The US government’s position on this can be summed up as “massive unaccountable US tech firms having all of your data and manipulating public opinion via their black box algorithms is okay, but Chinese companies doing that is a national security concern”. I call BS. The degree to which China is actually a US adversary is being massively overstated by the US government as they see this as a threat to US geopolitical hegemony and America’s ability to propagandize its own citizens. I have spent some time on RedNote (Xiaohongshu) and all I have seen is friendly cross-cultural exchange and discussion between these supposed ‘adversaries’.

Seeing stuff like this in the uplifting news community instead of shit like ‘local kid spends 60 hours a week selling lemonade to pay for sister’s cancer treatments’ is why I appreciate Lemmy vs Reddit.
I do care about tire wear but where I live the daily temperature regularly fluctuates by 25+ degrees which means the alert goes off almost all of the time because at least one tire is a degree different or too low at least a couple times a day. I’d have to fill my tires daily to avoid it to be honest. That seems a bit excessive to me.
First time I’ve seen y’all refer to each other as Beeple and I’m just dropping in here to say I love the term.
My 2023 Toyota beeps and shows a warning every time I start the car if one of the tires is even 1 PSI lower than the others. It’s ridiculous.
Is there a vaccine?
True; I think I used LineageOS or similar back when I was still in Android but if you’re not in the 0.01% who do have a custom Android OS installed it seems like a privacy focused map app is still of limited use potentially.
This looks like it has come a long way, but since this is a privacy community I have to ask: Realistically, whether you are on iOS or Android, isn’t it likely Google or Apple are still tracking your location much of the time directly from the OS?
Okay, can I hijack this thread to ask the question from some fellow coffee enthusiasts: Do decaf beans actually tend to suck? I would be interested in a decaf or half-caff blend but curious what the connoisseurs think.. and sorry no I haven’t searched for a post on this in the community so feel free to downvote the crap out of me / take mercy on me and link one of it exists..
Based on the differences in color for each handle it makes me wonder if the one for not washing your hands is a different material. Maybe an antimicrobial metal like a copper alloy.

By having China create a more efficient and capable government and open source it so you can run it locally?
