Thank you for clarifying that. I apologize, did not intend to cry wolf, but I did notice at one point all the comments were getting downvoted.

That's fair but it's also fair to point out how "non-China-related stories on HN that are all-politics and non-tech" are also becoming prevalent. I also don't think that's a good thing, but since there is some

I see the usual mass-flagging/mass-downvoting of the thread and all the comments of any thread talking negatively about China/Xinjiang is occurring. Wondering whether HN will step in or whether the admins here even consider doing

I realize leaving one's homeland is not ideal or desirable but is leaving an option for the Uighur, either through Pakistan (who, while I realize they are an ally of China, also happen to be Muslim) or Kazakhstan or any other adjoining

Not really, the family courts in most Western nations have made it completely untenable.

It's not really a coincidence that this person's companies are linked to Muslim regions or where there are conflicts in Muslim nations. https://www.economist.com/democracy-in-america/2009/08/06/

It messed up the network-manager/DNS iirc, though this was a while ago as I mentioned. The problem had something to do with the configuration of the Ubuntu package which was kinda fucked up so that didn't help matters, this is pre

>works really well Yes it works, but the setup can get messy. It used to break Ubuntu for me (like beyond repair and needed a full reinstall). I agree, I wish there was more consensus about how to lock down DNS traffic. It's surpris

Whenever I hear another case like this, I'm once again reminded of how the mainland Chinese deal with being witnesses to accidents or crimes taking place (as long as they aren't the victim), they simply walk on by as the "rew

This doesn't impede the Streisand Effect taking place right now though, which is the real story here. Not sure how many views the video had prior to the takedown but now it's at ~1.2 million and is probably to going to be at 3x th

The Chinese realize what others refuse to, it's a race and whoever wins sets the rules. And what would they gain by waiting and losing the first-mover advantage? The article talks about risks, they are certainly not that concerned abou

Above a certain age I've wondered about this a lot. I don't think our generation (I'm assuming most of us are millenials) operates in this regard in the way even our parents did and other than the prevalence of social media

There's no real reason Apple wouldn't use your data if they thought they could do so without getting caught. Anyway I thought this was all moot since Snowden happened?

I'm guessing you're on KDE (as am I) but it would be cool to see GNOME Terminal compared also. What I got from these results is that Konsole is already good enough to not bother switching.

Yes but there's nothing surprising about the Walled Garden Company promoting their own snowflake version of Vulkan and insisting everyone who wants to run software must do things their way. This is the same company who has totally lock

This says more about how efficient KDE has become than how LXQt is performing, if they're feeling like KDE is eating LXQts lunch. I know people want choice and all, but I think we have reached the point where it would make sense for KD
