    you’re welcome.

    Something i struggled with in the beginning;

    How it works;

    • you pick an account name, (short and cryptic)
    • it checks if it’s unique. if so, then it generates an SSL style certificate. This is your identity and contains a private key and only exists on your device. This thing acts as your password and identity. Losing this thing is fatal. nobody else has a copy. So you have to back it up yourself. There’s an option in the app to back it up. (it is saved in some zip format)
    • then you enter a screen name.
    • you can install your identity in any amount of devices. But you can also easily give every device it’s own account.

    i use this app on my devices(telephones, laptops), so that i can easily share any file (photo and documents) between them. photo’s are sent losless, unlike whatsapp.

    Oh… and another thing;

    Because it’s serverless technology, it’s dependant on all other nodes in the system to form a mesh.

    Whenever a node switches networks (e.g. when the software is running on a cellphone and you switch from WiFi to cell-band, or you’re switching cell towers), then it has to re-initialize with its peers under the new IP address.

    in such case it helps when, from your profile-settings, you switch your profile off and on again.

    I can only say that this really happened to my brother.

    Did you know that ivermectin is mainly a product for humans, and received the nobel prize in 2015? it’s not as bad as we were told during covid. Also, Merck sponsored mectizan for human use to African countries since 1987(see mectizan.org). Too bad though that the human product was banned in the US, and because of that people went as far as taking the animal grade stuff.

    What strikes me… They had zero evidence of harm for use of human-grade ivermectin with covid, but they banned it. But they also had zero evidence of paracetamols effect on covid, but they adviced it for treatment.

    indeed. not horsepaste, just the pills for human use.

    My brother had 10 days covid and was bedridden. i called him, and i was dumbfounded that he was so sick for that long and thinking he would recover without any intervention. his judgment was clearly impaired… His test came back positive the 11th day. we arranged a knowledgeable GP. they subscribed ivermectin(against virus) and antibiotics(against pneumonia). The 12th day at evening(as soon as he had the medicines) he began his regimen. within 4 days he was back on his feet.

    Fyi: those pills have been shipped to Africa at almost no costs since 1987 to fight riverblindness. You can read company’s history here: https://mectizan.org/

  • roho@lemmy.mltoPolitics@lemmy.ml•Ai Weiwei Says Western Censorship Is ‘More Concealed’ and Poses a Greater Threat

    “In the context of censorship in the West, there was a prevailing illusion that the West embodied greater freedom of speech and press, portraying itself as a society with minimal censorship. Yet, I believe that censorship persists wherever there is power.”

    Indeed

    Censorship, in fact, arises from the vulnerability of power

    Which then suggests that that kind of ‘power’ is without any trust in the moral fiber of society. And if moral fiber indeed is lacking, that i.m.o. would be the place to start building.

    western censorship is ‘more concealed’

    The topic mentioned in the article is not what i’m talking about, but indeed; i know a few other topics for which i’ve been shadowbanned/censored/banned on various platforms. Sadly… including this one. A dialogue trying to learn eachothers reasons is not happening a lot anywhere
