I guess because Russia and China, the countries they worked in, think Westerners can code better than North Koreans?

I don’t know if I’d call it a scam so much as slavery.

I don’t get it, why the inquisitive fave?

an anti-n korea org

No, an organization that advocates for North Korean human rights. That’s a pro-north korea org.

You gonna tell me that people who have a problem with Pol Pot are “Anti-Cambodian”, Mr “.ml”?

The reason China spreads so much propaganda about North Korea actually being totally normal and everything bad you hear about it actually being CIA propaganda lies/because of western sanctions, is because they don’t want to admit any responsibility for being the largest trading partner to a despotic authoritarian regime.

That’s why you only see this kind of weird denialism around North Korea, and not the other places with shitty leaders and backwards authoritarian laws.

You are repeating Chinese propaganda. You need to understand North Korea isn’t socialist. China isn’t socialist. And just because America, a country that has done a lot of anti-socialist shitty things, says that North Korea is run by a despot, doesn’t mean they’re wrong. North Korea is run by a despot. Just because people have said things about North Korea that have been proven wrong, doesn’t mean everything ever said about North Korea is wrong.

i want to have that conversation, tell me about the good features and choices

Yeah but then you can’t run Xbox Games Pass or anything fun like that.

I can do that but I don’t wanna - Bart Simpson

Don’t they already do this in most of Europe?

Just do what we do in Canada. Send them threatening letters. It scares 90% of parents into telling their kids to knock that shit off, but they’re toothless and can’t actually do anything, and the remaining 10% still pirate away. Everyone’s happy.

I just hit submit and it spat me back out to the new posts, but mine wasn’t there.

I wasn’t trying to directly upload an image, just directly link to an imgur gifv.

What about !diyelectronics@programming.dev?

I tried there but my posts never showed up. Tried twice. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m on old.lemmy.world so it looks like old reddit.

Hey thanks, I’ve got tons of cool projects and gifs like these, and I love to share them and read the comments, but I don’t know where to post them on Lemmy. I used to post them to Reddit but they started shadowbanning my github for some reason. Didn’t even find out until the ESP32 mod messaged me and was like “we can’t even manually approve your posts”.

Meanwhile here I am installing ESP32C3’s into everything in my house to automate everything.

I can turn on my floor heat, hallway light, or even open a vent from an app on my phone. And bonus, no shady manufacturers to spy on me. Just China.

a microcontroller with WiFi like the ESP8266 or ESP32-C3 costs less than an accurate hygrometer chip

No it doesn’t. Those micros go for $1-2 bulk, but capacitive hygrometers are 10x cheaper.

Starts getting slower and slower over months, then yeah starts failing to boot, sometimes works if you pull the battery and retry, and eventually doesn’t work at all anymore.

All my old devices became unusable due to the flash memory chip degrading. Unless they can run off SD card?

Because there’s fewer foreign bots trying to make you hate everyone in your country, and fewer social media engagement bots trying to make sure you stay online arguing with someone.
