Move to the capital city or the largest city. Find a few people online and meet more through them. Try to find social spaces where queer people gather. Doesn’t have to be queer-specific, leftist spaces are usually also safe.

Lemmy is very often worse than Reddit.

Even the answers in this thread are worse than if an LLM answered this same question.

Maybe the USA shoulda went with the “peaceful power transition”.

Can’t wait, that was a great game!

Sorry, but no, they’re shit.

The Dell Latitude I got from work is really the worst laptop I’ve ever used. Do not buy.

Yet they can’t stop making fun of the French. Hahah le protests amirite?

Yeah, Mac is pretty meh for gaming, but when I want to game I just use GeForce NOW. It makes gaming on Mac a non-problem and actually turns out much cheaper for me than buying a gaming rig.

I don’t regret ever using Linux tho, it’s a great for learning new stuff and acquiring different kind of thinking. Everyone who’s a programmer or in some adjacent field should use Linux at least for a while. It’s easy to notice when someone never used it.

That’s a very naive take. Even if BRI was only meant for trade - so much influence on trade necessarily means that China will have greater political power over included countries.

The whole One Belt One Road initiative?

Is there any evidence that China wouldn’t want to be a hegemon?
