I think you’ve misread my comment.
“Xi doesn’t get the solidarity like Luigi, because his government has a track record of punishing citizens when they show dissent” was the point of my original comment.
I believe this context is important if we’re to discuss the likability of a country’s leader based on their actions. Additionally, “acting within the defines of state ideology” would permit a national head to practically do anything since they are the ones defining the state ideology.
Thanks for admitting that nothing could ever be enough to change your mind.
I have shared some articles on China’s crackdown on dissent here. Will you will change your mind after reading them?
I have shared some links further in the thread, here you go.
My friend, you’re the one who’s actively denying the opinions of the Chinese people I know, while pushing a Harvard study on my face. And then calling me racist/chauvinistic. I am not sure how that helps your case, but I guess just spouting random nonsense is your idea of a conversation.
To help you out, I have taken some time to find some of the articles from the time I was in SG, and cases I discussed. These are the articles.

Most of the people I talked to related with these incidents, and acknowledged that while they may not the be the norm, they’re certainly not anomalies. And a lot of people dont come out because the government reacts in such dracnonian ways.
The people I talked to were not representative of all of China, it would be ridiculous to consider that. However, ignoring multiple unrelated people sharing similar stories would be an asinine thing.
If your response is going to be a an aggregate study about economic development, and ask me why would people be unhappy with that, then you need some sort of help to understand that economic freedom is not the only freedom in the world.
I never claimed to be an authority, and there’s a reason I mentioned it was my opinion.
And again, it’s not like there could be selection biases in a Harvard study. That absolutely never happens.
I base my opinion on multiple people I personally know who moved from China to SG, because they were unhappy with the kind of control government maintained over any public criticism. I won’t pretend that I remember all the instances they’ve mentioned, but I know better than to reject the claims of the countries citizen when they have some concerns. I won’t pretend that I know better than the people living in the damned country.
I wonder if it has anything to do with PRC’s punishment towards citizens who have been critical of their government. Who knows man.
Pretty much all land borders are lines drawn on map 😅
If anyone has spare invites, bless thy mate.
Tell me you have no idea about other movie industries, without telling me about it.
Just to add-on, Gaiman has said that he and Pratchett had discussed some of the ideas that he’s working with. Take what you will from that.
I mean I can take up issues with Linux as well. The driver support can be iffy at times, especially with Nvidia, gaming can be a challenge, depending on what game you’re playing.
“Not that bad” is a phrase, which acknowledges issues but still contests something to be bad beyond acceptance.
Hot take, windows isn’t that bad (privacy issues aside).
The guy’s calling you a Modi supporter 😅
I tried some prompts and that’s exactly what it did. OP here was accusatory in their prompts, and I guess that triggered the LLM to end the conversation.
I asked it upfront about Halloween documents, and it shared that they were anti-FOSS. I asked about MS’s stance on FOSS, and it shared the challenges and collaborations.
Sorry if my message didn’t convey this.
I didn’t ask for sympathy for anyone on this. It’s more towards the process is absolutely fucking broken. It was obvious that something like that can happen to any person with more than 2 brain cells. And yet, the decisions we were made to put a person in a situation where he was bound to fail.
Some context regarding this meme. The police officer is a war veteran, who probably has massive PTSD and reacted accordingly.
Now why the hell would the police service hire a guy who is clearly unfit for service is a major American moment.
Ohh wow, look who has appeared. Mr No reply to the original comment. Wonder what he will add to the conversation.
Like usual, it’s nothing of value.
