That’s not what grok means you complete goof! I’m using the terminology Elon named “Grok” the groombot after. Would you give it a rest?

Buddy, if I was angry with you, I wouldn’t be explaining the basics of conversation to you. Imagine having this kind of discussion off the internet. You would never be like this. You would suddenly remember the versatility of language, and the point I am making, because otherwise you’d feel ridiculous.

It all makes sense

Americans, when you remind them they live in a world of shit they created: “You have to want me to like you or you’re a bad person lol”

No, I don’t. You are pond scum. Put me on the phone with your mother. I’ll give that slag what for. You were raised up wrong.

[sees someone doing truly burger-brained shit] what are we, a bunch of ASIANS?

as usual clods act like you misparsed a message to pretend they’re unable to grok it, rather than unwilling

Well, I’m happy to stop talking if you’re the type more interested in catfighting than even interpreting the conversation correctly. GreenBottles did in fact start off saying Microsoft is using Temu encryption. If Microsoft was using Temu encryption then their customers would be safe & they would have a record of zero data breaches. I don’t think farmers would buy anything important on Temu, I never said no Chinese person would use it. This is anecdotal from speaking to urbanites who were more interested in high-quality manufacturing for throwing some money around in the markets. Nevermind!

I’m glad you buy your Chinese stuff directly instead of through Bezos, but I hope you can see that the kids using Temu synonymously with “dogshit” are being somewhat racist. Since this isn’t based off a comparison with durable good from Amazon or the supermarket. Amazon support just isn’t worth the markup. It’s informed by propaganda spreading through unconventional means such as gore websites plastered with Russian and Chinese industrial accidents or hit-and-runs from the 2000s. Things change, and when that change is accompanied by a meme where a Chinese company is used as an adjective meaning dogshit, I think, well, the advertising firms that these Fortune 500 companies employ would feel quite chickenshit if they got beaten to the punch by natural slang developments. They’d be saying gee, I wish we got them talking like this five years before.

How specious. Yes, Temu is trash mixed with treasure, but it’s the exact same garbage you pay a premium for at online or brick-and-mortar retailers, so I find it quite funny when USonians act above it. You don’t have an option for better quality that isn’t as Chinese as possible without getting ripped off, unless you need cameras or the latest graphics cards. Temu encryption is good. American corporate encryption leans very bad. Just watch some cybersecurity conferences. More than racism I’m irritated by people using terminology wrong.

I manually post on these as well, they currently have only used post scheduling, haven’t set up feeds. It’s nice to hide my own accounts from each other, and if I don’t, then I’m going to forget and people will get mad that the bots are unmarked. Not your problem.

So, any comment on me pointing out the obvious racism?

Entrepreneur dot com 🤤

Temu is, as Chinese netizens will tell you, full of items on a lower 4th rung of quality well below what they are used to (at least the urbanites, but I doubt farmers want to buy junk for shit they need to do). That doesn’t mean that a single-board computer you buy off it would be incapable of anything you need to do, just surrounded by stuff advertised in a misleading way to get you to buy more shit.

Their business itself has customer data well-encrypted, never sends out your email to spammers (I isolate email accounts I would notice). They have never had a single data breach.

You can get one off Swappa for like $300 after tax

This is great, surprised it took me so long to notice this project, it’s right up my alley

Shame it uses Google Play Services. I have neglected to find a better ebook app since I just port everything to my ereader. It is important for previewing

How is it versus VLC? I’ve been looking to find a new home for music-only since turning MusicBrainz scrobbles on-and-off to avoid scrobbling films is annoying

Rethink is amazing and the only real option I’ve found for nonstandard vpns

It’s more of a music FOSS collection. You want Seeker (Soulseek client), Tubular (NewPipe fork I use for Bandcamp + Souncloud + Youtube music videos), Metrolist (Youtube Music app with amazing caching + downloading + favorite syncing + playlist exports), Pipepipe (which I use for Youtube and Peertube regular stuff, also great at handling offline usage for bad internet, it has the cutting-edge YT unblocking), and ListenBrainz + MusicSearch for MusicBrainz scrobbles + cached Brainz searches.

One thing that annoys me is ListenBrainz cannot cache offline scrobbles. Is that too much to ask? Oh well. It produces an RSS feed of all my listens when I am online, lets you whitelist apps (Pipepipe is not whitelisted, VLC is, podcast apps are not, etc)

Basically I am a god and record companies work for me now. Any other beastmode individuals got tools to add to my repertoire?

Spotube, my only Spotify app is in a pretty bad state development-wise, Transistor is cool but I’m not big on internet radio, https://f-droid.org/packages/org.woheller69.audio_analyzer_for_android/ and https://f-droid.org/packages/de.fff.ccgt/ are great but only if you make music
