  • No journalists on the ground found any indication of a mass casualty event on Tiananmen Square

    ON Tiananmen Square. This is fascist-level wordplay. The same journalists found a massacre all around Tiananmen Square in the rest of Beijing.

    no evidence that Chinese tanks actually killed anyone on 6/4

    This is just a straight up lie. Lots of people were killed in Beijing. Just possibly not any within the tiny physical confines of Tiananmen Square itself.

    If the 3 biggest OS were all FOSS, I would agree.

    Right now, Linux is the ONLY major OS that respects user freedom and privacy. Full stop.

    The community around Linux isn’t there because user preference; the real reason it exists and so many people are passionate about it is because FOSS software is the difference between a future that looks like Star Trek, and one that looks like Cyberpunk 2077.



  • Like China sucks, but they’re not wrong when they say the US is the most destabilising influence in world politics.

    Oh my god are we really doing this. It’s like an elephant took a shit, and a rhino took a shit, and the rhino says that the elephant shit is going to make a worse sandwich.

    Sure, you could technically argue that the rhino shit is 2% smaller, you’re still shoving a giant rhino shit sandwich in your mouth.

    And “stable/unstable” is not the best metric either. An authoritarian militaristic dictatorship is often more “stable” than a Democracy. You can force stability on a population by taking all their rights away. Doesn’t make it a good thing.
