Sire, how does this “Smartphone” fuction? The Royal Scientists are unable to replicate this technology.

Laptop manufacturers are also looking to move away from windows to a linux bases operating system.

Redstar OS it is 😉

Stab them with the pointy tip.

What is “small”?

Does placing a banana peel on a certain path that will cause a historical person to trip and injure themselves count as “small”?

What if I carefully place a banana peel on the path that Stannislav Petrov walks on and he end up having to go to the hospital on September 26, 1983?

🤔

Okay so:

1. On the eve of May 7, 2012 (putin takes office as president): Place a small piece of paper inside Putin’s food saying “Next time it’d be poison” (in Russian, of course). So he’d start speculating if someone is plotting against him and drive him mad. Maybe cause him to shuffle all his security and chefs.

2. Then after he makes changes to his security, on his birthday, place a dead rat inside his birthday cake (he does have birthday cakes, right?).

Might not change history at all, but good enough to fuck with a dictator.

3. Add a few bits of code to the Great Firewall of China that would make it malfuction and start letting all traffic through on February 4, 2022, right before the Winter Olympics begin.

Butterfly Effect 😉

I’m worried about Chinese mobile OSes intentionally designed to make it difficult for VPN apps to work, and companies would just give up trying to design a separate app for the Chinese market, which reinforces a tighter grip on censorship.

Not to mention, all the other FOSS tools that would no longer work if they make android .apks incompatible, including a lot of encryption apps.

Mariage Conseling. Internet strangers aint paid for this shit lol.

Wish granted, you live in a bunker somewhere deep underground and is witnessing mutated lovecraftian creatures that can’t even be explained using today’s words.

China is communist

Not really.

Communist would mean the workers own the means of production. If they truely did, then they wages wouldn’t be so low while the west get to benefit from cheap labor.

Rental properties still exist, landlords still exist. Usually the tenants are migrant workers from rural areas and the landlords are people who happened to have money to buy up few apartments in the city. (“Buy” is really a misnomer tbh, you’re buying the remainder of a 70-year lease term)

When the tenants don’t pay, the landlord will keep calling you or put up a notice on your front door and keep nagging for you to pay. But if it last for a few months, the lanlord usually engages in self-help eviction. Waiting for the tenant to be not at home, then go in and change the locks.

Sometimes, the public security bureau (police) will help the landlord if they have leases and can clearly show the tenant be in the wrong.

Sometimes, they would also help the tenant retrive their belongings if the landlord didn’t give them the opportunity to get their stuff and just locked everything inside.

Often times, the tenants would just leave before the landlord starts doing self-help evictions to “save face”.

Court hearings for residential evictions are rare. Even most criminal issues (things like petty theft, simple assault) are settled outside of court. Things like fighting is just mediated by the public security bureau.

This is assuming residential leases. Commercial leases would probably end in a lawsuit.

As for what happens after evictions, I’m not sure about that. In China, most migrant workers would have an “ancestral home” that’s passed down each generation. its usually given to the eldest son, but if everyone already went to the cities to look for work, then it’d be empty and they’d just tell the elders who you were, hope someone recognize you and confirm your identity, and you then ask for the keys. If a family member is already home, then I guess you just knock on the doors and say hi. (Although, I’m not sure what happens if someone has multiple decendants and they all simultanesly got kicked out of the cities.)

For those with Urban Hukou, I think they just have to go to a homeless shelter since they likely don’t have “ancestral homes”. Its a homeless shelter just like in the US, overcrowded and not fun to be in.

This is anecdotes from people I know, I can’t find much news sources reporting on this. So take it with a grain of salt.

For actual answers, internet searches isn’t gonna reveal a lot. Maybe go visit a Chinatown in the west and try to talk to a first-generation immigrant? (and bring a translator with you)

A large portion of Chinese housed don’t have internet

They do. Most people, even some in rural areas, have access to the internet. But due to both censorship issues, and most importantly, the language barrier, its really rare for someone to seek out the western internet. Even first generation Chinese immigrants to the US still mostly use Wechat, even when they have unrestricted access to western-based media (because of the language barrier).

The plot is so ridiculous, its actually comedic.

I’d rather grow up with good parents who are older, rather than shitty parents that are younger.

Just try your best, don’t worry too much about dying, the medical sciences of the modern era is great, people live longer lives thab ever before.

If you want to install free tracking tools, you’ll need consent or try to guess the lockscreen password to try to install it covertly.

With this, its doesn’t require consent, since most families are on the same family plan.

Only abusers would use this, since a normal person who actually cares about a family member’s safety would just ask them to install a tracking app voluntarily and be transparent about it.

Its tracking either way, but doing so voluntarily is way less creepy and also free.

Most modern Android and iOS allows you to share your locations for free via Google and Apple “Find My Phone” networks.

The phone company knows what county I’m in but probably not what businesses and municipal buildings I enter on foot unlike GPS location services.

They have your approximate location. If you are in a densely populated city, they might not know which specific building or which specific apartment unit, but they’ll have a small circle around the area, and if you are in a suburb, where things are more spaced out, they will know the exact stores you go to.

If you go to a walmart with huge parking spaces all around it, its obvious you went to a walmart.

According to the subreddit’s moderators, the AI took on numerous different identities in comments during the course of the experiment, including a sexual assault survivor, a trauma counselor “specializing in abuse,” and a “Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter.”

You don’t need an LLM for that, you got Dean Browning with his xitter alts
