At least they’re doing some things right

Good. Pirate it all if it makes the product FOSS and more efficient.

Maybe not in a vacuum, but compared to pretty much any other government in the world right now, they are still very much worthy of admiration lol

Finally a proper good open source model as all tech should be

Pretty sure that’s more like a human problem

Love how silly libs are about Mao lmao

Would be pretty cool if it were a reference to his works, but it seems to be a coincidence. Apparently Chinese people don’t really call it “little red book” and just call it 毛主席语录 (Máo Zhǔxí Yǔlù) aka “Quotations from Mao Zedong”. Mandarin speakers in Rednote are very confused when westerners are asking them about the name being a reference lol

Strong contrast to certain shitty countries that tie more debt to education instead

It’s actually pretty good. The algorithm prefers new users while making it hard to be ridiculously popular.

Needs some translation features though, and I imagine alot of English speakers aren’t gonna be used to China’s content moderation.

Shame it’s Duolingo though. HelloChinese and DuChinese are way better for actually learning the language.

“Stole” as if “intellectual property” has any right to exist in the first place. Pirate them all, any sane person should.

India and China don’t trust each other much at all

Seems to be changing now thanks to this summit

Shame to see this shit from torvalds

Attack on titan based analysis was not something I was expecting to see here

Turkey contributes the second highest number of personnel to NATO so it wouldn’t be easy to replace.

It’s also one of israel’s primary trading partners, despite its pro-Palestinian rhetoric. Hopefully this is the start of a change in its foreign policy, though I doubt any major changes will happen while Erdogan is in power.
