Lots of interesting stuff baked into this one. Personally I really enjoy the bitching about the cashier who weighs the vegetables as if slow checkout lines don't exist in the west

Hahaha I saw that one in the wild, pure fucking cope. It's also funny that once you break it all down, they're just complaining about treats and other selfish things in that comment.
Waiting in line, big deal.
LED crosswalks. Who cares about ped safety, I need to get to where I'm driving to FASTER.
The OS complaint is just chauvinism. "Cheap CHINESE OS"
Trains vs "Private Property" suburbia. I mean, do I need to?
I fucking wonder why there's such a massive gulf in carbon emmisions per capita between the west and China? Western culture has actually devolved entirely into how many treats you have and how quickly you can replace the ones you already have with new ones.
I think the OS comparison was him saying they're using US-made OS'es (though I'm pretty sure they mainly use Android with the google parts replaced with homespun stuff)
Could be. But surely he is aware the major phone brands in China have been working on their own os' for awhile now?
Whatever it doesn't matter. Let them cope.
Even then, Android sans Google is an open source project. It's not the US's "IP" to steal, it's literally in the commons
Android is a Linux distribution and most of the rest of it is based on Java largely, neither of which are American. I'm sure they wouldn't call Huawei's Android spin-off Chinese though.
Well yeah but it's Google™ brand Android™ - an American company built a fence around it and that's good enough for him
Xiaomi made a lot of people very angry by ripping off open source projects and not sharing the code like the license demanded. Their version of Android is made to look as much like Apple's interface as possible.
I actually had a Xiaomi for a while, it had the strangest process for unlocking the bootloader, made me use that default Apple ripoff interface for a couple weeks before it would let me install LineageOS. It was genuinely pretty slick though.
That also is a common problem with Chinese companies, idk if it's a language barrier or what but it's tough to get them to publish their changes
