It is really interesting to see how many people star the <<mirrors,GitHub repository>>, and then a few minutes later they think about how they might get put in jail, and then unstar it.
<<ciro-santilli>> is able to see this because the star notification remains in the GitHub dashboard even after unstarring.
Unstarring events are exceedingly rare in Ciro's other repositories.
The expression https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-expression-two-steps-forward-one-step-back-mean[two steps forward, one step back] comes to mind.
Luckily in this case, it does not seem possible to view who unstarred a repository after the fact:

The <<chilling-effect>> is extremelly visible on GitHub.
<<ciro-santilli>> is able to see this easily because the star notification remains in the GitHub dashboard even after unstarring.
And star events might publicly visible permanently on events API under the WatchEvent, not sure: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/events/github-event-types#watchevent This appears to get them all from https://www.gharchive.org/[GitHub Archive].
However, star events are also publicly visible permanently on events API under the WatchEvent: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/events/github-event-types#watchevent
This appears to get them all from https://www.gharchive.org/[GitHub Archive]'s Google BigQuery up to the last whole month:
....
SELECT actor.login, created_at
SELECT actor.login, MAX(created_at)
FROM `githubarchive.month.*`
WHERE type = 'WatchEvent'
AND repo.name = 'cirosantilli/china-dictatorship'
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 1000
GROUP BY actor.login
ORDER BY MAX(created_at) DESC
....
Unstarring events are exceedingly rare in Ciro's other repositories.
Ciro verified that does include people who unstarred.

That one exceeds the free data limits as of December 2021 however, so you need to select more specific months/years at a time. Note that year data is only released once every year.
Luckily in this case, it does not seem possible to view who unstarred a repository after the fact:
The following ranges manage to get all data as December 2021 for free:

supposing that unique starrers
You can then "Save results" as CSV to view all users.
There don't appear to be unstar events however. You can see single people star multiple times, which means that each new star gives a new row, which is why we do the `GROUP BY`.

No, Ciro is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism[agnostic] (https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/不可知论[不可知论]) and therefore believes that all the metaphysics that <<li-hongzhi>> says is bullshit.

Ciro thinks that FLG's self-help part could potentially be good for you, just like many other meditative practices such as Yoga, Buddhist meditation, Tai chi, deep Catholic prayer, etc. As far as he has heard, all of it sounded good standard religious self-help: be peaceful, be good to others, etc. Like any other well managed religion, FLG does have good things to offer, see also: <<christine-marie>>.
