Listen Liz, The Pentagon and hero emblem of democratic free speech, Charlie Kirk, love Mecha Hitler. Why don’t you, commie slut?

There’s a big difference between writing 100% of 90% of programs, and 90% of code in each program. The other 10% can be difficult, and part of the 10% is fixing that 90% not working.

The bickering you often see online about whether it’s “genocide” is sometimes from a bad faith bombastic comparison to Nazi Germany usually rooted in misinformation

Also, the declarations of genocide are political. Based only on a few Uyghur women who travelled to UK, and who reported being sterile after having 4+ kids. Autonomous Uyghur/Xinxiang region has been exempt from China’s one child policy, but there may have been sterility programs for excessive children.

Xinxiang prosperity has kept up/exceeded with China’s provincial average since 2014. It’s by far the most humane response to terrorism in human history.

The true power of free speech is the power of divisive lies/disinformation. That you think your media is free/honest, allows it far greater disinformation power to ensure oligarchist/zionist supremacy control. It has gotten to an extra level with Trump threatening media whose news departments push back on his disinformation, or Universities that permit disapproval of genocide. Zionazi media mergers for Paramount and TikTok designed to patch up any threats to supremacist order.

Is the freedom to lie more important than the deserved fuckwit status? CIA corruption of colonies requires the freedom of divisiveness propaganda/lies. Even little people like me, can get banned from reddit/lemmy main CIA subs for pushing back on zionazi warmongering disinformation propaganda. Speech that could change anything is definitely suppressed. You don’t notice it when you just agree with (your fundamentally state) supremacist media narratives.

If making Winnie the Pooh or Mohamed cartoon memes is important to your “happiness”, it’s almost certainly because divisiveness is important to your salary or self/social esteem.

A constitution and democracy that protects zionazi lizard people rulership, is one that protects it from any sunglasses that exposes them. The goggles, they do nothing. It’s late stage democracy.

Dangerous beliefs part of the propaganda that West/Ukraine has been winning all along. Wages are very high in Russia, due to high military pay bonuses, and is massively increasing military production. Russia has enough troops and equipment to be gaining territory every week. Russia moved ahead of Germany and Japan to be 4th largest economy. All of this comes from western reporting.

Just because there is always propaganda about how unconditional surrender of enemy is just mere weeks away, it is suicidal to believe any of it.

US colonial empire in its entirety is most corrupt ever. For US, zionist, corporatist oligarchy and monopoly supremacy is guaranteed dictatorial mandate enforced by media. In NATO and other colonies, CIA/State buying loyalty from every politician and media, while also threatening to JFK non compliance is very cheap. That the corruption of empire is more visibly extreme under Trump, doesn’t mean it wasn’t always there. Under direct economic war from US, NATO colonies have pledged to bankrupt their own countries with 5% of GDP in US weapons purchases to double down on a losing war with Russia, that the US started.

There needs to be military coup in US and in colonies. Constitution is worthless and corruption irreparable, IMO, but even if repairable, no one is coming close to proposing it, and the effort required within the rigged system against dictatorial pillage and designed collapse is simply too monumental.

So, Chinese system is far better than West’s. Military/one party rule doesn’t mean kleptocracy or oppression. It doesn’t mean no one is ever allowed to make improvement suggestions. In recent survey, Chinese were more happy with their level of democracy than Western countries by a 2:1 factor. It’s not even remotely close as to which is the lesser evil.

Cuba would be closer. South east Asia has more open expat process. Breaking political corruption in my country, is beyond my power or tolerance for MLK/Malcom X treatment. Certainly the path towards economic collapse and Oligarchist pillaging into extreme effective poverty is something that could affect me, but that can be delayed for 20 years, and a debt default reset is an escape. Climate destruction is not inherently bad for Canada. Retardation of joining US in war on China still seems too absurd to me, even though everyone around lemmy is so programmed into being gung ho over it.

CIA control over Canada, just needs to be throttled out of moronic acceptance for it. Seems so obvious to terminate it. But, sure there comes a point where collapse is just intentional design. Even if I oppose Canada’s participation in war on China, would I be safe, either politically or from nuke strikes, there?

That we are free, for now, to talk about how extreme corrupt US is, gets drowned out by shills simping for how awesome our rulers are. Freedom of speech becomes funding lies and divisiveness. Every country that adopts US like free speach laws turns out to have total political class unanimity about CIA/Israel’s right for supremacist rule over them and world.

We have surveillance too. China uses it to eliminate bike theft, and permits unattended public ebike charging.

Control

We have a very strong order with total control over us for benefit of oligarchy. It is so expensive to participate/change democracy that appeal to the oligarchy is necessary. Chuck Schumer openly brags that his job is to gaslight the left into supporting Israel, and the coincidence that is only money for war, and never any for progressive agenda is gaslighting by design. Control is a loaded word, in that if you want to control against CIA destabilization or subjugation of your rulers, you have to. The Paris Commune was most ideal government ever implemented, but lack of control/security against an Oligarchy who needs to destroy it to not look so bad in comparison, was the failure point. FBI has been involved in sabotaging US political movements many times over. Green party and leader only makes any speech/efforts 2 months before election.

It’s easy to accuse/complain about control. Orders of magnitude more important is how corrupt and oppressive to life/prosperity (pluralist economic survival) that control is. OP article is control to support the underlying premise that we need to fund competition and war with China as the given, and that the only answer is to double our oligarchist appropriations to keep on that given path.

Summary is very significantly understated. China is very far ahead in robotics, and AI is at least on par. Manufacturing and construction being far ahead makes everything important far ahead. Military production capacity and “military tech value”, where quantity is quality, has China far ahead.

From summary, this is denial meant to spur more government investment in a competition that is already lost using a corrupt US oligarchist model of privatized profit enhancement without any concern for produced value.

Considering the typical ebay listing, price is payment to be received. Shipping and tarrifs are extra to “weird jurisdictions”. I get that OP is willing to offer artist/collector $70, but the seller wants that $70, and shipping somewhere human is preferred. The chaos of US policy is that they are telling all foreign countries to collect tariffs for them, which is not at all how customs/tariffs have ever worked globally ever before. US’s fucking job to collect tariffs. No one is complying with absurdity.

I’ll spend $70. I’m not about to spend $70 and the artist get half of it.

You’re spending too much time listening to Trump/media apologists for Trump. The America hating foreigners don’t pay the tariffs. If the artist you are giving $70 to, is shipping from a country with 25% tariffs, then US Customs, if foreign Post office did not collect US tariffs (all of them are refusing), or disagrees with the value/amount collected, then they will add anywhere between 25% of the missing value or $200 (tariffs on $800 value as penalty for not complying with US law), and YOU NEED TO PAY to collect the package.

Artist got the $70. They won’t ship if they have to pay the tariffs. You pay the tariffs if they don’t.

This is an android 16 feature, scheduled for sept 2026 “prerelease” and 2027 rollout. I expect/hope some phones will have a setting to disable “the security”. If not, there is great opportunty for high end hardware linux first phones, with good android emulation software.

a18pro beats M3 max in single core. Compared to 7840hs, it has 40% high single score geekbench 6, though 50% less multicore. Even beats ai395max at single score. Android competition catches up to even in gaming/gpu, but single core/responsiveness is still light years ahead. a19 next month, likely. M3 ultra has competitive aspects to xeon and epyc. Apple definitely has a lead on arm implementations.

2026 will be the year of the Linux phone!

or 2027. Or some Chinese variant of android on Chinese/Taiwan phone that allows sideloading, perhaps with alternate playstore and maps. I don’t yet understand how draconian this actually gets implemented, but death of android/google (to me) is possible. If hardware is good enough, then android emulator will be fine for legacy apps.

Can you just refuse to upgrade your 2021 or previous (nothing on their device list applies to models released after 2021) to not be affected by this policy change? I have never noticed a useful feature in android version upgrades for quite a while now.

Apple hardware has always been a generation ahead. Even when android/qualcom catches up, next generation is out already. The reason to avoid apple was it being a closed system money grab.

does this control happen with a specific android version release? what number? Can I get a new phone with that version and sideload an alternative OS/ROM?

Hey CIA, @ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online thinks that Skynet persecuting Americans who disagree with Skynet might not be ultra patriotic, or sufficiently supportive of Israel genocide. Swat them now!

Chinese car factories DO NOT get a special discount on steel. You can’t just keep repeating that without source that is not also just baseless repeating of same lie.

EVs are better cars, and most people are happy with them to get another EV in future. You do need private charging solutions to make it cheaper/convenient, and home solar makes it even better economics. Public charging is something you should plan to use a handful of times per year.
