Sure yeah I could be wrong. If America scares them more than China it’s a major turning point because they are European.

What I initially got from their comment: They are more concerned about actually real threats in their life like Google, Meta, or Apple which are American and are probably what they are using at work and outside of work given they live in Europe. They are less concerned about china because they don’t use chinese phones daily or hangout in weChat (I hope).

Where I can of course be wrong about this: They are actually using Tiktok and don’t care about the possible spying. They could be using chinese tech and simply not know. main concern is if they are on some tech stack at work or their ISP has equipment from chinese companies known to phone home.

if you want an academic discussion about world war accelerating events you will have more luck pestering your local professor rather than demanding evidence from someone who isn’t intending to apply too much rigor on a lemmy post.

thats not what they said did they? they said they are more concerned about American companies harvesting their data as they live in Europe and don’t have as much affinity to China.

oh nuanced! you’re so sophisticated! first don’t dismiss others as if they have no idea. acknowledge you may not be the smartest in the room. Otherwise you come off as a clown.

critical thinking is when you can differentiate a multimillion dollar corporation defending itself vs. pilots and crew who have nothing to gain and a lot of risk coming out about how bad their ex-employer screwed up and swept it under the rug. this sort of stuff is not uncommon from corporations.

I am more likely to believe that Air India was screwing up because they have a history of this. If a lot of people complain about smoke coming out of places it shouldn’t be, then i would listen to them rather than the owner who pretends everything is fine.

if they missed your point you should feel the urge to be more clear. Not act holier than thou

username checks out. You should leave the critical thinking to people who aren’t born yesterday

only if you deliberately bury your head at evidence or on Boeing payroll.

that was a horrifying read as a software engineer but also as an Indian.
