Anti-China posts can be racist. If someone is yelling about the Chinese government oppressing people, great.

But it sure does seem like people are out there fomenting FUD about China as China, not really in reference to particular policies or practices that need to change.

For example, in The New York Times's coverage of that time the US decided to try and ban people anywhere selling good GPUs and semiconductor stuff to people in China, it's all about "how effective will this be at preventing China from having things" and "how much will this cost Americans". Not "is this the right thing to do to best stop people in China from being oppressed" or "why should the US be in charge of who can make microchips".

You could say "we think China's government is going to use GPUs to abuse human rights" or "we think if China ever develops a halfway decent semiconductor industry they will immediately invade Taiwan", but often that kind of context seems to have been deemed irrelevant. People are just taking it as read that it is right and proper for the US to decide what industries Chinese people may or may not do, and how good at them they are allowed to be.

And I don't think they'd do that in the absence of racism.

Is it smart enough that it can get the thread of what you are looking for without as much rerolling or handholding, so this comes out better?

They could also be having to check lots of people against the lists of who is allowed in what private subs. Which could in turn cause problems if the code there assumes that usually people are allowed in the private subs they visit and relies on that to be fast.

Not sure that there were any private subs with tens of millions of disallowed subscribers before this morning.

Sometimes I think systemd just is the system at this point. It really wants to be everything. Just needs to learn to sling pixels and install snaps, and we can all finally drop GNU/Linux for systemd/UEFI.

Maybe they turned off the servers because the servers were telling everyone to leave. Better to be down than to let people see the mods all on strike.

Or maybe it's just broken.
