It’s 100 guys, I don’t think anyone is especially concerned.
Genocides are ok if they’re “domestic affairs”? That’s a bad case of brainworms, kid.
Edit: more accurate quote
You’re looking too narrowly. By getting devs to cater to whatever gets rolled out in Blink and v8, google extends the power they have over the whole ecosystem by making any browser that doesn’t follow them look “broken” (as opposed to, not slavishly following everything google does).
It also increases the difficulty of making a competing browser engine by adding tons of complexity (for questionable value), only further entrenching google’s dominance. But at least you get some stupid new CSS3 behaviors (that people will bitch about not working in Firefox or Safari) so I guess it’s worth it.
China’s system led to invasions, wars, and mass murder. China’s system has no way for the citizens to do anything about it. The US system does, and citizens have forced change repeatedly throughout US history.
And to reiterate, the US government is not perfect and still does bad things. But it’s entirely better than China’s.
The US didn’t take over Tibet and resettle Han Chinese there (that’s genocide, deliberately destroying a culture ). The US isn’t committing a genocide on the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The US isn’t imprisoning and executing Falun Dafa adherents.
The US allows us to make changes for the better. We can stand for office and become ta source of change, we can band together as citizens to make change. Our system isn’t perfect, but it is dramatically better than China’s, all your cynicism aside.
I have free speech rights under the constitution. That’s not the case in China.
Don’t shift the goal posts - there’s a huge difference between the countries, and China is strictly worse.
Yeah, also maybe we could get rid of election apps.
Everyone who uses Chrome (or Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, or anything else that uses Chromium as a base) - you’re helping google extend their power over the open web, and those helping them do this.
It’s a small thing, but Google’s power over the web derives from each of the the millions of people who continue to make Chrome the standard that webdevs cater to.
As an American, I can say that my government sucks for invading Iraq and Afghanistan and face no repercussions. I did so before those wars and have done so repeatedly since.
As a Chinese citizen, I can be arrested for singing a song about Hong Kong. Or saying that Tibet isn’t China, or that Taiwan should be left alone. God forbid I ask about what’s happening in Xinjiang. Or what happened in Beijing in 1989, or why the Great Leap Forward resulted in so many deaths of my countrymen. Or practicing Flaun Dafa, or whatever else.
Nobody is saying the US is perfect: the US has its problems, we can and should be better. But China is never honest about their shit and punishes people who are. China’s markedly worse than the US.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
China is markedly worse than the US, though.
If those accounts aren’t doing anything detectable (spamming, etc), what’s the problem with their existence?
We stopped doing awesome things and that was stupid, and I’m glad we’re getting back to it.
Russia would be (and has been) doing that, regardless of what Ukraine actually does.
Man, I’m so glad this global warming thing is leftist propaganda or I’d really be freaking out right now.
And that article is from late March. The almost 4 months since then haven’t exactly been reassuring for potential advertisers - remember the time Musk decided to require logins to view tweets and severely restricted the number of tweets users could view, completely without warning? If they’d made any headway in convincing advertisers to return to Twitter, that single weekend burned all that work to the ground and then some.
The new CEO must have a humiliation fetish to have taken that job.
Zelensky is 5’7” (153.88 in non-freedom units), which coincidentally is the same as Putin’s height. Also, Pootpoot is widely suspected of wearing lifts in his shoes.
Of the many reasons you could be spending a big chunk of the rest of your life in federal prison, impressing NEETs on discord is one of the stupider ones. I hope he spends many years considering his decisions.
I also hope that a Republican doesn’t win the election next year, because whoever it would be, he’ll totally grant a pardon for dumb and completely political reasons. I wish the US had at least two functioning parties run by adults, rather than the 0.5 we have now.
Probably because adapting a boat is easier and cheaper.
