Maybe you should make your own instance and ban anyone asking questions you dont like?

Couldn’t even answer my question lol

Well the votes need to mean something obviously. North Koreans also vote, would you class NK as a democracy?

Hmm, yeah the ethno-state that is china has never done anything wrong, especially not to its own citizens.

What will the Chinese government do to me?

What will a democratic government do to you?

Nations are allowed to choose alternative forms

Sure, but the people of china don’t have much say. If they voice a critical opinion they’re silenced, doesn’t seem like they’re allowed to choose.

I’m sure you’ve heard the Churchill quote: “Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

You’d rather live under a dictatorship than in a democracy? That’s an interesting opinion, not without its merit I’ll admit. A benevolent dictator can be the most effective form of government, the problem is what happens after they’re gone.

This discussion started with the question “is it better to have a democracy or a dictatorship spy on you” but sure.

China is a communist country governed by one political party that allows only limited democratic activity.

Interesting quote from your link. I’f they adopt democracy and allow fair elections then it wouldn’t be a problem but maybe that’s too European for your liking

This was never about performance, I hope we get more competitive products.

A democracy is the people voting lol. You also get what you vote for, some people vote against themselves. Nice thing about China is the state knows best and you dont need to vote :)

Yeah, North Korea too

It’s theoretically a democracy, china isnt

You think the Chinese government is ethical?

Edit: I see now which instance this is haha, never mind

What do you mean daily drive both? You can just upload the keepass file to Dropbox and gdrive, its encrypted in the unlikely event of a security breach

You can shift culture, at least slowly. I think our best shot at significantly reducing animals killed is probably investing more into lab-grown meat

I see what you did there

Countries and borders are an arbitrary concept

Very Lemmy comment haha

Not arguing FPS here lol. Arguing 4k, which you can run in 144hz in a lot of games even without a 5090, you failed to mention if you had tried 4k which I assume you haven’t based on the switch to FPS instead of resolution

The entire move to the realtime raytracing paradigm, which has enabled AAA game devs to get very sloppy with development by not really bothering to optimize any lighting, nor textures

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about here. Ray tracing has nothing to do with textures and very few games force you to use RT. What is “allowing” devs to skimp on optimization (which is also questionable, older games weren’t perfect either) is DLSS and other dynamic resolution + upscaling tech

Have you tried 4k? The difference is definitely noticeable unless you play on like a 20" screen

Such a pointless thing to do which puts a massive target on your back for no reason. Backlash is deserved and maybe he learned something

I agree, I’m not saying anyone should be put down for wanting to try something difficult but that they should be told of the odds of success. Maybe encourage them to put their effort into something more achievable. Everyone should be allowed to try of course, no one has good odds for becoming famous/successful but inevitably some people will be

So you assume everyone will instantly get a job and contribute to society? That seems very unlikely

Do you have an example of a good nation?
