European Union imposes tariffs on Chinese EVs
  • They don't subsidise the export cars at all. They subsidise R&D and domestic sales (which in turn gives them more money for R&D as well). They also give low interest loans for setting up new factories that produce green products.

    The EU should just do the same.

    I don't understand people who work in silence.
  • The people who make YT Music and Spotify must have autism, because they too assume it's normal to listen to the same handful of songs every day.

    When I vent about this IRL people agree that it's ridiculous, but then I go online and I see the opposite, complaints that the service recommended a new song or a song they didn't like. They even took out the discovery button from YT Music.

    Saudi Arabia: Neom workers speak of '16-hour work days' in undercover film
  • 21000 people sounds unbelievable. Are these film makers credible? 21000 people! I feel like you could say almost anything about the working conditions on these projects and I'd believe it at face value, but 21000!?

    China and the Vatican agree to extend an agreement on appointing bishops | AP News
  • I see. In this case I think Cardinal Kung Foundation simply doesn't know or are lying. They're based in Washington DC, which is the headquarters of the USA regime, and those are the people who recently spent 1.6 milliard USD on anti-China propaganda. They obviously have an agenda. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/house-passes-16-billion-to-deliver-anti-china-propaganda-overseas/ar-AA1qp59U

    I'll show you the podcast I was listening to when I saw your original comment. It was basically saying the exact opposite at the exact time I read your statement. https://youtu.be/H672okUKCeQ?t=4479 It's mostly just an ironic situation, rather than being some rigorous academic source. But still, it seemed more credible, since it was a person who lives there. Meanwhile your source names 'CCP', which is either a made up thing or a slur version of CPC. CPC is the political party leading China. They set the goals for the different Chinese governments to achieve.

    Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
  • A capitalist is someone who owns capital, not someone who supports capitalism. A liberal is someone who supports capitalism. I don't think Linus is a liberal, given that he's the Linux guy. But he's obviously a capitalist, and that's okay, that's something you should strive towards if you live under capitalism, even if ideologically you oppose capitalism.

  • thought-terminating cliché

    There's no argument, it's the definition of the word. Why do you assume there should be argument around the normal usage of a word?

    Moldovans back joining the EU by razor-thin majority
  • Big news, and it's good they're polling on important issues where the government position and popular position are clearly in disagreement. But it's weird the reporting would take this angle.

    a pivotal referendum clouded by allegations of Russian interference.

    I mean it's not that weird, more typical, blatant and dishonest. Especially when they address an allegation, but then ignore the confirmed case of USA interference. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/19/moldova-election-protection-biden-russia-00184429

    China and the Vatican agree to extend an agreement on appointing bishops | AP News
  • The 2018 agreement sought to find a middle ground, although Rome has acknowledged it was a bad deal and the only one it could get. The Holy See’s outreach to China under Francis has drawn criticism, especially from American conservatives who have accused the Vatican of selling out the faithful who have been forced underground.

    What is the compromise? Seems relevant to the article about a thing to explain what the thing is.

    Anon has an opinion
  • I looked it up out of curiosity. The post acknowledges, or at least implies that 4chan users use more slurs, and doesn't touch on racism otherwise.
    For my part, I don't think there's a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.

    Here's the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210922182734/https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/pt2gel/4chan_is_actually_more_welcoming_than_reddit/

  • Reddit's whole identity is racism. I think maybe OOP was trying to say an apples to apples comparison is possible.

    Firefox adds option to remove 'List All Tabs' button after user backlash
  • Just brainstorming, but you can put a js cryptominer in the background, and then leave it open but hidden. Or load ads, but not actually show them to the user. Probably neither of those use-cases are allowed by addons.mozilla.org TOS, but what they don't find, they can't moderate.

    You don't need to watch the video. Tom Scott/None of the interview subjects ever point out how fucked this is, but basically the story is rich sadists would put coins in boiling water and then throw them at poor children to watch them endure injury for small amounts of money as a form of entertainment.

    He used to be a super villain, and now every time I see his name it's related to something unambiguously anti-imperialist he's said. When did this happen? Am I just completely wrong on something? Either his recent statements or on his past.
