I don’t laubcher can customize task switcher, this should be an AOSP feature?

I thought it is a oneplus thing.

They also need to put a little yellow star on all their clothing.

Okay I prefer to use FDE for security, especially on laptops, so my data recovery is never going to be trivial, yet with a live environment, also not too difficult.

Why is separating the OS with files necessary? I don’t think large files slows down the OS anymore, because of SSD.

Man, I really need to get some sleep 🫠

Excuse me, but isn’t ass bikini part of a bikini? I mean they do have part for ass, no?

Yes, but most people in the west don’t have the option to eat meat that are not from the meat industry.

That is exactly why veganism is attractive in the west.

The title plus the thumbnail makes it looks like a snl sketch, only more ridiculous.

LOL, the one of the largest tech monopoly in the world actually trying to play “the little guy” narrative. And just like with Trump, many people will actually believe it.

Yeah, rookie mistakes given we already know who is elected.

Average Genius Bar experience

I am not sure, and I didn’t mean to imply that is the cause. I don’t have a lot of male Chinese friend, so I don’t have any data in that department.

However, to be completely frank, I sometimes feel that now Chinese female are subject to much higher social expectation, which are likely to be reflect on social media, thus amplifying their anxiety.

But I certainly have plenty of female friends that doesn’t use rednote, and they are doing fine. (except one on twiter, and she also says that she is pretty anxious about it 🤣

I am sincerely glad your daughter is having fun, but I have several female friends who are trapped in the toxic spiral of rednote and cannot quit.

I have not been on any Chinese social media for years, so I looked it up. From what I read on the Chinese internet, they have a tendency to serve wholesome content to people at first, then switch to toxic content to encourage consumption. As many westerners don’t know, rednote is a shopping-guide app, and they make money from it.

You can read more about their practise toward consumption and their history on wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu and many post on the Chinese internet claim they are “selling anxiety”, which I mentioned in my previous comments.

I hope they don’t do it to non-Chinese people and I really hope people like your daughter can continue to have fun wherever they are. Your daughter seems to have more control about social media tha my friends, so I hope she can quit when the app stopped working for her.

They are very much designed to sowing Chinese discourse and push the capitalist hyper-consumption life style. In fact RedNote is famous for being toxic and anxiety-inducing among Chinese community, probably due to its root in product promotion:

Xiaohongshu was founded by Miranda Qu and Charlwin Mao in 2013 as an online tour guide for Chinese shoppers, providing a platform for users to review products and share their shopping experiences with the community.

They are also anti-competitive and consumer-hostile:

Xiaohongshu strictly prevents advertising and linking to external websites or apps. Actions such as sending WeChat contacts in posts or DMs or inquiring about prices of goods can lead to account suspension.

And most westerners don’t see this side of rednote, because rednote give western users special treatments, i.e. because of western privileges:

Following the growth in users from the United States, Xiaohongshu was said to be exploring adjusting its content review processes as American influencers began sharing posts.

On 14 January 2025, Xiaohongshu announced that it would direct users to more “positive” content in line with a November 2024 directive from the Cyberspace Administration of China.

Quotes are from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu and there are many Mandarin articles on the toxicity of rednote:

It is funny to see those so called “communist” rushing to defend the very embodiment of capitalistic hyper-consumption in China, and the only thing shielding them from such toxicity is their own privilege.

They should be.

But people can just be vocal on platforms that don’t seek to manipulate public opinions, like mastodon…

Can Jesus turn the water in wine into wine?

We will let them pay 25% tariff, so it is all good.

I think individual instance blocking is not as good as defederating.

However, even with my instance defederating ml, hexbear, and grad, I can still see ml lovers who moved to other instances, which is slightly disappointing.
