China is a nation which cares very much about history. China has historically had important ties with Russia, particularly back in the Mao Zedong days. This history likely informs their closeness with Russia far more than anything going on immediately today. They see themselves as an embarrassed nation and seek some level of equality in the global system. This is very predictable and altogether not all that concerning.

The article specifically notes this. They exclude chromeOS. If you include ChromeOS, it’s closer to 6.5%

Here's hoping pay goes up and grocery prices stagnate

I mean for what it’s worth, as my income has gone up I’ve chosen more expensive ingredients for cooking. Usually those things are more local anyway, like at my local farmers market or food co-op.

Yeah those do exist but they tend to be the exception and not the rule. And anyone working minimum wage is gonna avoid using it because they’re close to starvation a lot of the time. I’ve been there

There’s a difference between being rich and “not struggling”.

If you can afford to contribute to a retirement account, you’re probably not struggling to make ends meet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like most people do not, in fact, watch stock tickers and that most people do actually pay close attention to their ability to make ends meet shrinking by the month.

It tends to be a little slower than mainstream social media, but I don’t expect that to be comparable nor do I expect it to improve quickly.

The user base is too small.

I didn’t know that site worked for Twitter. I’ve just been using Nitter.

Thanks for additional context. I don't open Twitter links anymore because 3/4 of the time the link doesn't work after Musk made changes
