You can change the app settings to English now if you update it. Should help

If that's his 5d chess plan then he's dumb as shit.

Rednecks do not want EVs. They want 70k trucks plus a lift kit and modified engines to enable rolling coal on any EV or hybrid they come across. They are on purpose going in the opposite direction out of spite.

*Also battery energy density isn't capable of hauling big loads for long distances

Elon is just a moron who failed upwards

Are you able to make another account? A voip number maybe?

That’s true they’re pretty good now.

The context of my comment that you had no way of knowing is I’ve got a family member who is into photography, like buy themselves a 3k camera from something or other fancy brand level of interest in it. You can tell there’s a difference, even on my newer iPhone.

But yeah it’s pretty darn good for a pocket camera!

Thank you, this fixed FreeTube for me. Guess official releases are too slow now or maybe YouTube is attacking the official release specifically

Fascinating, thanks for the link.

I’m no photographer but I do whip out the phone while out on a trail somewhere and occasionally go out near sunrise or sunset. I know using a phone will never be real camera quality but it’s fun to try anyway. Article has my gears turning on where those special times could yield interesting results

Not high. Upvoted nonetheless because what you point out is a very important counterbalance in the conversation. It would be naive to believe there’s not some price paid for what looks like a more secure life.

Yes, china is doing horrible things behind the scenes. Uyghur genocide is beyond reprehensible, aggressive imperialist expansion posturing in the South China Sea, the Taiwan mess, wildly extreme censorship, the great firewall, crackdowns on dissent, intimidation and coercion of Chinese abroad under threat of harming their families in mainland china, corporate espionage, the list goes on.

But here’s the rub.

The cost of just existing here in the states is becoming simply unbelievable, literally. Chinese folks are asking us Americans on this new app if it’s true we need to pay thousands for an ambulance or work 2 jobs to simply afford to live. It’s so outlandish that these Chinese people thought it was their own government telling them made-up ‘America bad’ stories.

As you point out we pay a price for our lifestyle too, and the laundry list is just as long. Despite the evil things our government does, I’m wondering why we ended up with a system where you could become homeless from the financial shock of one ambulance ride, whereas the average Chinese doesn’t have to go live on a sidewalk in the same scenario.

So despite the roughly similar evil governments, why the disparity in daily affordable life?

If you’re at all open to critiquing new information and updating your worldview to accommodate, then you would probably be wondering similar questions as I am now.

We can’t afford bread and they’re trying to ban the circus

This was the obvious progression

The real kick in the nuts is that we get to see that the average Chinese can afford groceries and has disposable income for entertainment, and just in general doesn’t have the insane monetary burdens we have here.

I think that’s the only play they have without revealing their hand.

But that’ll just lead to pissed off Americans figuring out en masse how to sideload apps which is even more problematic if your goal is controlling content.

You can really tell who controls CNNs leash from this story.

And frankly, the law Biden signed to ban TikTok could apply to a lot of foreign social media apps and they're not preemptively banning any of those. Just the one Americans are using right now.

National security threat indeed. Actions speak.

Rednote being wholly located in China is arguably a feature because it's outside of the jurisdiction of this law. The government can demand divestment but the only way we could be "protected" is if they go mask off and reveal the actual goal, a great American firewall.

Not according to the cube rule

Thank you for explaining that. I'm new to Linux and really didn't understand that snap thing I heard about

What are these, enchiladas for ants? Yes, it is. For a family of ants

Those are valid criticisms, but can equally be applied to all of the rest of our main social media platforms.

I’m not seeing a big difference here between TikTok and YouTube except that one is not able to be influenced or backdoored by the US government and the other is.

In essence the optics here look an awful lot like the US simply doesn’t like other nations mining their citizens data that they want for themselves, and having foreign control of the type of news being fed by their algorithm.

Just remember that before Snowden dropped a dime on the NSA, similar suspicions sounded pretty wacky too

US will surely sanction the UN next. lol why does this country have shitty takes

If you’re defederated from .world then you don’t have to listen to dunces insist the earth is flat! Win win!

Never thought I’d see a mainstream outlet discussing this. There’s less plausible deniability for potential jurors now

Does Poland have any Italians named Luigi living there?

Well that comment went 0-100 in no time flat
