My bad, I didn’t think pointing out someones bad attitude was crossing the line.

Because you are speaking english and you are focusing on China instead of somewhere your voice might be heard. What are we supposed to do, bomb their civilians so they stop treating their civilians poorly? lol come on dude

Yeah, sure clean all yards but start with your own.

Your statement here and your reaction to how the community has responded is ignorant. Not sure how self awareness is dehumanizing unless you fancy yourself a champion for corporations but okay.

Man I hate coming in and whatabouting but you do realize that the entire EV industry is committing some major atrocities against the people of the Congo right? Western corporations are ruthlessly vile down there. Everything you named and more.

How about we clean up our own yard before telling on the neighbor?

I see where you’re coming from but you aren’t really speaking for the majority on lemmy. We are more open to open source projects and linux around here.

Unfortunately, I also have to use windows for some things, but microsoft and windows 11 are hot garbage, just like your attitude.

It is not even close to a good enough reason. First of all, I don’t really give a shit about what other people do or don’t do on their computers. It is not my responsibility. Second, sneaking in their cloud solution isn’t the right move ever.

Let the user decide if they want it, enable it by default I don’t care, but don’t sneak it in like it’s a fuckin trojan lol

People on here love this kind of propaganda dude lol

I mostly see US based consent manufacturing propaganda and the military industrial complex foaming at the mouth. Maybe you have some credible sources that aren’t from a CIA cutout or state sponsored media? I will dig into it so don’t be shy.

But considering that we (the US) have surrounded their borders with military bases, would you blame them if they felt the need to bolster their military? (Probably, because you’re a hypocrite.)

lol you are always jumping to the extreme whenever I criticize the US even a little.

I didn’t “defend a dictatorship”, I correctly pointed out that the pandemic was handled terribly in the states, especially from the president, so it was a dumb thing to use as a metric for how a leader is doing. Trump was a fucking joke. He created a terrible situation and reaffirmed the antivaxxers. He was basically telling people to take crazy doses of ivermectin instead and implying it was all “fake news”. Maybe you don’t understand the entirety of that since you said yourself you “aren’t a US citizen” but for some reason you are always reaffirming our propaganda.

In regards to numbers, should we just believe state sponsored media or confirmed CIA startups like Radio Free Asia instead? They are usually listed as a source for these kinds of things despite the fact that their sole purpose for being created was to combat the spread of socialism.

The US is just a beacon of truth that would never lie about a socialist country or attempt to manufacture consent. /s

Yeah the US did way better…

“Baseless conspiracy theories” - makes baseless claim.

I’ve seen some USS liberty stuff. Pretty crazy that they even let those dudes live to tell the tale.

I saw someone say Israel is just Britain, France, and the US in a trench coat and it is way too accurate 😂

It’s believable though because it’s super on brand for Izzy.

All these pro-colonialism war boners should perform brain surgery on each other.

Key quote with no fuckin substance. Israel dropped a bomb on a refugee camp that shoots shrapnel outwards in a football field sized radius. Gee, I wonder what killed so many civilians. smh

Agreed on pretty much all counts but I love Audiobooks just as much as “analog” books lol

lol get over yourself. I didn’t stalk you. lemmy ain’t that active and we both clearly have a common ground in wanting to voice political opinion. I just happen speak out against propaganda while you shill for izzy and the feds. I hope they are at least paying you.

For clarity on what is actually disgusting though, dressing up like you are going to provide aide to suffering people only to murder them is gross as fuck. Even if it were “legal”, which it isn’t.

Well unlike your ass, I appreciate the nuance of a good performance. But i know what you mean.

GPU time, while cheaper than a voice actor, is still a bit spendy though. And you then you also have the various copyright/licensing “issues” associated with AI content, companies may be a bit hesitant to go all in on producing books like that. Makes more sense for someone like Amazon/Audible and less sense for someone like spotify.

Besides, most audio books exist already so that really only applies to newer titles.
