  If you’re worried about Chinese economy damaging your own, just stop trading with China.

  Oh wait, your economy depends on forced cheap labour

  How about a fully state-controlled economy?

  Not capitalism, since there’s no private capital; not communism, since there’s a state.

  There’s also simply no way of getting out once you’re inside. It doesn’t work even if it was used by just one car.

  How does GrapheneOS “lack boldly”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blizzard bans 250,000 Overwatch 2 cheaters, says its AI that analyses voice chat is warning naughty players and can often 'correct negative behaviour immediately'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they want their voice chats to be monitored?

  Where do you get all these Coca Cola flavours? I’m in Germany and have only ever seen vanilla, cherry and life (next to the default, light and zero).

  Or you can just use apps like ViMusic or InnerTune, which are foss and provide infinite offline adless playback for free.

  Proton uses their own Stealth Protocol, which wraps the Wireguard protocol with TCP/TLS.

  My comments on lemmy are completely anonymous. Would you claim they are private?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Signal could be more private indeed. But:

  Being anonymous is the highest achievable level of privacy.

  is obviously a misguided statement.

  claiming the GDPR is good =/= claiming the GDPR is flawless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They tried⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t say that either. Where do you get this idea from that they’re talking about (all) US news sites?

  They said “American propaganda websites”. That may include some news sites. It may also not include some news sites.

  The most you could infer from their statement is that only American propaganda websites violate the GDPR.

  Of course websites exist that violate the GDPR and are not American propaganda websites.

  But the vast majority of websites commiting severe violations of the GDPR that an average European encounters will be American propaganda websites.

  (Believe it or not, Europeans don’t often visit websites written in Russian or Chinese.)

  I especially find the community name useful in links.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember Sean Aloysius O'Brien on this auspicious day. Happy Labor Day!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Many projects take a long time to become profitable. The workers would starve until then.

  Because of that, they need to borrow wealth to be able to keep working on the project until it becomes profitable.

  The concept of lending wealth is therefore necessary.

  Noone is gonna accept the risk of lending out wealth unless they expect some gain, some profit.

  Therefore the workers promise to not only repay the lent wealth but to also pay on top of that, perhaps a share of the project’s profit.

  Hence the concept of profitable investment is necessary.

  I knew it was bad

  I’m not sure whether this comment is supposed to speak of Kagi in a positive or negative way.
