  • Tim Cook sucking up to Trump was a huge letdown for me, too. One would think he’d be against a homophobic fascist as a world leader considering the fact that he’s openly gay, but whatever. Kind of going against his own interests, in many ways, making himself look bad in the eyes of his shareholders and customers…

    I still think they make a solid product regardless of anything else, kind of like how the Tesla Powerwall is a really good powerwall but their cars are shit.

    Can’t beat a Linux server though, that’s always been true.












  • I cannot speak to whether or not Chinese people are racist for choosing a yellow cartoon character with which to describe their president. As far as I know, they don’t do this. I’ve only ever heard this from Western media. If Western media is going to be racist, they can do a lot better than comparing someone to a female bear imprisoned in the London Zoo. I don’t associate female bears with Chinese men, and I don’t think Xi (pronouns: he/him) looks like Winnie the Poo, but hey, maybe some people think that’s what he looks like. I sort of thought it was supposed to be a fat joke? Now that you mention it, this does sound like something boomers would come up with… it’s not exactly a modern cartoon.

    When I said that pornography was banned in China, I was speaking from a place of experience with Chinese corporate censorship. It is true that one can get away with breaking the law in China, simply due to the difficulty of policing such a large population. China has many laws, but some are only enforced in order to tack on more jail time for someone caught for a more serious crime. But, they can sentence pimps and porn producers to death, and they have before… so I guess how one interprets this type of censorship depends on how they feel about that.
