I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

“Hysteria”, that’s one way to belittle people.

I’m not putting words in your mouth, that’s what you said in your comment:

Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It’s just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split.

No evidence the TPP wants to fight to keep their freedom? From the article you linked:

China_ must know that it will have to pay a high price if it invades, said Ko.

And I already posted this from your article but here again:

The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

China is the one threatening with an invasion, but it’s the fault of the westerners?

Also: why so aggressive? Isn’t that a bit too western for you?

Engaging with China is a really broad thing to say, from the article that you posted about the TPP:

“Taiwan’s relationship with China is based on two principles: Deterrence and communication,” said Ko Wen-je from the TPP People’s Party in Taipei on Friday.

…

The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

You said the TPP is pro-china, like the KMT, but to me it doesn’t read like that at all. China wants reunification, the TPP is highly against that and is willing to fight for their freedom.

They don’t even consider themselves Chinese anymore, why would they want to reunite?

Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were “not ready yet”.

Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

It’s really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That’s obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.

I could use a profile picture

Done! Never did before, but I guess the headline had the right effect.

From the article:

The Commission found that Israeli Security Forces killed 183 of these protesters with live ammunition. Thirty-five of these fatalities were children, while three were clearly marked paramedics, and two were clearly marked journalists.

They belong(ed) to the german royal house “Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha” and changed their name to “Windsor” after WW1 to not be affiliated with germany anymore. I don’t know if that’s enough to call them foreign though.

Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they’ve also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.

Valid opinion and immutable distros like silverblue might be where the future is headed.

It’s not the point though, I’m not going with a distro that tries to force their proprietary solution on me.

Sexual harassment allegations are not “drama”. And anyways, the comparison is in the way they apologize and not the damage they have done.

How human of them.

But you can’t base a fact on one accident. Or even multiple. What if newspapers like to write especially about Tesla accidents to generate clicks?

Teslas seemingly have a lot of accidents, but without checking the statistics and comparing it to other manufacturers you wouldn’t really know if the perceived truth is a fact or not.

You made the first comment: “Teslas aren’t safe”, without providing proof.

And now you’re calling someone a hypocrite because he asks for data of exactly what you claimed, while you’re redefining your first argument as “the contrary”.

So, do you have proof that Tesla’s aren’t safe in comparison to other cars, or is it just your opinion?
