Sure yeah I could be wrong. If America scares them more than China it’s a major turning point because they are European.

What I initially got from their comment: They are more concerned about actually real threats in their life like Google, Meta, or Apple which are American and are probably what they are using at work and outside of work given they live in Europe. They are less concerned about china because they don’t use chinese phones daily or hangout in weChat (I hope).

Where I can of course be wrong about this: They are actually using Tiktok and don’t care about the possible spying. They could be using chinese tech and simply not know. main concern is if they are on some tech stack at work or their ISP has equipment from chinese companies known to phone home.

if you want an academic discussion about world war accelerating events you will have more luck pestering your local professor rather than demanding evidence from someone who isn’t intending to apply too much rigor on a lemmy post.

thats not what they said did they? they said they are more concerned about American companies harvesting their data as they live in Europe and don’t have as much affinity to China.

oh nuanced! you’re so sophisticated! first don’t dismiss others as if they have no idea. acknowledge you may not be the smartest in the room. Otherwise you come off as a clown.

critical thinking is when you can differentiate a multimillion dollar corporation defending itself vs. pilots and crew who have nothing to gain and a lot of risk coming out about how bad their ex-employer screwed up and swept it under the rug. this sort of stuff is not uncommon from corporations.

I am more likely to believe that Air India was screwing up because they have a history of this. If a lot of people complain about smoke coming out of places it shouldn’t be, then i would listen to them rather than the owner who pretends everything is fine.

username checks out. You should leave the critical thinking to people who aren’t born yesterday

only if you deliberately bury your head at evidence or on Boeing payroll.

that was a horrifying read as a software engineer but also as an Indian.

Don’t say this here. The people here don’t like charity from rich folk. While I agree it is worthwhile to point out that taxation and good governance is better than rich people charity. these folk are a bit too angry for their own good.

I see one: he actually did something instead of a council that blows all of the money on meetings

You speak like a LLM

you’re a dumbass

activism is not the bad word that far-right groups have indoctrinated people to believe it is.

having their wheels stolen

I am pretty sure in the car parts thievery guild, showing up with something from a Tesla is sure to get yourself excommunicated and even banished.

Because it’s made out of cheese

The west mocks homeopathy but practices it with it’s own food.

I pay a subscription to nebula and most of the creators i want are on there.

This comment of yours immediately evokes the idea of the right hand that doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.

The right hand is the security theatre that the west is showing its citizens against foreign adversaries who hack their devices and introduce vulnerabilities.

Meanwhile the left hand has been doing mass layoffs and moving manufacturing off-shore ever since the 60s and 70s and trying to fuck over it’s own labour forces to make exponential profits.

Whats funny here is that you guys are bitching about “foreign adversaries” while also handing over the blueprints of your entire infrastructure to said adversaries without giving them anything valuable in return for their cheap labour cost and weak laws.

What did you expect to happen?

I am sure you’re a “genius” who thinks people are poor or living paycheck to paycheck because its only their fault. But you wouldn’t know anybody.

Thats a deluded take.

Must be a sysadmin who wants time alone with his server.
