Does "customize" not work? As in:

EndeavorOS KDE customization

This is the first time that I've tried to start customizing my system

There is a consensus in this community. Posts that use the racist term get removed when they're noticed by mods. You can check the mod log.

Hey, just so you know, "rice" is a racist term. You should remove it from your title and post body before a mod removes your post

Do you really believe this? Red hat is paying people to shill for them on lemmy? I don't suppose I could trouble you for some evidence of that, could I?

Paid moderators? Why do you think they get paid? Who do you think is paying them?

I'm saying that if sufficient infrastructure exists then it's fine to just ban SUVs entirely because they're not necessary.

I think I'm a big dumdum because I didn't realize until literally this comment that this is the other, better, non-carbrained solution. I was over here like "so what, you just want people with SUV's to decide of their own accord not to drive them into downtown because suddenly they realize they're bad people for doing so? Never gonna happen."

But now that I see your much better idea, simply ban all SUVs from Paris, I'm entirely on board! I do think that's going to be a harder law to pass than hiking parking fees, but it would definitely be a much better one!

OP, why did you post this? What do you hope people reading will get out of it?

Why didn't you link the original source: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/27/18859198.php

Did you notice that the text sounds like it was written by a bad ai?

If I were a little more cynical, I'd say you're posting this because you want people to read the headline, think to themselves "China bad", then move on with their day, doing no more investigation into the matter.

If the above paragraph was not your intention, please explain to me what exactly you were hoping to achieve here.

I'm not surprised they walked it back. They've pulled the classic "new coke" trick here: put out something deeply terrible no one will ever agree to, then walk it back pretty significantly to something still shitty and exploitative, but not as bad as what you had threatened. Your customers feel like this is a win, but they're still stuck with a worse deal than before the beginning of the debacle.

I try to stay civil outside hexbear, but this post is testing my resolve on that. Are you really so treat-brained that you're ok with forcing children to mine cobalt so you can have a smartphone?

You should take some time and think about whether that's really the kind of person you want to be

The source for this? Radio Free Asia interviewed one (1) anonymous person.
