Wow people don’t like it when you don’t like the thing they like.

Never had such a bad like to dislike ratio on a video before. From the comments, I know it’s not that the video is bad.

It’s Android people not liking someone saying « Android doesn’t work for me ».

Baffling.

@thelinuxEXP i think its abundently clear neither of them respect you or your data, choosing between google and apple is like choosing between a kick in the nuts or a punch to the teeth lol.

And unfortunatley linux likely wont catch up on mobile for another decade...

Apple does seem to have slightly better data policies but is MUCH worse to use on a daily basis for anyone who enjoys sideloaded apps. Its like hating someone who perfers pepsi, sure i like coke but its killin me

@Ember @redlilrascal Because I trust US companies more with the ability to say to their government « EU citizens can’t have their data repatriated in the US », than I trust Chinese companies doing the same thing, since the Chinese government is a totalitarian nightmare and could very much compel them to do so.

@thelinuxEXP @Ember the us is also a totalalitarian government who has been shown to be doing literally the same thing except they hide it and we find out from wistleblowers. Need i remind you the US has concentration camps for migrants?

@redlilrascal @Ember Yes, that was terrible. It was also under the previous administration, which changed because the US is still a democracy. It’s a bad one, but it’s still better than China, which is actively deporting and committing crimes against their own population (Ouïgours) for religious beliefs. Can’t compare the 2 at all ok that front. Both bad, but not even in the same ballpark.

@thelinuxEXP @Ember dude the concentration camps are still there and biden was vice president at their peak, he hates migrants. How can you not compare religious persecution to the persecution of refugees caused by american foreign policy? Google biden migrant camp dude its the exact same fuckin thing ripping families apart as under Trump. The conditions in US detention centers are some of the worst ever

@redlilrascal @Ember I’m not saying it’s good. It’s still not genocide. We’re comparing war crimes at that point, but you simply CAN’T say that the US is worse or equivalent to China in terms of human rights violations and pure oppression. You can’t, it’s just not the case.

Yes, the US is an atrocious place. It’s rotten with these camps, the death penalty, racism and inequality. It’s still better than what China currently is.

@thelinuxEXP @Ember The US holds literally 1/5th of the worlds prison population lol. It has 698 ppl per capita while china has 121 per capita. Calling it better sounds about white.

@redlilrascal @Ember Prison in the US isn’t a prison camp in China. Not admitting that sounds about ignorant. Why do they have less prisoners? Because they die in labor camps, and because China’s population is so, so much bigger than the US, it’s bound to have less people imprisoned.

This conversation is going nowhere if you’re arguing in bad faith. And I don’t care personally. I’m not even from the US or China, I have no horse in this race. You’re just wrong.

@redlilrascal @Ember Ohhhhh ok. Maoist, it says in your profile. Well I guess if you support Mao there’s nothing left to talk about. I’m all for well implemented communism, but Mao? Really??

@thelinuxEXP @Ember Maoists are the only communists in the world fighting armed revolutions, in india the phillipines peru brazil.... Were very against chinese capitalism and social imperialism. Maos China was the highest stage of socialism and was destroyed by dengite reforms in '79. Its just dumb to not see the US as the primary imperialist power in the world and literally based on colonial genocide.

@redlilrascal @Ember Mao was an abominable person who murdered and imprisoned tens of millions of people. If that’s the peak of socialism, why not applaud Stalin as well 🤮🤮

Sorry, but the US being a bad country doesn’t make Mao, or current China good. Both can be atrocious, and you’d have to be blind to think the US in its current form is worse than current China.

End of the conversation, facts don’t seem to exist for you.
