I'll assume you're genuinely ignorant and not asking rhetorical questions here. In which caseWikipedia gives a good starting point.
Egypt:
> Muslim rulers nominated by the Islamic Caliphate remained in control of Egypt for the next six centuries, with Cairo as the seat of the Caliphate under the Fatimids. With the end of the Kurdish Ayyubid dynasty, the Mamluks, a Turco-Circassian military caste, took control about AD 1250. By the late 13th century, Egypt linked the Red Sea, India, Malaya, and East Indies.[21] The Greek and Coptic languages and cultures went into a steep decline
> After the 15th century, the Ottoman invasion pushed the Egyptian system into decline. The defensive militarization damaged its civil society and economic institutions.[21] The weakening of the economic system combined with the effects of the plague left Egypt vulnerable to foreign invasion. Portuguese traders took over their trade.[21] Egypt suffered six famines between 1687 and 1731.[23] The 1784 famine cost it roughly one-sixth of its population.[24]
India similarly, it's full of wars and empires and atrocities and disasters. Hope this helps.
It wasn't. The main purpose of the original space race was to develop capabilities to put satellites in orbit and to be able to deliver nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles, which both countries considered (rightly or wrongly) to be existential necessities.
They generally found messes and left messes, sometimes better sometimes worse (depending on who you ask). You didn't think the Middle East, South America, Africa, subcontinent etc everyone just sat around singing kumbaya until "colonialists" came along did you?
The "noble savage" is a thoroughly debunked, backward idea.
And it's entirely possible to use different software names for projects that implement a compatible API or service, the claim that it's for compatibility is pretty bogus. It's not "standard", especially not for an adversarial fork. And that's not why the alternatives system exists, the alternatives system exists so differently named packages can implement a particular service (i.e., exactly the opposite, for the equivalent in shell commands). So that's underhanded.
However creating a fork with the same acronym and name for the daemon or binaries or whatever seems pretty under-handed.
Was a release announcement for the original software moderated, on a list where release announcements had been posted without moderation before the fork? Was the author banned from lists?
What is the problem if they could be translated to a working chip? A C program contains no instructions the machine can use and yet you can compile an open source program with a closed source compiler.
Corporations are absolutely involved in oppressing people at the behest of government or other ruling class, yes. If you were deluded into thinking otherwise.
You're okay if the government privatizes certain "problematic" services it provides and allows the now private organization to violate peoples' rights?
So, you want to teach your kid all kinds of hateful weird cult theories from a young age. That's incredibly weird and almost nobody else would think that's a good idea, so I really can't see how you can possibly think you can speak with total authority on the matter ("that is exactly how you develop it", etc.).
You are firmly an N=1 case here. I'm not going to argue the merits of your teaching ideas any more because it's clear you believe in them, but if you don't realize your ideas are pretty extreme and fringe, then you should.
"Let me monitor and censor your private speech otherwise you won't be able to communicate with your friends and family on our platform they all use."
The apologetics for corporate-government fascism digust me. No, it's not okay for the ruling class to contract out their oppression to corporations any more than it is for them to use the government for that purpose.
I hear lots of amazing sounds (and accompanying self congratulation) from the EU when it comes to "human rights". Time and time again though, they prove they're not actually interested in human rights or interests of their own citizens.
Which means all their other cries of human rights about other issues are empty crocodile tears. Even when it may happen that the side they take is a good one from a human rights perspective, that's obviously purely by coincidence that it happens to align with their agenda.
If you were that concerned exactly following the rules that change on a daily basis and are so difficult to decipher, why would you trust a journalist to get it right for you? What country, by the way, I'd like to see these crazy rules for myself.
And by over complicating it, I'm talking about this exponential backoff algorithm. You can read the news if you want, don't feel bad about it. Nothing bad is going to happen and you won't miss out on much if you don't though. And I promise you you would spend more time scouring the news for 9/11 type events than you would spend stuck in airports due to said events because you didn't read the news.
Outside these gangs, what is the murder rate like though? Surely still many times higher than Canada or Europe with all the rednecks and white supremacists and school shooters.
