  • EVEN JUST A FEW HOURS SUCKS. I know from experience.

    Fuck the police. ACAB.

    The whole time I was just worried about if I was gonna be deported, then I remembered my mother is a citizen so I also have derivative citizenship. But still, it triggered me so much, I was constantly ruminating/thinking about the alternate timelines where I got deported. Still think about it from time to time, heck, with the current ICE nazification, it can still happen right now. Police sirens scared the shit out of me, I could be just chilling playing a horror game, and then the siren blares through the neighborhood and I my heartrate goes even above being faced with monsters in a game (because the monsters in real life (aka: cops) are much scarier), I essentially go into fight or flight mode.

    Like I had so many traumatic events throught my life, this unlawful arrest was the final nail in the coffin, I feel like I have permanent brian damage.

    Parents have betrayed me, my brother has betrayed me, my country of birth betrayed me, now I'm in a different country and still dealing with authoritarian bullshit, like these corrupt pigs. Never felt like I have a safe place anywhere in this world, this world is hostile.

  • 同志们请注意!!!

    你所看的所谓 “TANK MAN” 照片是邪恶的西方国家使用人工智能软件 (AI) 制造的, 用来抹黑我们伟大的中华人民共和国,千万不可信。

    我们一定要跟随党的指挥,跟随领导的指挥!

    1. Ask said worker to downgrade firmware, then, before they relock it, snatch phone and run out of the store.

    Lmfao I just saw that video on reddit, it was so bizarre

  • Soviet Anthem Intensifies

  • Hello fellow dissidents, please share how you have bravely defied tyranny and violated laws on here, I would enjoy to hear your stories.

  • Pretty sure if I criticized the CCP, the wumaos will call me a "汉奸" ("han traitor") despite me not having PRC Citizenship anymore (and I didn't even renounce it, they were the ones that revoked it 🤷‍♂️)

  • The photo op doesn't make sense at all. How would they know they there wasn't a second shooter?

  • I got reddit ban once for saying that some paedophiles are so bad, that lots of people think they should get the death penalty.

    Tbf, some people are hiding their LGBT-phobia under the guise of "i hate pedophiles", I'm not accusing you of anything, but I can see how that statement could be problematic.

  • Seems like I'm fucked. Being Chinese-American means the US government is constantly suspicious of me being a "CCP Spy" and also the CCP has overseas illegal "police stations", I'm getting fucked over by both sides. Just perfect

  • You trust China more? The State-Capitalist Authoritarian regime? They country that developed the spyware known as Wechat, which is currently monitoring most of the overseas Chinese Diaspora? LMFAO. Spoken like a westerner who never stepped foot on mainland China.

    Why are people always being campist lol. Just because you think "your side" is is bad, doesn't mean you should just blindly support the "other side".

  • Call me a conspiracy theorist, but my former country's (PRC) government literally concealed an entire massacre from the population (Tiananmen Square Massacre), how do we know the US Government couldn't pull off the same thing?

    Give the teen a gun with blank rounds, dude shoots, "misses", then the secret service sniper (who are loyal to trump) shoots and kill the trump supporter to add to the authenticity. Then they kill crooks. All wrapped up. Fascists don't mind sacrificing one of their own. This is why trump was so confident and did the photo op, they knew trump was never in danger.

    Where are the medical records, Mr. trump? No medical records means its staged.

    Sounds crazy, but if you go to mainland China and tell the younger generation that the government murdered people in Tiananmen Square, they'd say you're crazy too.

  • Can we have the South Korean Style standoff between police and the S.S.? 👀

    (I know its supposed to be initialized as USSS, but SS seems right considering the situation right now)

  • But you literally mentioned linux phones, why add that you'll use "iOS out of spite"? Lol

  • Hey don't mind me, I'm just gonna whip out my steamdeck (that I already have) to watch a youtube video using the desktop firefox. (Yes I know its 720p, but whatever lol, its good enough for gaming, its good enough for youtube)

  • A $200 phone in 2015 is not the same as a $200 phone in 2025. I know from experience.

    Those phones in 2015 were awful, but in 2025, they feel more like mid-range phones.

    Edit: And $600 is pocket change? Sound like someone lived a privilaged life.

  • Because the cheapest new iPhone is $600 and you can get a cheap new android phone for around $100-$200 and get 6 years of security updates (Galaxy A16 for example)

    If a smartphone is no longer a computer where you can install whatever you want, why bother investing so much money on a very locked-down phone? You can use the hundred of dollars you saved to spend on a small portable PC or something to run any software you want.

  • They are converging to become the same thing.

    Its not any better on iOS, fyi, they too require Apple's final approval.

  • There is a "firefox" but its just a re-skinned safari basicly, because Apple has some weird requirement of using their "webkit" or whatever, and no extensions allowed on the "firefox". I used an iPhone before (because I was a young adult and iPhones looked shiny) and I was so sad to find out I couldn't use uBlock Origin on it. And then finding out torrent apps are non-existent just made me cry.

    Yes they do have "adblockers" like Brave or those Adguard thing on safari, but those are dogshit and they broke like half of the time, and many ads get through anyways, especially on youtube (where as uBlock Origin only break sites like 5% of the time).

    If your phone isn't manually approved, its assumed your phone doesn't support 4g/5g, therefore, blocked.

    4G/5G phones have already been blocked

    Fairphone isn't certified in Australia, Pinephone also isn't, nor Librem 5.

    Custom ROMs on an approved phone might work for now, but they could potentially start verifying OS in the future if the autocratization trend continues. Also, manufacturers could starts start locking the bootloader.

    The best realistic way forward is have two devices, one is the "normie" phone, the other is your own pocket PC running a Libre OS.

  • It used to be a pocket computer, now its just a mini-prison-cell.

    If anyone is using currently using a flagship phone, whn your phone dies and you need a replacement: consider just getting a cheap $100 android phone then spend the rest of the money you would've spent on a flagship on a portable PC instead
