Forced by Harvard university? :)

I have no issues believing that number because the Chinese standard of living has been rising substantially as the decades go. That is trivial to confirm.

You're the one who should be more skeptical of anything that comes from the US. As it stands you don't believe anything that comes from China, but believe anything that comes from the US about China.

Sounds like you should start applying more neutral standards to how you process information. The world isn't that black or white.

Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that buddy.

I'm sure you also used that cope when Harvard university (that well-known Chinese university) found 95.5% of Chinese people are happy with their government, compared to only 38% of USians.

People on Lemmy are really good at seeing past capitalist propaganda, except when it comes to China. At that point it's just straight up US state department talking points.

Word. Unfortunately I cannot like Ubuntu for all of canonicals decisions, but there's no doubt they have designed the most iconic Linux DE there is.

So much so that if someone who doesn't use Linux thinks of Linux, they imagine Ubuntu.

Cool. Is anything gonna happen? No? Then who cares. Just smoke and mirrors.

It will take way longer for them to shut down all individual servers than it takes them to ask 1 company to shut down all posts.

Not to mention the dissent that arrises from one server being asked to shut down, how many others would suddenly start hosting anti-turkey regime stuff.

Its like piracy: you can't really shut it down. Even if Turkey would make accessing the fediverse illegal, people would still use VPNs.

It's opt-in in the same way the Co-pilot that one day just appeared installed on your computer was opt-in. /s

Its not like there isn't a backlash against Android either. There's a reason why projects like GrapheneOS exist.

No worries, I also started test driving Linux a month ago in preparation for when Windows 10 stops being officially supported.
