a lot of meme level stuff that is going around on the net about Islam or Muslims is just that, bullshit memes.

and a lot of actual text that are part of islamic history kept by muslim scholars are just straight lies, which muslim scholar know that are false but keep them for record keeping. like a lot of hadiths from prophet are fabricated. for example after death of prophet some dude wanted to sell his onions and he paid a mullah (imam in mosque) some money to say that prophet said that whoever eats these kinds of onions get rewarded in afterlife. you know… fake news.

I am a (not a great) muslim from iran. the first time I heard about supposed 72 virgins was a stand up comedy from late comedian/actor Robin Williams that made fun of it.

and this marriage of mohammed to a small girl is not corroborate in any text that is not fake. for example in one text the girl sister age IS mentioned and then it is written that her sister (the girl) joined islam. but is she was 9 (not even 6 mentioned here) she should either not be born at that time or in her mothers womb.

the Revayats (saying of companions of prophets) point to her being either 19 or 17.

having said all of this, at that time marriage was done very early age (though Muhammad first wife was 40). for example one jewish tribe wanted to make a partnership with the muhammed so they send people over to offer a jewish woman for marriage. she was a widow so she was married before that event. twice. to jewish men. that jewish woman was 8 years old. mohammed didnt accept it.

I read somewhere that in history of England you see the first written record for enforcement of marriage age as follow. marriage : 7 years old. inheritance from husband in case of his death: 11 ( I think)

I don’t remember where I read that.

mohammed didn’t marry a 6 year old. sorry to ruin your fantasy.

yea, a lot of open source projects are done by people that don’t see the point of copyleft software.
I think a lot of people just go with the 4 freedoms that RMS laid out. when I read devs’ reasons to use non-copyleft license, it boils down to “I don’t want to limit freedom of later devs even if those devs are gonna fork it and make it private”. even when they say “I don’t care” they mean the same.

and they have the right to see it that way. my thinking is that humanity used to not have copyright at all. and the reason we are not living in caves is that knowledge mostly was spread (even when going from father to son only).

so I think software needs to go that way as much as it can.
I understand that developing software needs money and I even understand patents to an extent. but shit gone mad and patents are gone crazy. android is THE shining prime example of what happens even with a company that at least pretended not to go this way (that was naive to think they wouldn’t)

that’s why I going to write any software I write (even though I am just starting programing) in the most copyleft license ever I find.
maybe even more stalman than gpl3.

btw is there any site that explains the practical diff between gpl2 and 3? not tldr but not in details either, just maybe explain case base what happens?

as I said in last post, I only see copyleft as a viable alternative. too many dev efforts forked and privatized. android should have been a warning. but many devs just think open source is enough. and they still think getting adapted by big corporation will not change the direction of projects.

I am personally going in the direction of testing and helping only copyleft projects. so I skipped RedoxOS. even-though I like rust and new microkernel OSes.

If I am going to give my time to a project (small as it is) I don’t want it to end up like android.

“Many Western nations have mirrored this in turn” sure… “china” started this and west “mirrored”

my hot take: while this is good for users in short term, in long term it just prolongs non-copyleft android OS hold for google.

my only hope for grapheneos is that they pointed that they may move from android too.

I am sorry that you think people were expelled. a lot of them ran but I am sure no one was expelled. and you imagine they were expelled to where?

expelled? that would be news to the tens of thousands living in iran and their representatives in the Majles.

this is what iranians looked like before revolution.

way less than jewish isis having nuke and acting like barbaric god chosen people.

way less than germany or japan. if you think they are reformed… then sure america was reformed after it killed all the native americans.

go watch any real politikcs about iran and nuke like john mershaimer. maybe you learn some history.

I judge conutries and regimes by their acts. in international arena iran behaved way better than all the other countires you named.

I am trying to show you some points.

all those you call secular governments in west like uk usa france germany and so on, did and continue to do invasions war crimes and atrocity world over.

so I don’t get your obsession with non-secular countries, and thinking that only non-secular countries are capable of good.

whatever my government does , doesn’t even get near to level of what Israel did for the last 80 years and especially last two years.

and all those “secular” countries supported israel completely with actions (words are useless)

israel is a secular country? if so that is news to their government which read from their religious texts when they do an genocide and war crimes. if you have not head that it is because you are ignorant. and those secular regimes is west are completely fine with them doing it.

so I don’t think west care about religious genocide if their buddies commit it.

and my country needs the nukes to survive as history has shown western regimes treaties are not worth the paper that it is written on. if jcpoa didnt show that nothing will. they bombed who they want and kill whoever they want.

be better informed and don’t be fox news level of ignorant.

if palestine shown anything is that the collective west didnt grow out of any of its bad habits.

whole of west got behind destroying syria so that “assad” should go because he was bad. because assa “bombed hostpitals and you wouldnt do that even to kill Al-Qaeda terrorists”

now he is replaced with Al-Qaeda commander and he gets welcomed in france and usa. and jewish isis gets to bomb every hospital and university and be the animal that they are because “khamas”.

if you think western regime goals is “saving gays” or something like that you are retarded.

if Libya Syria Afghanistan and of course the best of them saudi arabia was not enough to show you what is the most important foreign goals of eu and usa, I can’t help you.

I mean I am sure usa germany and japan are the most peace loving countries in the last century. unlike iran that literally didnt start a war in that last 200 years.

sorry.

from my perspective my country needs nukes the most of the “Candidates”

“virgins in the afterworld” as an irainian the first time I heard that was from a stand up comedy from Robin Williams.

don’t believe the bullshit.

jewish isis already has, so…

even russia purged a lot of oligarchs (for their own reasons). in USA both parties are oligarch parties, just different competing ones.

it seems that only my country (iran) having nukes is bad.

Did you know that is the reason my country (Iran) voted no to this resolution?

because Iran backs one state that everyone lives in it and refugees have come back.

I want to agree with you and I do to a large extend. I like new codecs and having more opensourcy coded is better than using a codec that has many patents. long term patents(current situation) slows technological progress.

what I don’t agree with you is some details.

first, Netflix youtube and so on need low bitrate and they (specially google/youtube) don’t care that much about quality. google youtube video are really bit starved for their resolutions. netflix is a bit better.

second, many people when they discuss codecs they are referring to a different use case for them. they are talking about archiving. as in, the best quality codec at a same size. so they compare original (raw video, no lossy codec used) with encoded ones. their conclusion is that av1 is great for size reduction, but cant beat h264 for fidelity at any size. I think that h264 has a placebo or transparent profile but av1 doesn’t.

so when I download a fi…I mean a linux ISO from torrents, I usually go for newest codec. but recently I don’t go for the smallest size because it takes away from details in the picture.

but if I want to archive a movie (that I like a lot, which is rare) I get the bigger h264 (or if uhd blueray h265).

third: a lot of people’s idea of codec quality is formed based on downloading or streaming other people’s encoded videos and they themself don’t compare the quality (as they don’t have time or a good raw video to compare).

4th: I have heard av1 has issues with film grain, as in it removes them. film grain is an artifact of physical films (non-digital) that unfortunately many directors try (or used to) to duplicate because they grew up watching movies on films and think that movies should be like so they add them in in post production. even though it is literally a defect and even human eyes doesn’t duplicate it so it is not even natural. but this still is a bug of av1 (if I read correctly) because codec should go for high fidelity and not high smoothness.

you didn’t do the wrong thing.

what many people don’t notice is that support for a codec in gpu(in hardware) is two part. one is decoding and one is encoding.

for quality video nobody does hardware encoding (at least not on consumer systems linux this 3050 nvidia)

for most users the important this is hardware support for decoding so that they can watch their 4k movie with no issue.

so you are in the clear.

you can watch av1 right now and when av2 becomes popular enough to be used in at least 4 years from now.
