Here’s the true form

Aisle seat and I get to chill with Jackie?

Xiaomi 11Ts are going for about $300 and are great. Mines been running for almost 3 years now and is still as snappy as day 1. Battery lasts about 2 days of regular use and even with heavy usage will still usually last all day.

The HyperOS is alright, but they do really want you to use their wallpaper app. Luckily rooting is easy and you can unlock the bootloader from the developer options screen.

Final plus is the fastboot splash screen is a communist rabbit fixing the android guy.

Hexbear is down too much for me to be dependent on it

Ugh. It just devolves into “China 1984 Tianamem Uighur” like 2/3rds of the way though right after saying “US users broke out of their echo chamber”

But at what cost?

Voldenort

One attempt by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank, estimated that China spent over 1.7% of GDP on industrial policy in 2017-19, which would add up to over $3trn in today’s dollars if sustained for a decade. That money could have been spent on other things, such as health care, which might have better served the public: fewer EVs, more ICUs.

Ohh! Now do the US, but military spending over a decade instead of industrial policy!

“They basically think that rich countries are those that make stuff and the richest countries are those that make the most advanced stuff,” says Gerard DiPippo of the RAND Corporation, a think-tank. Although in many ways China’s big bet on industrial policy has paid off, there have also been large downsides. Just as Voldemort twisted the behaviour of the people he possessed, the policy that must not be named has skewed the evolution of the economy it inhabited.

Braindead RAND guy, large downsides must just be that this author keeps calling them Voldemort.

Not bad for a side hustle in the States and not bad for a main hustle if your bilingual and live in a country with a reasonable cost of living

That one also hit us hard

Trackin round 2. Either through the link or though the app.

Hey, The Music Man was great

Just delete everything after the ?

I love the DPRK as much as the next person, but they really need to develop a posting economy there. For all it’s faults, the internet and mass communication between countries really spoils a lot of the low hanging propaganda fruit.

Online shit is free, plus it’s fun to organize an event like that in the same way it’s fun to contribute to a zine even if it’s not actually revolutionary activity

No one thinks that online agit prop will bring about revolution, but it’s not gonna hurt and isn’t really taking away from anything.

They did that Foundation and Empire show, pretty mid, but a massive IP to get and there was like no advertising for it.

I’m pretty sure my indoor cats taunt the outdoor cats in my neighborhood. They’ll sit high up in the window at night staring at them for a while, then they go get treats and keep staring.

I just walk mine on a leash

Love that most of these companies downsized over the past few years and literally won’t have enough space for their employees. This is just a way to couch layoffs.

When the list is suddenly long enough that it’s used as the census

You did, I was just batch responding to everyone that got pinged by the bot report

I was just passing the message along lol, leaving those in just means they know a bunch of people from Hexbear followed your link
