies?

    What are the other alternatives that are used, which do not have hierarchies to better solve the problems?

    resign ourselves to benevolent kings again"

    Not benevolent kings but recallable representatives would be the goal, right?

    In case of socialist experiments, when they are under imperialist threat and fear of sabotage, they may not be able to fully do that, but not benevolent kings.



  • Handy is Speech to Text, right?

    Are there any good options for voice typing, Speech to Text on android?
    I have tried Whisper which is FOSS and FUTO which is source available and uses a modified version of whisper, whisper-acft. FUTO’s is a bit more faster and accurate, so it is what I am using now.

    Tho, there do not seem to be good models for my mother tongue, Malayalam. I have found some, but they are often inaccurate and slower than manually typing.

    So, are there FOSS apps that may have that ability? Or would I have to create my own models? I do not have much programming experience, so thinking about using AI to compile datasets, explain the code etc



  • If they are forking it because of developers being Russian, is that not likely discriminatory? Are they forking software developed by USAmerican developers?

    If they are forking all major software they use, it would be natural. But if it is against one country alone, is it not discrimination?

    But fuck all three those countries

    And fuck the European countries too then, assuming that you are European and have left them out.
    I think most people ignore them, since they act like pro-democratic, while supporting genocides, invasions and conducting neocolonialism. Also, by not admitting remorse or apologu on evils conducted in their name. As an Indian, last week was the 107^th^ anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, so it is recently fresh on my mind with your comment saying fuck all those 3 countries.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh_massacre

    Tho, I too hope my country also starts to work more on reducing dependency on foreign tech in places where it can be avoided. So, agreeing on that part.



  • Aah. What would it be called?/

    If some people are grouping people in a country, and excluding them as punishment based on that ice ity, then what would it be called?

    And isn’t it bad?
    Like, would people support it if people asked for USAmerican developers to be excluded from apps aimed at children, because their president and former rulers were in groups with the pedo-trafficker Epstein and where they are even using a war(also for petrodollar, so not one objective only) to draw away attention?
    Or started forking apps to exclude such developers?

    What would it be called? Discrimination based on country of origin?

    What would sending it have looked like?

    Japan’s image being tarnished for the future? Doland asking more from Japan?
    Japanese people going against the action, when the people sent as Roland’s henchmen get repelled and injuries happen?

    Japan has no reason and it is also not their area
    Would’ve really hurt them
