  • That's why I'm here. I do like the style of VRT in flanders. They allow everyone to come there. All political parties.

    Yesterday they showed the earthquake that reached Bangkok. The last few days they showed the protests in Istanbul.

    But, I haven't heard anything about the protests in Jakarta. Nothing about how a military person has become the new president in Indonesia.

    "Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo (EYD: Joyohadikusumo; born 17 October 1951) is an Indonesian politician, businessman, and retired army general serving as the eighth president of Indonesia since 2024."

    For some reason this doesn't seem to be important.

    And that's why I enjoy social media without a centralised authority.

  • Ah yes, only the opposition that you belong to 😁

    How convenient

  • I'm European, criticising our government here in Belgium is our national sport.

  • So the opposition, ml instance, only cares about themselves and thus should be heavily censored?

    I thought we were here on Lemmy so that we could choose what content we see and which content we want to upload.

  • I showed tank man, just literally no answer. But she asked about how Turkish Uyghurs were treated (she's Turkish diaspora). Then it showed some very different answer than le chat mistral.

    Basically the answer on DeepSeek is something you guys here would copy paste lol

    Okay I misread about the 80% figure. It's more about 50%. They just control 80% of the output through majority stakes.

    But Chinese companies are going after all the cobalt in the world. It's their industry that they want to shine in.

    "Singapore does it", my boss worked there and told me this week multiple times that Singaporeans are the most selfish ego centered people he has ever met. My wife grew up in Bintan, and she agrees. They are basically the Americans of south east Asia.

    The subsidies are trickle down economics, heavily criticised by socialists.

    Although income inequality is dropping in china. 0,35 Gini. In USA it's 0,41. But here in the EU, it's 0,29.

    And where I live, it's 0,26.

    We're still the most socialist.

  • Most European Turks vote for Erdogan.

  • We lack a translate button. Rednote and weibo have translate buttons. We need that.

  • There's no central authority here. But if it doesn't matter which instance you are on, then all the users on Lemmy are still just part of Lemmy.

    On the graph I see other icons than Lemmy.

    Are we able to see content from other social media? Or what is meant with that

  • The silent part is a bit of an issue though. For safety reasons.

  • Yes, we very very very strong 🥰 big Forza Bruxelles, Belgians mightiest of all Europe. Our history is countless won battles one after another. We ruled the whole world, you know?

  • They are the ones already owning the companies. It's not like the middle class had much of the ownership lol

    "The bottom 90% of Americans own approximately 7% to 11% of all stocks. This highlights the significant concentration of stock ownership among the wealthiest individuals in the U.S. ."

    Trump is hurting the rich. Which is hilarious because it's not like he has anyone else's interests in mind ahahaha

    Oh yeah, his top buddy Putin

  • Something about not guiding public opinion or stuff like that

  • What is not fair? I just said kind seeks kind, you don't need people that aren't your kind. It's an easy way to figure out who isn't your kind. The leak, is a great way to communicate.

    As OP said, he found quite some more people that wanted to join.

  • When cities are built for cars, like liège. Then cars won't have many issues there.

    But liège is a shithole not worth visiting ☺️

    It's really fun watching cars struggle in Ghent. Just use a bike

  • They are a minority that have opposing views. Just as any ideology, they have flaws and they just accept those flaws with open arms.

    You could go there and say: china owns 80% of cobalt companies in Congo. You'd get banned.

    Can say that china has far higher inequality than the EU. You'd get banned.

    You could say that the Chinese government subsidising smartphone and electric vehicle market in china is trickle down economics. You'd get banned. (I get cheap high quality stuff because Chinese citizens their taxes pay for the profit margins of the Chinese shareholders.)

    You'd get banned.

    I honestly just wonder if they are economically illiterate morons, to be honest ☺️
