bzb5··on China blocks Wikimedia Foundation’s accreditation to WIPO
I imagine this article doesn’t include the whole story and is probably biased. Perhaps China was more specific about whatever Wikimedia did.
bzb5··on China blocks Wikimedia Foundation’s accreditation to WIPO
> the Wikimedia Foundation was carrying out political activities via the volunteer-led Wikimedia Taiwan chapter

Is this true?

bzb5··on MacOS-like Fonts on Manjaro/Arch Linux
The result would be the San Francisco font... rendered terribly.
bzb5··on Windows XP source code has leaked
I’m astonished by the amount of people who choose to leak code on 4chan.
bzb5··on Mark in the Middle
It is. 50% of youth unemployment in Spain for example.
bzb5··on Mark in the Middle
That’s interesting, thank you.
bzb5··on Epic, Spotify, and Tinder form advocacy group to push for app store changes
I said freer, not completely free.

And by free I mean the amount of people who currently use for example WhatsApp, which allows us to freely communicate with others. Even my mother is using it! Ten years ago she hadn’t touched any kind of tech.

bzb5··on Jio’s phone will run Android and cost about $54
And what’s India currently?
bzb5··on Tor Browser 10
There are many things you can’t post online because you’d get in trouble.
bzb5··on Tor Browser 10
> since we can freely trade information over the public internet

No we can’t.

bzb5··on Wikipedia is getting a new look
Many people including me use the browser maximised all the time.
bzb5··on Discovery of a druggable pocket in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
I don’t understand the sarcasm. Those resources cost Oracle money, and they give them for free to researchers. A mention in return is very reasonable.
bzb5··on UC Berkeley inappropriately admitted students as favors to donors
You are comparing European culture to Anglo culture. That’s pears to oranges. Not saying one is better than the other, but they work differently.
bzb5··on The Fairphone 3+ is a repairable dream that takes beautiful photos
For context Android 10 was released over a year ago.
bzb5··on China sharply expands mass labor program in Tibet
> over half a million people were trained as part of the project in the first seven months of 2020 - around 15% of the region’s population

In the meantime countries such as Spain “enjoy” 50% unemployment of the young.

bzb5··on Eviction startup gets gig workers to help landlords kick people out
Not more intimidating than occupying someone else’s property, I guess.
bzb5··on Activists Are Protesting Against Palantir Across the Country This Week
From the article it seems they are a pro immigration group that is mostly bothered by the collaboration with ICE
bzb5··on Old TV caused village broadband outages for 18 months
Fibre deployments are very expensive; very often it makes no sense whatsoever to deploy fibre, especially to rural communities.
bzb5··on U.S. Justice Dept weighs stripping federal funds from cities allowing 'anarchy'
Define disproportionate. Is it not proportionate to the number of citizens?
bzb5··on Microsoft to acquire ZeniMax Media and Bethesda Softworks for $7.5B
When I saw Doom 2016 running on OpenGL I was shocked. I would’ve never thought you could write an AAA game with it. It made me wonder why game developers use DX instead.
bzb5··on Creating a Home IPv6 Network
Where I am there are more isps that support pcp than isps that support ipv6 at all (zero)
bzb5··on Creating a Home IPv6 Network
Which is why I said pcp. It helps to read the comment.
bzb5··on Creating a Home IPv6 Network
> One of the recent experiences of Linux Plumbers Conference convinced me that if you want to be part of a true open source WebRTC based peer to peer audio/video interaction, you need an internet address that’s not behind a NAT.

...or upnp and pcp, which work out of the box.

bzb5··on Out running this morning and a lady runs past me
>So basically if someone sees a woman running alone there's an app they can go to see her name, picture and address

How sexist. Women are as a strong as men and should not be treated like babies.

bzb5··on We need physical audio kill switches
I’ve got a microphone with a physical kill switch and when turned off it still leaks like a sieve. Be careful with those switches.
bzb5··on Laid Off, Now What?
Staying in a foreign country is a privilege, not a right.
bzb5··on Yelp: Local Economic Impact Report
In 2020 undemocratic seems a synonym for “swift and effective”
bzb5··on Apple Ending "Fortnite Save the World" Updates for Mac
Android’s face unlock was so terrible that they removed it afterwards.
bzb5··on Getting rid of the Google cookie consent popup
It is technically a popup, but the video gets paused as long as it’s open.

YouTube has been annoying me much lately (especially when all videos start playing at low quality for the few first seconds) but this really is the last straw. Unfortunately all videos on the internet are there. So all I can do about it is bark here. Woof woof.

bzb5··on Woman dies during a ransomware attack on a German hospital
> The hospital couldn’t accept emergency patients because of the attack

Yes they could.
