This is over a developer accessing GitHub? WHAT THE FUCK?
The land of the free
I don’t think China has ever even tried to pretend it’s the land of the free.
Some china fans seem to think it is
Eh the authoritarian capitalists who love the CCP generally seem to embrace the fact that China is authoritarian - they see it as a good thing!
O.o Did you just confuse America with China?
It’s a lemmy user base joke
The ever aging battle of living in a digital world with global reach whilst being forced to live and comply within the lines drawn in sand.
Not sand, pencil, and the rich have all the erasers. But yeah no, good luck out there, it’s a totally fair and even playing field, trust!
Wow, this is so well articulated and to the point.
why is this a blog spam article badly copied from the original source at https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/china-dev-fined-salary-vpn-10m-ecny-airdrop-asia-express/ ?
There’s a coin telegraph logo on the top of the website so I guess is some licensed syndicated content
it is indeed somewhat attributed, but it still very much looks like scraped content.

fuck ccp, stupid cunts
They got fined for doing their job basically. Sick shit.
Good luck being a developer or do technical support without GitHub, Google, Reddit (Lemmy?) or stackexchange
Or market your product without the possibility of accessing any western social network
If you ever notice, all apps developed in china are similar. Ads at start, invasive tracking using dummy images dropped in /pictures, unnecessary permissions like phone and IMEI, and so on. They literally don’t have a way to compare to something else. There’s the Baidu SDK, Tencent SDK, aliyun SDK and they are using bad coding practices because they’re doing that in isolation
They’re shooting in their feet
With a machine gun
Third party scraped reports citing a crypto shill site’s reporting on a blurry and redacted document from China’s equivalent of Facebook is how I get all my accurate and true news about things that really happened.
And there is still a lot of people, especially on lemmy, basically worshipping China and other communist countries.
Capitalists put you in jail for marijuana. They used to put you in jail for alcohol. Hell, child labor is used in capitalist countries. China honestly is an authoritarian mixed economy. But perhaps, even in the USA, authoritarism is preferred.
whataboutism
