Solution: create a GitHub repo with Markdown articles outlining human rights abuses by the CCP and have a large number of GitHub users star and fork the repo.

Once you have logged "China killed 100 Zillion people! End CCP now!" in Chinese GitHub, everyone in China will realize that their lives are actually very bad and they need to do a Revolution immediately.

Some random Chinese company: does something jenky

Blogger: "The entire country of China is doing this jenky thing!"

I love how every Chinese company is called "China"

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah.. That's because they are. it is required that every Chinese Company has to be owned by "tHe PeOpLe" (CCP)

Gotta disguise being a capitalist country somehow.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Capitalism is when the public owns the things. And Communism is when a handful of private individuals owns the things.

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So what's it called when the government is a handful of private individuals, as opposed to representing the public?

fun to think that my shitty program is now stored in an artic vault and stored in some Chinese servers

So many bugs I never fixed and yet here we are lol

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The great thing about China is that it's got lots of people eager to fix those bugs

I love how they reinvent a universal experience as uniquely Chinese

It's a bit odd, but isn't it equivalent to forking and putting up a fork elsewhere?

I guess I don't see the problem.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It will be funny to see folks who spent the last ten years posting "It's not stealing, it's copying" memes suddenly find religion because Evil Foreign People got involved.

I'm quite scared of how AI apparently pushes people in favour of significantly stricter copyrights. This is not a good trend.

This isn't people being influenced by AI. This is Microsoft's Godzilla battling the RIAA/MPAA's King Kong.

The trend, to date, has been consolidation of media properties under fewer and more hegemonic distributors. And now we're seeing a couple of economic Titans battle over the position of "Last Legitimate Music Vendor".
