About Instagram, I've had an account there for eight years. It was created so I could follow my then-girlfriend, who posts occasionally, and is today my partner and mother of my child. It's use is basically to keep tabs on that account and, very rarely, check in on trending stuff (say Azealia Banks when she makes the news, since she was booted off Twitter). I've never used the account to post anything and it follows just that one account since 2014.

And 3 is almost always conspiracy bs. They are "shadowbanned" but their tweets somehow get high engagement. It bs political complaints.

I've been a long-term subscriber to Google Play Music, now YouTube Music, and the change introduced and reinforced what you say. Each time I open the app it's to meet the same recommendations and automatic playlists; barely anything new. About time I got serious about transferring to Spotify.

Is it deliberate that you don't mention Hitler, Nazism, and WW2?

These seem to be requirements in certain jurisdictions and not universal. I have never been asked to verify myself for YouTube, or for my phone number, and yet I am an admin for four channels. Maybe it's because Google already has those for my other accounts (Playstore, Gmail, and Pay).

What is web3? What exactly is it? And how could it be used in this case?

The USA is a big supporter of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which have waged a destructive war in Yemen. Ergo, the USA and it's leaders are largely responsible for what has happened in Yemen. Yet I am sure that you would argue that Uganda is authoritarian but the USA is a "mature democracy".

Lol.

A huge chunk of the American intelligence leaked by WikiLeaks was collected by "diplomats".

So you've never read the WikiLeaks?

Uganda has a very capable domestic intelligence network and I would be surprised if all they were doing to these "diplomats" (spies for the US) is hacking into their phones. This has made the news, but it is the one of the least egregious things Museveni and his son - esp the son - have done in the past two or so years as they faced the strongest challenge to his rule ever yet. I am very sure that locals, particularly the opposition, had it much worse than American spies, although that most likely won't make the news.

Can you give an example of someone in his position who didn't receive due process?

>He always argued that he would not receive...

He is not special. He broke the law and he should face consequences like everyone else. Instead, he wants the world to dance to his tune.

No, she is not. Read the article and please stop fitting whatever you don't like into your world view.

The minority group is probably louder but if you've paid attention to demographics it's actually become smaller. But it should tell you a lot about your society that people are grudgingly treated with a little more respect only after they become "big and loud enough."

Not...

Ah, in your experience. I missed that, initially.

I meant to write "Not khat," which gives me the best inspiration ever (and a crash that lasts days when I get off of it).

What's wrong with 7-Zip? You don't need a crack for that.

I am from East Africa, and I know dozens of people -- including several close relatives -- who have died from it or have the virus. Ours is a generation of orphans, and chances are 90% that an orphan lost their parent[s] to HIV/Aids. Death, in the council estate I grew up in, was a very common occurrence, and it was usually due to HIV/Aids. Even today it is still a threat; it might be less deadly, but people are hit pretty hard, mentally.

So, I hate it. A cure that can be scaled up will be the best thing ever.

(Some might say that our people are careless and whatnot. Maybe. But HIV's spread is also driven by economic and gender factors, ignorance, and sometimes bad healthcare. A high prevalence rate doesn't help either -- because I don't believe that Africans are more sexual than anyone else.)
