I care. And I don’t care about most of the reasonings here, like: * It is not new, so I don’t care * Elon is conservative, so I don’t care * It is not true, or at least conflicts with my beliefs, so I don’t care * twitter is evil, so I don’t care * …

zephrx1111··on Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe
I don’t understand why Meta is always in the center on this problem, at least on most media. It is not relevant anymore. TikTok, or even Google should be the most concern now no?

zephrx1111··on Newsom just signed California pay transparency bill
My naive 2 cents: 1. Knowing others salary is not a right 2. Employer should have the option to be transparent or not. You can incentivize it, but better not force it.
zephrx1111··on Who cares about diversity?
Diversity, like wealth, is the result of a long running healthy society. Now instead, it is used as a measure, to bend the society. It is like turning the needle of a barometer by finger, and claiming the pressure is increasing.

I know you want to use AA as a weapon, to drive out these Chinese students you don't like out of school. Beware, someday, AA can also be weaponized against you. This was exactly what Nazi was using.
zephrx1111··on Our attention span is being robbed
It is resorting to fear. I can keep reading online literature for hours and watching Netflix for days.

It is not our attention that got shortened. Is is we were tolerant to borings before.

Sometimes, boring is good.

zephrx1111··on IMDB deleted all negative user reviews for The Rings of Power
Political correctness is going too far in modern western society. I can close my eyes and enjoy the music of Hamilton. But when I open my eyes and see Tamar Greene is casting George Washington, first words pop into my mind is political correctness. I have to convince myself it's just a music show and have 0 cent relating to politics, but who knows.

Do we really need a “test” to find this?
zephrx1111··on The government is burying the anti-Asian violent hate crime crisis
Racism in 21st century is a misleading term for social problems. It is barking against the wrong tree.

Some people, because their education level, would accept and believe whatever their info source pour to them. I’m from China. I know how aggressive the “little-pinks” would behave online and in real world.

Unfortunately, for some reason, this population can roughly map to some races. The political industry is using this issue to rake in their own internet. They are preventing this problem to be fixed.

zephrx1111··on San Francisco votes overwhelmingly to recall progressive DA Chesa Boudin
Serve for people and serve for voter are different.

A politician serving for people assumes his policy would benefit all people, no matter some non-voters agree or not. He believes eventually people will agree.

On the contrary, politician serving for voter, in order to solicit votes, would intentionally surrender a part of people's benefits, for his votes. Decades ago, most politicians were shame of doing this. But now, seems their bar is getting lower and lower.

Sadly, Chesa is the latter.
