As Americans flock to RedNote, privacy advocates warn about surveillance
  • In a world where all parties are surveiling you, it makes the most sense to pick the one with the least power over you. Meta and x have people in the US federal government, and even most fediverse instances are hosted in five eyes countries.

  • it's true, lemmy.ml is a sham...
  • Sure, all governments do. China makes themselves look better. The US tries to make everyone else look worse since they know no one would believe propaganda that makes them look better.

  • Solar Array 250 Miles Long to Power Beijing
  • Except China actually completes these things. They installed more solar in 2023 than all other countries installed new power of all types combined.

    They have more nuclear power plants than the rest of the world combined. They have more wind power than the rest of the world combined.

    Oh, and they have more high and low speed rail than the rest of the world combined, and most of that was built in the last twenty years.

  • Rednote right now
  • Median monthly income in China according to most sources I can find is just 1300-1400 USD. Still, 82 USD for that income is not expensive, and that's for higher end private medical care outside the main healthcare system.

    It'd be like an American paying for medical care with a weeks groceries.

  • On Politics and Proton - a message from Andy
  • Three of the accomplishments in that selection were struck down before going into effect, the antitrust doj actions are nice and all, but don't actually fix anything or defend the working class -- mainly because the effect the admin desired, price reduction and wage increases, didn't happen. Inflation corrected wages are lower now than in 2020, and food prices never stabilized.

  • Career tip #345
  • Forklift operators yes, construction workers also yes depending on the region. In many areas of the US the majority of construction workers are undocumented workers and thus kept at or below minimum wage. Forklift operators really don't make a lot of money. Like more than general warehouse labor but even in decent states that tends to be pretty low on the spectrum.

  • Democrats move to restrict ballot access in New Jersey
  • Except that hasn't happened. This is a response to Dems being unpopular for anyone that doesn't have a Reagan tattoo.

    This stifles third parties and independents, forcing candidates to follow either dem or Republican party lines, both of which are deeply unpopular ideologies, thus lowering engagement and political choice.
