    I built a PC earlier this year which should last me a long, long time. I fully expect my next one to come almost entirely from China

      Yeah no, i still prefer being spied on by the US over being spied on by China.

      Better yet, get me a computer that has only open source hardware, one that I can finally call my own

        fellas, is it better to be spied on by the world hegemon that has fought uninterrupted wars for decades?

          Or by a government committing genocide on subsets of it’s citizens? A government that has disappeared citizens for decades for bit falling in line? Yeah, the US does that now too but at least it’s just starting. At least the US has had some sort of free press until recently. Good luck with any of that in China

          Also, you missed the part where I said that nobody should be able to spy on me, we need open source hardware. That is the much bigger point. The US and China both suck, I don’t want to have to deal with either

            offer me any proof of any genocide that’s not just unsourced articles in western msm or pictures of random prisoners, and ill believe it. i mean we can see heinous shit that proves genocide coming daily from gaza. similar for russia/ukraine war.

            china is much better at cooperating with everyone else, while the us will usually resort to violence and couping us, bribing our politicians, invading us, etc. one is more dangerous than the other to be spied by, for sure.

            we need open source hardware

            yes, sure. that’d be great. you might like how china has been investing on trying to develop risc-v lately.

              Yeah. As soon as I posted this I started thinking through that and realized that I’m completely wrong. It may actually be better for anyone to have China spy on them. In fact, especially USA citizens.

            in a country that was couped by the cia before. so probably not a nice place.

            but then again that doesn’t really narrow it down one bit does it…
