As many of you know, between the end of 2024 and few first months of 2025, a few events involving China shook the western internet: The release of Black myth: wukong, the red note/xiahongshu debacle, the release of Deepseek, the release of Ne Zha 2 and IShowSpeed's live-streamed visit to China.

Since then, the attitude of western social media users toward China seems to have shifted. There are still the omnipresent propaganda of course, but now there is a pushback against it that just didn't exist before.

A consequence of that has been the rise of pro-China content on social medias, notably youtube and tiktok. The peoples who went on red note and got outraged by how bad their standards of living are in comparison to China are not falling for the authoritarian surveillance credit score scare tactics anymore. I've straight up seen multiple peoples say that censorship and cameras are acceptable if it mean having cheap healthcare, groceries and rent, safe streets and high standards of living and that the US had surveillance and censorship too anyway.

Here are youtube channels that do compilations of pro-China tiktok videos and commentaries related to them: global impulse Comfort for life Unique

This is especially interesting because it is a new pipeline for us to exploit. Peoples having good opinion of how China is managed will make peoples look at how it is governed, which seeing as China is explicitly governed by a communist party, will inevitably translate to interest about communism. In fact, it's already starting to happen in the case of some of the Channels I talked about: Unique published a pretty good video about Chinese socialist democracy and Comfort for life just a few hours ago, out of the blue, published a video straight up promoting communism.

And the funny thing is that the US state accidentally opened this new pipeline for us pretty much all by itself.

2 decades in the making Originally developed from 1999 to 2001 by Affinix Software, Infinity pushed the humble Game Boy Color to its absolute limits. But as the handheld’s retail lifespan ended and the market shifted to the Game Boy Advance, publishing struggles mounted. The Affinix team eventually went their separate ways, and the project was formally canceled in 2002 — leaving Infinity as one of gaming’s great “what-ifs.”

Interest in this lost gem never faded. In 2016, an unfinished version was released as a free ROM, sparking renewed excitement among retro fans who saw Infinity as one of the last great Game Boy Color titles.

Two decades after its cancellation in 2021, we launched a Kickstarter campaign to revive the project, acquired the rights to the game, and dedicated ourselves to finishing what was started so long ago. An incredible 3,458 backers pledged CA$ 370,823 to help bring Infinity back to life. After 4 years of hard work, the once-abandoned gem has been reborn into a fully realized RPG — a true miracle comeback in retro gaming history.

Now it’s your turn to experience it. Try the free demo and see why so many believed this game was worth saving!

Every community from gamers, wrestling fans, golfers, musicians, comedians when the Saudis pay way too much money for something:

Them after you point out that yes, capitalism indeed sucks:

The Hungarian leader said it doesn't matter if a few Hungarian drones flew over Ukraine, since he doesn't consider Ukraine an independent, sovereign country.

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán played down the possibility of Hungarian drones violating Ukraine's airspace in an interview released on Monday. Even if a drone enters Ukraine from Hungary, Orbán said, Kyiv should deal with drones coming from the east, from Russia.

Despite federal roadblocks, an ambitious agroforestry program is feeding people, cleaning the air, and helping offset climate change.

...In Geekbench 6.5 single-core, the X2 Elite Extreme posts a score of 4,080, edging out Apple’s M4 (3,872) and leaving AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (2,881) and Intel’s Core Ultra 9 288V (2,919) far behind...

...The multi-core story is even more dramatic. With a Geekbench 6.5 multi-core score of 23,491, the X2 Elite Extreme nearly doubles the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (11,386) and comfortably outpaces Apple’s M4 (15,146) and AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 370 (15,443)...

...This isn’t just a speed play — Qualcomm is betting that its ARM-based design can deliver desktop-class performance at mobile-class power draw, enabling thin, fanless designs or ultra-light laptops with battery life measured in days, not hours.

One of the more intriguing aspects of the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is its memory‑in‑package design, a departure from the off‑package RAM used in other X2 Elite variants. Qualcomm is using a System‑in‑Package (SiP) approach here, integrating the RAM directly alongside the CPU, GPU, and NPU on the same substrate.

This proximity slashes latency and boosts bandwidth — up to 228 GB/s compared to 152 GB/s on the off‑package models — while also enabling a unified memory architecture similar in concept to Apple’s M‑series chips, where CPU and GPU share the same pool for faster, more efficient data access...

... the company notes the "first half" of 2026 for the new Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme...

Tired of using thumb drives to install Linux on new computers and I wanna install stuff via pxe. Do we have options in the open source world?

Work uses KACE so I'm used to that interface, but its expensive and ass.
