Debt trapping, for example, laos.
Still a lot better than what the USA does - better to build out country’s infrastructure and then hold them ransom with the debt than bombing schools, but it doesn’t make them good or beyond criticism.
It’s like you forgot to read the question they’re answering.
Question: how is China imperialist like USA
Answer: here is how China is imperialist like USA
You: yeah, well USA does it too!
Literal definition of “no true Scotsman”

Something about the way he acts always gives me the ick. It feels like a mask.
Yeah I don’t wanna exclude other places for having shit universities for whatever reason - I just wanna comment on why it sucks in “the west” (by which I largely mean USA, Canada, western Europe).
The argument was “it happened before so it’s fine” which is an absurd argument, and I’m just pointing out the absurdity.
“You don’t get a choice so it’s fine” is also an absurd argument. If someone kidnapped me, bound me up, and expressed their intention to cut off my hand, then I would worry about it even if I had no choice. If you’re telling me you wouldn’t be worrying in that situation, you’re a liar or incredibly abnormal. Lack of choice plays nearly no part in the degree of worry.
What can help alleviate worry is knowledge, but here is a topic that is impossible to learn about.
I experienced getting kicked in the nuts as a kid, that did not make me less afraid of getting kicked in the nuts
I kinda agree, but mostly because western universities are being run like businesses first and educational institutions a distant second or third, and this is the inevitable outcome. Idk if other cultures have the same problem with their universities.
It’s more lucrative to sell degrees as status symbols and career checkboxes, than to sell education. This changes both their target market demographics, and their funding priorities.
Deleted my original reply because I was just splitting hairs. I mostly agree with you, I just don’t like the framing
They always present them as mutually exclusive, instead of related or reinforcing.


“openclaw” 👀👀👀
The reason people use SaaS is because they have someone to sue when something goes wrong and you lose days of revenue.
The call of someone who cries when people actually do get offended.
I have free speech to hurt you, but you don’t have free speech to hurt me
Kinda shit
For some reason I imagined him with like… A Bosnian or Hungarian accent or something
Huh, I haven’t heard of that. I know they did other stuff but I didn’t know that sloppy top was one of them. What about cunnilingus?
Who was the first man who was like “I wanna put my dick in the place for tearing meat”???


How do you set up private resources to reverse proxy like public resources? I don’t want to have to change URL when I turn on my pangolin client


I may end up doing extra reverse proxies just because complicated configuration is better than complicated use. It kinda feels like there should be a way to do it right in pangolin, it seems like it’s right there lol.


Pangolin is built on traefik, and does all the reverse proxying I need (X sub-domain goes to Y port on Z home server).
I don’t really like the idea of n metroyska reverse proxis, both because conceptually it bothers me, but also because my needs seem simple and doesn’t seem like it deserves the extra complexity. The public resource reverse proxy works for everything I have.
I’m looking for a way to configure pangolin, which already routes property, to skip auth when the auth can be provided by the pangolin client.
Then China should forgive the debt.
