I’d recommend you to learn about Bismark model before arguing. Germans pay more per capita, sure, but their healthcare also includes full dental care and plenty of strategic excess to ensure that everyone gets treatment as soon as possible. That’s how Germany was able to support the UK and the rest of Europe with ventilators during the pandemic.
Well, private healthcare works really well in Germany. I’d love to see Britain switching to a similar style of healthcare.
You should re-read the original comment then.
First of all, it’s not a toy sword according to the law. Second, that guy was carrying it unsheathed. Third, he didn’t have a good reason to carry. But fourth, the most important thing, that guy is a known criminal who already served four years for burglary. He broke not a “community rule”, he broke multiple laws and is a known offender.
How else can one react to a person defending a violent criminal? Maybe you should remove such comments instead.

This is not a ridiculous crime, that guy is dumb af and dangerous.
No, my problem is snowflakes and governments.
No, what has ruined the internet are bloody snowflakes and censorship. Bring back rotten.com and Rate My Poo!
I know how React Native works and it doesn’t fix anything. For example, if the underlying toolkit punishes you for deep nesting - you’re still fucked. Google recommends to have 10 or less levels of nesting, which is bonkers to any web developer. There is similar advice for iOS, Mac and Windows (not sure about GTK and Qt, haven’t used them for over a decade). Each platform has its own solution, so you end up with custom code for each and at that point or doesn’t matter if you’re coding in C or JS.
I vote for nanoid.
There are several issues with native development without a browser layer.
First of all, native UI toolkits are very different and making a robust cross platform app is pretty much impossible. So, the traditional approach is to use one toolkit, which will be native to one platform, and then let your other users deal with it. For example, GTK apps on Windows and Mac look and feel like shit.
Another approach is to use a custom cross platform toolkit, which doesn’t use anything native at all. If enough work and thought is put in such application, it can be a very pleasant experience. But often it’s shit for all users.
The second issue is that it can be quite hard to manage fluid window sizes and to build a proper responsive UI with native toolkits. Some are better at it, some are worse. Native toolkits also tend to punish developers for deep nesting of components making UI development even more painful.
HTML + CSS solves all that. It’s responsive by design, everyone is used to web apps already, nesting is not a problem at all, etc.
The main thing keeping people inside is that they cannot leave NK anymore. NK government did a complete border lockdown during the pandemic and they managed to sign a deal with China and Russia that every defector will be caught and brought back to NK. The only way out now is through the sea and that’s a death sentence.
Because no one wants to pay for anything.
They will also have a chance to defect and then finally have a life somewhere in Europe. Or maybe even migrate to South Korea later on.
The difference between the czar and Putin is that many people in Russia are (or were, before the war) living a decently good life. But back in the days if you were not an aristocrat, you were pretty much a slave living in utterly horrible conditions. Wikipedia can give you a quick overview of 19th century - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia
In short: non stop wars with everyone (over 1m civilian peasants died in just 1812 alone), serfdom (literally slavery in the case of the Russian Empire) was only abolished in 1861, Russians endured SIX cholera pandemics during the century before the revolution with millions dead, there was a massive famine at the turn of the century, and lack of industrialisation meant that the economy of Russian Empire was dying. The late Russian Empire was a meat grinder, people had nothing to lose. And they knew that they will die soon anyways, either from famine, physical abuse or an illness.
Please stop whitewashing a genocide.
You’re getting sideways.
