I wonder what actual Chinese people think, anyone originally from China able to weigh in?

I see this as a plus. People have a right to be forgotten. The problem nowadays is that companies track you and keep all your data forever and then use it to advertise to you.

At the very least, data collection and preservation should be explicitly opt-in.

If you really want to save something, download it yourself.

Not only is this racist but it's lazy and unfunny too, even without the racism. Who buys discs anymore? Are you a boomer?

I won't hold my breath.

Nice, now do all other police departments in the nation.

Also, the absolute chads over in Powderhorn don't call the cops anyway, so they will be unaffected.

Interesting, thanks for the link - at the very least, things are trending upwards so fingers crossed we are through the worst of it for the time being. Which is probably 8-10 years, it is cyclical.

This is aimed at the person i originally responded to. General thoughts about about political agendas couched in loaded language below. Nothing is apolitical, and everyone has an agenda. The key is to figure out what it is.


"Worst recession since 2008" is one of those phrases that sounds almost like the economy is just as bad as 2008, but actually doesn't mean much of anything.

For demonstrative purposes I'll use some arbitrary numbers here.

If we rated the 2008 recession at an 10/10 on the badness scale, rated any recession between 2009-2022 as a 2/10 at the most, and rated the current recession we're in at say, a 4 - I could say that this is the worst recession since 2008, and it would not be untruthful.

Language is deceptive.

A new federated platform that is self-run, hosts your identity only and allows you to interact from websites from your own app on your own phone or computer, to start. None of this signing up 500 trillion accounts for each and every website garbage.

But Lemmy can literally do this. I am doing it right now. I'm the only user on my instance.

We haven't gotten very far in, and the person playing the Dark Urge has enabled private cutscenes for spoiler reasons, so I honestly am not sure yet. So far, nothing has been affected that I can tell from my normal single player campaign.

If only 3 people have joined the game then no, but with 4 people it says we're full even if one of us logs out.

When someone is offline they don't leave the party but you can control their character.
