I’m learning Mandarin, but do go on. Also, maybe talk to people actually living in China to find out how they do input lol.

I’m simply engaging with reality. The funny part that this is openly admitted, but here we have you pretending it’s not the case. https://www.commondreams.org/news/mitt-romney-tiktok

There is no contradiction here, because the communists, with their customary candor, acknowledge the necessity of stifling speech they deem to be harmful. It is the liberals, those self-appointed guardians of unfettered discourse, who are engaging in hypocrisy. They wax lyrical about the sanctity of free expression, only to abandon their lofty principles the moment their narrative falters.

It’s literally the main reason people found out there was a genocide happening in Gaza.

I find it funny when people get upset that a meme template gets used in a novel way. These aren’t religious texts that are immutable, memes evolve over time.

Still think Ukraine is winning bud?

It’s absolutely hilarious how we now have Raimondo openly admitting that trying to hold back China technologically is a fool’s errand, and yet there’s no change in policy. This is the definition of idiocy.

One precludes the other from happening in the first place though. If the means of production are publicly owned, then the problem of capital accumulation goes away entirely.

indeed

lol yeah

They’re pretty similar in terms of features, so I’d go with whichever one you can get cheaper. Also, take a look at the price of lenses and availability of third party ones like Sigma as well. I’ve had good experience with Sigma lenses in terms of quality, and they tend to be fairly reasonably priced. 28-75 zoomable is a pretty good beginner lens overall. It can do wide shots for landscapes, but will also let you zoom in a bit if you have to.

literally the first thing I saw in my feed after making an account 😆

Broke my wrist on a punching bag one time because I had poor form. Now I have a nice screw in it.

This sort of stuff has been going on since before Chavez though, and Venezuela is arguably stronger than ever today.

The whole knee jerk reaction against anything AI related is tiresome and utterly irrational. This seems like a perfectly legitimate use of technology. If I have a movie in a language I don’t know and I can’t find subs for it, then I’d much rather have AI subs than nothing at all.

Imagine being as dumb as Tom Cotton https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/tom-cotton-backlash-tiktok-ceo-shou-chew-rcna136673

I’m sure the US will do everything in their power to prevent this from happening, but so far they haven’t even been able to destabilize Venezuela. And it’s not for lack of trying. It’s also important to keep in mind that destabilization is primarily done through economic means, and that’s where BRICS becomes so important. As long as these countries are stable economically, it becomes difficult to sow unrest. We don’t know how this all plays out of course, but I think there’s good chance the US will continue losing its grip on Latin America going forward.

Sony a6500 is a decent entry level camera. If you’re thinking of doing landscape photography then you want a wide lens, something like 25 or 28mm is good. If you can afford it, a zoom lens like 28-75mm will be pretty versatile.
