Interesting point of view. I’ll think on it.

After some reading, I realize my mistake. It’s not segregation, it’s self-segregation, as per: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-segregation

Agreed that it is not the legal definition of segregation. It is segregation by choice in my own opinion. Because we refuse to move forwards as a world.

Yay! Segregation again!!! /s I guess we go backwards because people are incapable of moving forwards.

You may want to try and put some prompts yourself into chatGPT to see the results without making an uninformed comment based on what you perceive chatGPT will do/answer.

The difference between Tianamen and things that have happened, like the gulf war etc. is that we are allowed to discuss disparate views without being thrown in jail. And tools/toys like chatGPT are allowed to try to write an opinion on them.

Agreed, but not a “charge overnight for years” but no degradation at all.

Impossible for battery health to be at 100% after years. May still be working great, but not 100%.

A lot of computers people buy from box stores are preloaded and configured to use chrome as the default for many years. Newer prebuilt a May no longer do that, but I doubt it.

As godless has stated, and I was also using astril when I was in China. For a personal option, I am not aware of a personal vpn that also includes obfuscation and is not using blocked vpn technologies/techniques.

If you live in a country with the regular vpn protocols being blocked, you will need to be more specific with a vpn that obfuscates the network connection. Something like Astril or expressvpn will both have tunnel obfuscation. At that point it’s less about hiding your activity, and more about gaining access to other sites because I wouldn’t vouch for the privacy on those two vpns.

Please re-read the original post re: tailscale.

Thanks, I’m not sure how I missed their about page. I appreciate the links.

Is there any extra info about the solid option? I went to their site and thinking to see about running a server on my home brew server to try it out. But, searching for “solid” doesn’t provide much relevant results. I’m wondering questions like, Do your files/information become basically a cloud storage drive? Is there a reason to use the solid server instead of just a NAS/home brew server with wan access?
