This also explains why he changed the name to a non-descriptive name of X.

Propaganda/information warfare 101, you want the name of your agent spreading disinformation to be as vague and as ambiguous as possible in the people's discourse in general.

And who TF elected such Nazi into the position of power? You 100% had it all coming lol

I love Aves' functionalities and speed, but I can't stand its UI design. Who TF thought it would look good to have a bright and glowing ring around photo folder thumbnails in an otherwise minimalistic UI?

Hey at least leeches can be pretty cool and fun pets to keep! :p

And nothing of value will be lost lol

Finally!

My biggest problem with bi-foldable phones so far is that they don't actually offer enough of a screen size to really be the tablet replacement that is worth for all the downsides (like fragile screen, added weight and complexity and everything). But on the other hand it's also just not possible to make a 10+ inches screen pocketable by folding it only once, whole still retaining an acceptable aspect ratio for both folded and unfolded forms.

Trifold is the first step towards finally having a meaningful foldable phone.

I think the problem fundamentally stems from the fact that Android development is so hardware focused nowadays because hardware makers make so much money, and people seemed to have started forgetting Android is also an OS, with its own software ecosystem, including the ecosystem of OS mods.

But we have not been seeing nearly as many news about new cool app that explores new ways to redefine functionality and UX design. There's just not much exciting things going on in the Android software and it's ecosystem these days it feels like, almost as if it's not just stagneted but also somehow enshitified as a whole :(

I would not be surprised at all if this is stolen Wine/Proton/Winlator code packaged into proprietary obfuscated blobs without any license and open source attribution whatsoever.

Looking forward to seeing some investigation once it is officially released

The difference is how such behavior of individuals are perceived and reacted by other people. Yes such people exist in the US but in the US social institutions exist where when one acts like this the others will very openly reject and denounce such ways of thinking, and in the US for a long time such social institutions held great societal influences, while in China most people will praise instead.

But yeah now you see why in the US the Republicans have been so motivated in de-funding and ruining many of the already established social institutions

Found the guy who never reads lol

Don't know why the down votes. Yes you could argue the Chinese traditional cultures don't glorify cheating but then there's as much Chinese traditional culture in China today as there are the classical culture of the ancient Greeks in the US right now lol

In real life people praise taking unfair advantages to achieve what you want in popular cultures in today's China, where people praise it as a form of strength, sometimes even "wisdom", in a society where respect to established standards and moral principles is viewed as foolish. And you really can't blame them either considering such things as "established standards and moral principles" are the most popular ingredients of propaganda and political brainwashing, and a lot of Chinese people are actually not idiots who can't see that.

You only need to visit Chinese language social media now to see that everywhere.

Technological advancements don't reduce research opportunities, rather they create more opportunities because the whole industry becomes more developed and more sophisticated, as well as creating new industries. When this doesn't happen, most of the time it is because of a weak and dysfunctional economy (as well as dysfunctional society due to poorly devised social political policies) cannot always support turning research and development to actual commercial possibilities. This used to be exactly what China is very good at in fact, because China has some of the world's most vertically integrated production capacity, like for example you can find the factories that make 70% of the different types of components in a smartphone in the same city, significantly reducing production and supplier overhead to an extent you rarely see in other countries until very recently, so it was never the lack of industrial capabilities here.

I agree it would be super cool to see plumbers discussing about Fermi paradox in their break time, but the reality is that is a very American middle class thing, whereas in China the majority of population have extreme social prejudice and bigotry between different social economical classes and education backgrounds, its extreme extent can only be matched by the racial and gender prejudice in the US, and I do not think Chinese people are socially and culturally equipped to handle this increased amount of contact across social economical status and education backgrounds anymore than American people are in average in handling contact across races and gender identities, while having significant less developed and significantly more dysfunctional social institutes.
