Have you successfully identified even a single unlabeled bot on lemmy?

both lemmy.ml and hexbear.net are blocked in china

Correct, I had to move to this instance when I was traveling in China.

because they block all foreign social media as a general practice

Kinda, but lemmy.world? Not blocked, despite being bigger than .ml and hb.

How many times have you been about to eat shit, and thought “If only I could fall an additional 7” and really just fuck my day up"

Free gravel appears instantaneously at will, but only in the very center of Ohio

Its so trusting! I don’t know if I can bring myself to eat large trucks anymore.

Lol. Which do I use in Vietnam? Serbia? If I’m in Canada and Trump threatens to invade, should I switch to the pixel for a week?

From what I hear you can either 1. Register with Xiaomi and try to unlock it once a month. 2. Slip a service center worker with special access like 100RMB or buy a pre-unlocked one on taobao. 3. Ask said worker to downgrade firmware, then, before they relock it, snatch phone and run out of the store.

What if I am american, but travel to both countries? I am thinking xiaomi w/ custom ROM?

Can you at least put a custom ROM on to disable this?

You are free to say anything that doesn’t draw the ire of cops, politician, or immigration agents. Otherwise, you might get the shit kicked out of you, thrown in prison on bs charges, or deported/denied entry.

Only those who don’t move dont notice their chains.

Chinese indexes/etfs are mostly good for its stability, overall it doesnt grow as much as other markets, but it tends not to drop as much either.

What level of imperialism-brain do you need to think freeing a people from literal slavery is a bad thing?

They werent invaded, they were liberated. They were invaded by their former masters, with US backing in the 50s.

And during the 1950s, the US trained the former slaves owners, gave them weapons, then airdropped them into Tibet to lead an uprising, they were lynched by their former slaves, but even today is still angling to install the Dali Lama as the head of state.

If China said “yall are on your own”, do you think the US would stop doing what it is currently doing, giving money, weapons (when applicable), and diplomatic support to reactionaries who want to return to those days?

Or do you think they would suffer an immediate economic recession without China funding their development?

Yes? They’ve lifted a billion people out of poverty, produce more green energy than the rest of the world combined, helped fight the Japanese in WWII, I might have my criticisms of the CPC, particularly regarding their lack of support for LGBT+, allowing Shanghai to fuck over zero covid until it had to be abandoned, and some really dumb laws, overall I have to support them because we’ve seen what happens when liberalism triumphs over communism. If you’re lucky, your entire populace is immiserated and you get decades of rightwing dictators robbing the populace blind, see the former USSR, If your not, anyone who isn’t right of Reagan is shot, see Korea and Indonesia.

Theres a lot of diverse opinions with chinese people, especially travelers.

What, do you want to bring back the theocratic, slave-owning Lamas? I haven’t been to Tibet to as them, but I really doubt the average person wants what you seem to want for them.

Where is that?

Why would someone who doesn’t live in China give a shit about Chinese spyware, especially when the alternative is any of the big US/EU manufacturers who happily hand your information to your own government?

China can’t do shit to yall. I’d include myself in there, but I quite enjoyed my time in China and intend to return, so Chinese spyware could actually be a threat to me.

I understood them as expensive toys, like an old Italian project car that’s fun to tool around in in nice weather, but when you need to get to work, you drive your car, but experiencing its role in SEA completely change my perspective. They can be cheap, boring, functional machines, with a suprisingly high capacity. that even a dog can perform basic maintenance on and keep running for decades, that work just fine in rain.
