That does not means the 3% just go "Yeah let's become Chinese".

And this is off-topic. The idea is simple: "China is culturally an ancient agrarian society focused more on defending farmland than conquering nation" does not stand. Conquering happens a lot on that land way before PRC is a thing.

No.

>China is culturally an ancient agrarian society focused more on defending farmland

is nonsense just like all the Chinese netizens who keep saying that "We Descendants of Yanhuang have 5000 years of history". Non-sense, PRC happened in 1949, and before that, it's a History of ethnicities from all over the land Conquer, Massacre, Annex and Integrate each other.

EDIT:

> China is not interested in controlling or imposing beliefs

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, they may have different culture even religion, what do you think how China managed to make sure all 55 other then Han stay under control?

I'm Taiwanese, I don't agree.

The fundamental problem with Web3 IMO is that in a perfect web3 world, if your address/hash/id is compromised, you lost everything.

Most people are not ready for this kind of responsibility--living without social contract. (Maybe I am using wrong words)

Lack of mods is a big problem...

Minecraft itself it good enough for... pure Minecraft gamplay most of the time.

But it can overwhelm itself. There's a equipment called Elytra you can wear to slide down the air, and if you use Rocket when sliding, you gain a huge momentum boost.

If you keep boosting on a server, being fast enough to challenge the serverside world-loading, you can crash the server.

Another big defect is it's rendering is deeply tied to cpu time, and the game itself has limitation. My recent experience with a 200+ mods & shader setup is that with RTX3080TI (also better cpu) and GTX980TI it runs at same fps (20~30).

There's a browser plugin named Decentraleyes does this.

Well, Minecraft is notoriously slow, but I guess that's very much nothing to do with Java, but the un-optimized code... Have seen quite some developers criticizing Mojang for this.

There is a social app of similar idea called Slowly.

The time cost for "letters" to be delivered depends on the distance between personal selected location.

My recent experience of keeping 1000 tabs around and auto unloaded (managed by Sidebery, a vertical tab bar plugin), is that it usually occupies 3~5 GBs.

It's interesting to see comments like "It's 2021 why can't you get Linux, you should or you are not qualified for a dev or even a CS student".

Though I manage my own cent VM, I'm really satisfied with my Windows environment, I can code in so many Languages and do so many things swiftly and easily on my delicately tinkered OS, why would I give it up to just code Crystal?

I've been using Firefox for like over 10 years I guess.

It's just the best browser for me, I can hack the browser UI, freely arrange the buttons and bars, and I keep 10s of plugins installed to comfortably browse, learn and work.

Recently one of my friends got suspended for he commented like "LMAO" in our language. This sort of low quality audits combined with the fact that in Taiwan the auditors are severely biased toward China, make it harmful on its own.
