You can use this logic to explain away any other ponzi scheme too.

Except they’re literally a charity.

Ultimately though, does this matter? The smartphone userbase in China and India are a combined 6 times the size of the USA’s and are growing. Furthermore, the USA imports most of their tech from China, while China keeps their wealth largely internal. Even if the USA were to completely cutoff trade with China, it’s not like China’s doing nearly as much importing of manufactured goods, especially in the low-end, and it’s not as though China would be at a loss for trade partners even if every US ally followed suit.

Cutting off trade to China, at least by what I can tell, would hurt the USA far more than China, or am I wrong?

Ya, never trust US companies. Their government’s crazy to jump in and take anything they want; you may not even know they took it.

Brave fucks with crypto. Never fuck with crypto. It’s also Chromium, which means they’re complicit in Google’s efforts to DRM the internet.

It’s pretty bad when your CEO disparages your product that much. It’s like if Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said they’d be switching to Google Workspace because Microsoft Teams was inefficient and difficult to use.

Absolutely scathing.

OnlyFans announced it too, but walked back on it later.

The only reason it’s so much more expensive than animal-based meats is because of the amount of subsidies the meat industry gets. Actually, now that I think about it, all of the major pillars of the US agricultural industry, whether it be meat, corn, or dairy, are upheld by subsidies.

only programmers understand 😂 😂 😂 👌

On the flipside, the belief that someone with a formal education is somehow beneath you or brainwashed for it.

I agree. Even if it just means exporting your settings and subscriptions as a JSON and importing it elsewhere. Mastodon has a more “proper” migration feature that would work better for communities, but I’m not sure how well that’d scale to Lemmy which has much more posts per community than Mastodon will per user.

There is no community migration feature to Lemmy and I don’t foresee that being feasible in the near future. Same with personal profiles.
