Trolly buses were the highlight of my childhood but talking about it with a few engineers, they're very high risk and maintenance. You have to have something predictable, disaster resistant, time tested, low maintenance, cost effective, and idiot proof.

Hopefully some battery tech comes in that doesn't require slave-mining but trolly buses are not the uncertainties.

It's downloading an app off of an app store and turning it on. Stop trying to force your narrow perspective onto everyone else.

People who are subject to censorship, in time find a workaround. Downloading a VPN app with a big green button to turn it on is not rocket science.

There are probably lots of VPN companies targetting "tiktok" as a keyword to advertise and increase their user base. So they come up first on appstores and search results.

Now, go ahead and call people searching google is not average tiktok user.

But where that data goes after you turn the VPN on, is a different topic on its own. Maybe China itself is running a whole lot of VPN networks from shell companies.

Bandwagoning tiny shit like "credit card fees" is not going to change the number of deaths he has funded. But that never was your concern tho, was it?

It's about "Biden does good thing for us so we can excuse a genocide he's causing"?

Come back when you grow up and you're done circlejerking on petty little things that your team does.

Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?

I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside...

I should start posting ads and sponsors as my signatures with every comment. This is totally not the start of something awful. It makes me happy, it's free and doesn't cost anyone else anything.

Next I'm gonna post an image ad and randomise it. Maybe code bots to upvote it to the top. Ayy, you're on to something. 🤔

China's use of opensource isn't exactly in the spirit of open-source though, is it?

As an example, most companies in China don't even release the linux kernel source code after they modify it, as they are required by GPL.

So they're building mega-corps on the back of opensource, just like the western counterparts. That's capitalism 101.

They're outsourcing many of their workforce abroad. Like Microsoft, I expect more of these "isolated" accidents to happen.

The world could care less if it is Trump or Biden. But your supposition that stopping one genocide supporter is rooting for another fascists is not the worlds fault, but your own. Democracy as you still would call it.

Stop trying to claim to be the police of the world, while at the same time also sell weapons to the half of the world including despotic regimes and genocidal ones. A very good business model, but the world is seeing through it.

We all know where your priorities lie, and it isn't Human Rights.

You must not be paying enough attention because your first point can be easily disproven by visiting any major news source and viewing the stories about the mass protests on college campuses all over the county right now.

Yes, the protests got more news time than the actual ethnic cleansing. Tells a lot about the populace.

It's fine that genocides are happening over other countries with your blessings, But hur dur… we… we don't want what we do to other countries happening to us. 😭

It's about time you face consequences of your actions.

People get outraged and go out to protest. Why is this kind of defeatism bs upvoted? You live way to privileged to even think about being desensitized, while the people in some parts of the world even struggle to survive.

Shut up commi. US has the best of the best education. Everone come to US for our education, not the other way around. We give them education and make them smaht like us. My friends tell me that I have the best education. My brain is all education. One time I used education to pay for 5 whole Mcdonald's. No one else has more education than tha USA.

Didn't you know? it's good when US bans/sanctions foreign companies, when other countries does it, it's AUTHORITARIAN. And companies in US are totally not in bed with the government.

Everyone else must run spyware "Made in the USA" or else you're causing some irreparable harm of sorts.

Don't some games in steam run Anticheat as rootkits? That's totally okay, because it's from the great USA.

Totally not an attack vector. I swear.

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms ( www.theguardian.com )

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

pop ,

Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.

Political theatre.

US keeps trying to pretend and appear rational, peaceful, trying to end "war", then ships a ton more to start the slaughter. Then US sends another warning…

The security issue was found in a development build, not a production release. There were no users to benefit from the CVE, because none were affected. If there were exceptions that were using development builds, it on them.

This was always the plan of why big tech companies hire Indian CEO. People that didn't see it coming have their head under rocks.

Microsoft having so many security incidents shows what it is going to follow.

Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?

I went to some palestine protests a while back, and was talking to my brother about the organizing, when revealed something I found pretty shocking, we (the protesters) had acquired a permit to hold the protest. Apparently this is standard policy across the US....

pop ,

If you haven't figured it out by now, everything US stands for is a bait and switch, which is selectively applied based on race and class.

  • Peace? Nope, will destroy nations and fund genocide when convenient. It's only bad when white people are being oppressed.
  • Freedom? Nope, The surveillance state monitors you all (anyone remember snowden? )
  • Equality? They'll try to pass laws to kill ya if you speak up about women rights
  • Guns? Basically a murder fantasy for the rich, that got out of hand and now everyone can enjoy that fantasy
  • Slavery? It's okay. private prisons here to help
  • Democracy? with 2 parties??????

It got rich by exploiting resources on a stolen land and using propaganda to push their clickbait ideals to entice smart people as the "American Dream". They don't even care if they're Nazis, So yea.

Microsoft and Google have indian CEOs so they can penetrate the billion people market (indians are deeply patriotic, and it plays into overall brand loyalty) and these companies plan lower costs while doing so.

What's a few million dollar paid for a (specifically chosen for the purpose) CEO, when you can make billions by using it to gain grounds in a emerging market.

Win-Win

That's the thing. You don't know. Nobody knows except the CCP. That's the problem.

But you do about every other social media platform?

Fake news is not exclusive to a single platform. Teach your family about reputable news sources and stop trying to shoehorn US propaganda down everyone's throats like it makes you look smart. Tiktok learned everything it does by the likes of facebook, Google and Twitter.

Why do you think US social media is everywhere all over the world with near instant or sometimes even get higher bandwidth preference in some countries? If you don't think the US government has nothing to do with the level of complexities that entails dealing with local governments/infrastructure and planning, then I guess "ignorance is a bliss", and I hope the US government will bring you peace and much freedumb. Don't complain when they come in blasting tho.

China now produces more chips domestically than it imports. ( lemmy.ml )

China's tech industry is thriving! They produced 3 billion chips daily, with a total output of 100 billion in Q1, up 40% YoY. March alone saw an impressive 28% jump to 36 billion units, driven by growth in NEVs and smartphones (17%). By 2027, China's global share of mature-process capacity is projected to rise from 31% to a...

Why is it always that the US does something bad or beyond logic, it always goes back to "what about that time when x said/did something worse" as if it's any fucking better?

  • Remember that time when obama bombed a wedding?
  • Remember when bush made up lies about invading iraq and got out scot-free?
  • Remember that time when we invaded countries for no reason other than pushing our agenda?
  • Remember when we funded terrorists that are now terrorizing the locals?
  • Remember when we changed regimes to religious fundamentalists that turned into theocracy?
  • Remember when we supported coups in democratic countries?

Ban all social media if you think ownership is the point. Or is it only a problem now because you're not the top dog in internet surveillance? You schum come over like the ownership matters "now" when the pole position is from a different country is hilarious and very telling.

They (Tiktok) has owned the information for about 10th of the time social media companies became a thing. Everyone in the US was fine then while social media companies were sowing discord/violence/hate and genocide abroad, now everyone else is fine most US social media data is owned by someone else. Deal with it.

It's not the author who's out of touch. The same recipe US used to create mega corp monopolies is coming to bite you, it's just controlled by the CCP, LMAO.

Keep telling yourself whatever makes you seem you're on the righteous side. You're fooling no one. you do you tho.

FBI, or basically US says anything to point their problems at anyone else but themselves.

And since it's election season, they can just go wild without evidence, building on that "foreign boogeyman" propagnda they've built up for a decade.

pop ,

It's similar to "US attacks a helpless nation and bears no consequences" kind of war. If your infrastructure is that vulnerable, and your cyber defences are weak, someone stronger will do whatever they please.

What else are you gonna do? Take them to a real war that just took over your infrastructure? based on what, your own incompetence that hurt your feelings? Not that US isn't a pissy baby as it already is. It'll just reveal more about the US bullshit does to the rest of the world. Did Iran declare war after the stuxnet incident? Same logic applies.

Attack them on the same playing field if you can and shut up about "wars". Or sit your ass down and take the L however you feel, comfortably or otherwise.
