Hey there, I was wondering if there is any interest in some kind of recipe posting (at least biweekly) where the main purpose would be to show people how to make affordable, filling, yummy, and super easy to make meals.

Maybe the requirements could be less than 10 minutes of prep, 1 hour of cooking time and under $3ish a serving?

Example:

Lentil Soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 pound lentils
  • 1 8oz can of diced tomato's
  • 2 quarts vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground toasted cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise

Directions:

  • Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. - Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery and salt and sweat until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin and grains of paradise and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
  • All Done!

Not a fan of android or google tbh, but the hardware seems pretty nice. Also I was pretty surprised to see someone on Hexbear talking negatively about GrapheneOS and pixels. Good info tho, thanks for your input rat-salute-2

What about the OnePlus 12 do you like/dislike? Also are you running the stock rom?

Xiaomi 13 and MIUI

The good: The build quality outperformed any previous iPhone or Pixel I've used. Super fast charging, It took less than 15 minutes to reach nearly full charge. Also everything I used ran quite quickly, including the OS.

The bad: It was nearly difficult to properly receive notifications due to MIUI's battery management. There were no basic aesthetic modification options available; I got the impression that Xiaomi was pressuring me to purchase themes.

The meh: The language barrier was somewhat inconvenient when the keyboard would automatically switch to pinyin, could chalk this up to the pre install rom and my own skill issue of not being able to read hànyǔ or zhōngwén.

How do I get one outside of china? I have seen these on AliExpress, but I'm not sure whether I can help with this one as I acquired it from a close friend.

 

I'm really interested in HarmonyOS and other Chinese domestic market (CDM) phones and OSes after reading so many discussions about Huawei, Vivo, and OPPO phones. I was hoping we could compile some details on them and how one might get one from outside of China. A place where we could discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and distinctions of using them on a daily basis, perhaps with some reviews?

Idk if it’s rare but it’s def a banger

I'm really fucking tired of seeing this narrative championed by fed's and then watching people try to justify real transphobia and misogynistic behavior because it's China. Every fucking left of socdem comm on every fucking platform is the same shit: "China's trans people are not the same as in the west; stop applying settler/colonial/anglocentric logic and understating to China's transgender population.". 

I want to bring up a few points here, points that I think tell you where China stands when it comes to trans people.

  • They have made legal access to HRT extremely difficult; in 2022, online access to estradiol and other HRT is illegal.
  • Trans people are first required to get approval from their family before medical transition.
  • Most trans people lack supportive family and friends.
  • An alarming amount of trans people have experienced violence from their own families.
  • There are countless stories about AFAB people being raised as mascs, or in some of their words, as men or men.

I ask of you why there are only two narratives (CIA-sponsored pink-washed anti-China or we must excuse/ignore China's misogyny and transphobia because our cultures differ). Why are we not looking at the actual conditions of trans people in China?

"Is China becoming transphobic?"?

No, it has been due to its misogynistic culture and is only getting worse. IMO partly because of the constant narrative being perpetrated that trans people are some kind of western invention leveraged to wage ideological warfare against China and its allies. 

The world is not that binary; we all understand the positive impact that China has on the world, but we also must be honest with one another and ourselves. Trans people deserve better, regardless of what culture we exist in; limiting our access to medical transision, the lack of support from friends and family, and violence create a culture that is toxic and damaging to trans people.
