US also praises Saudi and Israeli rule of law and democratic institutions.

North Korea seems a more trustworthy source of news than US nowdays.

Peter Thiel (Palantir) is one of their main investors. that should raise all alarm bellas for a product that advertises itself with "privacy"

Problem is that the US government is best friends with Saudis and UAE and those are American companies.

If bin Salman tells Trump I don't like this tweet Trump would rush to his office and threaten Twitter while letting his own family succumb.

Never. If you surpass a certain technological threshold it will start to get worse rather than better.

Funnily enough the language server protocol makes it a charm for all editors (including nvim and emacs) to use the exact same code intelligence as vscode does. And I find the emacs and vim experience even better since I only have to add the lsp and the respective language plugin to a text file and that's it.

The problem with anti cheat is that those are literally rootkits.

US spying on their "friends" Germany Austria Switzerland wow that's some news I would have not expected.

Also Washington Post.

Does it prevent the presumed IQ loss? If not then it's not useless but not very relevant either way.

The US has been on Saudi and North Korea level for a while now

But Tor is legal in EU

I think all drugs legal or not currently (including Alcohol, even beer etc. And Cigarettes) should only be sold in pharmacies and all should require a proof of IQ test as kind of a driving license.

Trusting Google, an American company. While it is sad you shouldn't trust a foreign company nonetheless an American one.

I needed this so badly in my life. I use mpv even for music this is a godsend.

While I technically would agree with you the problem is the US calls itself democracy. This behaviour is not a free democracy.

It's because it's a Chinese app. US companies have all incentive to show Communist spying. If it was Facebook app it would have been deleted instantly.

This was not to say "Private citizens think US spying is good" (even though you'd be surprised how many non technical people think so). If the US spies the government is justifying it for "security purposes" and as necessary. I was talking about the blatant hypocrisy with the likes of the US wanting to ban Tik Tok while Facebook does the exact same (and the US gov being sponsored by a Saudi Prince known for human right abuses on North Korean level).

It's a British company

Afaik only ARM chips have no ME and PSP. Since ARM is British they should also be infected though. Your best bet is to wait for a EU chip.

I don't get why people complain when China spies but when US does the exact same it seemingly doesn't matter. I don't condone spying at all just seems like hypocrisy.
