Comment on I made a mistake, I started using Reddit again in ~talk
Nijuu LinkI don't understand all the whinging by people about reddit. Maybe I don't frequent the biggest popular subreddits at all. Been using it for eons. No issues with my regular subreddits. Only issue...I don't understand all the whinging by people about reddit. Maybe I don't frequent the biggest popular subreddits at all. Been using it for eons. No issues with my regular subreddits. Only issue for me is the bad UI of the website now. Really awkward to use (I'm using it via paid android app these days as a result ). Fwiw the only things that bother me with the site UI aside is all frequent use of meme art of gifs.. Annoying plus.

Comment on US government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V in ~society
Nijuu Link ParentYeah but the diversification has been going on the last few years to avoid having China as the sole supplier of the things you mentioned.

A ton of manufacturing has moved to Vietnam for example. In terms of tech Taiwan arguably is a bit more important than China (probably one reason they are trying to get Taiwan back into the fold)

Umm relationships for me are deeper intimate more emotional bonds. Friendships have a more shallow feel to them?. Think 100m deep relationships. Friendships 50m. Close friendships 75m. Best buds 85m. Well thats how i see it :)
