So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

Feet pics sell?! Time for a career change! Actually wait do they have to be female feet? 🤔

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

And mark them with a TODO… Git blame is telling me it’s only 5 years old… Sure it would get resolved any day now…

That is part of my job description (SW Engineer)

In my complete lack of knowledge of SK politics it appears to be an unpopular president accused of corruption trying to stay in power to avoid… The said corruption chargers

Oh, thanks for the explanation. Didn’t know, are goat tongues similar to cats I guess.

Turns out, I spent 18h this year and made more than 1 mistake per minute 😭😞

Isn’t jail labour essentially slave labour?

I don’t get the joke 🤦

Super cute, mine jumps away like a ICBM the second you cover her with anything

No issues here

Everyone accepted pointless shit to do at the airport and moved on with their life. You get on with bullshit rules and don’t question them. People still travel on planes, so not like anyone really protested and stopped air travel.

Being fair outside of usa and western Europe, does anyone else even remember 9/11? As changing to global politics as it initially was, why would the rest of the world care now more than a decade after? Unless it’s one of the countries invaded by USA after.

Oh I see, thanks for the explanation.
