wordofx··on U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users’ encrypted accounts
Xi took power. That’s when relations went down the drain.

Because you said it started in 2015. It started in 2012.
wordofx··on U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users’ encrypted accounts
And everything went downhill from there.

Relations were good until Xi took over.
wordofx··on The US Treasury Claimed Doge Technologist Didn't Have 'Write Access' When He Did
You can replace republicans with democrats and it’s just as valid if not more.
wordofx··on Escaping surprise bills and over-engineered messes: Why I left AWS
Enshittification of software that people create guarantees that they will get overage bills and blame cloud providers.
wordofx··on El Salvador abandons Bitcoin as legal tender
^ unsure why downvoting this as it’s 100% correct. IMF doesn’t hand out loans it doesn’t think will be paid back.

(This is where China swoops in and gives a loan at lower interest rates with shadow contracts to get the resources or assets)

wordofx··on El Salvador abandons Bitcoin as legal tender
It should be. It’s dumb as hell. Bitcoin and blockchain have no real use.
wordofx··on MySQL at Uber
Uber is not a company worth following for technology. It’s like a bunch of juniors using tech wrong and changing tech as a solution to a non existent problem.
wordofx··on Go 1.24's go tool is one of the best additions to the ecosystem in years
Are we just copying .NET now?
wordofx··on CIA now favors lab leak theory to explain Covid's origins
The lab leak theory was started by Chinese netizens. It was mentioned on Chinese media. Hell the name Wu Flu came from Chinese media.
wordofx··on CIA now favors lab leak theory to explain Covid's origins
A lab leaking wouldn’t do any harm to the CCP. The harm they caused themselves was a mixture of lying and trying to cover up the whole thing. Downplaying it. Etc. The WHO says any unknown phenomena must be treated as airborn until proven otherwise. But they followed the CCP in telling us it was fine, it wasn’t transmissible.
wordofx··on Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance
Well the west is too busy trying to answer the question “what is a woman” and allowing mass migration into their countries. While Asia is like “there’s men and woman, and we make it hard for you to live in our country and never get citizenship while we out build you in every aspect”
wordofx··on Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance
lol I always find these sort of posts amusing. It really shows those who can use ai effectively vs those who don’t understand it at all.
wordofx··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
Auto corrected. Can’t edit it now.
wordofx··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
There are no “Asian values” on TikTok. TikTok is banned in China.

If it had values your 12yo wouldn’t be on it as Douyin has an age restriction of 18+, and prenatal consent if 13-17. Under 13 is prohibited. It also has time restriction of 40 minutes per day for 13-14yo and only accessible between 6am till 10pm. Not only that content is highly censored and restricted.

But keep living in a bubble that TikTok is totally fine.

wordofx··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
lol no.
wordofx··on TikTok goes dark in the US
He’s not pushing disinformation.
wordofx··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
Taiwanese shows are better if you want to learn Chinese. They speak clearly and don’t speak fast like China shows.
wordofx··on Buy something or leave, Starbucks says
Stop replying dupe to everything.

Congrats on falsely flagging a submission.
wordofx··on WordPress Is in Trouble
If you invest in a company and it’s valued at $1,000,000. And you want to make some money. You sell your investment in the company.

If after 5 years revenue doesn’t grow the value is still $1,000,000. Unless the value increases the investors won’t get a return on their investment. Often investment comes with conditions.

So no it’s not as simple as “just needs to stay stable”

wordofx··on WordPress Is in Trouble
He has investors to answer to. He has an over evaluation that unless he grows the value of his company he’s screwed. He’s trying to pull in revenue and he’s destroying a competitor to take their customers.
wordofx··on I deleted my social media accounts
Not every anti-censorship person is pro Trump. Considering I’m not a U.S. citizen nor do I live in the U.S. and actually fear the outcome of Trump on my family since American politics affects people world wide.
wordofx··on I deleted my social media accounts
Facebook removing 'fact' checkers is good, they weren't fact checkers, they were bias enforcers.

Community notes is far superior to the bias enforcers.

wordofx··on Hyundai just launched its cheapest EV in Japan
There are a LOT of ev fires in China that get scrubbed from the internet and media in China. If you had Weibo you can see them almost daily.

You get what you pay for. Cheap junk.

wordofx··on The Future of Htmx
There are no good react developers because react encourages you to abstract things into 1000s is tiny files.
wordofx··on The Future of Htmx
That’s great for you. But every single react project I’ve seen or inherited has been a steaming pile of shit.

All these new front end developers who jumped in on react with no other experience have no idea how web works are struggle to build without react.

Anyone competent in web development prior to react could build with htmx or even vanilla js just as fast without react as they could with react. Won’t stop the brainwashed react devs coming out defending their only source of income tho.

wordofx··on Akamai to shut down its CDN operations in China
They don’t want foreign businesses having a solid foothold in the country.
