Empathy

Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.

I don't mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn't technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.

Easiest solution IMO if you're already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there's probably other alternatives, even open source ones. Good terms to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.

I'm pretty damn left leaning and I've never been called a tankie. I rarely even see anyone being called a tankie, except people who are defending authoritarians. The scope of the word "tankie" seemed generally pretty clear to me.

I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?

I want to add that, like you, I've become a big fan of restricting the numbers of ways to do something.

IMO, It's more time wasted choosing, more time wasted reviewing, and makes it easier to overlook errors. I want more opinionated languages and frameworks.

I kept seeing so many different ones recommended and I kept getting weird issues I didn't understand with most of them. I don't often need to make a bootable Linux USB, but every time, Rufus did the job quick and easy.

If it were the US vs another democratic country, I would feel like that too.

I'm particularly concerned with China (and Russia) because:

• They are not a democratic country.
• They do not have freedom of speech like most countries
• As far as I perceive, they are generally enemies of well-intentioned countries.

I might have a different perspective though. I'm a fairly recent US immigrant from Canada.

Edit: I'd like to add, my tone may come across wrong over written text, I'm just trying to understand people's overall perspective and whether mine is different, I'm not trying to argue and I'm not upset at you nor any of the commenters I've seen on similar posts.

I'm a bit worried about the amount of people I see making this argument whenever I see posts about a TikTok ban/acquisition.

I'm getting the impression that, either:

1. People don't believe there's (significant) Chinese propaganda on TikTok.
2. People believe there would be (significant) US propaganda on TikTok following an acquisition.
3. Given the choice, people would rather see Chinese propaganda than US propaganda.

Am I correct? Is there a nuance I'm missing?

I can understand concerns over point #2 here, but #1 and #3 seem wild to me.

Great to know this was a bug. It felt a tad immersion breaking for every origin character to be so interested all of a sudden.

I love both proprietary software and open source software, and personally I kinda like this warning.

How much of a concern it is for software's code to be proprietary, is probably personal opinion. For this reason, maybe yellow is a bit too much? I think making these errors grayscale might be a good middle ground.

Pulling changes should be trivial after you've done it a few times.
