Especially absurd to use this propaganda angle when the West is backing Islamic fundamentalists to overthrow a secular state

Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year’s $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn’t made obsolete that quickly

The market in smartphones should be expected to decline, and that’s a good thing. People keeping old phones for longer = less e-waste, but they have to introduce a new, fragile gimmick for profits

The version you linked on github is FOSS but it is out of date— newer versions on the play store are proprietary. Organic Maps is a continuation of the FOSS version by the original developers.

Communist Party of China, CPC. The country that they are in is China (PRC). A billion people do not live in the “CCP”, that’s like saying Japanese people live in the LDP, and your imprecise use of these terms makes you look uninformed. Unless, of course, you just constantly say “CCP” because you don’t want to recognize that they are the legitimate and popular government of China, you know, a country.

I speak of russia generally so I can include USSR and the current state of affairs. I realize they are different but they are both authoritarian. They be capitalist but they call themselves communists.

This is a meaningless statement. Any government that wields power to accomplish things is “authoritarian”. It’s silly to equate the USSR with the Russian Federation when they are two very different administrations with distinct ideology and policies. Russia for the past 30 years is a capitalist country with an administration originally installed by the US. Putin is a right-wing figure and an anti-communist. I don’t like Putin and the other rightists in charge of Russia, but I hope NATO doesn’t win out in the East because I don’t want the US Empire ruling over the whole world.

We aren’t uncritical of the USSR, China, and the DPRK, we just think they broadly did (and do) much more good than bad.

Also, “CCP” isn’t a country or even a party (CPC), it’s China or the PRC. I assume when you say “Russia” you mean the Soviet Union that hasn’t existed in thirty years as Russia is a capitalist country now.

Post your credit card number and DLN while you’re at it.

So a mod didn’t like a comment you made which was interpreted as encouraging anti-homeless hate. Instead of just moving on you decided to make this about “tankies” despite no one saying anything about Marxist ideology, China, or anything related. I think you’re just looking to pick a fight with us because we’re dirty pinko commies or something.

it looks like the only comments of yours that were removed were for making inflammatory comments about homeless people on public transport in a place you don’t live.

I used to use AntennaPod a few years ago, not sure what it’s like now but it looks to still be updated. Nice app as it has built-in search, etc. rather than just taking RSS feeds.

I haven’t been on Android in a few years but it looks like Librera Reader is still being maintained. Works great but somewhat large file size due to being a full-featured e-book/document reader rather than just PDF.

is this how most people dress now? or is this boomer-tier meme complaining about made-up nonsense
