I don’t think you understand the case. I think you’re just saying things out of complete ignorance. Which is fine it’s just a comment thread on a tiny website, but at some point, you should just go read up on the actual situation rather than continue to make statements out of ignorance, that doesn’t contribute to the conversation or benefit anyone.
The downvotes are a combination of American propaganda working, and also everyone here is a mid to older millennial, genx tech bro, ergo hate the young people’s thing.
Don’t take it personally, downvotes mean nothing on lemmy, and it’s more a reflection of their inability to discuss points and just blind react to points that go against their propaganda influenced moral compass.
It’s funny that the only app being banned, is the app that young people used to have a dramatic effect on American politics recently, first by blocking the red wave, then by tanking democratic polling thanks to their support for genocide.
It’s funny that Twitter or Facebook, which is absolutely full of outside influence on America, isn’t banned. The Russian and Chinese bot networks can live forever there, that’s fine.
They aren’t banning a thing, they are banning a kind of a thing.
If they were banning social media you may have a point, they aren’t.
Sir, this is a discussion platform. People leave text to have a discussion.
if you don’t want to, that’s okay. You don’t have to continue. Just don’t reply, you don’t need to leave a message like that, that’s just weird
Just at the cost of setting up the American version of china’s firewall, right?
It’s going to be weird for the rest of the world to have access to tiktok, but just America bans their citizens from accessing it. America really just isn’t so far from what it hates.
It’s also strange to see people championing a path towards this, it’s all good until they decide to ban the thing you don’t hate though right?
I would argue that this is the opposite order. You want to take care of the people who actually hold power over you now, China has no power over you.
Look at what the eu has done. First control and regulate the local companies.
This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.
I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap
in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.
Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.
It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.
The American government /was/ paying for starlink (as it is not sustainable, nevermind profitable by itself. Shockingly few people in the middle of nowhere can’t pay for infinite rocket launches). They said the service wasn’t good enough to keep paying for it.
So now Musk doesn’t care about trying to apease the Americans and will seemingly let Russia use it. Why not
Don’t let the article being a bit clickbaity diswade you from the actual good this law is doing, however. It’s a good thing and a good solid step forward to curb the disposable economy we’ve had for the past 20 years.
You know what else is dumb? Shooting down a plane full of civilians from another country and yet they did that too.
That Russia is capable and willing to (try) to shoot down anything they want in the sky. For whatever reason. What was the good, solid, well thought out reason for shooting down the commercial jet with hundreds of civilians on it, in your opinion?
country known for firing missiles at non-combatant and commercial planes has a plane full of political power suddenly crash. a mystery for sure.
That’s not absuing it, that’s it being successfully used.
We want young people to use public transport, oh no, the young people are using public transport, the horror.
They have been picketing fuel stations, refineries, more. It doesn’t work, you obviously didn’t take notice. What’s the point in doing something that doesn’t work, just, well I was going to say so “you” aren’t inconveniced but you never were inconveniced you’re just mad that someone else might be.
They did that for 40 years, and you didn’t give a shit and nothing changed. Every effective protest has been more than holding up signs. It’s caused inconvenience and disruption to society so that society takes notice .
I wonder if openai will start working on things that aren’t terrible for society at some point.
