They haven’t repeated it so I think it was a one-off thing.

Usually they stick with “gangster capitalists”

Don’t use Proton anyway, they’re NATO aligned and have written blogposts about how “Venezuelans and Brazilians” should use their service in order to agitate against the government.

It’s also not even open source even in the loosest sense. They released the source code for the client programs but the servers themselves are kept proprietary. Therefore, you’re still relying on Proton being a good neighbor.

If you need a VPN for torrent port-forwarding and geospoofing then use AirVPN, if you don’t need port forwarding then just buy Mullvad.

VPNs are not a solution for security though. The best thing you can do on the web is to install ublock origin and use DNS over HTTPS (aka Secure DNS) and use Noscript.

The only people who got anything meaningful from the show.

I mean, the state media has delivered bangers like Joe Biden is a rabid dog and should be beaten to death with a stick.

How is the consumer electronics proliferation in Democratic Korea? Meaning what % of the people have access to mobile phones, laptops and desktop computers? How about home appliances like fridges, vacuums, etc. Is there a rural-urban gap?

How integrated is marxism-leninism in school education? Is everyone required to understand the fundamentals of marxism/dialectical materialism?

It’s a shibboleth, there are people who use CCP who are not anti-China but people who use CPC are more likely to not be anti-China. I wouldn’t get caught up in the name out loud with someone.

Historically both names have been used when localized into English. Though there is an argument to be had the CCP implies some sort of international communist cabal (a la red scare) while the CPC is more accurate as the Communist party is just one of the many political parties in China (including autonomous govts in Hong Kong and Taiwan).

Unfortunately they do

You can’t win them all.

Now that I found out that “Smogon” (german name for the pokemon koffing) is a nazi dogwhistle for gas chambers I’ve basically put my eggs into nuzlockes, fan games/romhacks and VGC, very comfortable content.

Horrible, but thank you.

“But at what cost” is the West’s trigger phrase for having their citizens imagine horrible things, get mad at their imagination, skim the article which confirms their imagination, and then go about their day like nothing happened.

Can you send links to the video? I’d like to download and watch it.

I’ve always been anti free speech.

Holdomor wasn’t a genocide is like, really obscure. I doubt most people could tell you that Holdomor is a Ukrainian word or that it is the word for famine. This is just so specific to alienate “tankies” who would be the only ones to actually investigate the claim.

The examples given were pretty bad, they should have just stuck with social policy examples instead of historical binaries.

I found this English article on furries in China, they exist in the same way that furries do everywhere: misunderstood.

imagine having art skills and this is the shit you draw.

Then it’ll just hallucinate something like “Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro stormed Florida in the Bay of Pigs revolution to increase communism”

kid interact with it and have them direct the story to be what they want.

Choose your own adventure novels have been doing this with zero silicon. Video games like Minecraft are the pinnacle of choose your own narrative game design and don’t deplete the ozone layer. It’s just capitalists trying to keep their heads above water as they move to the next shiniest thing. There is no logic to this. Like there’s more money to be had in non-AI slop but the capitalists are so detached that they’ll sink the entire ship.

Maybe we should use our technology and tremendous productive power to shorten the work day, maximize the time parents have to play pretend with kids and actually get those language skills working as well as they can instead of relying on AI slop?

But then those workers would feel entitled to being treated well, who knows what could happen!?

Puts the DPRK at #1.

Checks out, checks out.

• UNjust KKKrime-dom sounds fun, I might snatch that.
• FRAUDnce too.
• New Steal-land is hilarious.

the others aren’t very good though. Maybe it needs more CO2 emissions to cook harder.

Slightly more seriously, the people who can actually do things will go to countries where they can actually do them. The US ripping the copper wire out of everything will reverse any sort of intellectual dominance that it once had.
