I remember around 2022, hearing the human cull in China may have exceeded over 200 million. Recently heard that the current remaining population in china (from combination of that human culling, and census lies) may be as small as 400 million.
Around same time, one clip I saw stuck with me, some guy in china, shouting "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!" Better to know you're under tyranny, deprived of liberty, so you can strive for emancipation, rather than cheering on your oligarch masters as if they're protecting your freedom from Johnny Foreigner who hates you for your freedoms. XD Keep repeating, "USA NUMBER ONE!" and "land of the free". Joke of the world. All around the world, we have a good laugh at that. Maybe when more Americans wake up out of that spell, we get to mend this. Hope still resides with the people in USA. Now if only they could avoid being chemically lobotomised back into obedience and non-threatening distraction. #StopFallingForIt

Authoritarian states often silence critics of their policies by jailing them or forcing them into exile. Yet they also aim to create a unified narrative about the nation's history, and any past event that threatens the established power structure can be subject to disappearance or revision. This can also mean removing individuals associated with past dissent from public circulation and public memory, so that future generations will ideally not know that such dissent ever existed.
Communist China is instructive in this regard. After the Chinese government cracked down in 2019 on Hong Kong protesters who opposed the new National Security law, they also arrested dissidents at those protests who had been active in earlier decades, so the memory of resistance in Hong Kong would be extinguished as well. Scrubbing all references to this history and its protagonists on websites and search engines ensures that China's digital world mirrors these physical removals.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping has become more draconian, disappearing more "unacceptable" people and cultural artifacts, he has tellingly grounded his expanding cult of personality in the precedent set by master silencer Mao Zedong, who erased tens of millions of people and animals and targeted China's entire high culture heritage for destruction.
"Disappearances, of one kind or another, have become the backbeat of Chinese public life under Xi Jinping," Evan Osnos concludes in a sobering 2023 New Yorker article. And yet we may not associate China with such disappearances, and democracies which are dependent on and enmeshed with China in areas of trade, manufacturing, and education have usually chosen to look the other way.
As of Jan. 2025, over one million Muslims (Uyghurs, ethnic Hui, ethnic Kazakhs, ethnic Kyrgyz, ethnic Tajiks, and ethnic Uzbeks) have been abducted and detained in over 1,200 camps in the Xinjiang region of China, with many subject to forced labor and others never heard from again as they vanish into the infrastructure of repression.
Major figures in Chinese political and business life have also continued to vanish, the fate of each one proving the maxims:
in an authoritarian state, you are powerful, until you are not.
Everyone but the strongman must be seen as dispensable.

"Today’s global civilisation, however, is deeply interconnected and unequal and could lead to the worst societal collapse yet, he says. The threat is from leaders who are “walking versions of the dark triad” – narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – in a world menaced by the climate crisis, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and killer robots"
"Kemp points to these “agents of doom” as the source of the current trajectory towards societal collapse. “These are the large, psychopathic corporations and groups which produce global catastrophic risk,” he says. “Nuclear weapons, climate change, AI, are only produced by a very small number of secretive, highly wealthy, powerful groups, like the military-industrial complex, big tech and the fossil fuel industry."
“The key thing is this is not about all of humanity creating these threats. It is not about human nature. It is about small groups who bring out the worst in us, competing for profit and power and covering all [the risks] up.”

Deepin is clearly looking more at Windows than macOS nowadays, with the taskbar at the bottom, and both styles you can pick from being basically Windows 10 or Windows 11.
The main menu is alright, with app search, the ability to sort applications by name, or freely by drag and drop in the list of apps, and a frequent and recently installed section.
I quite liked the Quick Actions module at the bottom right of the task bar, it's a very smartphone like interface, but practical.
In terms of personalization, you have the usual suspects, dark and light mode, accent colors, some form of global theme that changes accent colors, wallpapers and icons, or you can just change the icons and cursors individually, and the fonts. It's definitely no KDE or no Cinnamon here, and these theme changes don't apply uniformly to other apps.
Default apps are still in that same ballpark of being basic and simple, but being barely enough for anyone who just needs a computer for office work, email, and web browsing. It's all fine, but it hasn't progressed much since the last time I used Deepin.
Finally, Deepin is still stuck on X11. The betas talked about having experimental Wayland support, they couldn't ship with it in the end, and it's not there yet.
Finally, you have access to cross device sharing your clipboard to another computer, transfering files to other computers, or sharing the mouse cursor, unfortunately, that only works between computers running Deepin, or between Deepin and Windows.
Now, what sets Deepin apart from other distros and desktops, is its integration of AI features. First, is what they call UOS AI, its icon is present by default in the system tray, and it's basically just a gateway for you to have the various AI tools you use inside your OS: it doesn't come with its own model or anything, you need to enter an API key for any of the supported models, like GPT 3.5, GPT 4, and a few others that only have Chinese names that I can't read.
Deepin also includes the ability to build your own personal knowledge assistant, but it depends on the same models you have to configure.
And unfortunately, this is also true for the last feature is the Deepin System Assistant, an AI powered tool that lets you ask questions about how your system works. It's fine to try and simplify access to AI tools by giving users a single interface to let them access various types of assistants, but if you also expect users to actually generate API keys and enter them here, then it means your implementation of AI is not ready for prime time, and so your implementation at the OS level is not that useful, because anyone who knows how to generate a key and use it, and fix the errors, they have a paid account, and thy don't need your watered down interface.
Another thing introduced in Deepin 23 is what they call Linyaps, this is a new packaging format that Deepin created, and they started using that format for some of their own applications. It's another sandboxed format like Snaps or Flatpaks, where you build your app once for each architecture, and you don't need to build it for each distro and each distro's version. They have their own section in the App Store, with a bunch iof apps already, although most of these seem t be chinese apps that have untranslated names.

every locality and state needs to pass laws and ordinances to have a pre registry of the real #ice guys verified that they are trained …..and make it a crime to play dress up like this.
@gentlegardener @Professor_Stevens @disisdeguey There are federal and state laws against impersonating a law-enforcement officer already. If these people don't have a valid warrant card, have fake badges, are wearing fake uniforms, and asserting that they are federal officers, there's a pretty good chance that they're in violation.
The really fun thing will be when people start placing them under citizens' arrest and calling real law enforcement.
