Absolutely, and China is far from perfect. America though will throw trillions to try to maintain a failed economic system while socializing the rich & blaming the “socialists” & “communists.”

When you copyright & privatize everything including the most prominent technology, people can’t innovate & collaborate, nor would they want to. At least in China and I actually give them credit for this, is they don’t have to give a shit about American patents. Whenever most politicians talk about this they act like it is a bad thing. What they’re protecting is actually what is substantially slowing innovation in America, and may actually give China the advantage necessary to win the AI race among others, therefore potentially surpassing America as a superpower & proving that this capitalist agenda everyone is always talking about protecting, is what caused it to fail.

You’re forgetting the most important part. The reason adversaries prevail in other countries & that we have a large number of refugees is because of American terrorism & regime change, colonialism & imperialism. Furthermore, the reason drug cartels even exist is because of the absolute failure in America to treat substance abuse & addiction as an education/health issue, and instead criminalizing & even lying about many substances for decades. Instead, they used it to fill for-profit prisons with non-violent individuals, mostly black people, while subsidizing & assisting pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma to get richer. At the same time, if you’re rich & white, you’re almost completely immune from equal punishment. If you kill one person, and aren’t rich, you’re a murderer. If you’re rich & powerful though & kill thousands or millions, it’s considered business. Fuck America’s lies & the fact that most people are complacent instead of drafting up succession documents, says all you need to know about how people here support America’s tyranny. I absolutely despise what MAGA did on Jan 6, but maybe in some ironic way they deserve some credit for actually being willing to do something rather than sit around watching Netflix.

People vs most people. Also, like I said… a lot of people don’t even know what they want when it comes to these things or what is fictional. I’m sure if you ask a lot of them if phones should have a ghost scanner, a lot of people will say they should.

Sir it sounds like you want a laptop phone. Or do you mean small keys but with mechanical switches?

A lot has changed in 15 years. I personally liked the keyboard on the Sidekick.

No thanks. I want actual buttons like the Sidekick had.

I don’t give a shit what most people want. Most people don’t know what the fuck they want, and if you ask them they’ll start making up even dumber shit because you asked. A keyboard on modern day phone actually has value though for people that know what they want & need. Just because a lot of people use cars doesn’t mean NASCAR should be looking at everyday drivers to design their cars. We’re talking about a triple-fold touch screen here, basically proving my point about what happens when you ask dumb rich people what you should do next.

For God’s sake, people want a keyboard on a phone not more folds. Add a keyboard & become a hero.

Sounds that way. All they’re doing is censorship to protect Israel.

The bubble won’t pop. AI has become a national defense initiative. The only thing that will pop NVIDIA’s bubble is another chip designer coming out with something better. Maybe someone will use AI that ran on NVIDIA to build something else, therefore using NVIDIA to kill NVIDIA.

They’re dissecting hardware & software, installing custom firmware, sharing the info online, etc for others to collaborate on. All the stuff companies will sue you in the US for doing.

Honestly at this point I’m convinced China has won in terms of technology. Not that China is able to produce the smallest chips, but that our capitalistic patent-based approach has prevented the collaboration necessary to innovate actual uses for the technology.

If a partner demand they have it on to prove they’re not cheating, then they should be looking for a different partner.

Brave’s CEO is a homophobic Trump supporter. No thanks.

I mean it does seem to adequately represent the American corpocracy bureaucracy.

Absolutely not the case… I sense a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.

Yes, for the amount of hate Google gets… Which I think it is fair to be critical of any product that compromises privacy… I recently tried helping my mom clean up her iPhone, and seriously like 100x worse. Almost everything you do on Apple demands you have another Apple device. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever dealt with.

For them to disappear with it

At least KDE is working on making their Qt apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.

I wouldn’t trust them to not randomly enable WiFi, but you can also use their modem but disable any built in WiFi on it & still use your own router. ISPs continue to try to bundle their modem & router, which gives them complete access to your home network. Some lucky people have found fiber providers that let them use their own SFP.
