On the one hand, Chinese companies get an unfair advantage domestically. On the other, I would love to see Google sweat.

What about all this other Chinese crap I own?

I ain’t arguing it’s a good setup. Somewhere there’s a spreadsheet showing how many dead pets they can get away with before their cost-saving strategy goes into the red.

They save money by offloading the processing to your phone.

I can’t imagine using the web without firefox and ublock. Even the cookie consent popups are awful.

I gave Bluesky a shot and didn’t really like it. This might have to do with how I never liked Twitter before or after the rebranding.

I do think the branding is way better than mastodon though.

B-but china bad. My oil tycoon told me so.

You mean Twitter?

That would be terrible news if their purpose was fighting crime.
