Uhhhh well maybe you’re privvy to some insider information you’d like to share? Because they’ve announced no such intention.

Yes but you can literally have “known supported hardware” without literally building a “ground up Linux machine”.

That’s cool but probably unnecessary. The vast majority of hardware works fine.

I definitely opted for an AMD GPU in my new gaming rig specifically to run Linux/ChimeraOS, and hopefully one day SteamOS.

When you get around to a new laptop, look out for one that is Linux compatible. Unfortunately many hardware OEMs don’t take the time to provide drivers for Linux, and that causes problems.

Isreal showing us what an actual genocide of a captive Muslim population looks like

…are you under the impression that this is the first genocide in the history of the human race?

I’m advocating for people to think critically

When did you do that?

I proved that you were wrong about China

Uhhhh nope, sure didn’t do that either.

You have to engage with propaganda critically

I do, which is precisely why I don’t fall for shitty CCP propaganda, unlike yourself.

They’re marching us towards war with China and you’re falling for it.

We’ve been at war with China for a long long time.

So you don’t think it’s possible for someone to support a project and simultaneously acknowledge that it doesn’t suit everyone’s use-case?

Jesus Tittyfucking Christ, how can you be so ignorant?

It’s absolutely 1000% worse and the insistence that it’s not is incredibly demeaning to the people suffering from it.

No one in the US is legally working for $0.10/hr. Everyone in the US has the right to free expression. Everyone has the right to openly protest the government. Where are you even getting this stuff?

That’s how propaganda works. They repeat a lie over and over until everyone is saying it,

Remind me how many times you’ve repeated yourself in this thread?

Should I ignore the gov. that repeats that COVID is dangerous? Or should I ignore Trump when he repeats that it’s completely harmless over and over again? Should I ignore Xi when he repeats over and over again that he’s not a dictator?

The notion that repetition = propaganda is completely senseless.

You’re advocating for people to ignore everything they know and have been told their whole lives in favor of…what, conspiracy theories?

Oh this makes a lot of sense, actually.

I’m pretty sure humans need to not die from COVID 🙄

Right, we should all just lock ourselves in cages like animals at the zoo so that no one is allowed to take any risks or enjoy their lives, because “not dying” is the only thing that matters…

Meanwhile, my country didn’t give a shit about the fact that I wanted to be safe.

Of course they did. They just weren’t allowed to enforce totalitarian measures to make that happen like the Chinese.

This is just a lie.

Nope. Pretty much everyone is in agreement about this except you so I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you’re the one lying.

Just like that, hey? Good thing you invested as much time into that as you did coming to troll the readers of this thread.

Dude what in the absolute fuck are you even talking about? Once again, I ask, why would the CCP send people around the internet to talk shit about them? This is a classic Trump tactic of accusing other people of the thing you’re doing. However yours is particularly pathetic and non-sensical. Bye bye now.

You really should start looking into the sources for more articles you read about China

I do. I think it’s about time you gave it a try.

And it worked.

Go figure, when you don’t have to concern yourself at all with what your citizens want or need, you can accomplish some incredible things at their expense.

You know what would have been more effective? Not lying about it and covering it up for several months.

The simple answer to all of your questions is that none of them are on nearly the same scale as the CCP.

one single guy who has stated it is his mission from God to bring down China.

LOL what? Which guy is that?

propaganda is incredibly effective

That much becomes more clear to me every day. I didn’t realize there were CCP trolls in Lemmy already.

I don’t think a single person was sentenced for that tantrum

They absolutely were. And that “tantrum” was people literally having the doors of their homes welded shut so that they couldn’t leave.

Yeah Chinese laborers were paid pennies per hour by mostly Western capitalists (and increasingly internal Chinese capitalists). How is that the government’s fault?

How is it not? Every country is responsible for their own minimum wage.

You’re literally a CCP bot

🤣😂🤣😂 I don’t even know where to start with that. Why would the CCP want a bot that recites all of their atrocities?

I banish you.

Well. No. Ya don’t.

Really not looking for whataboutisms to justify their atrocities…

Someone buys an expensive car. They say “I cant use the railway!” Are you going to tell them they’re wrong?

Yes. Because they are.

We dont know if they live next to a railway line. They’re also heavily invested in the car and unlikely to pay out for rail tickets.

None of which indicates they “can’t use the railway”. It may not be their preferred travel method, which is fine (in the metaphorical sense), but to say they “can’t” use the railway is simply untrue.

OP said “the software and driver support isn’t there”.

Someone replied and corrected them to explain the software and driver support does in fact exist.

OP replied to say that what he actually meant was that it didn’t support the specific software and driver they wanted to use.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable conversation.
