Its getting kind of silly to be afraid of China when big tech is American… There really isnt any logical reason at this point. Just emotional, because people are afraid of China.

The entire west is getting absolutely wrecked by American big tech so its funny to read those articles about how scary China is. I guess we prefer the devil we know, but I dont think China has anything even remotely as capable as American spy agencies and big tech.

I think they mean Google play services yeah. When i was running cyanogenmod on my phone, I had the option to not install Googles play services.

Some apps rely on that being installed but most worked fine without it.

I have the M50 and its also still working, no problems. Also test winner in audio tests.

I bet people will just accept it and not even think twice about it.

There will be a robot standing in that spot in 10 years.

Linux.

Ive been here three years, and ive been accused of being all kinds of things. You cant let it get to you. You should absolutely think about peoples comments and figure out if its about their own issues or if its genuinely a problem with your own personality though.

There are users here who had difficult upbringing because of racism or gender issues, and they will think you are a hateful person if they see a comment they dont agree with on those topics.

Hang in there. If you can make comments and posts that make people feel good (many upvotes), you are helping the community I would say.

Its been an american leadership view for as long as ive been alive that American lives are worth at least a hundred times more than other lives.

That is, in war situations, not in situations where leadership takes care of its citizens. No, there those lives are worth next to nothing. So American leadership is pretty much at war both with its own people and countries who dont want American culture.

Exactly right. Just a bit of exercise every week is enough to get stronger muscles and no pain in back or anywhere else. At least that worked for me, and its easy to do.

Peoples bodies are rarely used for physical work if you work in some sitting down position all day, and it means you lose all muscles with time.

Better than American big tech chats. It may not be private but its a very good chat app. Definently the best designed one from a user interface point of view.

Im super happy to see so many upvotes for this most excellent browser!

Trump.

Probably a good way to spread American culture into the country… Sweden has become super Americanized just because of American movies.

I still have a 12 year old panasonic plasma, 50 inch, absolutely zero problems with it. Value for money has been incredible.

This post is like 2 years old, how did it come up for you :)

In the mean time, people are trying to buy bread and pay for electricity. Nice.

Yes because they are evil.

And now I have to rewatch Silicon Valley again…

If you use cosmic desktop, you can switch the entire desktop from floating to tiling and it works very smoothly

I started out using tiling but actually like floating more now. Still, cool to have such easy switches.

You can use a dedicated tiling window manager but cosmic is a lot more “batteries included” and just works.

Also it seems that they are constantly adding new features so its exciting to see where its going.

Hopefully there will be alternatives popping up. I dont think tech-savvy users will be fine with this. I know I will be seeing what I can do on my phone, thats for sure.
