I mean as someone of Chinese descent who is repulsed by the Chinese government's actions despite them looking like me, I think my existence alone disproves your argument. I don't doubt that there are some people who do think like that, but I do doubt that they make up anywhere near a majority.

I know right, imagine putting in so much effort just to strip some people of their most basic and fundamental human rights and thinking you're the victim.

Wish GDPR had the same kind of teeth.

True, that's part of the reason I switched to Gentoo

That depends for me. Is it open source? If so, check the source code, you can see for yourself whether that third party is doing anything shady? Anything closed source like WhatsApp, however, and I 100% agree with you.

Maybe it would be a good idea to collaborate with neighbours or friends or such, economies of scale and whatnot.

I use ZFS, not BTRFS, but both have snapshots, and if you're someone who likes to tinker with their system like me, it lets you do so without worrying that it will break.

Imagine banning books, at all. Sure doesn't sound horrificly authoritarian to me /s

In a sense, I kind of half-agree with you. I think spamming anti-Google propaganda should be done, but in a more mainstream platform instead of something like Lemmy where almost everyone already agrees and likely have taken appropriate measures.

Chrome and Google hatred is 100% deserved and OOP should carry on with their crusade.
