OK its ugly, thats a plus. Now how hard is it to use because i dont want a text editor that i can just open and start editing text without an instruction manual.

Oh yeah you’re completely right. I was thinking of open office.

Oof massive cve. It was disclosed so I’m assuming its already patched?

I thought only office was dead. This is great, only office is so much nicer to use than libre office.

I can deny it

What you’re referring to as linux is actually libre office/linux. 🤠

Ok, I dont think I understood your original point at all.

So youre unhappy that the hardware isnt 100% Foss? Or that the work valve is doing is specialised to only handheld gaming? I’m not sure what you are criticising and what an alternative would look like.

Thanks for the reply. That explanation makes sense to me.

Most Linux users didnt use Linux because it was sold to them. They had to choose to swap over on their existing device. The steamdeck is a completely different entry point. These people paid money for linux and a device that runs it. I think thats what @IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world was getting at?

Oh no as soon as I saw that dock setup and the ubtunu choice I knew it was gonna be cooked. Lots of valid criticism, he did quite a bit of successful troubleshooting for a beginner. He cooked linux pretty hard but could have been worse.

Oh of course brainwashing is just something made up by the us to make tankies look bad. Of course how could I have missed that.

Thanks for reeducating me. I’ll forget everything i know about propaganda and environmental influences. Those can’t have influenced peoples thoughts that would be so crazy.

Edit: can’t reply to any comments because disagreement is against the rules.

No, you can’t just rewrite the definition of democracy and take out all the key parts just so you can apply it to China and try and washing over all their flaws.

Didnt the CCP weld people into their homes during covid. People have no human rights to the CCP. They are just tools to be used to further the parties goals.

Fine I’ll ask myself “why do Chinese citizens overwhelmingly approve of their government, and feel that they have genuine democratic input despite having a different democratic model than my own?”

Probably because their government dominates every part of their life. Constantly propagandises them and viciously cracks down on any dissent. They also have been having a ton of economic growth which usually results in favour for the party in power.

They think they have democracy because they have been mislead to what democracy is and theyve been told they have it “its not authoritarianism its just democracy with Chinese characteristics” and those characteristics are stripping all rights and power from the populous.

Yeah I was wrong on that. The article framed it weird by talking about the 95% rate then saying local government was considerably less favourable.

It is obvious to anyone that people living under and authoritarian regime are not able to freely express themselves and that was not accounted for in the paper you linked. The paper even confirms people are heavily propagandised and is more highlighting the trends match economic growth.

This paper suggests its off by about 28 points due to peoples fear of expressing anti government beliefs.

None of that is democracy. Perceiving democracy based off a few unrelated vauge measurements is not democracy. Thats such a weak citation.

I haven’t read the cowbee comment yet but I have absolutely no faith that they have any point.

So you think 95.5% is accurate and there is no brainwashing going on. People must just love authoritarian regimes because they always report near perfect satisfaction polling results.

I’m not sure that link helps you at all. It doesnt mention anything about china being a democracy and proves my point.

“95.5 percent of respondents were either relatively satisfied or highly satisfied with Beijing” while 11% were satisfied with local government.

Bro cmon dont tell me you dont see what’s happening here. China plays propaganda for its citizens constantly and punishes anti government thought. But not for the local government. This poll doesnt accurately capture sentiment became people do not have freedom of expression in china. I’d believe that most people like the government, its done very well but 95.5% is a joke.

You’re sitting here trying to tell me that the one party authoritarian state who regularly crushes citizens freedom of expression is actually democratic. Yeah I’m sure they wander to the voting booth and make the touch decision of voting for the CCP or nothing with the CCP waiting over their shoulder.

You people are delusional.

Is Japan communist?

In what?
