  • So thing is, the Chinese have so much money that they’re just spending money on getting you to buy things. You can get things order things and get them delivered to your country for probably what they cost to make, maybe even less. Idea is to stifle western storefronts and marketplaces so everyone orders from Temu, Shein, etc.

    Like if I want to send something in my country, from one package locker to another, it’s 3-5€. By courier from my door to recipient’s door, it’s more like 10-20€. There’s a bunch of shit on these Chinese apps/websites that costs less than 1€ and shipping is included.


  • Also if it is real it’s not that bad to compliment a president on choosing a guy that actually is listening about what you have to say against big tech.

    I’m hoping Yen just fucked up and posted without thinking it through, but seriously, I can’t in any way take anyone seriously who says Trump is sticking it to big tech and fighting for the little guy when we literally know the going rate for a big tech bribe to Trump. It’s a million dollars from the CEO personally, donated to the inauguration fund. Zuck, Cook and others have each done it, and gained audiences with Trump.




  • A month ago, I was very close to starting a company subscription, mostly for emails. Ended up going with Hetzner where I’ve got my server anyway and their email service is 100 accounts for the price of (their web hosting service), whereas gsuite and proton wanted about the same amount for every user.

    It’s not a significant amount for single digit users, but I’m just glad it’s not going to someone publicly supporting Trump.
