Real talk, why is discussion around people and subjects in China so fucking weird?

If it's not referring to the entire population when it only applies to the government or a subset of them as a global "the Chinese" or doing silly shit like "China scientists" everyone's grammatical skills suddenly tank when even broaching a topic even tangential to the PRC.

What exactly is there to dispute with a government that is trying to carve a unitary executive out of a 3 branch system, admires Nazis, has ties to actual neo-Nazis and leaders who have literally seig heiled, and is currently turning an agency into the gestapo and deporting anyone he wants to concentration camps?

Flash chips are cheap as actual potato chips, why are you arguing for phones to be shipped with less onboard storage, especially when SD cards aren't guaranteed

Fuck it, we don't need him to look up to; id Software was co-founded by Hatsune Miku

Fondly remember Google's back and forth rocking with just-in-time and ahead-of-time compilation every other Android version with Dalvik/ART. Guess it's been a while since they've rocked to AOT

Some states will tell you just about everything about a voter with only their name and birthdate. Not that far feteched

GameCenter is back again, let's goooo

Unlikeable asshole entity tries even harder to get people to like them. Results are mixed

By default the open source/decentralized social media movement was galvanized by idealistic and political groups who were unsatisfied with corporate social media — mainly being the libertarian-flavored, pro-free speech free software types that flourished in the early software industry, the right wing activists that proliferated in the mid 00s/early 2010s, and left-wing factions of many types fighting capitalism.

Lemmy in particular was started by developers in the communist space, and has since attracted other segments of the left and center to seed its culture.

Many segments of popular communities here are liberal or even centrist now, but the background, core user base of Lemmy retains at least a socially progressive, anti-or-critical-capitalist lens, if not further left.

Fisker, due to going bankrupt, arguably is the worst version of this right now

The EU is probably working on that front at the very least. Unfortunately the US side may need regulators to carry it forward
