The constitution still claims that they’re China, but they can’t change that claim in the constitution because China doesn’t want them to. China doesn’t want Taiwan to exist as a independent country, and changing that in the constitution would very likely provoke military attack from China.
What the president and their diplomats have been doing these years, is just avoiding claming either way, but acting like they are indeed an independent country named Taiwan.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Epic Games Bragged About Beating Steam’s Boot Times So Valve Dropped A PatchEnglish
1·19 days agoFor me it regularly takes (took? haven’t used Steam after the update) 15+ seconds
I still can’t get over randomly seeing Japanese words in an English context (especially when written in Kanji) haha. But yes, I do maintain a huge (thick? tall? lot of? big?) 建前 with almost everyone.
It’s not that difficult to remember which people use which messaging apps. I use Signal, Line, Whatsapp, Matrix, Telegram, heck even Instagram DMs with different people. I try to push people to Signal whenever I can though.
ah yes, one fire and one girl

Android@lemmy.world•Pixel Fans are leaving Google and I Finally Understand WhyEnglish
2·3 months agoI also use GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 here. My banking apps don’t work. They used to work just fine, but they decided to push updates making the apps ununsable on non-Google certified OSes.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that the term "Jaywalking" was invented in the 1920s by the auto industry to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestriansEnglish
7·3 months agoI think you might be misunderstanding. The word jay was first used on drivers driving wrong, but then the usage expanded to pedestrians too to describe people walking wrong.

Games@lemmy.world•Some of Android's Most Interesting Games Aren't on the Play StoreEnglish
2·5 months agoI love AAAAXY! Favorite game available on Android.
Just writing this for people who’d want to know: hoshi (星) is the daily, common word used to refer to stars and planets. This is the most common word that someone would use to refer to a star. However, for science, more precise terms do exist: wakusei (惑星) for “planets” and kousei (恒星) for “stars”.
You use Fahrenheit in Vietnam?!

randinttoGeopolitics : News and discussion@lemmy.ml•The United States is named as the biggest threat to the world (even by Americans)English
1·6 months agoSorry. Turns out I didn’t read the proposition right. I missed that it’s asking about the threat to the world. To my defense, the screenshot attached to the post didn’t say so, but the post title and (presumably updated) figure in the site linked to does. Yes, in that case I agree that the most popular answer in Taiwan would be the US. Thank you for pointing it out to me!

1·6 months agoI read (and re-read) your comment and I’m pretty sure you meant it as they didn’t ask Taiwan.

21·6 months agoThey did ask Taiwan. It is listed as a separate entry. Did you read the data?

2·6 months agoYeah, it’s quite surprising that only 55% of the Taiwanese polled stated that they’d support Taiwan’s position. It quite probably is true that most don’t think it’s a big issue, especially considering that Taiwan got a negative score in Concerned About Foreign Attack. However I’m not quite sure how they (45%) would consider the US to be a bigger threat than China is, since Taiwan isn’t on bad terms with the US and China is the one who drops (empty or not) threats against Taiwan every now and then.
