So it does! I was only looking at the map at the top of the page (which excludes China), not the list further down. I wonder why it was excluded there.

I live in the Uk. We have armed police on routine patrol in high-risk areas (Airports, London Bridge, etc). Everywhere else, they’re mostly unarmed. They have tasers and batons, though.

Could you give an example? Wikipedia agrees with the map shown here, aside from Botswana.

The creator of the map shown in the post attributes the data to the University of Sydney, though I haven’t been able to find the exact research paper.

My school had several holes in the middle of the building to avoid this. Most of them just have gravel at the bottom

I live in the Uk, and both my primary and secondary schools had buildings exactly like these.

Mlem has been out of beta testing for a while; it’s available on the App Store. It offers all of the Lemmy features that the average user would use, except for post searching. It doesn’t yet support moderation/administration features.

Although the app is fully out, we still improve it over time by releasing feature updates every few months (we’re planning to release an update this week, actually). That’s what I mean when I say “in constant development”.

It’s vital that a Lemmy client has at least one active developer. When a new version of Lemmy is released, “breaking changes” are often included. These changes by the Lemmy developers require the client developers to modify their apps to support the new system. If there aren’t any developers left to make those modifications, the app can stop working.

To gauge whether an app is still being developed, you can take a look at their GitHub/GitLab page. It tells you how recently the source code of the app was last modified. Voyager and Mlem both had changes less than a day ago, whereas Memmy hasn’t been touched for several months.

What happened to Liftoff? I’m out of the loop

Mlem is still under constant development (source: am Mlem developer), but Voyager is the most feature-complete at the moment by far. I don’t know of any other iOS clients still in development. Unfortunately Memmy’s development seems to have halted :(

The headline uses the word “demagogue” to describe Trump. “Demagogue” is defined as:

A political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.

I think OC is arguing that the article hints that Trump’s campaign is devoid of rational argument by using this word, which would imply that they aren’t exactly on Trump’s side. I’m not personally familiar with the Guardian’s political standpoint, though.
