That is very dumb. There’s got to be a black market of this stuff but honestly you can probably get a comparable mini computer for a similar price off AliExpramazon. Might have to return it a few times but a lot of folks seem to have success with them. Pop Linux* on there and you’re basically at parity.

*Edit: not pop_os Linux although that’s fine too, I just meant install

Did you ever try getting gud?

These all sound good for the Chinese as a people, my question was about the government being trustworthy in what it tells people.

1st and 3rd links seem potentially good, the wage increase…you must know that’s a terrible comparison.

It was just amusing since we are neighbors. Quite close as in the distance is 0 😁

Nothing wrong with the English, just a funny phrasing.

And this post is a great example of how the democrats shifted further and further to the right wing.

I see dot-ml users are accidentally upvoting me because I shat on the democrats. While they do suck in this case the demonstration is actually that someone who is trying to coddle the dot-ml groupthink shifts further and further into that groupthink for zero meaningful gains. They still got heavily downvoted despite trying to reach out to the hive mind. This is what happens to democrats who try to coddle the analogous republican groupthink. They too shift further into the groupthink and are punished by everyone for it.

Please adjust your votes accordingly.

But don’t you define lackeys as being people who also say china isn’t trustworthy? Ie it’s a circular logic you seem to got there, based on past ml experiences.

Let’s start with: governments are untrustworthy being made of people

So who told you china is trustworthy?

It’s it now?

Can you honestly even claim you answered the question? You didn’t even do a complete sentence on the topic before shifting into a diatribe against capitalism.

Wait you still have shared machines in 2025? This isn’t 1998 Netscape navigator porn.

My computer is amd and it computes real nice

I think he also called his supporters dumb

Wow you really were gonna get that out regardless of the post topic, weren’t you?

Lol, “quite close”

I wanted my computer to be secure but headless. Suse, fedora both had supposed instructions but in classic Linux style they had a bunch of out of date commands and software and it didn’t work. Fedora always required a human to enter a password on boot, suse just bricked.

Endeavarch had instructions (a maze of unclear gibberish, to be honest) that actually worked and did what I wanted with minimal fuss and it’s been operating well for 2 years.

Your opinion is fact and you’re apparently pro slavery. Got it, bye.

😆

Well… Mine has the evidence of history. You rejected history and called pretty much every historical figure ever an outlier. I don’t know what to do with that. (Besides move on with my life)

Don’t be such a ridiculous fucking hater you blind yourself to reality

Barring literally everything else, this steam box shares its lineage with the Xbox, not Sony or Nintendo’s products. Speaking as one who ran xbmc on their classic first-gen it’s nice to see things coming full circle to “everything is just a media center pc, bitches”.

At this point it sounds like you’re saying “I don’t have proof but under everything I think people are Good and every counter example is actually something else.”

I don’t think this can be argued against because it’s just a closely held belief. That is, you can’t logic someone out of a belief they didn’t logic themselves into. Therefore I am stopping here.

Sure, it counts. Which is Firefox’s point. If you make a definition super broad, and some people will always try to extend the meaning of words until they explode like a Samsung battery, then you need to protect yourself by removing language that might be in contrast to that extremely broad definition. You can assign whatever nefarious intent you want to mozilla but their claims make logical internal sense.
