Remember that Chinese companies and peoples also contributed heavily to "Western" Open Source, from Linux kernel to Apache Spark. It should be a borderless world in Open Source ecosystem.

Gacha in Genshin is nasty unless you are not greedy and contend playing F2P or limited 5* characters. Anyway the correct thing mihoyo done with Genshin is that in addition to make a very good game (AAA tier for free), their community is als

I think it's just Tencent that are too money oriented, instead of Chinese gamedev environment as a whole that fucked up. To be fair, a lot of famous Chinese game are gacha/microtransaction since China is mobile first environment.

Gov is pretty sure has a far stronger leverage than AWS. For example, if AWS cancels unilaterally Gov contracts, Gov will show that as Exhibit A of the need of Anti Trust. Anyway, if Gov can procure cloud services, they should procure multi

Pompeo for me seems very narcissistic person. This week alone I already saw his tweets as Sec of State asking people to follow his personal account. Is it normal to do that? Not to mention having digital photo of him for every announcement

When I read the "teaser" of this announcement in a few UK tabloids (Daily Mail/Telegraph), the title seems bombastic ("UK diplomats brace for Pompeo's bombshell" or something like that). Yet for me the announce

I think even democratic country like India would start to consider "national" social media for national security purpose. Of course, Jio might be a strong lobbyist for that.

And Twitter should act as an arbiter for such distinction?

I am not in the field of Geopolitics, so I only heard opinions from Twitter or Quora mostly. Apparently lots of people over there perceived that Dugin's influence to Putin was over inflated. Especially after Trump was elected along wit

Again I'm talking from sovereign point of view. You don't want Silicon Valley companies to control your country's information flow. There's no guarantee that those companies won't ban the account of government appar

I am talking in a more general term. And also they do want ability impose sovereignty upon the narrative. That include the ability to prevent Silicon Valley companies propagate narrative that is not compatible with the sovereign.

Seems the great social media purge towards GOP personals really made many countries rethinking their information sovereignty. There's no way they would allow access to social media, the 21st century mass communication be controlled by
