They have the same fears of our tech too

Which makes sense, because the exact same concept applies: local vs. foreign

One being forgien, and one being local doesnt change that.

It absolutely does, from the perspective of the government, who makes the laws.

Ahh so im talking to a Vulcan and I’m not allowed to go on my creative writting tangent.

You can go on all the tangents you want, but don’t expect no one to correct your factual inaccuracies unless you specifically label it as fiction. Are your statements fictional entertainment?

dont care in classifying which one is “worse”

You literally just did that in your previous reply…

In my mind that’s much worse than a invisible threat that isn’t even allowed to operate here yet

It’s not at all invisible. China is notorious for digital attacks on all kinds of US infrastructure. Along with Russia and North Korea. Basically most powerful authoritarian nations.

They aren’t allowed to operate here due to the potential threats that I mentioned.

the way you keep pushing this issue implies that because the forgien one is bad, we should justify the local one being bad.

It implies no such thing. Any such interpretation can be attributed to your imagination. What it means is simply that one is worse than the other.

If anything I support the forgien one more because you know I expect them to be bad guys.

That makes absolutely no sense.

It always has worked for the executive branch. The difference is the executive branch used to pretend to be impartial and find the best person for the job, and leave them alone to do it. These days the corruption is expected, and even desired, by a large portion of the American population.

It’s not hypocritical. One is local and the other is foreign.

Maybe claiming that the imported cars have Chinese spyware in them (but the spyware in our cars is cool)

I mean exporting that data to a nefarious authoritarian foreign nation seems much worse than keeping it local. Not that any of it is “good”.

No?

I recently learned that Hetzner sells managed Nextcloud hosting. Its the only one I’ve found in the US.

Ah, I must have missed that. Thanks for that extra bit of context.

It wasn’t dumb and they didn’t forget. The frog has simply been sufficiently boiled. Meta sold millions of these. The people complaining are a very small minority.

Eh. I’ve never owned a car that required “premium” fuel but modern engines are completely capable of adjusting ignition timing as necessary. You’ll just make less power.

This is just the layout for your personal profile. GtS doesn’t have a full frontend, it’s intended to be used with whatever your favorite Mastodon app is (Phandroid).

Seems highly unlikely that the guy can make a road-legal truck in his garage for sale, but best of luck to him.

Can we get an open source American compact coupé?

Yeah this is why Ubisoft is hidden from my Steam store. I mean in addition to requiring a third party launcher and account and utilizing Denuvo on every game.

I think the fact that Telegram is constantly in legal hot water indicates that it’s not.

I realize we don’t like Telegram but we shouldn’t be supporting exploiting control over DNS in pursuit of surveillance.

Pizza indeed

Ah they’re giving it the old Apple “step 1: create a problem, step 2: sell a solution”

Exactly. You expect us to believe you laid off half your workforce and your games will be completely unimpacted? Either you had terrible management and a ton of completely unnecessary employees or (more likely) you’re lying.
