I’m going to say they probably give marching orders to the dictators of multiple countries.
- Comment on China Halts Critical Rare Earth Exports as Trade War Intensifies. 2 weeks ago:
I could be wrong but my impression was that this is how it already is for goods containing rare earths. That they are already manufactured largely in China and China exports them and that there’s no ban on finished products containing rare earths.

Better yet, use adb to remove all the junk from your phone.
- Comment on I hate reachability of smartphones 2 weeks ago:
I am self-employed and have customers who need to reach out to me about one thing or another. I’m okay with phone calls. Phone calls get business done quickly. Text messages are terrible. If I get one text message, I’ll respond right away if I can, but only the first message. If he shoots a message back, I call. If he doesn’t answer, I wait a few hours to text back again. I absolutely refuse to turn our conversations to SMS conversations.
- Comment on China Halts Critical Rare Earth Exports as Trade War Intensifies. 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, China’s exports of rare earths have been largely a part of finished components and that’s not been suspended.

Headline: Man pleads guilty to operating secret Chinese police station in NYC
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 2 weeks ago:
I thought this was common knowledge. Here’s one about the US. If you look, you can easily find one about Canada or other countries.
- Comment on How do I request an inactive community on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Do Lemmy moderation tools work across instances? For example, if I were to “moderate” a community on a different instance, are the tools there to make this work? Or would I need to create a new profile on that other instance?
- Comment on How do I request an inactive community on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Are there any official or unofficial rules about starting a community? Do you have to get the support of your instance first or can you just start one? I can imagine someone wanting to start two or three different themed communities and the instance the user uses having different opinions about hosting one or the other: Being very happy about one but very opposed to another. And keeping an array of profiles on different instances just to avoid upsetting one instance or another wouldn’t be ideal.

- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 2 weeks ago:
Nobody else is commenting on it but we know for a fact that China’s government is operating illegal “police stations” inside the United States and Canada, to regulate the behavior of Chinese people inside our countries. Yes, there will be Chinese internment camps and these Chinese agents operating inside out countries will be the start of those camps. They will be real enemies among us. The question is just if our governments will stop at those real enemies or if it’ll expand beyond what’s just.

Lots of people paying for that mistake today.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 3 weeks ago:
It is even worse if you are at the withdraw stage of life (generally retirement) because liquidated shares cannot participate in any later market increase.

I’m a conservative but don’t have strong feelings about gun rights. Not every conservative is conservative for the same reason.

If you can influence others to do so, use the better app. My family, we use Briar.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think their goal is stability. It is elimination. And the same would be true if the situation reversed. So either that’s what eventually happens or a bigger power steps in and rules them like children.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
One state, immediately in the state of civil war where one side has access to the most money and the best weapons? I gave up on this idea after seeing the effects of this current war. Either one side will eliminate the other or a bigger country will rule both of them as if they are children incapable of running their own lives. Is there a reasonable plan for peace other than these?
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure most of those people are dead.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
What’s the solution to lasting peace? Restore rule to the Ottomans or British?
- Comment on Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy? 3 weeks ago:
I agree, this is bad logic. That said, that’s not what I hear from the current regime when I hear them talking about tariffs. What I hear is them thinking this will force countries to lower barriers to Americans doing business abroad. Once those barriers are lowered, tariffs are reduced or go away altogether. For the record, I do not think this is good policy, but the intent of the policy (at lease as I read it) isn’t to suddenly move all manufacturing back to the United States.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
I have a little pull in my group of friends. I’ve got 11 kids and I make them use Briar (SMS is removed from the phones) and so their friends end-up getting Briar and then their friends’ parents have also gotten it. So we have a nice little circle of people using it.
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 4 weeks ago:
We held elections in the middle of the Civil War and made sure soldiers could vote. If Lincoln could do it then, we can do it now. I’ll fight to make sure we have elections, and I hope others do the same.
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 4 weeks ago:
I guess that makes sense. I have a very firm feeling he is going to intentionally provoke a war against China. That war might already be brewing but he is much more likely to take us into it than almost anyone else.
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 4 weeks ago:
That’s interesting. When I was reading the Constitution, I didn’t read it the same way. I thought that the basic rules (age, citizenship, etc.) were what applied since obtaining office and serving office were distinct in my mind. I like your reading better but I have a feeling SCOTUS wouldn’t read it the same way you do.
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 4 weeks ago:
I understand one tactic is for him to serve as VP under someone else who promises to resign to allow Trump to serve again but he keeps saying there’s also other options.
WHAT OTHER OPTIONS IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

Is your employer matching some percentage of what you add to your 401k?

Is it possible to skip account creation by installing while not connected to the internet?
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
I’d consider using them if I didn’t need to use a phone number to register. My friends and family stick with Briar as a result.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 4 weeks ago:
I also sort by top six hours but subs related to my profession or religious traditions both get too much outside noise from folks who view posts by ‘all’ and feel welcome to flood subs with comments contrary to the intent of the sub. Active moderation could help but there’s just not good moderation under most subs.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 4 weeks ago:
IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.
