Zuck is an ass kisser with no friends. Fuck him. Get off his platforms if you haven’t already.
- Comment on Chinese apps face scrutiny in US but users keep scrolling. 1 week ago:
It’s been a nice window into their culture and daily lives, and they’ve been extremely welcoming. As an American that is pretty much burnt out on my country’s bullshit and inability to be respectful and friendly, that is a breath of fresh air.
- Comment on Chinese apps face scrutiny in US but users keep scrolling. 1 week ago:
I’ve been on Rednote for a while now and learning and chatting with Chinese folks has made me less anxious, more mindful, and generally more positive. It’s teaching me Taoism, QiGong, and given me tea and food recipes.
I’ve since deleted every Meta account because western social media has given me nothing but meaningless, empty scrolling, anxiety, and bombarded me with ads—a lot of which were extremely questionable.
Another major shift has come in online shopping, where Americans are flocking to digital Chinese marketplaces such as Temu and Shein in search of ultra-low prices on clothes, home goods, and other items.
I don’t shop at these places but this is what happens when you make absolutely everything in America way too expensive while paying people shit. They find cheaper alternatives.
Western social media will use all of your data to spy on you on a daily basis. If we’re going to criticize Chinese social media, the spotlight needs to be turned on America also. Meta is predatory, and has helped fuel genocide, and TikTok is now a compromised mess.

This is the way.

Yep. Corporations are scared of open source AI, especially when it makes OpenAI look like dog shit.
- Comment on China’s DeepSeek AI poses formidable cyber, data privacy threats 3 weeks ago:
AI in the hands of the ruling class is a collective threat to the world. Apple Intelligence, Copilot computers—they are all gateways for corporations to circumvent security. They scour and process every piece of data on your devices in order to process it all. It’s going to become a shitty Trojan horse: offers nothing of value to people and we handwave it away, while it casually peeks into all of our “secure” apps on a daily basis.

lol no. Go outdoors and put that shit on DND. Scroll later. Can’t stand when I see someone craned over a phone when they’re somewhere surrounded by nature.

It’s only brain rot if it’s all you do all day long. Everything in moderation. It’s also often times the only window into other cultures for people that don’t have the money to travel. I’d rather scroll through stuff that teaches me something, than I would the endless US oligarchy brain rot feeds.

Why not both? The grass isn’t that wonderful everywhere.

I like Loops too! I’ve ditched everything except Loops and RedNote for social media.

I think it only uses it for initial verification. I already get a ton of spam on my number so it doesn’t really bother me. Highly recommend checking some of the content out though if you want an unfettered view into everyday life in China. It’s been a fun adventure.

Hello, RedNote.

For me it did the opposite. I had 78 new games played last year alone, and a good amount of them were ones I’ve had in my library for a while.

Yeah, that’s how I hope this plays out. I’d love to see a fork take off with a healthier community.
- Comment on WordPress leader Matthew Mullenweg exiles five contributors • The Register 5 weeks ago:
WordPress is dead. Those contributora have all been there for ages. Without them behind it and Matt continuing to shit where he eats, there’s no coming back. It will stick around because it runs a metric fuckton of the web, but I foresee it basically being in a state of super unexciting maintenance mode.

- Comment on TikTok tells LA staff impacted by wildfires to use personal/sick hours if they can't work from home 1 month ago:
Had a boss years ago here in the US that told me I had used up all of my PTO during a time of mourning and funeral preparation. My dad was dying/died during that time and the boss was telling me this because I had to take 2 weeks off to spend time with my dying father who was in Hospice with cancer, as well as arrange the funeral and care for my mom.
The empire can’t burn fast enough.

I’m getting my ass repeatedly handed to me in Stalker 2 but enjoying it. Also continuing to dump hours into Vampire Survivors. Started replaying Road Redemption also so I can get my modern day Road Rash fix.

I just started a new NV game and maybe I can finally say the same. I’ve got like 300+ hours into Fallout 4 and still haven’t completed the main story.

Is the right getting mad because they have no one fun left to yell at on X now? They can always yell at each other. They’re good at eating their own.

The TikTok ban used to be about trying to squash pro-Palestine sentiments and media. I guess this works too.

Anyone that uses “woke” unironically is not someone I will ever take seriously. Criticizing someone for having awareness of reality is peak modern day anti-intellectualism.
