Wouldn't say I'm dying on any hill here, only saying there are very few people whose deaths should be celebrated, and these are not those people.

I've got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I'm really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.

Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.

If this is the thinking I can expect on this instance, perhaps this is not the instance for me.

I feel that maybe you're reading my question as 'critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc' which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it's possible that painting all critique with a broad 'xenophobia' brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.

I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?

Mx is the base.
Mx Pro and Mx Max are mid to mid-high.
Mx Ultra is the highest spec.

I'd like to add, as someone who has to time-shift watching the grand prix, I sure would appreciate not having the weekend spoiled in post titles. I literally had to unsubscribe and even filter out r/formula1 because they'd post spoilers in post titles.

Great suggestion. I'm already there @blitzen@bookwyrm.social

Consider me subscribed! As much as I like r/xbiking, I like that you chose not to copy the name.

Nuked and deleted my numerous alts over the past few days. Nuked and deleted my main and oldest account (14 years) just a few hours ago.

Might spool up that self-hosted lurk-only software to still browse, but I'm not posting another word on there.

The “non-commercial” requirement to exempt third party accessibility apps is extremely underhanded and not being talked about enough.

How hard was it to set up an instance? I'm fairly decent with these things, and could spool up an shared server, but have never used Docker if that's the best way.
