In the country where pizza is a vegetable, you’re probably not far off. Soon enough they’ll all be drinking Brawndo and water will be known only for being in toilets.

I think it’s pretty common these days to have 240v outlets in the kitchen for exactly this reason, no? Same for electric clothes dryers in laundry rooms.

I appreciate you.

Not to defend that shithole, but honestly, it’s probably just to enforce IP based bans.

Honestly, if you go that route I’d probably recommend using an LLM only for information and asking questions, but run commands yourself and actually read it’s responses. If you don’t understanding something, ask for elaboration. Otherwise, you risk too much automation, letting it set up configurations you don’t have actual understanding of and making a spaghettified mess.

Am I the only one who likes systemd…

What was the problem? It was set to not Microsoft Edge.

That’s the capitol, though, no…?

Huh. Sounds like an easy way for the city to generate revenue.

I wonder why

Fortunately for me, I had not until just now 😒

Sounds like a legal and maintenance nightmare

As per the article: “A nine-day reporting trip by The Washington Post through the region…”.

Ah, interesting. My apologies, I’ve been driving all day and have been checking my phone sporadically and haven’t had the time to properly read the article. I have now.

but it’s so exhausting seeing the same talking points of concern trolls like you who have heard on reddit and Lemmy …

I totally understand, and I do apologize for propagating this behaviour. My knowledge was outdated and that’s no one’s fault but my own.

All in all though, my whole point is honestly just that I don’t really trust any government to be totally truthful in regards to information they share, regardless of whether that’s the US, China, or even my home country, and my initial assumption was that this information was coming from them directly. Clearly, I was incorrect in this case, spouted some outdated shit confidently, and I apologize. I appreciate your patience.

And the information they publish comes from where exactly?

There is no need for snarkiness, by the way. You act like Im attacking you directly. If this is how you communicate, I’m just going to block you and move on with my life.

I’m sure the government that lied about wrongly imprisoning people in the first place is totally being truthful now.

I wouldn’t take the Chinese or US government’s claims at face value.

To be fair, China is 2nd in overall prison population by country globally, so it’s not like their numbers are complete bs. I’m sure there is some fudging in what constitutes as a “prisoner” when they have had “re-education camps” though. That said, the US’s numbers are fucking insane.

A tip: you can build your own car using a Raspberry Pi. There are kits. There are motors and batteries that impress.

I never intended to insult you, I was merely explaining how my ADHD manifests.

I made the incorrect assumption that you were coming from a more neurotypical perspective, and for that, I sincerely apologize, but nowhere did I insult you. If you took this as an insult, again, my apologies.

Sick, infantalizing others because they don’t like to do things the way that works for you. Super cool, man.
